If you weren't keeping up with the series when it was on, The Sopranos is one of your top must see tv and movie downloads. It's too bad to miss out on the fun of watching a show as it's going, as they actually had betting pools and who would get whacked, but better late than never.
The Sopranos isn't just a show about gangsters, it's a show about family, about the unpredictability of life, and most importantly, about the experience of being a human being in a world that throws you nothing but curveballs. The gangster trappings are only the backdrop of the show. The real focus is on Tony and his family and friends, and how they are affected by the life they've chosen.
Unlike the majority of the stories about gangsters, it's really not about the crime stuff at all. Obviously that's a big part of it, but it's not about these people as gangsters, it's about these gangsters as people. Everything that happens to these guys has, at one point or other, in some other form, happened to every one watching it. We've been betrayed and hurt and abandoned and loved, all of us.
Each season only brings more problems for the characters, just as every year brings more responsibilities into your lap.
The ending is really incredible. Some fans felt ripped off, but those people are missing the point. The Sopranos is not about easy answers, it's about the difficulty of life, how confusing and unpredictable it is. The ending actually doesn't carry any secret meaning at all. That cut to black doesn't mean Tony was whacked, it doesn't mean anything except that the show is over. Life keeps going, even with all the fears and worries we have to deal with, there's no finish line, no easy, climactic ending for anyone.
The Sopranos made some incredible innovations in television. After the reality TV boom, people didn't want the canned, predictable stuff of fictional TV anymore. David Chase came up with a show that mixed the storytelling of fictional TV with the unpredictability and realism of reality TV. This set the trend for LOST, House M. D. And The Shield, blending the best of both schools of television and creating a whole new style of storytelling.
Don't go nuts trying to make sense of everything. The show is full of unanswered questions, and just as in life, you'll never figure it all out.
The moral to the story is simply that life is hard to figure out. It goes on and on and you never really cross a finish line, nothing ever happens that solves all problems once and for good. It's difficult, confusing and frustrating, and all anyone can do is just go from day to day trying to make the most of what time they have on this world. That's really all there is to it, and looking for any deeper meaning in the show... You won't find it, and that's why it's so true to life and, really, deeply meaningful in its meaninglessness. - 38505
