It’s amazing how many people didn’t understand the blank screen ending. The key metaphor is in the opening scene: Tony sleeping with organ music playing like at a funeral, then suddenly he wakes up. Tony has been dead all-along but comes to life through his physical death. His transcendent self lives on through AJ’s enduring existential struggle, which ultimately manifests as a struggle for humanity (AJ’s decision to join the military). The Father lives through the Son — The Second Coming — “And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?”

A Sopranos movie???? No need, “the movie goes on and on and on” . . . .

I’m not sure what you mean when you say that Tony is dead? David Chase has said that the ending is in no way meant to be dissected and speculated about and that no, Tony was not killed in the finale. Now, I realize that the ending was very ambiguous, despite what Chase has said about it. Fans will always make their own conclusion, it is their right and to a point, their duty as involved viewers. I guess all I am getting at is that we were not witness to the death of Tony Soprano, so whether fans agree or not, we may yet see a big screen Sopranos tale. As a big fan of the show, I don’t think there should be a film. It was naturally such a sprawling series and to confine it to two hours would be awkward.

leave it alone. It is an amazing show and should stay as a show. No way a hour and a half film or even 2 hour film could work becuase there is just too much content for a movie to be made. Would not work

As much as I would love to see more Sopranos, I say no and leave it alone.

David Chase more or less got the conclusion of the Soprano’s that he wanted and IMO you can’t have a Soprano’s movie without Tony and Tony is dead.

The ending wasn’t ambiguous as some make it out to be. Chase didn’t just say here’s the answer you actually have to put 1 and 1 together to come to the answer. You experience the ending instead of being told to you.

So NO Tony, NO Film.

I personally loved the way the show ended. Its any way I want it.
I also wish the program went on, as I still think it had a lot of juice in it creatively. A movie would be nice also but many key characters were killed off, so it may not be the same. Overall, one of the 5 greatest programs ever produced!

As an avid Soprano’s fan I disagree doug. I think the fan’s deserve a Feature film. I had never watched the show so intensely then the last season, and for the build to be such a let down, broke my gangster heart. I felt cheated and upset. So David Chase should finish with a movie, and give the fans what they want. I mean JESUS CHRIST SEX AND THE CITY GOT A MOVIE!!!!
