Melfi knew she couldn’t ethically tell Carmela what she needed to hear. So she sent her to someone who could and would. The best thing she ever did for that family.
If Melfi had the Jewish as her therapist instead of that wanker Elliot he would've told her straight up end sessions with Tony immediately. But it takes her 8 years to realise therapy wasn't helping him at all.
@@Onmysheet Her husband told her right away that Tony is a sociopath and can't be treated. I don't know why everyone acts she "didn't get the memo" until that dinner scene in season six B.
Fun Fact: The statue is a reproduction of a very famous nude and was in Lorraine Bracco's personal collection. She brought it in to add authenticity to the set. The title is "A Study In Forbidden Love: Dom DeLuise, 1953" - it's by Gary Cooper; it was one of the last sculptures he did before his death.
In the scene the sculpture works to portray a liberated woman, which makes perfect sense why Carmela would say she didn't like it - because it represents everything she isn't and can't even fathom.
I've seen Chase mythology go a long way in YT comments, and much of it is deserved, but seriously, using the same shot in the same situation to stress the relationship between two people? That's what counts as amazing? Some people need to take a cold shower.
@@AlanHope2013 Never EVER be surprised by the comment section... fanboys will gush over the slightest little thing. Tony sitting at the dinner table and breathing heavy. Soprano Dickriders: "James Gandolfini could put so much emotion into a scene with just his facial expressions. He is the greatest actor in the history of the world. His death just crushed me oh boo-hoo hoo hoo."
Something I've noticed in the show is that when Dr Melfi is in a more powerful position or is having a scene where she becomes more aggressive she wears pants, but in most of her other scenes when shes simply listening or enabling Tony she has a skirt on like Carmela. I know the show loves symbolism so I wonder if that was on purpose.
Melfi's go-to move: 8 seconds of uncomfortable silence, steady stare and then a tilt of the head. Only thing she leaves out is a "Cat got your tongue"?
I love how the moment Carmela tells Melfi she's only there because Tony can't make it, she begins smiling and making herself open to Carmela. Carmela tries to figure Melfi out by complimenting her artwork, but showing dislike for the statue. Melfi remains neutral and Carmela's face changes right away. Both characters are great.
Notice at the start of the scene. Carmella looking at the statue, the shot panning up to show the statue, then Melfi coming out the door and calling her in. It exactly mirrors a scene where Tony is waiting for Melfi
@@s4mcote Did she, though? Could she fully grasp how often he would cuck her? Could she really really have a good idea what thr life would be like? I'm just thinking out loud here that's all.
@@youbetternotplaythatnashee898 yes, she grew up in the life and the fact that she cares only about his cheating and not about all the other things shows who she is. Selfish
@@mogreen1232 Mo, can I buy your casino? Name a price, in shine boxes please. ;) I get it and yeah she is selfish no doubt about that. Thing is she grew up in the life with people who glamorized it all the time, I don't think she saw someone get shot in front of her. Tony seems to keep her out of his work, from her perspective things might be like : "my husband works and makes money with horrible people but I don't know what he himself is doing and I don't want to know".
brilliant details as always! the enormous distance between Melfi and Carmela really illustrates their differences. it feels like a distance which cannot be / will not be crossed.
I think one of the things that the show kinda implied is that if they were born male and able to be part of a Crew, Carmela and Janice would be just as ruthless and greedy as Tony. They are so hypocritical. God especially Janice she'd be more of a nightmare.
First run through it is easy to overlook Carmela. But when you really watch her, she is just as manipulative and greedy as any of them. Watch the scene where Tony is asking her about the Adrianna sex accusation. Carmella never answere, she is ballancing whether to answer, and how to answer without losing leverage. She stays silent, diverts, and retreats, because there is no answer that leaves her in a good position.
I love how the writers targets us as the audience in reflection to Carmela's character. If we were in her position, the majority of us would rather live in poverty and in peace than her glamorous lifestyle entirely depending on someone like Tony. Her decision, her hell.
@@bridgecross Even today, the cars, jewelry and home they lived in would be a fortune. So looking at this twenty five years after the fact makes it absurd considering there was only one income; and the implication was that they’d lived that way for a while. But it was all unsustainable & I think that was the writers’ point.
For the 3rd season she got nominated for but lost to Edie. I personally think Lorraine should've won, especially when she submitted "Employee of the month" for her nomination. She was phenomenal in that episode and should've won over Edie that year.
@@zachflowers5608 She was actually nominated several times but always lost to Edie. And yes she absolutely should have won for Employee of the Month. That was some of the best acting by anyone on The Sopranos...ever.
@@brandielittle186 She deserved the Emmy for the (IMO) most potent moment of the entire series, with one word of dialog: Tony: "Is there somethin' you wanna tell me about?" Dr. Melfi (after perhaps the most extended, excruciating pause in television history): "No." Fade to Black. Flawless acting, brilliant writing; Lorraine Bracco's character was the moral anchor that held the show's center from the first moment she appeared to the last episode. When she dismissed Tony, that was her defining moment. He betrayed her; in return, she was ruthless and stone-cold with rage and disgust. He had used her, and worse, wasted her time and made her doubt her devotion to her work. An earlier comment notes what I've always believed, that Dr. Melfi was the only person who threw him out of her life. The finale was one of the only two episodes David Chase directed.
Wow what a scene!! So well acted and great writing !! Carmela went to try get Melfi on her side to things her way and confirm to her it’s not her now Tony’s mother is gone and he hasn’t changed!! And melfi couldn’t and didn’t wanna do it. Crazy twisted shit lol 😂
Im surprised no one has uploaded the second time carmela and melfi had a session together, after tony is shot and they run into each other at the grocery store. Edie Falco kills it in that scene talking about how she always knew who tony was.
The only woman from the show I would have liked as a wife would be Charmaine Bucco. And even that's kind of so-so; she was the only one in the show with a spine and morals, but she was also a real bitch to Artie. But in the end, they did get back together and it seemed she had her tender side.
I think it signifies the chance for rebirth, hence why he's first shown in between her legs in the pilot. Going to Dr. Melfi and considering changing his ways is his chance to become a "new man" that he, ultimately, doesn't fulfill.
1st off as fantastic as an actress as Edie Falco is (love her as Carmella and Nurse Jackie), I do think it's a joke that Lorraine Bracco never won an Emmy as Dr Melfi 2nd this is a fantastic scene the 2 of them could have said nothing and it would have been fantastic. Just seeing Carmella and Dr Melfi in a room alone is something we waited for.
She refers to the Bing a few times. Including once yelling at Tony for taking AJ to the Bing for a college party. Also AJ at one point in high school tries to take his friends to the Bing to watch the strippers but idiot AJ leads them to Satriale's Pork Store.
Is she, though? If the doctor Carmela goes to says "I won't take blood money, and neither should you" what exactly is it Melfi has been doing all this time? *Everybody* in Tony's world is getting something out of their relationship with him. In Melfi's case it's the thrill of having a Don for a patient and getting an insiders look into that world, plus, of course, the money.
It's so brilliant in the writing Dr. Melfi 'quite resolve " is like how a gangster stays quite and listens to his people speak so he can asses their true intentions...she has nothing to do with organized crime and yet like any gangster sits and watches to figure how she can benefit in her field the unique opportunity she has being the therapist to a mafia boss no different how the mob hustles and looks for opportunity in their world
Ironically, Marlon Brando's famous insistence on using cue cards would prevent that tic because he would be reading his part not from his mind but from a card placed where his eyeline was meant to be.
I wonder what the significance of that sculpture of the green woman means. I've noticed scenes of tony looking at it from time to time, its in one of the first episodes, when tony talks to melfi about aj's suicide, and in this scene.
I’ve seen a counselor, therapists, a psychologist, AND a psychiatrist, and none of them were as cold, stilted and condescending as this actor’s portrayal.
I think they both knew that they both care for Tony that only be God and Tony can change Tony. I think they both saw that and that is what ended the meeting, right there
My foster sister went to regular therapy and said she hated they way they sat you down and were dead silent until you spoke. Why would they do that given that many people - because of their condition - are nervous or ineloquent etc. ?
Mick G. I think the very best psychologists do that, because the only way for your best discoveries to come to light are for them to come from your own narrative. Only when the patient takes the lead is there the greatest chance of this happening in therapy. 🤷🏻♂️
I had about 3 sessions as a teenager. Sonovabitch tried that with me. I have always been patient, and naturally quiet. Perfectly fine sitting for an hour saying nothing. He gave up about half way through and started asking queations. Didn't try that silent bit again.
I love how this show represents how rare good people actually are, in-fact the entire show's honesty and satire is very uplifting. That 1920's mob murder porn show is absolute sociopathic garbage "art" in my opinion.

I love how this show represents how rare good people actually are, in-fact the entire show's honesty and satire is very uplifting. That 1920's mob murder porn show is absolute sociopathic garbage "art" in my opinion.
Forgive my ignorance but which show are you referring to?

Was this right after Jackie Jr was murdered?
After Ralphie killed the stripper, Tracy
