He gets shot. It's all in the perspective/viewpoint of the camera. There's a pattern to the scene. First the bell rings, then the camera shows you Tony look up, then we see a person walk in from his viewpoint, looking out his eyes. This happens 3 or 4 times. The last time the bell rings we see Tony look up, then we switch to his viepoint, and... black. The screen going dark is the moment he dies. This is forshadowed by a conversation in an earlier episode where they're talking about what happens when you get wacked and someone says, I don't think you ever know, it just goes black and that's it.

Not this shite again.

How many years later and we are still discussing it?
Just like the writers planned it.

Well, they foreshadowed the frick out of him getting shot in the back of the head.

MessagePosted by Marciano1I think the whole point of the final scene was to show you what it was like to be in the mind of Tony Soprano. Every moment is tense and he's always looking for potential enemies around him. It kind of gives you an idea of why he was in therapy and had those panic attacks. His life is full of suspense. Every second of every day.
I read this somewhere too. The point was to give you his perspective as you being him. The quick cut to black is what you see in death. It's all goes dark.

I don't even think it's a question. This is what happened.

Apparently, we're going to have one of these threads every couple of months.
Tony was killed. The fricking creator and writer of the show says so.

Would make sense for him to be dead, I refuse to see it that way..

Beautiful ending. That last 2 or 3 minutes were so tense, even though nothing was really happening. The writers of this show were just masterful. I'm watching Breaking Bad now, and while I like it, it feels like cheeseball shite sometimes. Too much Deus Ex Machina. Only on season 2 though...

I hated that ending, but I've learned to live with it. I think he gets shot right in front of the family by the members only jacket guy too....

Chase said in a recent podcast that he hates how some shows feel the need to make obvious statements with the season or series finale. It is pretty clear what happened but if you think different then that works for you too
He also laughed at the bloggers with all of the Easter egg BS in the diner.
The podcast is called the moment with Brian koppelman on the grant land network on iTunes from 10/30/2014
He also said Tony. Is not dead. Chase is just butthurt people didn't like the ending

Like Elvis..he's as dead as dead gets. Period.
Nothing. Zero zip nada says he lives in that last set piece.
Sorry. The bad guy dies in the end.

He's alive, well, and fine.
Kind of the point of the entire show. Tony is a survivor, ruthless, and cold hearted and he does exactly that, survives.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid.
And yes, she dropped it on purpose.
