Goncharov Lore (Gonchlore If You Will) Masterpost

Goncharov Lore (“Gonchlore” if you will) Masterpost

Note: this is regarding the lore made up by tumblr collaboratively about a fake Martin Scorsese film. See the post that started it all and fake poster.

Goncharov was released in 1973. It was written by Matteo JWHJ 0715 and directed (?) and/or possibly co-written by Martin Scorsese. Scorsese’s big name helped popularize the film, but as a result JWHJ 0715’s significant contribution is often overlooked

Goncharov was forgotten and was actually difficult to acquire for many years. This may have been due to corporations hoarding rights and access, the actually mafia targeting distribution of the film, other factors, or a combination of these. This led to pirating of the film, which allegedly led to pirating discourse surrounding the film

There are talks of a Goncharov II or remake

Goncharov is a mafia boss in Naples of Russian origin. His wife/fiancée is named Katya, also of Russian origin. Goncharov may or may not have fled Russia, and may or may not have been pursued by someone trying to get him back to Russia, possibly to face legal justice. One such person trying to do this could be Valery Michailov

Valery Michailov in Katya’s sister. He may resent Goncharov due to his relationship with his sister and due to Goncharov being wanted by the Russian government. He is somewhat patriotic, possibly a former government worker or soldier.

Katya’s last name is either Michailova or Goncharova (although possibly with the wrong suffix). Her relationship with Goncharov is strained, tense, and possibly loveless. She ends up betraying him in the end. This is often seen as a subversion on the typical tropes for women in mafia movies.

At some point, Katya is on a bridge with Goncharov. At some point, Katya points a gun at Goncharov. At some point, Katya is injured on a boat/in a boathouse.

Katya is amicable with someone named Sofia, who has brown hair. She also has subtextual homoerotic tension with her

Sofia may be working class/poorer than many of the other characters are.

Goncharov has subtextual homoerotic tension with someone named Andrey. Andrey is Goncharov’s old friend/best friend/nemesis/enemy/competitor. There is at least one instance of one of them trying to kill the other.

Ice pick Joe is played by John Cazale, making this his 6th movie. He has a famous 10 minute scene with Katya, and at some point dies, also possibly at the hands of Katya.

Mario Ambrosini works with Goncharov, possibly as a lackey or number two. At some point in the middle of the story, he betrays Goncharov and Goncharov tells him that he “never wants to see [Mario] again”. It is unclear what happens to him after that. Mario also has a relationship with Andrey that some have described as “fascinating”. It is unclear how.

There is a clock motif in Goncharov, and a general theme regarding “running out of time” before death. There are a few characters who seem at the very least subconsciously aware of the fact that they have little time until their death. The film also deals with the theme of fate, of death and tragedy being and inevitable thing for these characters.

Goncharov dies at the end of the movie, due to someone’s betrayal.

Goncharov (1973) was heavily influenced by the American Cold War propaganda of the time. Some argue that it plays right into the stereotypes of Russians, others say it is a clever subversion of the propaganda and stereotypes of the time.

Hi, I made a Writing Software you can use!

Reblog if you can, I truly appreciate it

If your plot feels flat, STUDY it! Your story might be lacking...

Stakes - What would happen if the protagonist failed? Would it really be such a bad thing if it happened?

Thematic relevance - Do the events of the story speak to a greater emotional or moral message? Is the conflict resolved in a way that befits the theme?

Urgency - How much time does the protagonist have to complete their goal? Are there multiple factors complicating the situation?

Drive - What motivates the protagonist? Are they an active player in the story, or are they repeatedly getting pushed around by external forces? Could you swap them out for a different character with no impact on the plot? On the flip side, do the other characters have sensible motivations of their own?

Yield - Is there foreshadowing? Do the protagonist's choices have unforeseen consequences down the road? Do they use knowledge or clues from the beginning, to help them in the end? Do they learn things about the other characters that weren't immediately obvious?

THE VIOLIN LESSON — a scene from GHOST NOTES

ghost notes, noel chansorn // piano and violin recital, karl harald alfred broge // young woman with a violin, orazio gentileschi // the violinist, joseph decamp

(transcript under the cut)

Franziska’s first memory was of playing the violin. She was four— or maybe five, it was snowing outside, and father had handed her his old Stradivarius. He took his hands, warm and calloused from years of practice, and placed them onto hers, cold and soft and delicate. He positioned her. Left fingers on the strings, right fingers on the bow, chin on the lower bout. She inhaled dust and old spruce. “This is our legacy, Franka.” Father stated. “This is what you were made for. This will be your life.” Franziska didn’t understand at that moment the weight of his words. She didn’t hear the firmness in his tone, nor feel the way his hands gripped onto hers, almost suffocating. “Now play,” he commanded. Franziska inhaled again. She slowly ran the bow onto the string. A sonorous tone rang out from the violin. It sounded like the light of the moon, glowing white-blue at midnight. With every note, father’s glare unwithered, blooming into a softer gaze. And then a warm smile, one that reached his eyes in a way Franziska had never seen. “My daughter is a prodigy,” he audibly said. It was the proudest she would ever see him.

Fuck off, friend (a Mr. Robot script)

Elliot won't speak to Mr. Robot after discovering about Stage 2, and tries his best to call off the operation his alter ego has set up while he had his back turned.

Mr. Robot used to be half of a pair. Now he's by himself. That is, until Elliot's mute and invisible friend starts appearing when only he is around.
