life turns inside out on payote,...indians used it to talk to there gods,...Tony saw himself and everything around him in a totally different way,...like when Dylan handed Paul Macartny a spliff for the first time,macca told mal evans,tour manager,...to write down what he was sayin ,macca talked of the meaning of life,said he was thinking for the 1st time in his life,......
i think it was tony's way of saying he finally "gets it" why chrissy kept on doing the drugs despite all of their best efforts to get him off of them. A friend of mine told me once about the effects of dope- they keep chasing that original "greatness".
I absolutely love this episode. There is a sense of profound insight that's captured when high on peyote. Not an easy thing to translate to the screen I imagine without going off into some clichéd imagery.
You'd think Tony was a very happy man. No, he's very miserable. We love him because it seems he does so many things right, has money, and hot babes. But look at the price he has to pay. He knows his soul is tainted and there's no hope he can ever redeem himself. He's commited all the deadly sins.
He doesn't want to redeem at all - actually he starts going to the shrink to get rid of his remorses, of his 'weakness' - he wants to be the perfect predator.
It's a reference to Christopher; Chrissy dies(tony kills him) then he hits it big at roulette then Tony says, "He's dead". then cut to the scene of the dump truck, dumping garbage and unloading weight, another reference to Chris. He says he gets it cause he knows things are changing for him now that Christopher is gone.
The flash on the other side of the mountain is a reference to "Mayhem" when he (as Kevin Finnerty) asks the person whom he's on the phone with what that weird beacon was. Obviously, Tony has now found the answer.

In my opinion this was the most fucked up episode in the entire history of The Sopranos.

Imagine if peyote really did enable you to predict the actions of a roulette wheel, the casinos would be out of business within a day.

Money or no money, I sincerely doubt that Tony could ever get off with a girl like that irl.

The colors and haze in the last scene is crazy.

Christopher is dead so his luck has changed, or so he thinks.
garrettmillerdrums 3 years ago 8
yeah but then he mentions in paulies last ever scene that since christopher died his luck went down to 140.
watch the episode "made in america".
anthonymij 3 years ago
It affects people differently? I dunno. Its just superstition.
garrettmillerdrums 3 years ago
actually, he says "since he's dead my gambling luck's done a 180", meaning his luck has changed for the better.

He's definitely saying "I get it."
