Goncharov Beloveds: The FINAL Full Collection

And it only took a couple weeks past the meme’s prime to finally finish it for real

[throwupgirl-deactivated20240906]

The irony of Lev truly becoming “Goncharov” after he marries Katya

In films, a married woman is forced to remove her sense of self to the role the partiarchy has assigned to her, but here, after Goncharov denies his feelings for Andrey for the final time (or so he thinks), he becomes a mob boss. He has to become the masculine, and unflinching Goncharov. While Katya does suffer from her marriage, it is only after she’s married that she discovers who she is outside of her family, falls deeper in love with Sofia, and makes deals behind her husband’s back, making her also a vital person in the mafia.

It’s freakin ALWAYS Scorsese this, cinematic masterpiece Goncharov (1973) that, where the HELL is the respect for Fyodor Doestoevsky for providing the beloved film’s original source material, the seminal 1879 Russian novel The Brothers Goncharov?

SURE Scorsese refined the storyline and updated the setting for contemporary audiences, but do you REALLY think he could’ve invented the dynamic tension between Andrey-Goncharov-Katya-Sofia and the existentialist themes of Time Inevitably Bringing Us All to Ruin from whole cloth???? Bestie, I’m sorry to say that’s the filmbros getting in your head

I think there’s something so personal about the shoe scene. The first time we found out sofia is disabled is when katya kneels down to give sofia her shoe to wear, like something out of a cinderella scene. When she lifts her long dress in an almost sensual manner, we see her prosthetic leg and katya never makes a fuss or acts surprised which means she always knew. And maybe she’s done this before. And the way she looks up at her... the sexual tension between them.

Also, sofia is almost always presented as completely unshakeable, but we know for a fact that someone has tried to kill her (confirmed when she mentions the bomb from her past) and that may in part have led to her reoccurring dreams of immortality.
