Dreams are weird but they somehow make sense only to you

They took notes from *David Lynch, and classic show Twin Peaks.*

@@WhiffTiffCoD I loved Twin Peaks

@Tristo Smitty that's subjective. I've had some very odd dreams I can't make sense of. I've had a couple of omen dreams too, one that foretold my mother's death in 6 days. She wasn't sick, t just happened though I can chalk it up to coincidence, I see it as something I can't begin to explain.

"Salami sub, hold the mayo" "We're outta mayo"

Can’t even say his name...

20 fucking years I spent in the can

I did 20 fuckin years'

I don't even know how you can say his name

Very allegorical

Maybe, but if you believe that it was Patsy it doesn’t matter what Tony changed, that the works have already been set in motion against him years ago Patsy was jsut bidding his time until it was right

@@sean5558 patsy would not have Hated tony if his brother wasn’t whacked. Not just that but Patsy son was gonna rat on tony or spend a good amount of time in jail. Although there is a theory going around that it was Paulie who set the thing up, or that A.J’s girlfriend was a plant by Phil’s henchmen, or young carmine. Either way all stem from Tony’s inability to think ahead and protect himself or his family and Kept indulging in his bad behavior that he didn’t have the help he really needed. He was doomed from the Getgo cause misery is something he takes comfort in either he likes it or not. He brought it on himself, and it’s either he dies in a restaurant waiting for meadow, or that he goes to jail for the rest of his life, or worse nothing happens and is stuck in a mundane life. Alone with his own sins.

Sounds like human nature we all experience

@@masterzombie161 whatever. Hate tony . He killed all my favorite characters or putted them in prison in a movie

Honestly the mother mary scene is up there lol its just something about how that bish is floating

first time I watched that, it was late at night in my room and I spent the rest of that night walking around in my room with all the lights on until the sun was visible.

Yes! Hands down one of the creepiest scenes. Still creeps tf out every time I see it 😭

Yes absolutely very scary. David Chase was a master at this

@@TylerSmith-sd2oc That scene was intense, the fact that it starts out of focus and you have to double take, not to mention the sound when you see her too

It was most certainly Livia.

It was Livia who represented everything he feared most and the darkest figure in his life. His actions were always revolved around how he grew up But he kept choosing the wrong way instead of mending that inner hell that stemmed from is mother

@@normie2716 that's what I always thought anyway that would've been the worse personal hell for tony

@@clc-gl4jn yeah I agree with that

It was the Devil greeting him.

Holy shit, that's really terrifying

Tony Actually uses his real life voice when he says it lol

It seemed like things might have been good at that point. Tony B. was there to welcome him, no hard feelings; just let go of the briefcase. Then Carmella and Meadow called him back and he messed it all up.

We see the woman who probably represents his mother inside tho.. I'm glad you didn't mention that animal's last name

@@galacticguardian2783 I feel you man, my mom has been gone for over 20 years and I still grieve sometimes. It’s ok, that is life.

Yes, modern archetypes of a sort

Me no speaky de’englich Me dispiac’

@M R Scum is a strong word, they were bad but look at the circumstances. Most of these guys were born and conditioned to be a mobster from young childhood. That's a victim in my eyes. Especially Chrissy, Imagine being raised with a killer and thief like Tony as the closest thing to a father you will ever have. No wonder Chris didn't turn out so well.

That's not normal, it's poverty

@@johnrodden8273 I hear ya but at some point a victim has to stop making excuses, we don’t have much sympathy for example pedophiles when they were abused as a child ya know? But poverty and being conditioned by family to live the mob life is a hard thing to beat. Not everything is black and white. I’m stoned

@@johnrodden8273 victim?? What the fuck, liberal mindset thro the roof

@@johnrodden8273 that’s the most bullshit I’ve heard in a long while. They are scummy pieces of shit and have no redeeming qualities that make up for the horrible things they’ve done.

People dying and killing on the show was as natural and seamless as it can get. But for some reason, Gloria committing suicide was real impactful and stung kinda hard for me for some reason. It was so tragic and pathetic, and real, ya know? Idk.

OMFG YES AND SHE WAS THE VOICE IN TONY'S S6 COMA DREAM??? THE VOICE OF HIS WIFE???

@@gladysmueller5062 no it was medow

@@gladysmueller5062 I think it’s Charmaine. Since that life represents what would happen if he never became a mobster.

The suicide episode of Gloria in season 4 was so very creepy and depressing. The way Carmella casually mentions that nice sales women and how she killed herself, and Tony (with his back to her) is completely in shock and devastated yet cannot show it whatsoever. The nightmare where she is making him that London broil (the one she threw at his back) and we see the ceiling cracking, so very depressing and terrifying.

I'm sorry but "sleeping comfortably" isnt synonymous with living well. Millions of decent people struggle with insomnia

@@christophersuswal9544 oh yeah ofcourse, I’m just saying that tony is so deeply affected by his life that he feels unsafe in his dreams, and was scared he may have muttered something his wife shouldn’t hear. I didn’t mean any disrespect to those with actual conditions keeping them from sleeping.

@@christophersuswal9544 I know people who struggle with insomnia and in no way does it make you a bad person or someone who doesn’t deserve happiness. In fact I respect people who have to go through such adversity, sleeping is so important so having issues with it can and will affect many different aspects of your life.

No worries man I figured that's what you meant. And I agree with you that this scene (as well as many of the other plots on the show) prove how miserable Tony is and uncomfortable in his own skin

​@@christophersuswal9544 if you figured thats what he meant, why did you make the shitty pearl clutching comment?

One of my favourite parts of the Sopranos, I love film that attempts to capture and portray dreams when done well.

@@mitchtherighteous Facts it played out like a real dream

I get a serious chill down my spine watching some of it no joke Seeing the creepiness of it to me is scarier than any horror film I ever watched

@@clc-gl4jn i havent watched anything of the sopranos but the part where he goes to a house and tony b (?) keeps asking for his suitecase scares the fuck out of me

@@longstachkaido240 I know right - I don’t get weirded out easily at all but I’m telling everyone those scenes are scary as hell 💯 ....

I wonder why that scene is so disturbing to all who see it. It's like it hits something psychological or something, worst then any horror movie...

@@carlosalegria4776 I think it's because that we, somehow, as a viewer, know that the woman is Livia. We know she's that suffocating, shadowy and monstrous figure that haunted Tony his whole life. To imagine that Tony's hell is to be trapped forever with that woman in a lightless house is just beyond disturbing. This is what I imagine hell looks like.

​@@duastorres7251I have no ideea who this person is, this scene is still pretty eerie and creepy

Without the dream sequences or the therapy scenes the show wouldn't have been as good as it was. The mob stuff is great but those extra layers are why it's the greatest television show ever made

People hate the dream sequences?? That's nuts don't think I've ever seen dreams portrayed so well in media. Definitely one of the more memorable aspects of the show for me

Did you ever notice the leaf clover in the background in the back of the Bada Bing...

And in his coma his mistaken identity is an Irish name (Kevin Finnerty)

@@kevinw8276 these guys must REALLY hate the Irish

Hell is hot thats never been disputed by anybody. He went to purgatory

I’d have loved to have seen that actually on screen.

Holy shit …

Melfi did him more harm than good. This is evident in the penultimate episode of the series. Ripping pages from her Departures magazine and the "don't need to be a gynecologist to know which way the wind blows" comments showed Melfi that she made the right choice in dumping him as a patient.

Also a reference to godfather. Very allegorical

@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Agreed, she made the right choice but all too late for all the wrong reasons. Remember the dinner table scene with Elliot where he hung her out dry in front of all her colleagues and friends by breaking doctor patient confidentiality. It's weird that nobody gets hung up on him calling out her bullshit as immoral. If she had broke it off him earlier it wouldn't have been but there and then I have to agree with Tony.

​@@danielrafferty4108y'all just be doing mental gymnastics to place greater blame on women less deserving of it than males

My thoughts exactly!

He has to. There’s only so much show to work with

His father was ruthless but seemed like a chill guy if you didn't "do business" with him and on some level cared and loved his kids. Him being "rubbed into a nub" by the time of his death speaks volumes

Ralph seemed pretty antagonistic to me too.

This is a really interesting take. David Lynchian. Judy from the Return would pull some ish like this

That's good. I like this

All I know is that he didn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete

Look into ARG. analog horror on KZfaq. Or watch Wendigoon videos about it. Exactly the same feeling. Yes its horror but no jumpscares, no gore. Just... eerie.

You know I don’t know why but this is like the first thing that kinda like really scared me I watch horror movies all the time and it’s my favorite even the shitty ones because I just laugh but the Virgin Mary and Tony’s dream fucking gives me chills like something about it just makes me scared almost wanting to cry and I’m not blowing this out of proportion seeing his mother from the stair but not really knowing if it’s his mother how they just stand there and don’t say anything to hearing Tony’s daughter say “daddy” from the trees while he was almost dead and how Virgin Mary just appears everything about is freaks me out also with the psychic he just give me the chills

You're probably experiencing what I felt, a deep discomfort at seeing this normally stoic; powerful character completely terrified. He has none of his power in these dream sequences, and almost sounds like a scared child.

@@sirronald285 I'm not a big horror fan so tell me if you have a different perception of the genre, but a horror movie's main focus is to scare you and you don't get the level of deep characterization and connection that you do with The Sopranos, so when the show eventually gets eerie it's all the more unsettling

Yes! Everything takes on a different meaning while rewatching when you realize this Tony expression when throwing dirt on Jackie Aprile coffin doesn't seem so warm and loving

@@mrtrolly4184 Amazing thing about snakes is that they reproduce spontaneously.

He took AJ to see the church. AJ asks why they never go.

That’s a great interpretation but I always viewed it as Tony lamenting the way his life turned out. And the Livia-esque figure on the stairs is bearing down on him symbolizing the fact that he blames Livia for preventing him from having a “normal” life. He did take great pride in his grandfather’s work and I believe that goes hand in hand with how Tony always imagined himself outside the mafia. His admiration for his grandfather could also relate to his idealization of the “Strong Silent Type” considering that he literally couldn’t speak the language(lol) and he’d definitely be a strong man considering his profession, the time and the manner in which he made it to the US. Papa Soprano was everything Tony wanted to be but he couldn’t live up to that due to his mother’s unwillingness to see anyone around her be happy. A cursed existence. I did a semester and a half at Lone Star University. I understand novelistic deconstruction as a concept.

Tony also takes Meadow there in a season 1 episode, I forgot that AJ saw it too.

Good Interpretation. As a psychologist I would identify Tony as a goal orientated psychopath and borderline personality disorder. Then again, pretty much every mobster fits that bill. Power is the only thing men like Tony crave, the rest is just ornamentation. They cannot love, nor can they truly feel anything which is outside their goal of power. I like to think Furio came back and whacked Tony, then spirited away with Carmella to Naples. Tony Soprano, the man everyone loved to hate. He was like Darth Vader but with bigger balls and a charming disposition.

@@tedwojtasik8781 The hole in that Furio theory is that he blew her husband's brains out in front of her and kids. Why would she love him after witnessing that? AJ and Meadow's life were taking a positive turn. Now with Tony dead, Patsy and Paulie all that's really left, she will be left with nothing and so will her children. Carmela's worst fear the entire show came true. Her support line is gone.

Part 2: Nightmare Sequence In the nightmare sequence, this is the destination that Tony does end up. It is here where Tony is in a nice suit, in the back seat of the car, being driven to a destination. To me this has some homage to the River Styx in Greek myth, where in this sequence, the driver is akin to the ferryman bringing Tony’s soul down the River Styx, where the longer down the river one travels, the more harsher the person’s punishment is in the afterlife. It is here we see a glimpse of all the people Tony has hurt and harmed in someway thus far, showing us the “sins” Tony has committed throughout his life,. When Tony arrives at the house, as pointed out in the video, Tony’s appearance beings to deteriorate, where he looks like a poor worker. It is here, Tony’s lavish lifestyle (especially achieved through his sins) is stripped away to Tony’s bare minimum. Furthermore, when Tony arrives at the house, the house in a terrible shape - just like he is when he arrives. When Tony goes up to the dilapidated house and knocks, it is interesting to note that the door just opens by itself to let him inside and he is face-to-face with the creepy “Woman in Black” on the stairs standing there ominously like the devil coming to take Tony’s soul for the afterlife. It is also interesting to note that the door opening by itself is indication that since Tony is now in hell, hell is ready and waiting for him “not strings attached so to speak” for him to step inside to be “with the devil” forever. This in stark contrast to the Tony/Kevin being at the same house in much better condition, and being allowed in, but needing to drop the briefcase first. Lastly, to me the “Woman in Black” aka “the Devil”represents Tony’s mother Livia - the one person that Tony blames for messing up his life, leading him down his path of destruction, and preventing him from living the normal life he could have had as “Kevin Finnerty”. To me this part of the nightmare represents that Tony is in hell, where he now has to spend the rest of the afterlife, in this creepy, old dilapidated house, with the person the he hates the most - his mother.

One last thing I would like to add - it’s interesting to see that in the series finale, when the hitman passes Tony’s 3 o’clock, and we see the picture of the house on the wall, the house looks likes its old and in a state of decay. To me - here as Tony lives his final moments, the state of the house gives us an idea where Tony will end up in the after life.

I always thought it was because of all the people they cut up in the back of Satriales, i remember him making the comment while cutting up Richie with Furio, "It's going to be a while before I eat anything from Satriales". Its either the guilt from him being so loyal to his lifestyle that he could inadvertently be feeding people human meat, or the fear of getting caught. That's what I believe holding him & he can't shake himself free from. That being said, this is the Sopranos and there are a million takes for every scene

It's the hand of the mob. It feeds Carmella and Adriana, and drags Chris in

That's a very good point, and one I've not really since made. Aside from Twin Peaks use of dreams and dream logic, I think The Sopranos has one of the best narrative uses of dreams in television. Where Twin Peaks (& David Lynch's work at large) has dreams and reality overlap, The Sopranos uses dreams to convey a character's innermost thoughts and fears. Also, the way the dreams are shot is fantastic. It feels like how a dream actually feels, rather than just a lame fake out, like a lot of other shows.

your cousin Tony, whatever happened there....

And he was prostrate with grief

You mean 2 black guys shot his face away

That actually made me cry because you could hear the pain of a child calling for their parent. It hits harder when you have a daughter of your own

Right. Even when Tony gave Chris "10 minutes to think about it" out on the front steps of his house, it was understood... there's no out. If you say no, you're choosing death, which shall come to you by my hand, one way or another. I think the reason Chris looked so dejected when he got up and went back inside (to be with Tony) that he knew he was as good as dead either way. This way just put it off for a while longer.

It was very much like Nicky Scarfo’s life. When he killed Ralph remember Patsy saying if he could do that then née of them were safe. I believe that’s where Patsy launched the plot to kill Tony. He was already turning members and Paulie decided to go along after their trip to south Florida.

Maybe not the movie life, but Christopher very much chooses the mob life of his own doing when he betrays Adrianna

@n/a that house wasn’t heaven, it was hell. Deceptively inviting and appearing as light, but Tony’s misgivings, rushed urgings of his cousin, representing the devil, that Tony let go of the briefcase ( his life or soul) and the appearance of the same shadowy woman’s figure as earlier (representing his mother) tells Tony and us that nothing good lies in store in that house. It will be his hell if he enters.

I always wonder what Junior and Johny's home was like. We know their father was a stone mason that barely spoke english so the cultural and generation divide was there but we hear absolutely nothing about their mother. Makes me wonder about their relations with women. Johnny marrying the She-Beast, and Junior being an insecure bachelor.
