Great write up, looking forward to the next one. You could say it’s AJ growing up rich but how tough was Tony when he was younger really? Nope, it was 8000.00.

( Log Out /  (And similarly, it was the work of Islamic fundamentalists that put Turkey in last place.) You could look at it as Carradine, an American, immersing himself in Eastern themes which could refer to Tony basically doing the same (although the movie plot is sort of the opposite: Caine was raised as a Shaolin monk and travels across America). But let me get back to the episode now. With James Gandolfini, Lorraine Bracco, Edie Falco, Michael Imperioli. (Perhaps even more so in this case because Paulie doesn’t have a wife or children, only his mother.) He even asks Paulie to “make sure he understands his obligation.” Perhaps Paulie is doing more than was implied by Tony by asking for the monthly cost of his mother’s funeral home, but I think “Don’t tell Tony” is a more of a “Don’t you dare fucking bother him with this shit” response. ‘Vanitas vanitatum, et Omnia vanitas,’ says the preacher. Thanks Andy. As the great mythologist Joseph Campbell noted, Eastern thought-systems generally place a great emphasis on harmony and perpetually attempt to bring all things into accord. Carmela’s angst comes from guilt and from being always in the same place. Instead, Orch-Orr theory asserts that consciousness is an intrinsic characteristic of the action of a non-computable universe.

The Pink Floyd song evokes an entirely different world. Bob, wielding a creepy smile, asserts that one cannot both believe in evolution and be saved from damnation. Can Paul fit into his hitherto unknown family relationships? But Chase resists such simple answers. As Tony comes out of his subconscious fantasy into the real world, Paulie goes deep into his.

I feel like I can keep reading your posts all day long. Reply; 1 vote. How the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw cares away. In fact, one of my favorite things about this episode is how it seems to endorse the idea that there is room in this world for varying viewpoints, and that dogmatic positions that insist otherwise are just plain silly. Religious radicals, not surprisingly, find evolution to be a threat because it undermines their radical beliefs. (I feel proud that I can understand all the Sanskrit words without reading your explanation of them, due to our contemporary language being derived from Sanskrit itself. How did I miss the Schrödinger reference? He then loses his voice. What do I give a fuck?Tony:  That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Tony seems to be trying to find something to hang on to instead of sinking back to his nihilistic ways of thinking.. At the same time he’s keeping an open mind here while discussing different philosophies. But Pastor Bob certainly is, and that’s the reason why he is so averse to the theory of evolution. We are then presented with three situations where there is an attempt to keep things compartmentalized and disconnected. The Sopranos "The Blue Comet"- ...

However, if we don’t perceive this, we understand ourselves to be distinctive and separate from everything else. Made it clear that Tony’s conscious is gonna have no easy outs from the temptations of Earthly things (mafia things) that’ve been hammered in ceaselessly. The series has previously suggested these characters find it hard to change, Tony drags them back in or characters go back to old patterns, so if the pastor is wrong on the metaphorical level then the characters are damned. And ofc if the mafia is a metaphor for something wider (modern American society, say), then that would we’re connected to it in terms of participating in it’s negative effects and/or being effect by it. Change ), Tony is discharged from the hospital, but not before he meets a scientist.

Then the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above (I think “definitive interpretations” have the effect of a solvent, dissolving all the magic and mystery out of a work of art. From what I understand, particles within a quantum system have certain properties—like location—which we cannot predict with any real certainty, but we can use Schrodinger’s Equation to express their most probable locations within a wave of probability. And my mind thinks about the bell ringing over the door in that final scene. The mother-child connection is arguably the most profound connection that exists in the human experience, and so it quite understandable that Paulie would feel bitter right now. UNFORTUNATE SONSThis hour has more than its fair share of unfortunate sons. As I mention above, Chase may be using shaolin Buddhist Kawi Chang Caine to bridge the Buddhist philosophy found in the previous hour with John Schwinn’s metaphysics in this hour.. The last three episodes were very Buddhistic. A good way to sum it up would be “All’s fair,” and it’s certainly all relative and connected…. 6.5 - Vito checks into a motel. I’ll close by saying that there are plenty of parallels between the Nixon (or any) White House, the mob in Soprano World, and the FBI in both real life and in Soprano World. The drums finally jump in, increasing the frenzy. The three Normen do NOT schematically represent the past, the present and the future, as one tends to believe.

I almost took a heart attack when I heard Meadow read this line, because of a particular term that it contains. Others, at the end, were so small, that one had to think of pint and gill measures. ° I’d have to run the episode back for any keen insight on this, but I noticed that after Paulie got balls kicked in, there were like 5-7 seemingly-intentional crotch shots (most notably on Paulie himself, Tony, and Dottie). rooting for truffles, and you do not disappoint. Yes when Paulie had the sit down with Tony, Silvio and Ralphie. It is $4000. In the episode “The Great Mushroom,” which appeared in the sixth and final season of that series, Joel expresses a sentiment to his friend Maggie which sounds a lot like John Schwinn’s theory. I check everyday for updates, happy you are still at it! The sound of wind fills the air. There is no good reason for him to feel this way, but he has always been a simplistic man, a man of simple rules and easy conclusions. Show 11 - Tennessee Firebird. I interpreted the line about fathers and bridges as a reference to the destiny of the soprano men. Tony recalls the Ojibwe proverb, trying to convince his friend that he is part of something bigger.

Her long ago pregnancy and her being Paulie’s Mom was also under wraps all these years, until she exposes it on her deathbed. Building on your idea about evolution and salvation… For me, I’ve never come across a conception of the Afterlife that wasn’t full of paradoxes and problems, and so I find it very appealing to think that maybe we can achieve some kind of salvation by evolving at a personal level and changing for the better.. It’s really excellent. Like a lot of people, its out of his comfort zone, which is why he goes back to his old ways. When Tony tries to hang on to the briefcase before he wakes up from the coma, the man who appears as Tony B tells him “you need to let go”. And a Schwinn is a bike which is a vehicle meaning John is showing Mr Soprano the part to enlightenment. Sunyata is simply the absence of intrinsic essence, and the recognition of this absence is the beginning of wisdom, compassion and trust.

Duality vs. singularity. Tell me if that is not the zenith of connectivity. The first shot is the monster mask on the dummy at the diving store where Paulie goes to get his Aunt/Mother’s slippers. ... (just like the bells of Holsten’s). Christianity, on the other hand, is a religion built upon dualisms: good vs. evil, God vs. Satan, God vs. man, man vs. woman, man vs. nature, earth vs. heaven, heaven vs. hell, body vs. soul, life vs. afterlife. But as he does so, the audio signal through which we hear him catches some static. . Have you thought about writing posts about other series after The Sopranos is done? Woody Allen is still one of my favorite directors. How about a MadMenautopsy? What do you think? Perhaps also notable, “The Three Bells” contains a line about pine trees. 50's #1 Hits. I became more and more convinced that a dark philosophy would dominate SopranoWorld all the way through its final hour, a philosophy that was most clearly articulated by Livia in “D-Girl” (2.07): Why does everything have to have a purpose? The quantum information in microtubules is not destroyed, it can not be destroyed; it is simply distributed and dispelled by the universe. Leaving us hanging. (Tony first calls her a “sick cunt” and then a “bird of prey.”)  The universe is even more callous and cold. “If the history of the Earth was represented by the Empire State Building,” Tony’s dinosaur book tells us, “human existence would only be a postage stamp at the very top”—the immensity of Time seems to render our very existence into something trivial. Its tempting, of course, to indulge in certainty; there is nothing more effective at alleviating our existential confusion and anxieties. That is to say that, in understandable terms, the soul doesn’t die, but returns to the universe: “the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing, the microtubules lose their quantum state. I could be wrong, and it was said in another episode, but I do remember making the connection between that and what he tells Jason Barone he has to kick up. 6.5 - Vito checks into a motel. named Russ who knocked her up during WWII. It’s like my whole life is a joke, a big fuckin joke on me.”  Some viewers have speculated that Paulie’s dad might be blowhard Russ Fegoli who appeared at Hugh’s birthday party in “Marco Polo” (where I believe he mentions he served in WWII). In the final scene of the series, Tony hears the bell on the door of the restaurant & looks up before cutting to black. All living thing are connected by common ancestors, and perhaps even linked by one common ancestor. The Sopranos: The Browns song “The Three Bells” received new attention when it appeared on two episodes of the HBO show “The Sopranos” during the series final season. The Sopranos is stocked with characters that would prefer the latter choice, and Chase now adds two more to their number. The Third “Bell”, or verse, dealing with death, is missing. But if Chase does mean for the episode title to carry some of the metaphorical weight that I’m suggesting, then the fleshy parts of Marvin’s and Jason’s thighs may indeed be underscoring the use of “soft tissue” as a symbol of connection. Once when Paulie and Patsy walk up to Jason Barone at the docks. Partly because of Schwinn being silenced afterwards. The Three Bells. ( Log Out /  She was a woman before she was a nun and the sexuality that was there was covered for all the years after she gave birth. Tony improves his personal security and Vito's secret double life is exposed. That wasn't The … I am sure that many viewers will not agree with how I’ve unpacked this hour. When Paulie gives the shoes to his Aunt/Mother, the nun says that they are too small, perhaps evoking Cinderella. There are no departures, no breaks, no disruptions. I don’t believe everything is connected. “The Fleshy Part of the Thigh” is one of my favorite episodes, it is truly a keystone hour in my understanding of the series. The Browns' male vocalist, Jim Ed Brown, coincidentally had the same name as the song's character. Johnny Sack is granted permission to attend his daughter's wedding. So arguably the interconnection is coming out in a negative way here. He occasionally says yes to things he might have fought harder against previously, he is briefly mellowed, but he also wields his condition like a weapon. And Marina Mescheriakova is a name to watch among the burgeoning ranks of new bel canto Russian sopranos she produces some wonderfully heartfelt and tender sounds in the second movement.There is strong competition from the listed comparisons. Gotta say this is my favourite episode and you did it justice. We see manipulation/lying from all of them. Lyrics to "The Three Bells" by THE BROWNS: [Originally a French tune written in 1945] / [Original French words by Bert Reisfeld] / [Music by Jean Villard] / [English words added by Dick Manning] / There's a village hidden deep in the valley / Among the pine trees half forlorn / … But now, early in Season 6, it’s become a question so huge and complex that I can’t answer it satisfactorily. I love Bart Simpson’s version of the diagram: Wind is another major motif in The Sopranos. I’m watching this episode right now and just noticed something. Early in the hour, Pastor Bob seems to be a kind-hearted and thoughtful minister. Chase silences Schwinn with a laryngectomy by the end of the hour (a reminder of the cold, cruel nature of the universe). (“What, like The Flintstones?” wonders Tony.) (And the song ends with the sound of wind again before seguing into the next track, “A Pillow of Winds.”)  The wind-motif is so important to Chase that he chose a song here that has the sound of wind incorporated right into the track. Sorry for my English. I had open heart surgery myself and when I got out, the glow of being grateful I was alive did last awhile, but speaking from personal experience, if I am truly honest with myself, I was acting like I was before the surgery, but I felt like I was doing so much different, better, because I was so grateful. Bells, Duality, Metaphysics, schrodingers Cat Oh my! We are not told exactly what the apology was for, but we can guess that it was because earlier this season Carm had screamed that he is a cross for her to bear. Everything is everything, and I think you touched upon a little bit of everything in that comment . The Three Bells 6.4 - Paulie and Patsy see Jason at the dock. Instead, it tells us that there. And of course, everything you already said about the rapper and Barone. I think you were onto something. Tony is slowly recuperating after coming out of his coma. 68. People let you down…In the end, you die in your own arms…It’s all a big nothing. When we’re stripped of all our worldly possessions and our fame and family and friends, we all face death alone. I thought it might be some sort of reference to the relationship between Johnny Boy and Tony, or between Tony and AJ, but ultimately I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t too much of a reach. The song documents three stages of the life of "Jimmy Brown"—his birth, his marriage, and his death. Psychoanalysts have said a lot about Cinderella’s shoe. Rats!! What I find more interesting about the song, however, is how it almost seems to work in conjunction with “The Three Bells” (the only other non-diegetic song in this hour) to together represent that simplistic, black & white view of the world that Chase seems to criticize in this hour. But those seem like more relatable, universally human problems that are tempered by all the many reports of his kindness and generosity. Until now there was a certain scientific consensus in considering that consciousness emerged as a property of biological organisms during EVOLUTION. And Hal Holbrook is just frickin’ fantastic as “John Schwinn.”. Our society is relentlessly cold—the insurance company’s representative at the hospital, for example, is as callous as a mobster. The Three Bells 6.4 - Paulie and Patsy see Jason at the dock. About three months after “Fleshy Part” originally aired, the journal Science published the disturbing findings of a recent study on the subject. (And when his eyes linger on Meadow at the hospital, I thought to myself, “He really doesn’t know who Meadow Soprano is either.”  I think he would be less equipped to handle her self-deception than even poor Finn is.) ( Log Out /  Historically, Eastern religions and philosophies like Buddhism have been more friendly than Christianity to the idea that all things are interconnected. The “circle jerk of life” as he referred to it. But I believe that a philosophy of connectivity and integration, like the one expressed by Schwinn, will continue to undergird, This hour has more than its fair share of unfortunate sons. “Truth be told, there’s plenty of garbage for everybody,” Tony concedes to Phil. I actually had a screengrab of Holbrook as Deep Throat ready to go here, but left it out because I didn’t want to complicate an already complicated write-up even further. I think Tony’s placid concession causes Phil to lose some respect for him, and it may contribute to the adversarial stance that Phil takes toward Tony throughout the rest of season 6. “Fleshy Part” is the first episode that the duo wrote for The Sopranos, and they became significant contributors to Chase’s mobster drama in its final season. The one that stands out the most is the song that plays after Vito is first seen in the gay bar and goes into hiding. My joy at being alive blinded me to some of my self-awareness but enough time is always there to remind you of the fucking regularness of life. Paulie learns that his mother is actually a nun and his father is some G.I. The Hits 1959. When Schwinn makes his case in Da Lux’s room, this episode gets really interesting for me, because his philosophy is so contrary to the prevailing tenor of the series. I think that film was him dealing with his shortcomings as a man and how he has treated women. Perhaps Chase is leading us to make an association between these lyrics and Tony’s “rebirth,” the idea that Tony has come back in the world with a new attitude after a long duel with death. An organ provides dramatic flourishes. But, following a pattern that the Soprano parents have been stuck in for years, Carmela gives her son a pass. The Magic Flute (German: Die Zauberflöte, pronounced [ˈdiː ˈt͡saʊ̯bɐˌfløːtə] (listen)), K. 620, is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder.The work is in the form of a Singspiel, a popular form during the time it was written that included both singing and spoken dialogue. Brown had his first solo hit in 1965 with "I Heard From a Memory Last Night," last scoring with "Pop a Top," "Morning" and "Angel's Sunday," among others. Jim Ed Brown was the lead singer for the group and, as far as I know, they didn't ever have anything else as popular as that song was. But the fact that it’s all an illusion does not necessarily reduce the universe to a desolate “big nothing.”  On the contrary, Schwinn sees the universe as a big everything—a giant soup of assimilated particles. Funny, if I were to talk to Chase, I’d talk about Northern Exposure. Her womanhood has been under wraps until she lays exposed on her deathbed, much to Paulie’s embarrassment. And there, on a sunny morning, Little Jimmy Brown was born. The Three Bells - Le Trois Cloches The Browns - Sweet Sounds By The Browns Vito settles in motel room; hiding out from Soprano's crew, after being discovered in gay bar. My sense at the time — one I still carry — is death is truly the end, but one that left me feeling fully alive and embodied in the moment, face to face with the fact that there’s no escape, only release. I still love Woody, but its impossible to watch his movies without thinking of the improprieties and allegations…. But it does raise the paradox—which idea, “inclusivity” or “exclusivity,” does one promote when one is inclusive of a philosophy that is exclusive? Scatalogical humor is perhaps my favorite; no matter our lofty thoughts, we’re still creatures imbedded in the grossest of materiality — a duality Season 6 captures perfectly. Where’s Little Carmine when you need him…? I was also reminded of the identity theme in the episode “Christopher” & how at the end of that episode Tony is talking about attaching ourselves too closely to a group. [1] The single reached number one in the U.S. on Billboard's Hot C&W Sides chart[2] and the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The Three Bells (Les Trois Cloches) (feat. It surely would have been praised and won awards if hadn’t been pulled by the distributor as the scandal hit. (And it may also refer to Paulie’s mother’s thighs, which he tries to cover up as he slips the scuba socks on.). It’s interesting, even though we only meet Paulie’s birth mother for a few minutes, we get a sense of her friskiness and sensuality and womanhood despite the fact that she is an old nun not doing much besides laying in bed. The song’s 3-person harmony reflects the harmonious world that it depicts. Chase uses trees to connect scenes here as he has done in the past: the camera pans up into the canopy in Tony’s backyard, and moments later pans down from the canopy at the river where Jason is attacked by Paulie. With each passing season, The Sopranos has been growing darker. I do understand why many viewers felt Paulie was conspiring against Tony but I think the real reason is that Chase is deluding US into thinking that TONY is any different. I’ve stated before that Chase seems to make a conscious effort in Season 6 to place The Sopranos within its American milieu, and Aaron and Bob represent the Religious Right that began truly flexing its power in the first decade of the 2000s. Intentional pun? But its interesting that he is willing to learn and listen, even if he doesn’t agree or change his ways. The opening part of his eulogy seems to prefigure Livia’s idea that “in the end, we die alone in our own arms.”  But he closes with a thought that echoes the Buddhist conception of sunyata—we can take our aloneness and emptiness and use it to connect with others: The fact that we don’t know this man isn’t important really because his experience is our experience. Some residue of his near-death-experience (or whatever that long, strange trip was) seems to be lingering in his consciousness—he tells his nurse, “I’ve been feeling, I dunno, It seems to me that Chase has always put his audience at a crossroads in how we choose to view the series. The boy is here only because it’s a vacation day from school, which of course happens to be the day that Cinelli Sanitation makes its stand against Barone Sanitation. I think that’s a pretty good epitaph for all of us. I lean more in between Lucia and Schwinn. David Chase may have specifically tapped Frolov and Schneider to write this particular Sopranos episode because he knew from prior experience that they could handle this theme of connectivity in the way that he wanted. Livia is not here now to make her side of the argument, but Paulie almost functions as a stand-in for her as he bitterly grumbles in Da Lux’s hospital room. It would be nice, for example, to have a reasonable explanation for why God (or Fate or Whoever In Charge) would allow the little girl in the other room to get so horrifically burned. If you’d asked me before I started watching, I’d probably have replied: “the mob”. I was thinking about how everything is just A Big Zero in Livia’s mind…. Tony Soprano is not as broadminded as John Schwinn, but there is a greater complexity and dimensionality to his thoughts than there is to Paulie’s. (“What, like. The definitive evangelistic right and wrong, and then the complicated everything is everything. Paulie learns that his mother is actually a nun and his father is some G.I. Season 5 is still my favorite as of right now, but I’m really coming to appreciate S6 more and more as I work on this season’s write-ups…. Many viewers saw the OMNI as a reference to God because ‘omni’ is a common prefix to describe Him: omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent. ° There seemed to be an interesting connection between Tony/Kevin’s curiously-plain voice and his first bout of rage ‘post-purgatory’. Nothing is transformed without an “active” past or a need to be. Schwinn looks at the same universe that Livia saw, but he sees it in a positive light—a universe in which all disparate things are connected. In fact, looks a little perturbed. Maybe a tougher stance by Tony and Carm over the years would have had a more fortunate effect on AJ. “The idea is born that the brain is a biological computer, with 100 trillion neurons whose synaptic connections act as information networks.” Their findings point out that our experiences are a result of the effects of quantum gravity on microtubules, a process which they call objective orchestrated reduction (Orch-Orr).
