It’s a weird feeling to miss somebody that you’ve never met.
Same, I'm a Vietnamese, know about Mr. James Gandolfini throught 'The Mexican' movie and I was interesting with his role.
Then I just typed the name of James then realized that he was dead two years ago, my face and my emotion just can't explain but I feel sadly immeadiately...
Just in 2018, I was know about The Sopranos and really enjoying this tv-show, threw my die hard habbit 'video-games' into a space to digging The Sopranos until the end.
To this day, I still miss and love James Gandolfini but I still not know my why for it.
Maybe I liked him because James is a New Jersey but his thoughts and class was crushed me.
Sorry if my English is terrible to explain my words, because there is a lot of things I wanna share about James Gandolfini.
@@chuannguyenvuanhSG92 your not wrong it's depressing finishing the show itself then to later find out that James had past is heartbreaking such a great actor took way too soon.
Ik what you mean. Ik this sounds kind of unrelated but thats how i felt when nipsey hussle died... yk successful people tell young people a pretty common peice of advice and that's "if you wanna be a millionaire but don't know where to start. A good place would be is to find a millionaire you feel you relate to and jog behind him everyday when he goes jogging" if you know what that means then you know. My point is though... that's usually true except when your 19... and you've been "jogging" to the tune of your favorite millionaire for 5 years and then suddenly you watch him get shot 6 times and kicked in the head in the parking lot of his own establishment...almost made me give up tbh watching the man that gave me hope get murdered. I'm sure thats how alot of people feel about mr gandolfini as well..
it was my last day in the army. mandatory military education, or whatcha ma callit. received a message from my friend: "james gandolfini has died, sorry for your loss". I was happy to be free, but sad for this at the same time. never forget that day. and I surely understand how it really is weird, to get so emotional over someone who you never knew
This is so on point....what a huge loss.
Someone told me once Game Of Thrones is better than The Sopranos. Im still laughing.
Tony to Carmela
Ur muh qween
Sure the ending of Sopranos made some mad. But the ending of GoT? HAHAHAHA. Talk about how to destroy a franchise.
@@finsfan90 its quite amazing how you can ruin 7 great season with one very bad season, smh
I would also block that person’s number
@@MALIRIPPA
Yup. Every single thing up until season 8 was rendered pointless and a waste of time. Ive had no desire to revist that show since the final season aired. Havent even watched clips on youtube. People can say what they want about the Sopranos ending, but it didnt leave a black mark on the entire series like GoT's ending did.
Gandolfini the man definitely had the makings of a varsity athlete.
He’s a goddamn hot house flower, that’s his problem.
Played out
Eddie Valenzuela move on pal.
@Scott Olson "eh, WUYUGUNUDHOO?"
@@jdizzle8751 Youre acting like a woman who's got two virginia hams under her arms and crying because shes got no bread.
“One of the best uses of my time during this pandemic was finally getting to watch the Sopranos in full.”
One of the truest statements I’ve heard in a while
Same story as me, except for me it was the incredible _Hill Street Blues_
SO GOOD! Finally had the time! :D th-cam.com/video/apo5Ft0XLhQ/w-d-xo.html
I did the same, almost finishing it, and I'm amazed
Finished it yesterday tremendous show
We are enjoying watching the series through. James Gandolfini's acting is amazing. The other characters are just as good. I have only watched it now and again when it was on. I will probably re-watch the whole series again. It will be one of the favorites of all time along with Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire.
Finally got to watch Kenna James entire oeuvre during lockdown. Time well spent, if a little draining.
he will return as Gandolfini the white.
We could only hope 😂😭
Greatest comment I've ever read
I am stealing this and not crediting you fyi.
@@GreySkullification
Dont be a scrub.
😅😢😭
Whatever Happened to guys like Gary Cooper THE STRONG SILENT TYPE
Method acting.
He was gay? Gary Coopah?
I understand therapy as a concept, but in my world it does not go down
Whadevah happened to gary coopah, y'know da strwong silent type?
He died!
All parts of The Sopranos were great, even the dream and therapy sequences. They were all necessary.
I loved the dreams. They were one of the best parts of the show. I think they portrayed the semi-coherent nature of dreams as well as the motifs which are drawn from recent experiences in the real world (as can be seen).
*particularly the dream sequences.
Hated that dream episode......it ceesed to be sopranos to me
@@davidschmidt270 I don't know, the show always had a dreamy-eerie tone, like when Tony is sick in the boat episode.
KieranGunnOfficial only show that has managed to make a dream sequence actually feel like a dream. Bizarre shit like melfi turning into his mom or all his teeth falling randomly. In other shows, you cannot tell dream sequences apart until they tell you it’s a dream.
Gandolfini performance as Tony Soprano is considered by many as revolutionary and influential, some even saying that Gandolfini was the "Marlon Brando of Television", because like Brando, he redefine the concept of the man in conflict and masculinity, giving a sensibility so real and relatable, just like when Brando did A Streetcar Named Desire and Godfather.
Johnny Sack What an expected comment. It’s time for your wife’s mid afternoon feeding.
Well, he did use Brando as an influence on him for the role
Johnny Sack my estimation of you as a man just plummeted with that
@@SlipknotMachinehead Johnny is a pragmatist
That's a fair comparison,
Brando often gets stuck up on top of some unassailable acting pedestal of other ppls design,
which tragically was so painful for Brando himself to have to live with,
Thank you for making this. James Gandolfini is the only deceased actor that makes me feel like I’m watching a best friend I never nor will ever meet. God, do I miss this man.
This. I have the same feeling.
Settle down dude
Im so dissapointed he didnt do more interviews during the sopranos run.
I dated someone who was friends with him and he told me that he couldn't be more different from Tony Soprano. And that he was one of the kindest & most authentic people he knew. He was friends with a lot of celebrities but I never heard him speak about any of them the way he did Mr. Gandolfini. I cried watching this btw. Thank you for making it & may the late great Mr. Gandolfini R.I.P.
I agree ☝️ but how he did that roll was so authentic and natural. And he is Italian and he is from New Jersey lol I think he would of been a gangster in the 1970s l😮
I'm Italian American.
James Gandolfini is and always will be a God of Acting.
Rest easy, Jim.
I've seen the entire series at least 7 times. The acting, the writing, the music. It's literally the best TV show ever created!
I like watching The Drop after watch the series. Its like a Tony Soprano sequel if he were in Witsac...lol
@@adriancanestra6910 Is The Drop any good?
@@HOTD108_ If you're a fan of Hardy and Gandolfini, you'll love The Drop. I've bought digital copies twice. First one when it came out, comcast.. mistake. Lost my account. Then I bought it again a few years ago on Prime. It's literally my only digital film. Yeah, it's really good.
@@HOTD108_Amazing movie,and you can watch it a few times without getting bored.
The way that his Sopranos castmates talk about him to this day just proves how gentle and kind he was. Rest in Peace Jim.
Tony throwing a bowl of Honey Comb across the kitchen, warms my heart
Habahahah
one of my favorite scenes
Your just here to pick the frigging bones!!
Everything about the Sopranos, felt so real.
He was also a fantastic villain in “The Last Castle” with Robert Redford.
He was also good in 8mm.
....absolutely played the antagonist, Redford said he loved working with him.
He was also played a brilliant gangster in True Romance.
Yees
A criminally underrated movie.
One night in the late 90s my rich roommate ordered hbo..
back then hbo was a luxury.
The first thing I watched was the first episode on the first night of sopranos. Just by accident.
I watched the whole first season telling everyone I knew how amazing the show was.
Before the 2nd season started, I moved to Europe for a year.. when I got back season 3 was had just finished but I didn’t have hbo anymore. I was damn near homeless.
I join the air force and left sept 11 2001.
The next time I caught up to the sopranos, it was huge, it was the end season 6. And I was in Iraq.
I watched the whole season while I was there. And then rewatched it the next time I was sent back to Iraq.
My favorite show of all time. The show fell into my lap. And Helped me get through Iraq twice.
Dude, HBO is still a massive luxury....
I’ve seen The Sopranos from beginning to end atleast three times now. It’s the only show, besides Seinfeld (which I’ve seen probably more times than I can count), that I can do that with. James’s Death was a massive shock to me and seeing him in the show always feels bittersweet now.
It’s funny how Sopranos fans and Seinfeld fans intersect. I’ve seen sopranos at least 10 times start to finish. I have the dvds. I’ve also seen Seinfeld at least ten times start to finish. I have the dvds. They are two of the most influential shows of the last 40 years. It’s awesome that we have Enough Said to enjoy two great actors outside of the roles they are known for.
@@StromboliTastesGood Yeah my girlfriend's a fan of both, I just can't seem to get into "Seinfeld" not matter how much I try. Just not for me. "The Sopranos" is my favorite show though.
Zahi Farah love u
@@zfarahx same here, I never understood the Seinfeld phenomenon. Sopranos I've watched all seven seasons, literally to the point where I can recite it entirely. It's the only TV show I can do that with. I never get sick of it therefore it makes it the best Ever, in my opinion.
The wire is amazing too
Jim Gandolfini was just getting started. Amazing man and amazing talent.
Gandolfini was sublime as Tony Soprano. His portrayal was beyond measure and quiet possibly the greatest character expression in television history.
this and breaking bad
@@aeronautisch And Chuck, Jimmy and Kim in BCS.
Fully agree. I just finished the series for the first time. Amazing
While I think the wire is superior to the sopranos and Tony Soprano isn’t the best character ever put to screen, I agree that James Gandolfinis performance is the greatest performance ever put to screen on televisions by far
@@aeronautisch As incredible as Bryan Cranston's performance is, I'd say Gandolfini's is even better.
The credits at the end of Enough Said simply stated 'For Jim'. That choked me I can tell you. Wonderful wonderful film.
03:10 Wow, as a combat veteran, I really felt that quote. Gandolfini was an awesome guy that did a lot to shed light on PTSD and its effect on veterans.
Thanks for your service!
Tony Sirico and Him went to Iraq to support the troops
And was Mr.Gandolfini whole idea
What a great man ,miss him and I didn't even knew him
Apparently his son will be playing a young Tony Soprano in a “Sopranos” prequel. Pretty sick!
The many saints of Newark! Son looks just like him too
He is and ive seen the set photos and it looks incredible.
old news that my friend! keep up pal love from the UK
@mikedoesseo he is the main character
That's a terrible idea. It's a 1% chance that would work, that his son just happens to be as good of an actor as he is? No way. They should have massive auditions to find an actor that looks similar to a young James Gandolfini but has at least 80% the acting chops.
He was so great in "Enough Said." Funny, warm, and he could definitely play a sexy, leading man!
Terrific film
James Gandolfini in my mind is right up there with Bogart, Sellers, Mitchum and McQueen, etc, any role to give his best with a heart of gold and a magic, considerate soul.....R.I.P Jim.
He was also great on the TV movie remake of 12 Angry Men.
Holy cow i saw that first then the original. Which guy did he play?
Damn never knew there was a remake and had him in it, gotta watch it.
You are definitely right on that one!
Where can i catch it? Netflix?
@@mulawarmankwsuper Juror 6, apparently one of the more easygoing guys
Where The Wild Things Are is one of my favourite films of all time. It’s shockingly underrated, and is a must watch for everyone
Jim Gandolfini is one of the best actors this or any generation he is absolutely in that discussion. However, Gandolfini as Tony Soprano is hands down, bar none, the greatest character in the history of TV/Film.
"I know I'm late to the party"
Doesn't matter, brother. The party goes on forever. Welcome.
You'll enjoy it even more the next time around.
Gandolfini had the acting chops of Deniro but could pick his roles much better.
4 P spot on
Hardly fair now hes dead and his legacy is set. Long live De Niro
Glennandrews how’s that joke going so far?
@Johnny Sack shittin me. U ever seen Casino? Guess not.
Deniro is a terrible actor he only plays one character...
Jimmy Gandolfini deserves a rightful place in entertainment history as a class A actor! Incredible! God bless the man! R.I.P.
During quarantine I finally got around to watching The Sopranos for the 6th time.
It is, always will be, and always has been, the greatest TV show ever. The performances are honestly perfect. They don’t feel like performances at all. I forget these are actors every time I watch it
Where’s da gabagool?
Gabagool? Ova heeeeeah!
I miss James Gandolfini so much. He's definitely in heaven.
The guy was just a wonderful human being. The things I've heard said about him, who he was and what he was like by those who knew him well; fill me with a real warmth. I never thought I'd feel such a deep sense of loss over the passing of someone I never knew? And even after all these years since his death I'm still so upset about it. James Gandolfini would have been THE best actor from his generation, I'm certain of this! He was the GOVERNOR!! And I'll miss him forever man.
Sopranos is the greatest show of all time. Tony Soprano is the greatest character of all time and will live forever.
I just watched the entire seasons again this year, for the third time, I can never get tired of watching it Ganolfini was truly a great actor, shame he died so young
This video made me tear up... I also watched The Sopranos for the first time while in quarantine, and the whole cast just blew me away. But, James' performance had an authenticity unlike any other I have ever seen on TV, even more than Bryan Cranston's Walter White... The man, the actor, the characters. Never confuse them to be the same one. RIP, James.
I watched The Sopranos over this year...and I absolutely adore him. What an amazing actor.
I loved his role in “Not Fade Away”. It was his last collaboration with David Chase, and a role that actually mended the fractured relationship they had on “The Sopranos”.
This made me cry...Never met the guy but God I miss him.
I lived one town away from where James Gandolfini was born and raised. They named the street by the Ridge diner James Gandolfini way. I felt like a member of my family passed when he died. His wake was filled with stars as I drove past the day of it in Park Ridge,Nj. I can’t wait to meet him in heaven and tell him how much I adored all of his work. I have watched the Sopranos many many times and still love it like the first time. Rest in love beautiful James. You are truly missed by so many.
White caps, the argument with tony and Carmella is a classic.
Pine Barrens.....,best Sopranos episode.!!
@mikedoesseo ...yes , that's in the top 5 .
Just finished watching The Sopranos series today. Didn't realize it had ended that long ago........ amazing characters.
I grew up with sopranos and still keep watching it..Couldnt find any other series as good as this
I watch it all the way through about once every 2-3 years. It's aging like fine wine.
He was also great in "Welcome to the Riley's" with Kristen Stewart and Melissa Leo. Very underrated film by Ridley Scott's son, Jake Scott.
I almost feel unworthy to see such a level of performance by this legendary actor
Alright, take it easy
I really saw him for the first time in "Enough Said" even though I've always wanted to watch the Sopranos. He had me hooked with his acting in just that movie and when I watched the Sopranos, my mind was blown, which also made his untimely passing even more bitter for me at the time as everyone said he was such a nice guy and had great acting abilities.
Like the recently deceased Chadwick Boseman and also like James Dean, Gandofini died at a relatively young age for an actor. They all had memorable roles and were poised to do greater things if not for their untimely deaths.
Who the F is Chadwick Boseman compared to James Gandofini? Literally a nobody lol
@@Luigix99xThat's quite rude. Chadwick Boseman was a talented actor, and while he wasn't on the same level as James Gandolifini he was skilled and did great in his career (not just as Black Panther, too. Even though he was the best thing about the BP movie).
Don't forget Philip Seymour Hoffman.
It's sad when they go young like that
I remember him in Crimson Tide even though he had very little screen time. Great film.
An icon taken from us too soon. Thank you, James. RIP 🙏
I was not ready for that. I was tearing up watching this. ❤
I just finished watching The Sopranos in it’s entirety for the first time too. That’s how I came across your video. Such a fantastic show!!
Gandolfini and Louis-Dreyfus acting side-by-side is amazing! And they are both know for completely differing styles to these roles.
The intro of this video is a true tribute to Jim. Like he's literally the only actor you wanna hear just breathing
I was lucky enough to have spent three days with Jimmy on a commercial, I was serving the food to the production crew but we had some good conversations and I have a great picture with him, he was more than memorable RIP brother
I remenber watching the sopranos with my father on our vhs at 5:00 am
I remember that day in June 2013 when I heard he had passed and my stomach actually hurt. Jim is one of those people I considered invincible, he never should have died at 51. A humble, generous, and kind man not to mention an incredible actor. May he RIP.
I just started to watch Sopranos in this lockdown! And i agree with Bryan Cranston, there is no Walter White without Tony Soprano!
RIP T :')
We MISS YOU EVERYDAY!!
REST IN PACE MY FRIEND 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
True Romance is an amazing film.
Agree! The list of actors/actresses in that movie is Fing insane...
@mikedoesseo You're an eggplant.
Agree..very underrated film
Wow man, the opening line... same here! I FINALLY watched it because of the quarantine and wow it definitely met and even exceeded the hype! Such a unique performance by Gandolfini, I feel like I could rewatch it again already.
Wow, what a great video. It still breaks my heart knowing Jim is gone. He will go down as one of the best actors ever, who was on the greatest show in TV history.
It blew my mind hearing him speak without the accent? He's also so polite and kind, nothing like the Tony role he played. Wow he was an Amazing actor No Doubt.
Sopranos will forever be out there as this most unique piece of art television was ever able to create.
There will never be the kind oportunities they had in the late nineties before the internet took over, to create characters with so much depth, this kind of long meandering storytelling and even the visual style will forever be unmatched.
Sopranos is the one thing i'm trying to stay away from to happily come back to in a couple of decades later, to relive it again.
What about the last castle? He’s was amazing in that too. R.i.p Mr Gandolfini. We miss you.
Did the same thing during lockdown although mine was a re-watch after about a decade. Still one of the best TV shows ever. The magic was always between Jim and Edie though. Their chemistry was spellbindingly good especially the scene where she wants him to leave and he won't
This is so well written and edited. Video essays are my guilty pleasures and this is one of the best.
Man do I miss this guy you just know we lost someone special when he left us .
Even though it's just a vocal performance I think his role in Where The Wild Things Are is amazingly well done.
I did a binge on some of his movies after I finished Sopranos, because I missed him (although he was still alive).
Jimmy had gone to italy to spend time with his son away from the drugs/coke , I'm so happy he was clean from narcotics when he passed , as an addict myself of similar age its a constant struggle/cycle of on/off the drugs , he was a decent man a great human.🙏🤠🇬🇧
This is a great look into what made James Gandolfini great. Thank you for this. He is sorely missed 😢
Gandolfini singing with a tiny moustache is a trip!
Great video!. Thanks!
What an incredible look into James’ work, and a video that commemorates his talents so well.
Yup I watched the series for the first time during the pandemic…and about 10 times since 😂. Best show ever!
Man I watch Sopranos clips almost every day and I discover more and more layers within the show. Gandolfinis performance is just on another level, not that the remainder of the cast are slouches either.
I remember watching the episode of the dream sequence when he’s in a coma. It was so bizarre hearing him talk without the heavy accent. Made me feel like I was in a dream. Really trippy.
There is not one person that has spoken a bad word about him. He fascinates 10 years after his death and will forever be a legend on screen and in life.
I miss tony soprano so much he was a fabulous actor i cryed like a baby wen we lost him very sad my he rest in peace❤❤❤❤
That is so crazy seeing him act in the student film!! You can ever hear the slightest bit of Tony in there somewhere, but you would NEVER know what his future held!
I remember reading William Friedkin’s autobiography, he talked about casting James in his TV version of “Twelve Angry Men.” Apparently he was terrific to work with, but was nervous to be acting alongside George C. Scott and Jack Lemmon!
To me he will always be Tony Soprano, James Gandolfini was a character he played on interviews
James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano is the greatest body of work by any actor ever. Miss ya Skip
I remember seeing the first episode of The Sopranos in college and loved it. Years later, the show became the first show where my friends and I would get together every Sunday night just to watch it. So jealous of anybody who has not yet seen it and has that whole fantastic series to watch with fresh eyes. RIP James. You were a major part of my life in my twenties, even though I never knew you
He stole "The Mexican". The whole movie is great, but he was the best thing about it.
really great movie
Uhhhh steal a better movie
Really great coverage of the subject, and something I've always been curious about. Gandolfini outside of Sopranos. Thank you!!
The end almost made me cry man great job
I am envious. Being my favorite show of all time, I would give so much to be able to forget all I know about The Sopranos.. just so I could re-experience that first watch-through. But then again, even after having watched the series as many times as I have, it only gets better with every subsequent viewing. Whether it's your second watch or your fifteenth, there is *_always_* something new to pick up on that you didn't catch the time before.
Watch it again next year. This is the kind of show where subtle hints and Easter eggs are dropped, and you just can't find them on the first viewing. I watched Breaking Bad multiple times as well, and it feels like every time I see it, I notice a new thing.
Even with anime, Attack on Titan. There's so many things to discover during a second third or even fourth viewing.
This is one of very few videos where my emotions got the better of me. A legend that passed on way to soon. Gone but never forgotten. Love you James G.
Thank you for taking the time to produce this mini documentary... He was an amazingly talented man...
James Gandolfini is a Legend! Rest In Paradise King 👑 🇮🇹
You didn't mention his performance alongside of tom hardy in The Drop. Awesome movie. Phenomenal Actor James is an Absolute Legend!
How convenient. I've also been doing the exact same thing; binging this series.
That was a lovely tribute. Thank you for making it!
