Honestly, I really didn't appreciate it the first time I saw it until I read this guy's blog post about it that does a good job of analyzing everything in this scene: https://masterofsopranos.wordpress.com/the-sopranos-definitive-explanation-of-the-end/

Reaching this scene on my second viewing was like a roller-coaster. The entire show was actually better for me the second time I watched it.

People who say Tony didn't die are wrong, the writers made it clear for people who were paying attention.

Why can't stupid people into ambiguity? The ending is great because it's both symbolic of death (Tony's, the show's) and the opposite: lack of closure to subvert TV cliches, an endless life of ambiguity (paranoia for Tony, discussions for the audience); using cinematic techniques to create tension despite all the elements on-screen being ordinary and there being no proof of a criminal element. It's an American family having dinner, but there's something wrong going on, something fucked up lurking around: this is what The Sopranos had been about (social commentary on contemporary American families and values) during its entire run, it was never "just" about gangsters killing each other.

It might have been ambiguous if there was a fade to black and credits, but not with the sudden cut of sound and image at that moment. The directing was too good for you pseuds to shit on it with your theories of ambiguity.

>>
>>80123994
ignore him he literally derails every Sopranos thread
>>
>>80122795
Just started reading it and while what this guy wrote makes sense the scene itself isn't executed how he describes it. For example, those "pov shots" are not really pov shots save for the first one: we get a close up of the door every time and unless tony is looking through a binocular that wasn't a pov. Also for some reason we are shown twice as the guy who allegedly kills tony walks in, as in it wasn't "looking at tony - bell rings - looking at the door", it was more like "looking at the door, bell rings - looking at tony - looking at the door".

Also if a claim that showrunner wanted the blackness to last until the next stuff begins without showing the credits really shows that he wasn't really doing a subtle thing, more like in your face thing, there was no ambiguity in his mind so why the fuck didn't he outright say afterwards that tony is dead? I mean sure, he ended up creating a great thing but if it wasn't really in his plans to leave stuff to interpretation than he is simply stroking his dick with making the "greatest show ending of all time" even though it wasn't his plan. I mean there is nothing wrong with riding the wave but it somehow lacks humility, dunno.

Okay, after reading

“Tony was dealing in mortality every day. He was dishing out life and death. And he was not happy. He was getting everything he wanted, that guy, but he wasn’t happy. All I wanted to do was present the idea of how short life is and how precious it is. The only way I felt I could do that was to rip it away.”

Why Chase insists on keeping in slightly ambiguous makes sense, there is definitely a power in "ripping it away".
