[enters IMGflip] [emerges 3 hours later with Goncharov (1973) and The Goncharov Trilogy book series memes] Please appreciate what I do for you with nothing more than a vague recollection from reading the books as a teenager and only recently finding out there was an entire movie made from them, apparently.

I love the goncharov mania it feels so vintage tumblr

Discourse about romanticizing mafia aesthetics directly under analysis posts about the movie skewering the ideal of power and masculinity advanced by mafia movies

Obsession with a character so minor even the films own credits refer to him as "Joe (ice pick)"

Reading movie concerned only with men's internal lives and relationships as homoerotic rather than misogynistic

Everyone insisting that we love Katya, #GIRLBOSS, #goodforher But when was the last time you saw a meta post ABOUT her

The dozens of gifsets of the same scene made with wildly different colour saturations than the movie

Picking a movie to be obsessed with just because its on netflix again for the 50th anniversary and creating a fandom from scratch overnight

It feels like the day after an [S] upd8 in here what can i say

Katya was so real for this scene

so have YOU rewatched goncharov ahead of its 50th anniversary criterion release

I don't know if I can ever watch Goncharov again, tbh. I caught it completely by accident back in 2011, at this tiny picturehouse cinema just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh (long since closed down now). It had been raining all day and I was soaked through, so I just decided to see whatever they were showing. Obviously it was Goncharov and, I dunno, I'd really been going through some stuff that year and seeing a movie, all about how powerless we are in the face of fate, but how that doesn't have to rob us of dignity, it hit me hard. I've tried to watch it again since, but I've never been able to recapture that magic, so I tend to go for other Scorsese movies when I'm in that sort of mood.

Very interested to see how tumblr’s usual introduction-adulation-cancellation cycle plays out vis-a-vis Goncharov.

Okay, since nobody asked I will explain further.

Typically, a piece of media can only sustain popularity on tumblr for so long before users begin pointing to its flaws as proof positive that it’s morally bankrupt to engage with said piece of media at all.

Watching Goncharov’s upswing in popularity makes me wonder if it’s cracked the code to circumventing this phenomenon entirely. It may be the perfect piece of media for tumblr as its very nonexistence allows it to remain truly flawless and therefore uncancellable. I guess only time will tell.

Not dying a hero or living long enough to become the villain but a secret third, more hilariously stupid, thing.

"Love is awful. It's awful. It's painful. It's frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It's all any of us want, and it's hell when we get there. So no wonder it's something we don't want to do on our own. I was taught if we're born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it's easy. But I'm not sure that's true. It takes strength to know what's right. And love isn't something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope." ⁣
