Beth is correct in pointing out that the Evangelical community is very supportive of Israel, but Hesh understands that this show of fundamentalist love is temporary: “You wait,” he responds. In addition to “The Great Mushroom,” Frolov and Schnieder produced another episode of, Esau in “The Robe” and Pastor Bob here both have a fairly simplistic sense of morality, In “The Robe,” Esau makes a joke about Buddhism; “Fleshy Part” continues a sort of “Asian theme” from the two previous episodes (which both featured Buddhist monks), There is a reference in “The Robe” to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, the idea in physics that a quantum particle’s paired variables (like speed and position) cannot both be known simultaneously with any certainty; “Fleshy Part” contains a reference to Schrodinger’s Equation which is closely related to Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, I’m sure Esau the Dummy or Pastor Bob could conjure up an explanation for such a heartbreaking sight—perhaps the child is paying for someone’s sins, or maybe God means it to be a test of faith. I check everyday for updates, happy you are still at it! (I included this quote previously in my “D-Girl” write-up, but I’ll put it up again here. (Part of the reason why this write-up is so long is that there is a lot I need to get “on the record” here if my “Made in America” entry is to make any sense.) (Evolution does not attempt to explain how life began on earth, nor why; it only accounts for the great diversity of species.) At some point in the first season, Tony taunts a repentant wise guy on the television with the phrase “if the shoe fits …” I suppose this kind of imagery suggests an anxiety about if you can fit into the role that you are supposed to have. (“What, like The Flintstones?” wonders Tony.) Another thought: Her thighs, sixty years ago, were the fleshy part of her that Russ had to navigate in order to impregnate her. Men like Colson found God in prison and though I can’t speak for them, probably embraced the absolutism of Christianity as a way to reestablish morality within themselves after having gone so crooked. I only wish we had more scenes with Paulie & Nucci throughout the series. Tony improves his personal security and Vito's secret double life is exposed. People let you down…In the end, you die in your own arms…It’s all a big nothing. Buddhist doctrine claims—as does John Schwinn—that the things we perceive in the universe are only that—perceptions. Tony tries to give Paulie a broader, more universal view of things, tries to get him to recognize that the truth is much bigger than what he sees out of his limited, self-absorbed viewpoint. Vanitas vanitatum, et omnia vanitas. Leaving us hanging. I don’t know the answer, but I also don’t really dwell too much on the question. Pastor Bob is certain that John Schwinn, the scientist in the room next door, is a lost soul if he has accepted evolution to be true. To bring this on-topic to a Sopranos blog, I think part of the reason we let ourselves love Tony is because it was well-known that Gandolfini was a very nice guy in real life. But it is that solitude in death that is our common bond in life. Thanks for adding this note.. “What happens here, what happens there, how do things intermesh. [Perhaps it was so obvious that you’d omitted it from your autopsy], but for the next little while, I was wondering if I’d made a reach with the whole Devil / possession scheme. Then the little congregation Prayed for guidance from above I’m not sure if we know exactly how old Paulie is, and we definitely don’t know how old Russ Fegoli is, but the actors that play them were born, respectively, in 1942 and 1928, so the math could work if we massaged Russ’ age a little bit…  (I think Fegoli being Paulie’s father would be just way too much of a coincidence but I wouldn’t be surprised if Chase stuck the possibility in there as a fun little easter egg.). An organ provides dramatic flourishes. He presents a vision of Christianity in which God is forgiving even to the worst criminals, and Tony seems to grow interested in what Bob has to say. His fate is our fate. She has suffered third-degree burns over 80% of her body: I’m sure Esau the Dummy or Pastor Bob could conjure up an explanation for such a heartbreaking sight—perhaps the child is paying for someone’s sins, or maybe God means it to be a test of faith. Colson later said that when he came to terms with his role in Watergate, “I sat there for a long time that night deeply convicted of my own sin.” Sin is a curiosity in Christianity since it damns one to hell, but we all supposedly are sinners and must repent. Although I have a fairly specific interpretation of this outing, I recoil from calling it the definitive interpretation. The Buddhist concept of, Sunyata is often misunderstood to mean that nothing exists. Each person subjectively perceives and defines what a “chariot” is—there is no inherent, intrinsic “chariot-ness” in its parts. Bruce Hornsby and The Range The Way It Is (1986) The Way It Is 5.2 - Adriana meets … His behavior was completely deplorable and it is really him who owed her an apology. The song "The Three Bells" that I am familiar with from the 50s was sung by The Browns, a group made up of a brother and two sisters. It’s like my whole life is a joke, a big fuckin joke on me.”  Some viewers have speculated that Paulie’s dad might be blowhard Russ Fegoli who appeared at Hugh’s birthday party in “Marco Polo” (where I believe he mentions he served in WWII). John Schwinn gives us a way in this episode to transcend the nihilism, transform the nothingness into something positive. All 12 songs featured in The Sopranos season 6 episode 5: Mr. & Mrs. John…, with scene descriptions. He was embarrassed about his ‘small hands’ when junior told his girl cousins about it.. and just look at his coach molinaro dream. If you’d asked me before I started watching, I’d probably have replied: “the mob”. Here, he tells the nurse he hasn’t been feeling like himself. He occasionally says yes to things he might have fought harder against previously, he is briefly mellowed, but he also wields his condition like a weapon. Hmm, “fear, greed, jealousy, prejudice, hatred”—personality traits commonly found in several SopranoWorld characters, particularly in the family matriarch. The Ulitmate Collection of Music Featured in the Sopranos. He tries to cover her, but she throws the covers off. Some residue of his near-death-experience (or whatever that long, strange trip was) seems to be lingering in his consciousness—he tells his nurse, “I’ve been feeling, I dunno, It seems to me that Chase has always put his audience at a crossroads in how we choose to view the series. A couple freaky observations I’m thrilled to share… The idea that “Everything is everything” may very well be the shining beacon that lights up this dark world. I’m guessing that no one was thinking of the Deep Throat connection when they decided to hire Holbrook here, but the subtext that is generated by casting him can certainly deepen our understanding of the episode…. Hindu gods also seem (maybe I’m wrong here) so much more “human” – they can be jealous, wicked, mischievous… A characteristic of Christian duality is the belief that God is purely perfect, with none of the “imperfections” that humans have. His relationship to his “mother” suddenly feels false to him, it is not what he had always thought it to be. His morality is black-and-white, fixed. The 18th episode of the final season is aptly titled “Kennedy and Heidi” (the finale is three … Tony is seeing the world through different eyes now, and he has a new voice: Schwinn’s voice. All the chapel bells were ringing In the little valley town And the song that they were singing Was for baby Jimmy Brown. But then Bob presents his “Young Earth” view of history, claiming that the planet is only 6000 years old and that dinosaurs coexisted with humans. to the show. Browse our 110 arrangements of "Carol of the Bells." Similarly, I want to ascribe great thematic significance to the scene in which Marvin’s “soft tissue” gets injured, but it’s hard not to laugh when we see him writhing on the ground, clutching his buns and shouting “They shot me in my ass!”. Duality vs. singularity. Not all Christians are so dualistic in their thinking. That’s a good take, even a wise take. Of all the cultural battles of the Bush era, I found the skirmishes over the theory of evolution to be the most infuriating. Hard not to wake her up in my excitement, but she would not have been happy. The worst thing is I’m not who I am. David Chase obviously cares about connective tissue, based on statements appearing in the L.A. Times and elsewhere, but that doesn’t prove he actually drew a line between the “soft tissue” mentioned in this hour and the “soft tissue” mentioned in “Isabella.”, I’ll admit, the more I thought about it, the less I believed that Chase was conscientiously calling back an almost throwaway line by Isabella in Season 1. This has always seemed, to me, too convenient for Chase. Maybe you could upload the clips to Vimeo? Actions. These are not hermetic compartments but events that constantly flow and feed back between past, present and future. But that’s perfectly ok with me. Can a gangster fulfil the expectations of his gang? If we understand ourselves to inter-exist with everything else, this gives rise to trust and compassion. Some 50 years after the song came out, it was featured in two episodes of The Sopranos, causing the oldie tune to experience "a minor resurgence," the Tennessean explained. Did you notice I squeezed a Chinatown reference into this write-up, Leaman? Many viewers saw the OMNI as a reference to God because ‘omni’ is a common prefix to describe Him: omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent. ( Log Out /  Reply; 1 vote. Its tempting, of course, to indulge in certainty; there is nothing more effective at alleviating our existential confusion and anxieties. After finding out the truth about the identity of his birth-mother, Paulie’s relationship to adoptive-mother Nucci feels false to him. I still get the error when trying those two. Hi Ron, your thoughts are laid out well and help viewers out. Within days of the Series Finale, I had formulated an interpretation of that cut-to-black that was deeply informed by this episode. The simple lyrics portray a village filled with faith and light and heavenly guidance, a place like the Eden that Pastor Bob surely believes once existed and believes will exist—for some people—once again. Ron, When Tony is in his hospital bed watching Kung Fu Master Po says to Kawi Chang Caine “Between father and son there is a bridge which neither time nor death can stop”. Other connections reward the conscientious viewer with their irony and humor: in Season 4, Paulie was so concerned about his mother’s TV when she first moved into Green Grove that he ordered both Lil Paulie and Benny to carry it, but now he angrily tosses the TV out of her Green Grove window: I think one of the most important clusters of connectivity to be found this season developed around what we might refer to as “the Asian theme.”  This season has had something of an Asian flavor, beginning with the scenes at Nori Japanese restaurant in the season opener. Instead, it tells us that there is existence, but that phenomena are empty of svabhava, a Sanskrit word that means self-nature, intrinsic nature, essence, or ‘own being.’, She gives the example of a chariot: if you removed pieces of the chariot one by one (wheels, axles, etc), at what point would the chariot cease to be a chariot? Now, Chase masterfully teaches us those concepts with the incorporation of Buddhism and quantum physics, which as Ron says, have implicitly high connectivity with each other. The Spring 2009 concert series at Columbia University's Italian Academy for Advanced Studies will present three recitals by leading sopranos specializing in contemporary music who will present works from Italy and the U.S. Each of the three programs will include Luciano Berio's 1966 Sequenza III for solo voice. Though some local school districts and State Boards of Education have kept the so-called “debate” going, it is no longer the polarizing wedge-issue it was when “Fleshy Part” first aired. The song "Three Bells" is also played in this episode. Evolution is a theory of inter-connection (just as Buddhism and John Schwinn’s physics are). In fiction and in history, Deep Throat was a character steeped in relativism. This parallels a choice that was being debated in the real world at the time this episode originally aired (and is still being debated today): would America be better off if we approached social and political issues with a nuanced understanding of their complexities, or would the country be better off if we were guided by uncomplicated, strongly-held values and decisive action? Of the world’s 34 most developed nations, we ranked second-to-last in percentage of adults who accept evolution to be true. Even though David Chase definitely makes references to Buddhism around this part of the season, with the monks and a monastery (possibly named after the legendary Crystal Monastery in Nepal), I’m not sure how much Chase wanted us to connect Schwinn with Buddhism. Piaf did the first recording of this song, (The absurdity of the universe: Schwinn came in to the hospital for a sinus infection, but now he must leave without his larynx.) Chase silences Schwinn with a laryngectomy by the end of the hour (a reminder of the cold, cruel nature of the universe). I know there is a lot of duality in Hinduism (and Hindu equivalents of Pastor Bob certainly exist) but I don’t think a religion that is so pantheistic can ever be quite as dualistic as Christianity. His fate is our fate. (Phil must be happy to make the deal, but he looks disappointed by Tony’s conciliatory attitude. 6.5 - Vito checks into a motel. “The Fleshy Part of the Thigh” is one of my favorite episodes, it is truly a keystone hour in my understanding of the series. …explore in greater depth the innovative use he has made of the structure of serial television, a narrative form more suitable than film for depicting the world according to Schwinn, since serial television can, after all, be understood as a replication of the world of particles combining with other particles to make a whole. I think my dad may have gone through something similar after his heart surgery. Then when pastor Bob suggest Tony come join the church, Tony responds genuinely “it must be nice to have something to hold on to”. I wonder if he was annoyed at the irony of his life’s philosophy and part of the fame of the company he worked for (his life’s work)? If everything is connected then you have to accept there is a place for all of it, including the philosophy you may not favor. I’ll close by saying that there are plenty of parallels between the Nixon (or any) White House, the mob in Soprano World, and the FBI in both real life and in Soprano World. named Russ who knocked her up during WWII. Tony and AJ dropped out of college early. [3][4] The version by the Browns also hit number ten on Billboard's Hot R&B Sides chart. After Tony is diagnosed with alzheimers he says he’s not going to know who he himself is soon, so maybe it doesn’t even matter (I think this idea is related to the final scene between Tony & Junior in Made in America). And the trees motif at the end of the episode seems to emphasise the connection between Tony relaxing back at home and Jason getting beaten by Paulie. Thanks. Conservative leaders and politicians deserve credit for no longer pushing Creationism as a legitimate scientific theory on par with Evolution. Historically, Eastern religions and philosophies like Buddhism have been more friendly than Christianity to the idea that all things are interconnected. I am sure that many viewers will not agree with how I’ve unpacked this hour. “…prevailing tenor of the series.” The world is composed mainly of relative truths, not absolute ones. It may just be a random episode of Kung Fu, but I did like the eastern flavor to it, as you pointed out. The two songs are at complete opposite ends of the spectrum, lyrically and sonically—they are, in a manner of speaking, “black” & “white.”  “The Three Bells” invokes a world that is so peaceful, mild and well-ordered that it almost seems pollyannish. I don’t think, however, that Chase submits to the idea that there are never, But here’s the thing about David Chase: he’s a crafty one. The reference in this hour to Charles Colson, President Nixon’s hatchet man, is particularly interesting because it explicitly brings politics into the episode. Jim Ed Brown was the lead singer for the group and, as far as I know, they didn't ever have anything else as popular as that song was. Another unfortunate son is the boy who accompanies his truck-driving dad on his garbage route. All 3 songs featured in The Sopranos season 6 episode 4: The Fleshy Part of…, with scene descriptions. Nope, it was 8000.00. The story has traditional fairy tale themes and Masonic elements. He presents a vision of Christianity in which God is forgiving even to the worst criminals, and Tony seems to grow interested in what Bob has to say. I became more and more convinced that a dark philosophy would dominate SopranoWorld all the way through its final hour, a philosophy that was most clearly articulated by Livia in “D-Girl” (2.07): Why does everything have to have a purpose? Although it’s easy to watch this series and think about it in terms of “good vs. evil” or “right vs. wrong,” I think Chase is far more interested in getting us to see SopranoWorld in a, Of all the cultural battles of the Bush era, I found the skirmishes over the theory of evolution to be the most infuriating. “Omni” means “all” or “every,” it signifies “everything.”  Everything is everything…, Treach is great here as “Marvin,” he brings such comic relief to the hour. A lot of fans prefer the earlier seasons, or just plain don’t care for Season 6. 63: 63. The last three episodes were very Buddhistic. Wedding bells on the cards for 'Sopranos' star James Gandolfini TV crime boss James Gandolfini is engaged to his former-model girlfriend Deborah Lin after proposing to … great write up as usual Ron. 4000.00 dollars is how much Paulie pays a month for his mothers room st Green Grove.. Coincidence? And, then, of course, there are the Honorable Mentions: "No Scrubs" by Hunter and Meadow "Love Hurts" by Carmela S "Under the Boardwalk" by Tony Uncle Johnny. When his temper ramped up, his voice reached a record-breaking low (for his character) that was equally-demonic and also a little funny. The Three Bells (first verse) There’s a village hidden deep in the valley Among the pine trees half forlorn And there on a sunny morning Little Jimmy Brown was born. The song, sung by The Browns, reached #1 on the charts in August, 1959. “Sunyata” can most closely be translated in English as “emptiness.”  Barbara O’Brien at Buddhism.about.com clarifies the definition: Sunyata is often misunderstood to mean that nothing exists. Our society is relentlessly cold—the insurance company’s representative at the hospital, for example, is as callous as a mobster. EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHINGAlthough this is the first time that the philosophy that “everything is connected” has so clearly been articulated on The Sopranos, David Chase had previously expressed the idea on his earlier TV series Northern Exposure. You are a gifted writer and I would love to read whatever articles you post in the future. He mentions the anus is a source of pleasure. That wasn't The … He was willing to snitch, anonymously and in shadowy parking garages, either for big reasons or petty ones, but they stood outside the “right vs. wrong” ethos of the Nixon White House and most political ethos in general. Big bells, that could scarcely be put inside a hogshead, bells that would go into a barrel, bells that filled a bushel, and others a peck, stood in rows. (I also left out a screengrab of Woodward’s notebook with the name “Charles Colson” scrawled right in the middle of all the other Watergate players.) The strongest argument against AJ being different from his father is that AJ is soft. If we tolerate intolerance, are we increasing or are we decreasing the sum total of tolerance that exists in the world? Paulie learns that his mother is actually a nun and his father is some G.I. Carmela’s angst comes from guilt and from being always in the same place. 6.5 - Vito checks into a motel. I always look forward to their scenes together. Vito doesn’t say shitting gives him pleasure. This is the tragedy of criminals, who makes others pay for their own insecurity, instead of accepting whatever imperfect love they can find. And damn, I really want to view them. It is $4000. And ofc if the mafia is a metaphor for something wider (modern American society, say), then that would we’re connected to it in terms of participating in it’s negative effects and/or being effect by it. The dialogue about evolution in this hour made me think of those “tree of life” illustrations that are often used to diagram the connections between creatures from the past and the present. I am even less versed in quantum physics than I am in Buddhism, so I’m not going to try to get into the mathematics of it. Nothing is transformed without an “active” past or a need to be. Perhaps this changing outlook is the reason why Tony gave Rudy the E.M.T. Suspiciously Apropos Music: "The Three Bells" by The Browns is playing while Jason Barone is kayaking, implying that he's truly a Fish out of Water with the Barone Sanitation thing. Even relatively mainstream President Bush got in on the act in August 2005, weighing in on an ongoing court case (Kitzmiller vs. Dover Area School District) by saying that the faith-based “Intelligent Design” curriculum deserved to be taught alongside evolution in public school biology classes. Pastor Bob reveals his true colors. It was Colson’s boss Richard Nixon who engineered the “southern strategy” (making an appeal to white, religious, sometimes racist voters) which transformed the Democratic south into a Republican stronghold, and which eventually led to the election of Born-again Christian George Bush in 2000. Frolov and Schneider were longtime writer-producers of Northern Exposure, and worked with David Chase when he ran that show in its final two seasons. Chase seems to suggest in this hour that a simplistic, black & white mentality can be divisive and lead to a nihilistic worldview. The song displayed The Browns’ willingness to explore folk and pop modes in their music and the public responded, making it No. With each passing season, The Sopranos has been growing darker. He even asks Paulie to “make sure he understands his obligation.” Perhaps Paulie is doing more than was implied by Tony by asking for the monthly cost of his mother’s funeral home, but I think “Don’t tell Tony” is a more of a “Don’t you dare fucking bother him with this shit” response. Rachmaninov’s choral symphony The Bells uses a translation of the eponymous Edgar Allan Poe poem from which these lines come. And there is plenty to be anxious about. The Magic Flute (German: Die Zauberflöte, pronounced [ˈdiː ˈt͡saʊ̯bɐˌfløːtə] (listen)), K. 620, is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder.The work is in the form of a Singspiel, a popular form during the time it was written that included both singing and spoken dialogue. How did I miss the Schrödinger reference? Even when it does not seem so. (I think “definitive interpretations” have the effect of a solvent, dissolving all the magic and mystery out of a work of art. Song: The Three Bells There's a village, hidden deep in the valley, Among the pine trees, half forlorn. Schwinn’s idea that “nothing is separate, everything is connected” is a powerful metaphysical counterargument to Livia’s philosophy of disconnection and fragmentation. A heavily distorted guitar joins in, adding a disturbing layer. In the final scene of the series, Tony hears the bell on the door of the restaurant & looks up before cutting to black. Everything does become connected. Carol of the Bells (2- line instrumental intro) Accented syllables in boldface Dm C Bb A7 SOPRANOS: Hark! But I will submit one more point on the matter: this episode’s title actually references soft tissue—the fleshy part of the thigh is literally made up of the stuff. I am sure many viewers saw the calm cuts between Tony and Paulie as Paulie getting fed-up with Tony, that scowl has been present in the elevator, peeped by Carmella, and it is becoming more and more the face Tony sees. Johnny Sack is granted permission to attend his daughter's wedding. The song, sung by The Browns, reached #1 on the charts in August, 1959. The Three Bells (Les Trois Cloches) Music by Jean Villard French lyrics by Jean Villard English lyrics by Bert Reisfeld Performed by The Browns. I’ve been taking this long trip down memory lane to give a sense of the cultural context in which “Fleshy Part” was written and first broadcast. ... on Adeste Fidelis (O Come, All Ye Faithful) and an arrangement of Silent Night. This episode’s argument for relativism and against those certainties that come out of dogma or faith is probably the most important thing to take away from the hour. The Buddhist concept of sunyata is a little complicated to understand, and I’m no expert on it, but I think it may inform these last couple of episodes. In contrast to the fixed, simplistic divisions that Pastor Bob makes, scientist John Schwinn presents a view of the universe in which no divisions exist—everything is connected to everything else. I know it is ironic, but that’s just the way things are. Pastor Bob is some serious kind of creepy. That is a person – as a connected individual – is not only what he builds in his life but also what previous generations have built and that have determined a specific place to be born, a culture where to absorbe, a language to speak, a technology to learn, a social / environmental context in which to prosper or survive. The Sopranos is stocked with characters that would prefer the latter choice, and Chase now adds two more to their number. ( Log Out /  Pussy is providing a powerful lesson but Chase’s universe—like the real universe—is filled with obstacles that sometimes prevent such lessons from coming through clearly: In “Fleshy Part,” John Schwinn gives voice to a shining philosophy of connectivity, but he is ultimately silenced by David Chase—Schwinn’s voicebox is removed after he is struck by laryngeal cancer. But Pastor Bob certainly is, and that’s the reason why he is so averse to the theory of evolution. Livia proclaimed from her hospital room in Season 2 that “It’s all a big nothing,” but John Schwinn—also from a hospital room—now gives us an alternative idea: it’s not all a big, Livia didn’t believe that everything is everything, she believed that everything is, Livia had told her grandson that “People let you down…in the end, you die in your own arms,” and Paulie now says of family members that “in the end, they fuck you too.”. That too is an unintended consequence of decisions taken by Paulie’s mum, aunt and random GI father decades in the past. This is not so. The series has previously suggested these characters find it hard to change, Tony drags them back in or characters go back to old patterns, so if the pastor is wrong on the metaphorical level then the characters are damned. David Chase uses the young monk’s Buddhism just as he uses Schwinn’s physics—as a way to counter the nihilism that perpetually looms in SopranoWorld. I actually had a screengrab of Holbrook as Deep Throat ready to go here, but left it out because I didn’t want to complicate an already complicated write-up even further. Their is also a sexual aspect, Paulie is troubled by the sight of his Aunt/Mother’s legs. I couldn’t help but notice that Marvin, a black man, was dressed in all white and Bobby, a white man, dressed in all black during the scene where he gets shot. His words closely echo the sentiments that Livia expressed to AJ from her hospital bed in “D-Girl”: Paulie is angry because he has just learned that the woman he thought to be his mother is actually his aunt.
