I know this isn't a movie but I thought I would mention it here: I am a big fan of the tv show The Sopranos, about a Mafia family. It's definately the greatest Tv Series ever made IMO.
I thought the final scene was excellent:
Tony meets his family for dinner at a local diner, arriving first. Carmela arrives second and Tony verifies that Carlo Gervasi is going to testify against him and the DiMeo Family. A.J. then arrives and the three Sopranos talk for a while. A man, who has been intermittently staring at Tony as he sits there, gets up from the diner's counter and glances at Tony as he heads to and enters the bathroom. As Meadow enters the restaurant, Tony looks up and the screen smash cuts to black and silence. After ten seconds, the credits roll silently.
Earlier in the series Tony and his mate were talking about what it would be liked to get 'whacked' in the Mafia style (in the mafia when someone is killed they are usually always shot in the side of the head and they don't see it coming) and the mate said 'you probably wouldn't even hear the bullet'. Anyway it is pretty clear in this final scene that Tony is shot by the man who entered the bathroom, and it shows it from his point of view; no bang from the gun, no screaming, no mess - just black. One minute he's sitting eating with his family and then BLACK.
I thought it was really well done, and it caused a lot of controversey and speculation about what happened. Heres the scene:

Your right Cactus, Sopranos was a great series!
And the ending was perfect. |
