“Life goes on. A simple and perfect ending.”
That’s the beauty of the finale. There were four possible endings: 1) Tony gets killed 2) Tony goes to prison 3) tony flips and 4) Life goes on. this finale leaves open the possibility of all four. Pick the one you want. At first i thought it was “life goes on” but after the “you never hear it coming” conversation between tony and Bobby, I think that was the ending. Regardless, Chase’s writing and direction was simply brilliant with all the imagery and innuendo during the final scenes.
I don’t think they do a movie. this ending will be discussed for a very long time. A movie to tie it all up in a pretty bow will ruin it.
Sopranos was and is a classic. I’ll miss Silvio (great hair)...
I agree with the posts that like the ending. I watched the black screen. I watched the credits, just in case it dove back in and something happened. I didn’t like the ending at first; I wanted closure. But the more time goes by, the more I like the ending and think it’s “realistic.” Tony flipping doesn’t make sense given what we know about Tony. Tony dying doesn’t make sense with Leotardo out of the way. Tony getting indicted makes perfect sense, but is anti-climactic and is clearly in the works anyway, he will get his in the end . . . so . . . life goes on, smaller, with most of his “friends” and crew dead, mad, or dying, and his son working for a porn producer and his daughter getting into law because of the things she’s seen . . . no one is left uncorrupted. Screen to black. It grows on you.
