I think he calls it a death scene because its a scene about the contemplation of death. Death is lurking and a possibility at any moment. For everyone, not just Tony. I don't think it means Tony is dead.

Chase has also said in other moments Tony isn't dead. We can't really take one moment of his into consideration and not the others.

And he got mad because people are always trying to pin down whether the guy died or not.

Have you the interview? There is no grey area. Chase goes along with calling it a death scene and talks about an earlier idea he had for Tony’s death. When the interviews tell him that he just confirmed Tony’s death he doesn’t disagree. This article was published in a book over a year ago so like someone else said I don’t know why the media is only picking up on it now. Maybe to drum up publicity for the movie.

I do recall reading several years ago that Chase said Tony didn't die in the last scene.

And he also hypothetically talked about doing a Sopranos movie with Gandolfini, which seemingly wouldn't be possible if Tony is dead.

This will always be subjective, I just wanna make that clear. But..he doesn't disagree with Tony being dead in that moment because its possible he is. That's the idea of the whole scene. It can happen.

But here's the VOX piece where he says "No" to the question of Tony's death. https://www.vox.com/2014/8/27/6006139/d ... e-sopranos

Its a bit long, but there's some graphics/pictures that highlight his quote maybe a third of the way down.

I think he doesn't even mean to say "he's definitely not dead". But to say "he is dead", wouldn't really be what he was going for. '

He's also said in other interviews that the thought of the audience's hypocrisy of cheering Tony on all these seasons, and then wanting to see him dead irritated him greatly.

But this isn’t the first time I seen you guys talk about them like they actually exist, same with the Corleone's from The Godfather lol so now I’m just confused.

Then Chase, 74, dropped the bombshell: “Yes, I think I had that death scene around two years before the end … But we didn’t do that.”
I took it to mean he was talking about the scene where he thought he was going to end it, where he said he was going to take a ride with the Shah and the screen was going to go black meaning Tony died. Shit the dude is 74 so who knows what's true and what's not or if he's trolling everyone. Especially with his bouncing back and forth on if Tony truly died.
If I didn't have my case coming up, I would like to come back with you gentlemen when this is over with and really lay the law down what is going on in this country.....

Huge difference between not taking something personally a stranger says about you on the internet, and being curious as to why the Sopranos are discussed as if they actually exist.

For someone who tries to be smart, you aren’t.

That is his whole schtick. Three posts yesterday and all 3 meant to stir up trouble with 3 different posters.

We agree too disagree. Didn’t Chase say that all the answers are there if you look at the clues? I think Tony definitely died. I didn’t like the way he left it ambiguous though because he had never done that before. I don’t count the Russian as being ambiguous.
