With how fantastic every flashback scene was in The Sopranos, I feel like it really, really shouldn't have been too hard to make a movie about the glory days of the Dimeo crime family.
Christ even if you need it to be about Tony just have it be him and Jackie getting up to a bunch of stunts

    It wouldn't have been too hard, but Chase wanted to make a movie about the riots but couldn't have gotten it greenlit unless he threw some sopranoslop in it.

      That explains why all the Sopranos stuff is so insulting, but it's weird how absent most of the riot stuff is

      There's literally about fifteen minutes of a two-hour movie about riots.

    You're missing the whole point of the flashback scenes. It's suppose to show that these people were never great, not even in the 50s. They were low IQ viilent psychopaths back then, they're psychopaths now. It shows that the glorification of the old days in the mob was a lie made from american mob movies from back in the day. It's all just a lie just like the american dream

      You got the vector right, but you took too much. It's primarily about Tony praising the "old days", how his father was cool, the old mobsters (this guy is a fricking legend) and all that, when in fact it was all the same shit then and now.

      They even did a scene that there was already a flashback for in the show (carnival bust) and they still fricked it, changed who was there, changed what happened, changed what characters were wearing. They didn't give a frick

      The flashbacks were memories from Tony's life that defined who he became. He didn't think it was "cool" that his dad took Janice to the carnival and not him, he was recalling a hurtful memory.

        That said, that was the only somewhat clever scene in the whole movie. It was too clever for an otherwise terrible movie. The idea of showing the actual event and the differences to Tony's honest recollection. A very clever commentary on eyewitness accounts and memory in general.

          The movie itself starts as being narrated by Chris. So if you're gonna claim the show's flashbacks were just flawed memories, the movie has even less credibility since a literal ghost told the story.

            The movie was fricking shit. I'm just saying they were trying to be too clever with that carnival scene.

              I see now. I did have a passing thought that maybe they changed it to make a statement about memories vs reality. But I didn't have that thought long, it's not realistic. They fricked up a lot of things outside of that scene. They contradicted several points of history established in the show, which could not be simple misremembering on the part of the characters. It makes no sense that, in this one instance, they make an amazingly subtle commentary that is absent from the rest of the movie. There is no meaning, they just fricked it up like the other things.

          Very generous of you to assume that was their intentions.

    Honestly it baffles me how good the casting for the flashback scenes in the show were and then they completely botch it with Many Saints where nobody feels like they're the characters they're meant to be playing outside of I guess Livia and Tony, but I still think the actresses they got for Livia in the show were better.

      They were perfect. The problem with the movie is that the studio would have wanted known actors. Fricking abysmal casting choices.

    Prequels always suck. A question needs to be asked prior to writing any story and that is, "does this story need to be told?" 9/10 times a prequel is going to fall into the "no" category.

    We didn't need to see Tony Soprano as a teenager, just like we didn't need to see Darth Vader as a boy. These are stories borne out of capitalist impulse rather than out of artistic inspiration. Literally soulless.

          George made what he wanted to. They're special movies who's like we'll never see again. They're discussed daily over 20 years later. Regardless of whether you love them or hate them, they're probably the most significant art of our times.

    The flashback scenes were easily the worst part of the show.

      not even out of curiosity. It won't satisfy that itch. It's not even in the same tone or style, it literally could have been about anything else. The worst part? It's a setup for a black series.

        Remember when Tony and Silvio recalled peeking at the executive game before Junior chased them away? Does that mean Silvio was like 25 and playing mischief with a 13 year old Tony?
