After 8 seasons, The Entourage has finally ended. And while the last season felt a bit rushed, I couldn't be any happier with the way the series ended.
The only reason why I'm blogging about the season finale, is because while watching it, there was this overarching theme throughout the final ep. To me, the final ep screamed out, no matter what happens, things will always come out better in the end for everyone.
I'll just take 3 examples from the finale. (spoiler alert)
Example 1: E's ending with Sloan.
E is one of the main characters in the show, and he's always got this on again and off again relationship with a girl named Sloan. Building up to the finale, it seemed like all was lost for poor E. That things between him and Sloan would never work out. Alot of things happened. E slept with Sloan's ex-step mom, Sloan was dating some douche actor that was signed under E's company. Looks and sounds bad already doesn't it?
Both E and Sloan did alot of things that on the outside say: "I dont give a fuck about you, I hate you, go to hell." But in reality, despite all the hardship that both put each other through, they still genuinely loved each other. In the end, they both agreed to get on a private plane together, which would take them anywhere in the world, so that they could find some kind of mutual peace in all the mayhem that lead to this point.
I don't know what it was, but seeing the two embrace before the plane took off, the scene was just done so well, and you could tell the director wanted everyone in the audience to feel good about the whole scene. Makes u think, that in the end, maybe everything will turn out ok.
Example 2: Ari and his Wife
Building up to the last season, Ari and his marriage were on the verge of ending for good. If theres one thing anyone will remember about The Entourage as a show, it is that Ari Gold is the most bad ass person in the world. Picture a man, that gets what he wants, when he wants, whenever he wants. Imagine the confidence and strength that a man of this build has. Now imagine this man, stripped entirely of everything.
When his wife wanted to split, Ari's entire meaning to life itself crumbled. He realized that he just couldn't live anymore without his wife and family. He gave up his CAREER. An extremely LUCRATIVE career. A career that he himself PERSONIFIED. And to make matters worse, he LOVED his job probably more than anyone in any profession or field. And he built his empire from the GROUND up.
The thought of not having his wife and family devasted him, and in the end, he gave it all up, just for one chance to make things right again.
His performance in the finale showed how much emotion can pour out of a seemingly emotionless man, and to me it shows how love in the end, is what conquers all.
Example 3: Vinny Chase
This will be a short example. Vinny Chase is the main character of the show, and throughout the show was a huge whore (for a lack of a better word). He dated and dated and dated and just couldn't get it right.
In season 8, he met the one. And all it took, was one conversation, and one glance. And Vinny KNEW, that she was the one. There was no doubt in his heart/soul/mind.
I'm a romantic, and I tend to believe that true love exists, and as cheesy or as unrealistic as movies/cinema may make love out to be, I think people are just too afraid to believe in it. Its right in front of your eyes, and its been done in every movie/tv/music/play/book ever made. It's an idea, a philosophy, and it is real. People shouldn't have to be afraid of it.
In conclusion, I was just very satisfied with how the season finale ended to entourage. It really made me feel good inside. And I can't wait for the movie.
