Ironically, I had just picked up a movie of his from last year called "Down the Shore." It takes place on the Jersey shore and concerns Gandolfini's character's sister who had died in Paris. It's another wonderful performance by Mr. Gandolfini. I watched it last night as a tribute to him.
I just recently had a chance to see two episodes of "The Sopranos" on HBO and they were two of the best. When Carmela told Tony that she didn't love him anymore, the look in Tony's sad eyes was heartbreaking.
My thoughts and prayers go out to James Gandolfini's wife and children and the rest of his family and friends. He is an actor I will truly never forget.
Here is one of my favorite scenes from the show -

And here is the last scene from the series when everything fades to black. Focus on the good times -

I forgot to mention that James Gandolfini's son Michael appeared briefly in Down the Shore.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the 2 links you gave and found them interesting. I didn't watch the Sopranos but I kind of knew what it was about. We didn't have HBO and so you can understand why I didn't know James Gandolfini. I thought your tribute was great.
ReplyDeleteThanks. We don't get HBO either but I have seen every episode on DVD. It was a brilliant show that paved the way for many more.
DeleteI hope James Gandolfini's family is coping as best they can with his loss.
