Ok I know Goncharov and Andrey are supposed to be having this whole “will they, won’t they” thing going on, but like let’s be honest. They definitely fucked like 3 times and we all know after what scenes

The Last Hour
~A Goncharov fanfic~
Tumblr media
AO3 Link
Ting. The clocktower chimed for midnight, its hand slicing into Goncharov’s psyche, yet the ringing in his own mind was more deafening. From the tower’s shadow emerged the shooter, his revolver drawn. Goncharov struggled to look up. His shooter’s silhouette came into focus, one that Goncharov had known all his life.

Goncharov (1973) had me hooked from the very first line. You all know what I'm talking about:
"You see, the thing about time is that you never have enough of it; it's either too much or too little. Too much to wait for the one you love to come to you; too little to hold them. Only God has enough time."
I wish I could see it again for the first time.

My favourite part of Goncharov (1973) is when Andrey says “you’ve Gonched your last rov” and shoots Goncharov right in the heart

Idk Andrey the Banker doesn't get enough love in Goncharev. Like, what other film gives you homoerotic shopping with the bestie AND a scene where he reminisces about being strapped by a girl in Belgrade?

Andrey/Goncharov is better than Katya/Sofia because Andrey and Goncharov died knowing how much they loved each other while Sofia will spend the rest of her life thinking Katya abandoned her.

You know, I may just be a sucker for minor characters, but MY favorite scene in Goncharov is when Ice Pick Joe had to choose whether to kill both himself and Andrey or save Andrey and sacrifice himself when he got his leg stuck in the train track in the bridge scene. After he learned everything, he realized that his time was coming up anyway and decided to save the person he was hired to kill.
To me, that shows that Ice Pick Joe was a sympathetic character because he was lied to and cheated out of proper pay the entire time! It also sets up for the betrayal because it makes Andrey question his loyalty to Goncharov. I mean, if one of their worst enemies can give their life up to save you, who says the opposite can't be done for your "best friend"?
And even though Joe saved Andrey's life, he was the one to ultimately ruin it because of his last good deed! Showing that not all good intentions and actions end in good outcomes!
The Rail Bridge scene will ALWAYS be my favorite and I will FIGHT YOU ON THIS

Y'all I have a theory!
You know 007's OST - No time to die by Billie Eilish?
WHAT IF it was inspired by Goncharov? Okay I know it sounds crazy BUT HEAR ME OUT
*obvs this post contains spoilers from Goncharov (1973)*
Let's analyze the lyrics:
I should've known
I'd leave alone
Just goes to show
That the blood you bleed
Is just the blood you owe
At the very end of his life, Goncharov, on the floor and with his clothes soaked wet with his own blood, looks back. It's been a hell of a ride! He's won, he's failed, he got some friends on the road, and many enemies too. He realizes that, even though he's never been alone (Andrey, Katya, his cat, etc), the mobster's life is a lonely one. You can never be sure you're trusting the right person. And so there he is, dying alone, and his blood doesn't even impress him. He's already seen so much blood. He has killed, we know that much. Was it fair? Did those people deserve to die? Goncharov owes a debt, those people's families want him dead. Now he is.
It is implied in "faces from my past return, another lesson yet to learn" too, the faces of those he murdered. Every single one of their faces was carved into his memory; now he remembers. Now he gets to learn what they felt.
We were a pair
But I saw you there
Too much to bear
You were my life
But life is far away from fair
Was I stupid to love you?
Was I reckless to help?
Was it obvious to everybody else
That I'd fallen for a lie?
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
This screams betrayal. Someone Goncharov loves betrays him. Is the song referring to Andrey or Katya? We don't know, but it kinda fits both of them. "Fool me once, fool me twice". Guess what! There were two big betrayals.
Katya's treason takes place on the final act, but there are some hints scattered throughout the entire movie. She loves her husband (she really does), they've been through a lot together. They care about each other. But sometimes love isn't enough. And in the end, Katya leaves. She runs away to Reykjavik, to start a new life, far away from danger and secrecy.
Andrey's betrayal is more striking, though. In a friendly or romantic way, we can't say. Anyway, since the beginning Goncharov and Andrey are thick as thieves (no pun intended,,, well, maybe). They're inseparable, they act as one single soul in two different bodies. They are partners in crime, the perfect tandem in Napoli, they complement each other. There are no secrets between them... Right?
It is first implied that Katya cheated on Goncharov with his best friend. Then, some lines in the fruit scene, the poker scene and Goncharov's death scene, also make us think there was more than friendship between both men (not confirmed by the writers, but yk it was the seventies). Goncharov has literally and figuratively fallen for a lie, as Andrey, his friend, companion, lover, soulmate, is the one who ultimately kills him and sees him fall to the ground, all signs of life disappearing.
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
These verses could be linked to the homoerotic details and interpretations we are familiar with at this point (if you're not, I strongly recommend you go to ao3, there's gold in there). There are many religious references throughout the film. Goncharov and Katya, as well as Andrey, grew up in a religious environment. Yes, different religions, maybe, but the same concepts: honor, family, tradition. It's easy to imagine them having a significant faith crisis when they realised their feelings (Goncharov for Andrey, and Katia for Sofia). In the song, we can see the dichotomy: Goncharov wonders why loving Andrey should be bad if it feels so good. Katya looks at the apple that Sofia is holding, thinking to herself: maybe Eve accepting and eating the apple, falling into temptation, was an unknown door to a new paradise.
There's just no time to die
THE SIMBOLISM IN THIS FILM. It always comes back to time. We are running away from an enemy we can't win. Time will always catch us. We can't fight against time.
The characters continuously have this thought. "I'm running out of time". Goncharov himself speaks about how there isn't enough time in a day to fulfill his wants, to do everything he's planning, but he keeps procrastinating the vital stuff in life. It is only when he is bleeding out that he comes to the conclusion that none of the bills, jobs and arguments were important. They weren't worth it.
So yeah, that's pretty much it!

Absolutely nothing illustrates Tumblr’s penchant for shipping identical, conventionally attractive guys like the fact that so many of the Goncharov posts are talking about De Niro and Pacino when Harvey Keitel is right there. The casting of De Niro as Goncharov and Harvey Keitel as Andrey is what really put the movie over the top, and you guys want to talk about Pacino as who? Mario Ambrosio?
