Just got this in an email. Sounds pretty accurate to me if all the supporting factors are true.



He was killed....

in fact, the ending was genius if you've paid attention to the show or
are just a fan of well developed well thought out plots that all tie
together and have the memory of a champ to remember it all

the ending was simple, he got killed, but let me tell yall why and
explain in detail... There was 3 people in the room total who had a
reason to kill tony.....

the two black guys, they were paid before to kill tony but he was only
shot in the ear, this was in one of the earlier seasons,

also in the earlier seasons, the trucker who was sitting at the bar
stool, who the camera kept focusing in on, is Nikki leotardo, Phil
Leotardos nephew, he was in one of the early season episodes where Phil
and Tony have a sit down....

heres where the genius comes in....

When tonys walking in the diner,you see the camera focus on him, then
it switches to his perspective, and you see him looking @ the booth hes
gonna sit at...

then the camera switches back to tonys face, then it once again
switches to his perspective, and it shows him looking @ the door and
looking @ the people come in..... Everytime the door opens the Chimes
sound....... Carmela walks in, Chimes, AJ walks in Chimes, this when
Meadows parallel parking, still trying to get inside the restaurant....

at this point the camera switches back to the trucker who goes in the
bathroom......

Then it goes to a scene where meadow finally parks and starts running
in the diner....

the doors about to open, Tony looks up....

and No Chimes......................

No Music............

Everything just goes black...............

In one of the early episodes of the sopranos, tonys talking with bobby
about what it must feel like to die..

Bobby says "at the end, you probably dont hear anything, everything
just goes black"


part of that was revisited in the second to last episode during the
last seconds of it, when tonys about to go to sleep and he flashes back
to the memory of him and bobby on the boat... "You probably dont hear
anything everything just goes black"


so in the end, the Journey song was playing, the chimes on the door
sounded but when meadow came in, the guy in the trucker hat came out and
killed tony...

its the reason you don't hear, or see anything when he died.... it was from
his perspective.... and everything went black, then the credits rolled.

So why is the episode called "Made in America"?

[shragon]

the email is a little mixed up, they made the trucker and nikki leotardo into one person, lol. they're two separate people.

see the other thread.

It was supposed to be vague on purpose, after all the years how can you end such a successful series and yet still have some kind of surprise left for your audience?

[iatacs19]

This was the end of the series, there will be no more.

Seems like yesterday's thoughts were all a hoax.

Thanks for the link. Its annoying when a director won't explain his art, but let's face it, the ambiguity was deliberate - and leaves the door open for sequels/movies when he needs another payday.

I still think they will make a movie in a couple of years.
