Artie is one of the few characters that had a happy ending in such a grim show. He leads a normal but honorable life, he has a beautiful wife and he's found his calling all over again. His job is in the kitchen, he's a chef through and through.
This isn’t his last scene. His last scene is later in the show when tony and Carmella are pretending to be happy to meadow and Patrick getting engaged. This is Arties renaissance. He stops pretending to be a tough guy and rediscovers his passion: cooking. Once he fully re-commits he understands just how lucky he is to with a woman like Charmaine and gets his life back on track. Artie will never have Tony’s money and once he makes peace with that he really evolves as a character
@@slydEvil35 Artie's incredibly lucky he got a second chance from Charmaine. All the shit he did trying to be macho ended up endangering both himself and his family. That kind of selfishness would destroy a lot of relationships.
The way Artie tries to make the old tape on the cover stick and then he feels the the texture of the old paper smiling, if there was a fire in the restaurant he's definitely saving that book.
The smile when he's looking through his old composition notebook touches that part of us that we tend to lose. When everything mattered, when our actions held weight in our hearts, or at least when it all meant something to us. Most characters got pretty poor endings, but not Artie.
My mom has this old, small Betty Crocker cookbook with hearts and arrows with me and my little brothers names, she doodled them on there when we were just babies. Every time I see it, gets me a bit emotional. It’s definitely more than nostalgia, just pure love.
This episode and especially this scene was what made Artie my favorite character in the show. It's just so beautiful, after so much pain and humiliation, Artie remembers the real reason he owned a restaurant, and his old passion was reignited.
At the 30 second mark when Artie looks at the couple through the door window...he makes the decision to do a good deed for some strangers and cook them a meal. The man's business is in peril, he's been there all day wearing a cast with his beaten face...and he chooses to do something good and selfless. You see Charmaine smile and look at him with pride for making the right call. It's a super small and quick moment but it's all the difference in who Artie is. Artie wins in the end for the everyman and I give the credit to John Ventimiglia for making such a great character you can't help but root for
Tony had gotten through to him after she failed. She also told him to cut the chatter. He rebuffed her Tony reminded him about the storm night and he rebuffed him too. He even wasnt gonna take his advice then he said get back in the kitchen and cook thatd be a start. And in this scene it all clicked, and he finally did right. He saw the couple in exepriencing trouble like Tony did during the storm and he came through for another customer in a very nice moment. A nice end for Artie. Charmagne definitely does give him a tender look at 0:35. I never noticed. Shes usually nagging him. You rarely see her smile.
That's a symbol of his rebirth. A whole new generation to serve once Tony and his gluttonous henchmen are finally dead and gone. The young couple doesn't know his past, only what he can serve today.
Lol he tries and fails to be a loan shark like his big hero Tony. These are the type of takes you have when you're a kid who only knows the show from RUclips clips.
Leaving the credits in the video was actually a nice touch. It was the final scene of an episode. So may as well keep the credits in, acknowledging the show makers. Good form 👍👍
Thanks. The main idea starting of this channel was sharing clips wiith their credits, because I believe an ending scene without its credits is not complete. They carry the meaning, emotions and maybe even continue the story.
As a non Italian intermediate foodie, I'd say that the essence of traditional Italian cuisine, is the seemingly small things that come together. I'd say the same about the Mediterranean kitchen. I can't get enough of this scene. There are so many subtle layers, it's truly served as a an Italian dish 🥲
Artie may be the most inspirational character. Grew up around the mob, but chose the family business instead. Was never short on balls when it came to standing up to his friends’ shady behavior. Always willing to lend a hand to his friends and their families. He definitely had some blind spots when it came to lust and staying true to his marriage, but he worked through those better than most imperfect men would or probably could. In the end, he was rewarded with a rich life, a wonderful business, and a loving family/community. It’s so easy to romanticize the mob and bring all the attention to the exciting mafioso tropes. God bless David Chase for writing in a character as wonderful as Artie and making him a cornerstone of the entire series.
Even better when you take into account that his “character” is from Italy, since he’s the guy that Snubs Paulie in Italy when he says “Commandatore” or whatever the Italian thing is lol
The least realistic part of all this is that rabbit takes around two hours to properly cook. It’s not a steak. Artie’s gonna keep that couple hungry way past midnight.
well maybe that's the point. He wants to "get out of there" but passion has no time limit so he will stay until its done, and they can eat breadsticks and entrees til they're properly fed.
I loved this scene! Throughout this episode everyone kept saying how arties losing his touch but right here you can see his passion for cooking reignite it’s so beautifully done.
One of the best scene of show... He tries running away business problems and emotional problems with his art. Makes an ancestoral recipe with love and respect. Tárrega's Recuerdos De La Alhambra plays on background which is one of the best classical guitar composing. Making the scene deeper...
I mean because you can. The wire is just as good if you can actually comprehend the main character is the city of Baltimore. The fact the season 2 is showing the docks and working man having to bend and dying because the entire city is dying which is why the streets are so messed up. It shows every aspect of the city from the street thugs, to the working man to the police to the politician. I’d say they’re about equal.
Artie Bucco is such a great and well written character. It’s like he is a prisoner of Tony Soprano just by unfortunately knowing him and growing up with him
Yes he was ... he did a couple of Cameos like that .. The best one though was when he dissed Paulie Walnuts at the Cafe in Italy .. " Commandatore" lmao
I love this scene. I love how he fixes the name tag on the recipe book. I love how he shoos away his wife when he trying to focus. The music and feel. Just perfecto.👌
brooo charmaine was ok but i really don’t see the big fuzz about her. everyone says she was hot AF but she was aaaight. her ears were fucked up lol. for me, way way waaaay hotter we’re adriana, dr melfi and meadow. gloria can also get the bizness. and the peyote chick that tony smashed in vegas too. i would put all of those above charmaine
The episode where Christopher gets shot and comes out of a coma actually indicated that Paulie would die too, probably off camera. When Christopher woke up from his coma, he said he got a message for both Tony AND Paulie. The message was "3 o'clock" ie how the shooter was at Tony's 3 o'clock when he got killed. The same message was for Paulie so I assume he died soon after
@@grantfurr580 I don't think so I think him and Patsy conspired with NY to have Tony killed. Paulie was in position to take over but he may have let patsy take the top spot. Chance are they are basically puppet rulers under the thumb of one of the NY families. The family the sopranos is based on basically imploded and one of the NY families moved in and took over their rackets in NJ, so it would be somewhat consistent with the way things really ended up.
joe ganascoli should have got the chef role since hes a real chef and artie could have played vitos role after all artie said he wanted to be a cool guy
Tbh I love Artie as a character especially because he is one of The few friends of Tony’s who isn’t a member a the crime family and having a normal life.
I can't believe Tony actually gave someone good advice that didn't destroy them in the end but instead helped them grow as a person. He REALLY liked Arthur. Butt buddies?
They're 2 Italian hitmen, Italo and Salvatore. In that and the previous episodes, they were hired to kill Rusty Millio. On the plane they're saying how they bought the luxury items like that watch for much cheaper than it would have cost them in Italy. "For my mom." "The big store on 57th Street?" "If you bought this in Naples? The weak dollar." "Mont Blanc. Actually cheaper in the US."
With the two hitmen at the end, why were they so happy with the Montblanc(?) pens? Wouldn't they be able to get them easier in Europe? Or, was it because it's less expensive to buy them in the U.S.? Exchange rate at that time?
Artie was the only character who actually kept any old Italian traditions alive, beautiful ending to a great character arc
that and chris keeping the tradition of getting killed by a soprano, just like his dad
What tradition !!! Only tradition we know about Italy is colonialism and mafia !!!! 🫣🫣🫣
Most of the other characters were so far removed from the old country it was funny to watch.
The old recipe book is written in Italian!

Love this want to be a chef myself love Artie the compassion and confidence love bucco 🥂🥂🥂
And Charmaine bitching until the end.
And hitting on every hostess in his restaurant.
He is the viewer, the everyman. It is like if your normal guy was surrounded by whores, killers, goons and scum. And how he would navigate it
Happy Ending? As soon as Tony dies, Benny takes Artie to the warehouse and drives nails slowly into his balls.
The fact that this is Artie’s final scene is so brilliant. Almost brings you to tears. Perfection.
It still gets to me in 2023.

Honestly, the moment where he rolls the tape back on the recipe book is one of my favorite little details in this scene.
