Re: Is Tony soprano dead

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
No one is ever dead in the movies.
Although that old guy who played Anakin in the original cut of ROTJ is getting darned close. |

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
C'mon, there is no modern weaponry capable of taking down Tony, chemical or otherwise, only Tony Soprano, has the blueprint, to kill Tony Soprano, even the bad Indian food couldnt take him down.

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
The ending of the Sopranos and the ending of 2001 both make you want to say WTF?!

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
Why doesn't David chase just come out and say " yes Tony soprano is dead". I mean I love this show probably the best tv show ever. If he died it makes it all that much good!

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
^That's simple. Why should he waste the opportunity to revisit the series, perhaps even in the form of a feature film?

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
The whole point was to not know. There is no answer. Its so that fans would argue for years about what happened.

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
Tony faked his death so that he could eat his hamburger in peace.
But seriously, My interpretation is that he got whacked. |

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
Yes, "Members Only" guy whacked him. No accident that that was what he was wearing and listed in the credits as "man in Members Only jacket."
I think the POV evidence listed above is the strongest but there is much more. A previous episode that season was also entitled "Members Only," emphasizing that that's how the mafia worked. Tony also said in a previous episode while discussing getting whacked that you would "never see it coming." The ending suddenly CUTS to black, not fade to black, insinuating a sudden change. The screen stays black an inordinate amount of time before the credits appear. Remember, people thought their cable went out at the crucial moment! That long blackness (rumors have it that Chase wanted it to last even longer) also indicates his death. The credits rolled without music for the only time in the history of the series. It's over, he's dead. |

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
That's the beauty of the writing on that show it's all linked. Also there's a video of someone interviewing chase and he makes strong points to indicate Tonys downfall.

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
according to david chase.... its up to the viewer,,,, life doesnt have nice tied up endings ala the pine barrens episode.... is the dead..... who knows... personaly i like the fact there is no defacto final answer... yeah there has been a thoudand different interpretations to the ending but none confirmed.... i like to think its just a case of this is wherenthe soprano story is right now... the future had not been told or wrote so anything is possible.... and anyhoo its just a tv show anything could be the outcome

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
He's not dead. The show is just over. The show just stopped (hence why it stopped on the word "stop" in "Don't Stop Believing.")

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
Me personal I think he's dead. The writing on that show is a thing of beauty. The best written and the best made tv show agreed?

Re: Is Tony soprano dead
Okay, how about this: the Producer of the show said that Tony is not dead, and why anyone would assume he is dead is completely beyond him because Tony was, more or less, the main hero of the story (despite the things he did) and it seems pointless to assume he died at the end because of everything he's gone through.
