New revelations about the "Sopranos"-film

In an excerpt from the book "The Sopranos Sessions", courtesy of the web page Esquire, reveals serieskaper David Chase that he had a certain aesthetic associated with the violent scenes in the series.

Even the most intense, emotional violence that occurs in the series - the one that is not actually intended to be funny - has an element of slapstick humor in them.

Never violence against animals

As the fight began between Tony and ralphie didn, that ends with ralphie didn die. Where to use the two a steikepanne and a box with insektspray, just like in a cartoon.

Even if voldscenene in the Sopranos is both bloody and merciless, is it a thing that the production would never do. Serieskaperen reveals the fact that no one would create scenes involving violence against an animal.

- Because they are innocent. It is the same as with a baby or a child. I think perhaps the reason that much of the violence in the series seems fun, is because of a perception that we all have done bad things. We are all idiots in one way or another, but here you see someone who gets what they deserve, he says, and continues:

of course I can only speak for the "Sopranos". For example, deserved Beansie it happened, in a way. I don't mean just with the mafia. But for example, if we had received Mr. Wegler to fall down a stairway and break the collarbone, we would all have cheered now.

Refused to play the argument

According to David Chase, it was a scene that actor James Gandolfini at first refused to do, namely, the quarrel between his characters, Tony and Gloria at her home, where he ends with to lift her up and throw her brilliance.

He just would not do it. We do not know how it is having to lift up a woman and throw her. He would not be seen that way, or thought of in that way - he would probably rather not experience it, because then he had to actually put themselves into how it is. It must be credible, and he must actually do it. He would not be seen as a beast, " explains Chase.

Reveals how the difficult drapsscenen in "The Sopranos" was recorded: - It was very uncomfortable

If David Chase had had the will, its basically, so would actually Gandolfini never have had the role of Tony Soprano.

according to The Richest, there was in fact a completely different actor Chase had in the telescope: namely, Steven Van Zandt, hovedmafiaskurken in the Norwegian series Lilyhammer.

however, This was at a time when Van Zandt had not yet had his breakthrough as an actor, so it would have been his first role. David Chase should have liked Van Zandt so well, that he wrote into a different role for him instead, namely, Silvio Dante.

all about evil

David Chase tells us, moreover, that the serieskaperne tried to do their utmost to make the characters in "the Sopranos" " to get people to see what the series is really about.

- It's about people who have made a deal with the devil, and it starts with the boss. It's all about evil. I was surprised how difficult it was for people to see it, he says, according to Esquire, and continues:

You just have to trust me when I say this, but I can reveal that it would have been a limit to how far we would have gone to make sure that people realized it.

Although the series offers some of the most criminal råskinna which is to be found in the fictional american mafia, it is a fact that several of the actors who play in the series have a criminal record.

Tony Sirico ("Paulie Walnuts") is perhaps the actor with the longest record. In 1971 he was declared as "a danger to society" by a judge in New York, and a psychiatric report concluded that he suffered from "severe karakterbrist".

In prison, however, he was interested in acting, and Sirico have been law-abiding since the mid 70's.

According to Dart to Chase several times in the course of the interview said that there is no point in responding to the question of whether Tony Soprano is dead or not:

To continue the pursuit of the answer is meaningless. The last scene in "The Sopranos" poses a series of spiritual questions that have no right or wrong answers, " says Dart.
