wish the goncharov fandom would talk more about how scorsese’s blending of mafia genre conventions with plot beats typical to a tragic structure poses questions about how goncharov intervenes in conventional notions of the modern tragic hero, or how the presentation of goncharov as somewhat akin to a messianic figure could tether the piece back to scorsese’s broader directorial concerns with christian sin and redemption that manifest across his body of work. but you all only care about shipping goncharov with andrey i guess 🙄
I KNOW RIGHT like im not super well versed in scorsese’s work and my engagement with Goncharov never went much farther than a fairly surface level analysis of contrasting how it drew from post v pre christian ideals of heroism as divorced from/connected to morality (eg, the odyssean notion of heroism as opposed to a messianic notion) as it manifests in the ambiguous ending that abruptly denies the audience of catharsis while questioning the assumptions we were given about the central conflict throughout the third act, but i can still tell it’s a work that sheds a lot of light on scorsese’s overall canon, so i was pretty disappointed when i came to tumblr and all the analysis was about the fucking anchovy scene
right, and like. if you’re going to talk about the anchovy scene then at LEAST talk about the ichthys motif … but you guys are just horny. as ever.

Promise me u won’t get mad if i tell you. But the way i make tea is i fill a mug with filtered fridge water and drop a black tea bag in and microwave it for two minutes. Then i add a big spoon of molasses and a splash of 2% milk
I was just wondering if i would have more followers if i separated the animals and art and fashion and humor and personal posts into separate blogs and then I remembered I don’t care
