Au where Goncharov and Andrey survive everything, grow old together and sit on a street all day somewhere in the south of Europe

[sunflowerinanoldshoe]

This is my favorite Goncharov post so far because:

1. The concept of an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE for a movie that DOESN'T EXIST is sending me into another dimension.

2. Despite appearing nonsensical, we of course are living in a world where the established Canon of Goncharov is that they do not survive everything and grow old together.

3. Of fucking course Tumblr would imagine a movie with two characters with intense homoerotic subtext, kill them violently with their love unfulfilled, and THEN create AU FAN ART WHERE THE LOVE IS FULFILLED.

And all of it fucking slaps I love this so much

[leebrontide]

I will never tire of Goncharov as sincere yet self-aware pantomime of fandom

[mxlabradorite]

My brain wouldn't shut up until I made this.

Technically Goncharov is a Christmas movie

[ms-demeanor]

Folks we've been over this, the inescapable hold that the mafia has on every character is part of what makes it a metaphor for capitalism in the film.

Goncharov is a *labor day* movie.

[superbeans89]

I had an idea, sorry

[beardedmrbean]

Is this from Muppet's Goncharov?

[assortedcrackers]

It is! Only the directors cut though.

GONCHAROV (1973).

— dir. Martin Scorsese.

[jdragsky]

does anyone have a copy of that old Goncharov tie-in licensed RPG from the 90s? the one with the pistols and the wind-up clock? ive been looking for it everywhere bc i think it would be dope but ebay has failed me

[asneakyfox]

in any given fictional situation, there is exactly one character who is At Fault and every other character involved is a passive victim. media literacy is when you correctly identify and condemn this character

Polish movie poster for Goncharov by Waldemar Świerzy. Due to delayed release behind the Iron Curtain, the film started screening year later in 1974, which is also the year this poster was made. A classic example of Polish School of Posters.

November marks the second anniversary of the best thing tumblr ever collectively made (up), let's celebrate it all month long people!

[valtsv]

had an edible and am now explaining goncharov to the party guests

[valtsv]

they've invented a minor character named ernesto who's only role is to follow goncharov around and say "nice one boss!" whenever he does anything. im so proud of them

[throwsahammer]

I feel like boiling Ernesto Cagliari's role in the story down to "guy who follows Goncharov around and says nice one, boss!" Is really doing his character a disservice. Yes, he's a very on-the-nose parody of the sorts of nameless henchmen and "right hand men" that you see in other mafia media, but he's also a subversion of the trope who embodies the way that powerful men who surround themselves with yes-men eventually find themselves trapped in an echo chamber where they can't separate their own delusions of grandeur from the real world. The entire carnival chase sequence in Venice ends with Goncharov leading himself into a literal funhouse where he's trapped with an (actually nameless!) assassin and surrounded by distorted mirror Ernestos all equally unable to help him find the exit because all they can do at that point is encourage the boss's fruitless andmisguided efforts. It's only once Ernesto is killed by reality violently reasserting itself in the form of the assassin, and the funhouse mirrors are broken in the ensuing fight that Goncharov even begins to confront the immediate reality his actions have created and the broader reality of those people who live outside his self-important bubble.

[amkamikaze]

Can you even see anything? Ernesto was clearly acting as goncharov's emotional tie to the real world. In that "ensuing fight" you glossed over we finally see goncharov actually participate in the violence for the first time. All other times he was directing other people to do it. But in this fight, he never uses a gun and instead goes full hell raiser with his knives and his fists. It's clearly showing him losing touch with reality and his humanity, and instead turning into a beast.

This is only resolved when he meets Ernesto's little niece, who reconnects goncharov with the man he wanted to be before he lost his way. She reminds him of her uncle, who was there for every step of the journey.

[twoblogger]

For me the funniest thing to come out of the goncharov meme was not any of the fake scenes or the nyt articles about it or whatever but the fact that due to the fact that he'd found it funny when I told him about it I got my dad several books by ivan goncharov for christmas that year as a joke fully expecting him to not even touch them BUT to everyone's surprise he read every single one cover to cover and liked them so much that he read dostoevsky and then read tolstoy and then pushkin and then gogol and now barely reads anything that isn't nineteenth century russian literature and also has started watching academic talks about crime and punishment and will randomly bring up shit like the politics present in bulgakov's writing in at LEAST half of our conversations. all because of goncharov

[iamnmbr3]

Not to start discourse but I will be forever mad that every time I go into the Goncharov tag I see people complaining that they watched the movie expecting a soft queer romcom about pure cinnamon rolls and instead they got a complex and violent film about deeply flawed people where everyone dies.

By all means, engage in fandom however you choose. But don’t blame the source material for not being consistent with some random fanon on tumblr. Kinda wild to get mad that the movie about violent, morally dark grey criminals has violence, crime and moral greyness in it. You know? Also, imho given the time this movie was made, the queer coding was daring; this is NOT an example of queerbaiting.

[absolute-lithops-emotion]

i think that if you were to make a goncharov movie it couldn't just be goncharov. nothing can truly be goncharov. my ideal goncharov movie is a mockumentary about the comically troubled production of a failed 2020s goncharov remake, touching on themes of nostalgia and the way we remember (and misremember) and retell stories
