- ET spoke with the some of 'The Sopranos' cast members about the show's ending at the 20th anniversary red carpet.
Exclusives from #ETonline :
• NEW From Entertainment...
The guy who played AJ literally hasn’t aged at all
He’s almost at the same age as Gandolfini was at the start of the series.
@@Fleyk1707 its the adrenochrome he's taking.
Still a pretty insufferable b list celebrity from what I made of him with a podcast episode or two 🤷🏻♂️
@@TEAMGETHELPdoes he get his hair cut at the liberal store ?
@@TEAMGETHELPwhy?
Remember what Bobby said "when it happens I bet you don't even hear it right?" And when Gerry got hit sitting next to Sil, it went silent and Sil didn't even realize what happened until blood hit his face. We kept seeing Tony's point of view as people we're walking into the diner, everytime the bell rang Tony looked up and we see through his eyes. He looks up one last time to see his daughter and we see his point of view, complete darkness or death. The members only jacket the mysterious man was wearing is a big hint as well tht he was a wise guy.
Yup 👍🏽 I thought the same, when he sees meadow for the last time the guy that was in the bathroom shot him in the head,and the silence is what “bacala” said..that mysterious guy was an Italian and probably an assassin from phill
They could of just showed that, that thought they were being smart making an ambitious ending.
No Tony just passed out again and had a fever dream where he set himself on fire while his crew watched.
@J H his name is Michael Imperioli and no he didn't say that at all.
the darkness at the ending can be two things:
the death
or the dark,i mean that without doctor Melfi, without his closest friends, Tony remains empty.
*The Sopranos Cast Reflect On How the Show Ended*
Every cast member: "Yeah idk bro."
Lmao. Just shrugs all around
for real. talk about useless
Because they don't lol, they have no clue since their script literally just cuts out there.
Edie literally says "as if they continued to go on after the camera stopped but in fact they didn't.". They all died except for Meadow.
Whaddya gonna do?
Christopher still has amazing hair
I am not even 30 but I wish I had his hairline!!
Pussy Hair is even better
Come on Tony! I'm 10 months sober!
I adore Lorraine's voice
+Total wreck the same actress that played Jane Frankie and Tommy Rizzoli's mum on Rizzoli and Isles
Me too lol
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675bro why is her voice hella scratchy now sounds like she needs water on standby vs season 1
She sounds like my cousins from Long Island 😅
Cigarettes
An assassin entered the diner, Tony was killed. Meadow took shrapnel in one eye. She lived (with an eye patch) and became the Attorney General for NJ. Carm seized control of OC. Built a fortified palace. AJ went nuts on money, drugs, and power. Furio came back and helped cement it all. I have another 10 seasons written. I've reached out. They all ignore me. "Fan-fiction" has destroyed smart writers... Ah, well...
Lmaooo 👍
Lol ...a true fan
This was great lol
U look like that guy, chrystopher friend,the writer from the movies😅
Furio got Carm pregnant with a surrogate and they named him FJ.
Everyone gets the ending that they want. Whatever you want to happen to Tony happens.
Open to interpretation 😉,smart final..but in the last 6 minutes is very clear that the end is his end🙃
So Tony is alive and very well and happy ENDA STORY
I never thought about it like that... actually a great way to look at it
@@corvotorvo4337 Base on the show that's the true ending, they were just happily eating in the restaurant ,thsts it
Tony flipped and was at the restaurant to meet the FBI agent to discuss the relocation
They all look great
You too
@@cracklingsoda
I concur 😏
Imperioli still looks good but why does it seem like he’s aged ten times faster than everyone else?
Genetics and stress maybe
Cause he just let his hair go grey?😕
He looks near the exact same in the face he probably was just predisposed to go grey earlier
Because real men never dye their hair!
@@neiljohnson5351 I mean that's not true.
The best show ever love it
I can't understand the confusion about the ending. I mean first of all, take what you want from it but it seemed to me to be pretty straightforward that Tony got killed. All of the clues were littered throughout the season, especially the bells! But also, for those who want to know what happened to Tony's wife and children, that too was explained pretty thoroughly throughout the last season when Tony's out of action in hospital after Uncle Junior shot him. The family basically descends into chaos. I'm remembering in particular, Carmella's twisted face after the realisation that Paulie was extremely unhappy about providing her with money and only does so when he realises that Tony isn't going to die (from Uncle Junior's bullet).
Not confirmed he died
@@allaboutthemurzic the writer said himself he is dead
@@angelic_screams he only ever talked about other ways he envisioned tony getting whacked. The sopranos universe ends when tony looks up at the door. Nothing more nothing less
@@bcp25Not true. He said that when he noticed the little restaurant where they filmed the last scene, he said to himself "Tony should get it in this kind of place".
@@bcp25Not true. He said that when he noticed the little restaurant where they filmed the last scene, he said to himself "Tony should get it in this kind of place".
I def think the ending aged well, and is way more appreciated now than it was in its time.
I agree with Jamie-Lynn Siger. Life went on.
Although David said recently Tony died, I want to believe it's open for thought.
I think all was just showing the constant anxiety Tony had to live with but he remained with his family.
The result is clear if you follow the progression of action;
We see Tony.
The bell at the door rings, we see Tony look up and we see what Tony sees; Carmella walking in.
We see Tony.
The bell at the door rings, and again we see Tony look up and we see what Tony sees; A.J. walking in.
We see Tony.
The bell at the door rings, and again we see Tony look up and we see what Tony sees; but this time what Tony sees is nothing because Tony has just been shot dead.
Man! Meadow is still a smoke show!
Keep it high and tight!
Lorraine Bracco....
@@illwitness ...........😑
Mannish face, looks glued on
@@License2Bust yea she looks fake
They lived happily ever after. In my world they do!!!! Believe that!!!!! 😂😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
I will quote Mr Blonde 'Either he's alive or he's dead or the cops got him, or they don't?
Well, I think it was just Tony's anxiety.
But great quote and answer. Lol.
Tony got his brains blown out but reappears stepping out of the shower in the next series. It was all a dream.
With the theme from the Bob Newhart show!
Meadow says it perfectly, it just ended but if you think about it, you get a sense Tony's dead but DONT STOP BELIEVIN
Tony didn't die. He was just having anxiety while eye-balling that door. Because of the life he chose.
Interpretation is left to the beholder!
Pretty darned uniform set of opinions from the cast. They just don't want to cross David Chase.
Exactly!... Very disappointed in their responses. Rubbish!
Yeah. ET is a waste of time, like most of television.
at least edie is honest. basically the expectations were so high that they said "fuck it", and cut to black. so instead of pleasing one part of the fans or another, chase angered them all in one fell swoop.
I always thought he died but maybe him looking worried and and being suspicious of every person coming in and out of places he is is just his life now. Always looking over his shoulder, family not safe. Idk lol great ending.
It’s crazy that AJ had the best response
Wtf Aj talks so different i guess that makes him a good actor
Oh my god, Lorraine Bracco looks absolutely fantastic
Best non-answers of all time lol
The ending was perfect.
The writing was so good that they left clues to justify 10 different endings, I even saw on person say that AJ and tony got whacked and they got aj first cus his POV would have been looking at tony then cut to black,there is no right answer or is no wrong answer but chase and his team realized they show was so popular and had so much riding on the ending that the only way they could end it without ruining it was to do what they did
If you watch the final four minutes of the finale carefully, you can tell that Tony was anticipating something bad to happen to him. This is evident when he's waiting for his family to come and when the door opens the first time with the door bell sound he immediately reaches for his pocket indicating he's prepared (he's got a gun) but nothing happens. He does the same thing in the last scene where Meadow's arrival is anticipated. He reaches for his gun. We can just chalk it up to the fact nothing necessarily happened, just like the first time and meadow simply just walked in.
Ty
I love Christopher in every movie he's in
Oooh gosh! 🤣🤣🤣
Ya'll are actually asking the cast, "What do you think happened?"....
If David Chase himself is not sharing, then you should know....the cast aren't going to speak on it! 😂😂😂😂
When y'all see them, just share how much you appreciated their talents they contributed to the show; they get enough fans that constantly ask them, "what happened? "...😅😅😅
Toneyy my spec houssze!
I'd have ended it with it turning out to be Kevin Finnerty passing time on his cI'd have ended it with it turning out to be Kevin Finnerty passing time on his commute from NYC to NJ by writing each episode, which is why they are different lengths, with the theme song playing in his head, a kind of fantasy life.
In the end it doesn’t matter because it was over for him every which way
The crux for me was after such fantastic scripts this was a damp squib,possibly to bring it back to life in the future.
I think the actors don't even know what the ending means, it seems like they didn't even think about it for a bit. They all agreed "yes this is the ending idk what it means but take it 👍"
We like the ending for the many things it implies and how it allows you to imagine any conclusion you want after it cuts off
Like Meadow said, life just went on, nobody clapped Tony, we would have heard at least a gunshot but we didn't.
A heard it was Alabama that killed Tony in the end.....
They woke up this morning and got themselves a gun...
Ojala supiera ingeles para saber k dice ay
0:33 damn that hit hard i gotta realize that it doesnt go on😂
Exactly. So many TH-camrs analyzed the characters and made assumptions as "to what really happened to Tony" is ridiculous. If Chase wanted you to know, he would've filmed it.
Still, looking forward to the prequel.
Prequel?
@@antoniafaheerty6980 oh yes ...and Gandolfini's son, Michael, plays young Tony Soprano.
Total garbage..
Shrodingers box
They left you wanting more and never jumped the shark.
*Jamie* 😍
If you look closely, it's all there - David Chase
I think the cast knows but is told to not say anything
I don’t think tony died it’s giving us that expression
Where's Jackie Jr.
Ton!
It’s not rocket science. Tony was whacked. Lights out.
You choose your own ending.
The entire diner EXPLODES 💣 😮
It was not a great way to end the show. It wasn't an ending. It was a big, "I don't know what to do. So let's leave it blank." You're a writer. It's your story. Figure it out. Good or bad decision, take responsibility for it.
i agree 100% was one of the worst endings
They made sure the majority of the people were mad.
They were all media trained
When someone opens the door we see tony, then what he sees. The last time the door opens, we see tony then black, cos that’s what tony sees
I think he died , every time the doorbell rang he looked up and the camera showed what he was looking at , but the last time the doorbell rang more likely when meadow came in , he looked up and the camera turned black .. it means he got shot from the side … but what would have been better .. is that when the doorbell rang and we see Tony looking up the last time , that the camera would show meadow for a split second and in this split second we can see almost her expression but not enterly . And then the camera turned black . Best serie it could have been al little longer .. but at the end i didnt like tony anymore he went to harsh with everybody
Alive goes on. Carmella is getting pounded by Furio on a regular basis.
Tony got whacked off and he loved it. The guy continued to whack him until completion. End of story.🎉
Chicken Shit Ending...........When the people """In The Show""""
Don't know whats going on .............Now that's a bed ending ..............
Who gave the ok???
He clearly got whacked, but they left it open so they could cash in down the line if they wanted to. RIP Tony
Tony got killed in the diner...that's why it went black. Dunno why the cast (as well as David Chase) refuse to say that - just wanna keep people talking? There is no mystery, it was just good filmmaking!
How does AJ look like he hasn’t aged a day since season 6? Ik this is 4 years ago- but that’s still well over 10 years after the show ended, and he still looks like a baby lol.
AJ still hasn’t hit puberty, crazy.
I neglect the bad ending. People can make whatever theories, I just believe the show ended!!
Hello how are you
Everyone’s saying tony died, which is prolly true. But my theory is that it’s just his paranoia and it shows he’ll always have this shadow over him of uneasiness. Im refusing to believe they killed him.
Creator David Chase,who would know better than anyone, confirmed to E News that Tony indeed died in that diner!
@@michaelschwab9806 No he didn't confirmed it anywhere. Stop making shit.
It doesn't really matter if Tony didn't die that day, in the end it will be he fate bullet in the back of the head
Onion rings . 🤤
People have no brains if they need to ask what happened. They are looking into it way too much.
Lorraine Bracco was so beautiful, why did she mess with her face?
Vito jr was the real murder
Hated the ending
ending SUCKED - Chase did this on purpose and pissed us fans off
People
Tony was killed by the members only jacket gentleman as meadow walked in. Screen goes black. Sopranos move on and tony was rich enough so im sure they were taken care of. Soprano mob family took care of them money wise. New boss was made and thats it
I love onion rings
The audience got "whacked", end of Tony's story.
tony dies. the actors all know it, but david has convinced them all that its more successful to just be coy and to push the narrative of "figure it out yourself" aka rewatch the show and discuss it to cause further engagement ... aka keep the secret going so we all continue to make money off of this.
but yea, tony dies. all the clues are there. the long fade to black.
Man this some bs these mfs dont even know the ending either
Tony not Joey, Would never!!! 🤣 allow himself to get whacked in front of his family. He has was suspicious of that character they went into the bathroom And that's enough to know that he was prepared for whatever.
Edie Falco saying she loved the way it ended is really a slap in the face to all the loyal watchers of the show.
That’s ridiculous. I didn’t mind the ending. It just took a day or so to process it.
@@Julieroo28 ok great, so you’re the one out of 1000 who didn’t mind the ending. Good for you. Lol
@@matthewj16 I don’t know. I haven’t done a poll. All I know is it ended 16 years ago, and you should probably let it go instead of being angry with Edie Falco. That’s kinda sad, bro.
None of them give any opinion whatsoever. BS really.
It’s business as usual that’s what didn’t happen
Who cares? It's a great show, we already know Tony will always be dead on the inside.
Whattya gonna do. Cop out ending to a great fuckin TV show.
He died
Most terrible ending in tv history
Lazy ending 🤷♂️
worst ending ever
I miss the cast. The end was bad.
He died 100%
Saying it’s open to interpretation is either being in denial or willfully stupid. Everything from the focus on the sketchy members only guy constantly casing him, reference to Bobby saying you prob don’t even hear/see it when it happens, to the turn to black on Tony’s frame tells us he got shot multiple times on the side and died instantly.
We’d see his pov and plus a movie was in talks but gandolfini passed
The show was about his therapy and trying to redeem himself, by the end he’s quit therapy and become his true self. There was no more to be done. Had the show continued, it’d just be mob stuff or him going to prison - assuming he wasn’t whacked.
The entire members only jacket guy character and the whole three o'clock throughline/godfather reference is just there to give morons who don't want to think for themselves an out. It is 100% left open to interpretation, because that's real life.
Massively overrated show.
The ending sucked.
Just like the final season of GOT. Subverting audience expectations for the sake of it is never good. Sopranos is amazing except the last 3 minutes.
It was a bullshit ending
Is this show worth watching?
did onion rings go to waste? a lame journey song?
Every time Tony looks up, the camera changes to the door. Indicating that camera view is his perspective. The last time he looks up, it doesn’t show the door. It shows blackness. Void. Dark. He got popped.
He didn’t hear it coming.
🎶 don't stop believing 🎶
Not proven
@@allaboutthemurzic dude you’re the type of person who literally needs cue cards to understand the most simplest things.
It’s very clearly illustrated and unless you have to have things spelled out to understand them, the entire POV section should clear things up.
@@Nanobot1989 the last shot wasn’t even in Tony’s POV it literally showed his face lol. Maybe you need a cue card to understand the simplest things since you clearly don’t understand what POV means
@@bcp25got it. You’re being purposefully stupid. My bad. Carry on.
I believe Tony died either way. Wether or not he was shot dead in front of his family , or if he lived and went to jail ect. One thing that season 6 made me realize about Tony is that his character was done evolving. He was a mob boss, a wise guy at heart. Turned away by his therapist , resented by people who’ve felt hurt by him, accepted by his wife and children the father he was.
exactly. he has no more to show us. his character development was finished
Yeah the problem is that all us fans wanted the show to keep going so we came up with all these theories as to who ordered the hit on Tony and so on. It didn't really matter because the show was over anyway. So the only question is did Tony get whacked or did we get whacked?
@@lpr5269I don’t think that’s it. I think it’s more people want a return in investment. If you recall season 6 was long & frankly more boring than not. Ontop of the other seasons people I would think wanted a complex or enthralling ending. Great shows can do that, overrated shows think they’re slick for not putting in that extra work. I think sopranos was ultimately overrated
Honestly, getting clipped like that with Tony's final memory being seeing his daughter is the perfect way for him to go. Just look at Sil, Pussy, Bobby, uncle Junior, Johnny Sak, and how they went out. It was a blessing in disguise. Given how any of the other major characters went, it is extremely unlikely Tony survived.
It isnt confirmed hes dead
The creator said he considered how tony could die but he never said tony did die
How do you think Meadow life will turn out? She had to watch her Dads head blown off. And you know it was with a sawed off shotgun.
@@allaboutthemurzic He did
@@allaboutthemurzic David Chase confirmed that Tony was killed in this last scene. He's gone
@brunopereiraikercasillas6265 never confirmed that Tony died. All Chase said was that he planned Tony to get whacked in a meeting in NY but stuff gets re written all the time. Tony's mom for example prob woulda been in the show longer but the actress passed away unfortunately.
