Carmine fought and won the battle against egg salad for decades. A man's man. Eventually, Tony Egg had his way though, and Carmine's luck ran out. I'm not crying, you are!
Tony Lip the actor, had a very colorful life; aside from being in Godfather, Goodfellas, and the Sopranos. He was the bodyguard for a prominent black musician in the 60's, and he had to protect him during tours in the South. His greatest strength was not his muscles but his ability to reason with people, by talking with wity NYC talk. Tony Lip was so legendary, that they made a movie about him in 2018 called 'Green Book' staring Viggo Mortensen as Tony 'Lip' The movie is like 'Driving Miss Daisy' but the roles are reversed.
I thought the movie did him disservice. He is a hothead there who punches an innocent employee when everything is not the way he wants it. Like an abusive asshole portrayed sympathetic. The real Lip was very different.
He was a true, old school boss. A business man who didn't let emotions run his empire. Unlike the glorified crew in Jersey and his fat-fetish underboss...💅
One of Ghengis Khan’s successors was Kublai Khan (grandson). He went on to expand the mongol empire significantly and created the Yuan Dynasty in China.
Khublai Khan realised that war costs everyone money .when people are fighting they're not earning. If two different cities are planning to go to war he would tell them that if they do he will make war on them and they will definitely lose 😅
Its funny i always thought that the whole reason that Tony had that dream about Carmine Sr in season 6, is he had the same nickname as his wife Carmela, both can be called Carm. So in his dream he switches out one for the other. Seems like a natural dream thing and makes for a surreal dream moment. But now i think its deeper than that, seeing what Carmine symbolized to Tony and really to all of them.
This puts me in mind of a conversation I had with my cousin and best mate... I'm writing a screenplay about his many adventures, some of them are WILD! He's a very senior officer in the Australian special forces command (SOCOMD) and he's a different kind of officer. See he rose to his position through a highly decorated and intensive record of combat, in several theatres of operation and a bunch of his boys have told me, on many occasions, "I would follow that man through the gates of hell, he is the finest soldier I've ever had the privilege of serving with." And he really did command one of the most effective modern special forces squadrons in the world. They were legendary in the early 2000s. He remarked one day, when I brought that up in one of our recorded conversations, "A good leader amongst men of war never aims to be the leader; he'd never choose it if given the choice... However it's through the trials of war when the leader becomes obvious to everyone, himself included and he knows what he must do. There's no election, no discussions, it's just clear who's in charge, even to an outsider observing the team, and that dynamic never needs mentioning. I always wanted to be a soldier, a tier one soldier and I'm living my dream; but I never wanted to be a C/O. That just kind of happened. It humbles me every day to serve with my men, men who would do anything for me and have literally run through fire at my say so. If I needed to assert myself as their commander, I would be no commander at all. They chose the hierarchy and I am forever at their service. It is NEVER the other way around in a strong team." He's the wisest man I've ever met and teaches me how to run a successful company myself. Albeit in a very, very different field. Food for thought.
Here's the difference in the cunning. When Carmine uses cunning he wins, but when little Carmine stretched the limits of his cunning all the happens is he causes dysentery. He undercuts Tony who could have really been an ally out of pettiness and he makes more of an enemy of John. Everyone loses.
Carmine Sr just loved to show he was the Alpha & always in control & on top of everything. Even at the one dinner when Garside street & Zelman is brought up, Carmine has to correct Johnny’s grammar….”minimally expected.”
Carmine never let his emotions dictate his actions- that’s what made him a great boss. He had the growth of his business in mind as all great businessmen do. He negotiated in every action he took, but not at the coast of his operations- he wouldn’t let Jimmy get whacked until his earnings fell off, and presumably would have had the same done to Ralph. While he very understandably put profit first, he was ultimately a gangster mastermind and gave his men their dues in time.
let me tell you sumthin' about the old man: Sonny Black might've blown the top of his head like a fuckin' bad rug, but he's the only wiseguy who got sent fah Don Corleone's daughter's wedding! fuggetaboutit...
He may have been "from the old school" but he was so effective because he wasnt ego and tradition first, he was money focused first and foremost. Johnny, Tony, and Phil were so ego oriented and lost sight of the business. He was cunning and every move was about lining their pockets. Phil was waging war because Tony pissed him off. Tony killed off or lost respect from his captains because of his ego and uncontrollable bad habits
I think he had a great deal of respect and some fear of tonys potential. Always calm and respectful, stand up guy . When there is a bone to pick about sharing the profits from Zelman he has Johnny do the talking . Himself staying with only friendly relations because he knew Tony's rage potential and trying to strongarm him wouldn't be good for business. And he was right , he nearly got clipped over holding his 40percent and ultimately had to concede. That's one comment to his son about Tony's was a genius move to invoke his true feelings on the matter , and to see John's reaction. Genius wid those Slippery fish lips of his
One thing that never made any sense to me was how NY referred to the North Jersey family as "The Soprano Family". There's obviously situations where it makes sense to call em "the Sopranos" or something like that after Junior/Tony took over, and it seems like the Sopranos have been central to the family for at least a couple generations, but they're still the DiMeo Family. Family names don't usually change with a new boss. Especially once they start beefing, it would make sense to separate the problematic Sopranos from the DiMeo Family as a whole. But maybe I'm tweakin.
I'm so pleased you mentioned the golfing scene, it is my absolute favourite, as it shows Carmine in his natural habitat - refusing to get played by others. He notices his son and John forming a united front, especially when the two share a glance, when Carmine mentions sunscreen, and Little Carmine mentions the sunblock. I always saw that as the two thinking they knew him and could play him. I always felt Carmine Sr. fumbled his first drive deliberately, to split the two up from a position away from them, a little higher up. I always felt Carmine's anger at the end was put on, to emphasise that he is the boss and John can't weasel his way to control him.
I wouldn't say the quote applies to upper echelon mob guys, they're protected and shielded from the street, compared to a regular enforcer, Carmine was boss for over 50 years or so. The worst he'd deal with are RICO trials
Carmine was rational and wasn’t insecure like many of the so called “ Tough guys” like Phil and Tony. Many of the old guard were the ones that created the younger generation of more disrespectful and obsessed about honor and it’s pretty clear that he has experience about Johnny Sack trying to whack him over His Wife Ginny so he had a hit put out in advance. Carmine was forged in fire and utterly chill. That is why he didn’t give a damn about the drama with the families. He has seen and been though worse.
The fundamental question is..Would Little Carmine be as effective as a boss like his dad was, and he WOULD be, even MORE so, but until he is, it's gonna be hard to verify that he thinks he'll be as effective....🤔 (Little Carmine got all the best lines)
Ghengis khan? What are you talking about, his kids started the even greater conquests and brought the empire to full extend. His son temujin for example conquered the mighty chinese empire a and went as far as Malaysia and Japan. Even hundred of years after his conquest a descendent of his, Timur, created the mighty tumurid empire who went on to become the Mughal empire wich ruled India until the British arrived. His offspring was one of the most successful ruling family that only got stopped by people adapting to them and them getting weakened by the plague. Yes some hordes went into civil war and succession disputes, but that was long after ghengises reign or his heirs. The chagatai horde for example. But this was the horde Timur formed his empire from so 🤷
RUclips: He’s a bit of a poseur, if you ask me… Borko. Like to take the talk, i don’t know HBO: What, what’d he say? RUclips: His channel, His monetization Cineranter: What, they resod that green?!
He was truly business minded and wasn't into the drama of organized crime. He expected guys to follow mafia rules and make money. Period. Even if some of his decisions ended up lightening Johnny's pockets. Lol
It took until my third watch to really appreciate Carmine, but he's an amazing character. The focus on profit and business deals is a mask-off look at what the mafia is really all about. He was shrewd and easily the best boss we see. In contrast, sorry about that copyright hit! WB's CEO is a worse boss than Uncle Philly.
What made him different is that he didn’t own a single pair of shorts 🩳

Carmine is from the old school, he shouldn’t have to explain himself
We argued over how many minutes this video should be. I said 40, Cineranter said 5 and a half. Which was ridiculous..We split the difference.

Carmine thinks a Don should wear a three piece suit while barbecuing.
No just not short pants. Maybe some khaki with a polo shirt.

Carmine was rational and wasn’t insecure like many of the so called “ Tough guys” like Phil and Tony.
Many of the old guard were the ones that created the younger generation of more disrespectful and obsessed about honor and it’s pretty clear that he has experience about Johnny Sack trying to whack him over His Wife Ginny so he had a hit put out in advance.
Carmine was forged in fire and utterly chill. That is why he didn’t give a damn about the drama with the families. He has seen and been though worse.

What made Carmine different was that he knew everything from Tony wearing shorts and Paulies dad getting ran over by a trolley.😂😂

Carmine always seemed like a good Boss… I didn’t understand why John wanted Tony to take care of him. Power and money.
