Michael Imperioli in "Walk Like a Man"

[pretorious700]

Ultimately Christopher's need for a father figure from Tony made him a sad and pathetic character. Not that he wasn't interesting and smart in his own way, just sad.

[inilledra]

@RiotZone121 Tony could not treat him like a son, because their relationship was based on Business. Everything Tony did with Chris was business. Except family meals on Sunday. The rest of their time together, even with Adriana being whacked, was strictly for Business sake. The price of being MADE.

[andrewjacksonbr]

Chris Moltisanti was a child raised in an environment of superficial love and real violence. Next time you see a career criminal from the hood going to jail or lashing out at society through crime or over-the-top ignorance (think loud trash talking and bravado), remember Moltisanti. The real tragedy is his role model was Tony Soprano.

[JohnGolbunny]

@jackwardjw I completely agree. You can tell who are true Sopranos fans immediately. His imbecilic over generalization of Christopher shows he didn't understand the show, nor components of real life (ie: addiction.)

[jackwardjw]

@PeterDaltonFilms Check out mark28105's comment. The term 'sociopath' is, according to that moron, merely an ugly label, and sociopathic personalities don't actually exist. I really do marvel at the level of idiocy displayed on youtube.

[Vidinotes]

@RiotZone121 Yes! Especially the scene in his acting class where he cries to his father to help him. Powerful sh*t

[mark28105]

I love Michael Imperioli's work but honestly, what decent looking man wouldn't do a good job getting paid millions of dollars for playing a junkie badass? am I right or am right?

[BLeSSeDoGkUSH420]

sometimes i feel like moltisanti when my big brother breaks my balls how paulie does to chris and all i do is give to my dad and i can never give enough

[druha10304]

every sopranos fucking video has some dick head like rezan putting background music

[randomusername27]

thats the guy adriana, my uncle Tony, the guy im goin to hell for.

[Mercedesbenzrox]

Chris, your in the mafia !

[Tembelizatorul]

thats Spider from Goodfellas

[LGilmour]

Aside from The Sopranos being one of the most incredible pieces of art I've ever seen, it introduced me to so much incredible music. The Valley by Los Lobos along with Tindersticks Running Wild from 'The Blue Comet' are two of the finest examples.

[Yass72ForEver]

Chris couldn't have hit Paulie since he'd be hitting a made guy; remember what happened between Tony and Ralph in season 3. Besides, from the look on his face when he sees Tony laughing along too, I think he was too hurt to be angry.

When Tony kills Chris, I think it shatters any temptation to romanticise the mafia, particularly Tony. Paranoia and looking out for yourself first and foremost reigns supreme in la cosa nostra. Peace.

[RiotZone121]

@Yass72ForEver Couldn't agree more!

[cshubs]

I think his, "Give, give, give. It's all I ever do," is a line as memorable as any line from The Godfather.

[MrMcNutty91]

@heady13 t wouldnt have killed him, like another commenter said, it was revenge for bobby beating him in tht fight

[Miscarry]

The very last scene, perfect metaphore of cris´s life

[mark28105]

I looked up Michael Imperioli's net worth one day and because he's in other things its said to be around 150,000,000 dollars.

[Quakerbakes1]

Paulies a dick

[Sam8D]

Fuck Paulie, fuck everyone, Chris is the man, my favourite character in the series. I can see much of me on him.

Also, I agree with Phila18Flyers.

[rapidtranq]

The greatest episode of The Sopranos.....absolute masterspiece!

[bnash06]

was always waiting for the tree to fall over again at the end

[nalum87]

i know that chris is a weasel little drug attic..and i hated him at first because he was annoying..but i began to understand him and thought he was a badass..i kinda teared up at the end of this episode when he returned home

[Albanis2]

LOL takes balls to tell a made guy ''you're in the mafia, get the fuck outta my house ''

balls or a deathwish that is..

[eshays69]

@JRilla1879 bobby whacked the french dude because he got in a punch on with Tony and beat him and making him kill the bloke was pay back for beating tony (because it was the first time Bobby killed anyone)

[JRilla1879]

@eshays69

BLOKE??

HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS HALF BRITISH CANADIAN AND HALF AFRO-CARRIBEAN-CANADIAN?? BLOKE NO ONE USES THAT WORD WITH ME IN NORTH AMERICA THEY SAY GUY OR MAN OR SOME STUPID SHIT

ITS BLOKE MOTHERFUCKA

[dirtylos30]

The Sopranos was so great. I don't know who I liked better, Christopher or Paulie

[blazindadevil]

whats the name of this song

[dirtylos30]

The Valley by Los Lobos

[dirtylos30]

The Valley by Los Lobos

[Aardvarked88]

Man, it still kills me about what happened to Chris, he was probably the best character in the entire show except for Tony.

[jewfish424]

watchin that scotch drool outa his fat fukin mouth. ha ha about tony

[bartjuhh12]

best character!!

[GUCCImontana420]

one of the deepest characters in the series!

[trifelife212]

thats what im saying

[Mattprole]

Unlike the majority of characters on this show, Chris is an excellent shot.

[rrs540]

Even the stripper was laughing......cunt. Anyway this just shows how people in the mob really don't give a fuck about one another. It's all about money. By the way if I was Chrissy I would've smashed my glass against his fake ass tanned face and tell him off for being a 70 year old bachelor hahaha. With all the fatasses in that room you would think the Bing would've collapsed.

[greaserman44]

exactly dude. but backin the day, it was about respect and taking care of each other AND money. times have changed

[moparmonster1965]

Paulie's comment just seemed needlessly vicious and out of character for him. This was where the real rift between the family and Christopher was made apparent, truly the beginning of the end for his character.

[trifelife212]

Christopher was misunderstood in so many wayyysss... Songs fit his struggle wit the drug addictio to be accepted and his hustle to provide for his new family....

Mah fav. Character still mad he went out like thatt...

[gantzero7]

I like that serie, is the best of all... at the end of it every single caracther receive what deserves

[downtownford]

@gantzero7 so bobby deserved to die?

[JRilla1879]

@downtownford

bobby

lived by the gun so he died by the gun

so yes he deserved it

he whacked a french guy for pay

so bobby knew the life he choose

[downtownford]

@JRilla1879 good point

[JRilla1879]

@/downtownford

thx

[TampaFlorida813]

Was it the french guy that robbed Artie?

[nflizsoft6]

technically yes, but Artie took the risk so it was pretty much his fault.

[heady13]

no, he killed the french dude so he wouldnt get killed by tony.

first and only man he killed.

[alexkrycek21]

This was Imperioli's best episode by far.

[stevenv27]

Anyone think that chris putting that (dead?) tree back in the ground represents something?

[snappycruise]

he just kill someone nice but care so much for the lil'tree :)

[DrunkenDwarv]

Someone nice? Chris was looking for a friend, someone to talk to, but that guy blew him off. That's not exactly being nice.

[MrRoboto81]

I like Paulie, but that was out of line...he deserved to have that glass smashed over his head...and then another one on his face just as a warning not to do it again.

[madamech2007]

chris should of smashed that glass over paulies head

[calilion]

cool video great music

[dimonalmaty]

what da fuck! He was carrying charged gun in his trousers. Dangerous and harmful for the gun

[MrsDeNiro]

Christopher & Tony were my faves on the Sopranos, miss that show!

[jleite07]

best episode in the series

[RockyWhyNot]

Love, Love, LOVE this actor...Never get tired of lookin' at him.

[ballihassan]

i hoped so much that he killed pauli

[toolover10]

Pipe down there thumbs down comment boy.

[trainer05]

He is a great Actor

[pizzaisyummy86]

pause at 2:17 what a fat disgusting disgrace of a human being. why the fuck would Tony let that retard in the club. triple chined fat asshole.

[KidKabala]

LMAO. Benny's face is priceless 2:23

[deainsteph]

Chris was always my favorite as well.

[ZipBlockBloody]

My favorite Soprano character. R.I.P Chris and Ade

[lazarus0202]

This is a great analysis of issues involved with sobriety-- and loyalty. People I know who have tried to clean up from alcohol etc. had similar things to say as M. Imperioli's character.

This wasn't just a show glorifying the mob. It went pretty deep.

[tickedoffnow]

I luv Christopher

[marvelkid789]

why did chris shoot that dude??

[stacksmoto90000]

Actually, he shot him because Chris had just told JT that he was willing to become a rat. If JT was to ever mention this, chris would be killed.

[Britt110x]

OMG love this clip... great job!

i feel bad for chrissy as a character... he tried to get away from the drugs and alcohol and got disrespected for it and the lack of support was what lead him to his downfall

[Krowsnose]

I think they were both selfish. Chris was more emotional and impulsive about it while Tony got caught up in anxiety and had many ways of justifying it to himself.

[ILoveRavenc]

oh yeah sure.

EVERYTHING in life that doesn't follow these rules of LIVING established by people who r hypnotized by tv and other sources of mass media r SCUM eh?

[shanebrennan0123]

I agree with Chrissy, Tony is a selfish bastard.

[stacksmoto90000]

Benny laughs like a weirdo

[smelkos]

i love how at 2:18 that stripper whore is laughing at paulies joke... fuckin dumb bitch... that pisses me off lol.

[smelkos]

or 2:14 ...

[mcshobe2008]

I like Chrissy a lot, but one of the problems with him was he always wanted sympathy and for everyone to care about his problems. He was immature in the fact that he thought the tragedies in his life should buy him a level of sympathy from the other guys in the crew. But all these other characters had more than enough of their own shit, own tragedy to deal with. He only saw his problems and didn't realize everyone else from Paulie to Tony to whatever had their own plight.

[snappycruise]

remember his parents, nothing great to take example from; tony:same, bad example and educator; Chris was too young and becoz of tony graduated too fast as a captain in the family.

he was so funny and ftragic

[reuterlappland]

First of all great video! Loving it!

Second - wonderfull acting by Michael.

Christopher as a character is so cool, and you, in a way, actually get to sympathise with him. Him and Pauli were the best, especially in the episode with the Russian.

[AntyNedza]

kool video 5/5

[MikeNJ27]

my favorite line is from pussy. She never wore panties.

[1bambam111]

In the episode Heidi and Kennnedy (where Chris dies) can anybody tell me the song thats playing when Tony is in Vegas and meets Chris's ex fling for the 1st time. Cant find it 4 shit!!! BTW, Micheal Imperiolli being the best actor-agreed! His character should have had a more appropriate demisse . Christpoher was too volatile 4 such a bland death.

[ThePennsylvaniaDouch]

i found chris's death anything but bland. it was the kind of surprise the sopranos is famous for pulling over your eyes, the moments that come out of nowhere, another moment like that is when vito is caught blowing the security guard. some large moments, like pussy's death or the war between new york and new jersey, have large buildups. the other moments just come out of nowhere but are just as gratifying.

[triunp]

The song you might be lookin' for is: outta my head by M Ward...hope it is

[MohanndasChutney]

I dug out my Sopranos DVD, and strangely, there isn't any music during the scene where Tony first visits the stripper, but when they're boinking, it's The Pretenders.

The Sopranos Music Guide lists a song called "Outta My Head" by M. Ward during that scene. Maybe they couldn't get the license for the DVD.

As for Chris' death: remember, Tony Soprano (and most everyone else on the show) are sociopathic to some degree. They're anti-heroes, not heroes -- you're not supposed to like them.

[Phila18Flyers]

Christopher should have landed one on Paulie. That's his daughter he's talking about. I mean look what Tony did to Coco after he made comments to Meadow.

[holyhell90]

i cant believe Tony Fucking laughed. thats his god daughter, Chris loved Tony more then the world. i mean when he saw Tony laugh he gave up and left

[smelkos]

man he fuckin made a movie about tony that ended up with his head chomped down by a cleaver.. If i was Tony i would of lost all my respect for him... and thats probably what happened, instead of defending him... he went against him. by that point tony and chris had nothing going for each other...

[BLeSSeDoGkUSH420]

@Phila18Flyers he cant hit paulie he's the underboss and he's christophers superior

[Mercedesbenzrox]

@BLeSSeDoGkUSH420 Paulie was not underboss, Capo.

[Tokopol]

@Mercedesbenzrox Paulie was promoted to Underboss in Season 6. Even before that, he was captain when Chris was only made, and still made since before Chris was born.

[spuzzum888]

JT go byebye

[gene53945]

poor jt always taking shit and bam, fate finally shovels shit in his face.

[Aardvarked88]

Michael's acting in the sopranos, especially in series 6 is some of the finest acting I've ever seen on TV. Absolutely outstanding.

[DFITZ13]

probably in the top three of sopranos episodes, christopher is one of the most amazing characters ever, michael imperioli is a legend, the song combined with that beautiful ending give me shivers everytime. Paraleled perfectly with a first season episode when chris closes the door an chooses his un promising life of crime. powerful. bes

tv show in television history

[bassem989]

it pisses me off the way paulie treated chrissy man fuck chrissy was my favorite they always treated him like shit when he has so much potential

[noamshouseparty]

An amazing episode, one of the best in the Sopranos. And what a song by Los Lobos.

[Patriotic13]

Not only best show ever, christopher is such a good actor (michael imperioli) i didn't like that he died the way he did. I really like this song too makes me relax

[xThemalemodelsx]

One of the best episodes ever. Why did chris have to DIE??????

[Johnny8109]

Because he was scum, much like Tony and the rest of them ..

[xThemalemodelsx]

So why did Bobby have to die? That was the following episode though.

[Johnny8109]

Hmmm ..cos the Lupertazzi´s wanted that blue comet train set for themselves and he was about to buy it : ) C´mon it´s a TV show, I dunno lol ..

[xpoondiggy]

Phil put a hit on The Sopranos 2 top men all to be hit within 24 hours so there wouldnt be any get back....they wanted tony, silvio & bobby all to get hit in 1 night...they mention paulie but passed

[xpoondiggy]

3 top men...

[FGN123]

Yeah well, that bugged me a bit about the show. Like oh hey it's the last few episodes, let's kill off the entire cast.

[p2pjoe]

yea i mean in episode 20 of season 6 i could have sworn bobby, tony and silvio would die in like 2mins successsion of each other.

[bitchcakesz]

the strongest and most powerful sopranos scene is when chrissy is talkin about his relationship with tony on the stairs (00:37-1:30. Chrissy = best sopranos charecter. great vid btw

[FunBot]

Great episode, it has always pissed me off the way Pauly treats Christopher sometimes. I like the song a lot.

[iamjohn89]

been lookin 4 dis 4 a long time thanx m8

[CristoforaMoltisanti]

This is great! Michael is such a great actor. He can actually make an unappealing likable. And he's adorable too!

[bluemileDOTca]

please message me this song if possible, thank you

[bluemileDOTca]

sorry nevermind, i read on..thanks

[lyn747]

yeah its spider, love the song by the way

[bustadrop]

Awesome man...good mix with the end of the episode and the song...

[marcel52789]

is this spider from goodfellas.

[allansfriend]

I Love Michael Imperioli!

[henrymercy08]

POWERFUL SHOW !!

[nwa2000]

the best episode ever!!!!!

[wheredoescouragecome]

I've been completely fuckin' OSTRAFIED.

[Hutchence88]

i love this song and it fits chris' situation perfectly. if you're a sopranos geek like me compare the end of this episode to the end of the episode "D-Girl" in Season two where Chris has to make a choice whether or not to return to the life. in the episode after that one he gets shot and in the episode after "walk like a man" he's killed! the parallel is beautiful!

[Darksilver77]

wow the ending scene to this ep is also my fav ever scene in sopranos ever, i thought i was the only one

[rezan]

thanks

[AsmallNoise1]

I totally agree. Nobody ever commited music to film quite like The Sopranos. And this final scene when tnis incredible song plays and chris has just killed a man and is drunk out of his mind he stumbles up to the house and picks up that little tree and replants it. It gives me chills.

[kaijaidill]

I love this song; it reminds me so much of the barrio in Tucson...well all of Tucson

[jleite07]

my favorite scene of the entire series is in the closing scene of the walk like a man episode where this song is playing and he is stumbling up to his house

[rezan]

mine too. thnx for the nice comment

[narcissa912]

Poor Chrissy :(

[logofixion]

hes so..sexy

[narcissa912]

great vid!

[rezan]

The Valley by los lobos

[gizzajobla]

whats the song?
