I think we’ve thoroughly deconstructed goncharov by now, so when are we going to talk about the direct-to-video sequel “Son Of Goncharov” that follows the abandoned son of goncharov and katya? when are we going to talk about how the sequel completely ignored katya’s infertility just to give us the mafia movie equivalent of “ace ventura pet detective jr”?

FILM RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PEOPLE LOVING GONCHAROV

I love how many people are really getting into the theming of Goncharov and the depth it displays, but also the interesting characterization and symbolism. But I could see how watching 'just' Goncharov might leave you wanting more. So here is my personal film recommendations for people who want something similar! -The Godfather Part 2: This is the closest to Goncharov I think a film has ever gotten. Essentially it's the story of two people, Vito Corleone and his son Micheal as they both run the Corleone family in different eras and with different world views. Vito coming into America as a marginalized class, and trying to make a safer world for his people in America, and Micheal, who, having grown up in wealth, and seeing himself as an American, is consumed by capitalism and destroys everything his father built. This one is the reason The Godfather movies are seen as cinema pinicales. It's just really good. Stalker: This one is probably the most off base, seeing as it's a sci-fi movie made in the USSR, but one of the things I've noticed people really latching on to with Goncherov is it's theming around humanity, weather we are beings cursed by god, and weather we deserve to be happy with the cruelty we do. Stalker is a much different movie but it touches on all those themes, including 'finding your home in a place that isn't home' A lot slower but just as much of a tragedy. -Goodfellas: After Goncherov, Scorsese stayed out of mob movies for decades until the 90s. A muuuch different movie tonally than Goncharov. If you get bored with slower 70s movies, give this one a shot. It still nails the inherent danger, fear, and corruption the mafia life leads to, but at a breakneck pace! Like if you watched the first hour of Goncharov and were like "I wish something would, like, happen?" The movie you wanna watch is Goodfellas. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy: A lot newer and admittedly not as sexy, but you can see Goncherov all over this movie. Not just because it's about finding a Russian spy, but in the tension and pace. Legitimatly the best spy movie in the last 20 years. Layer Cake: This one *is* as sexy Goncherov. It's basically a British Scorsesse movie, and I know that sounds awful, but it's a lot of fun. It's quick moving, has the same "once you're in the life you can't leave the life, that's just how it is" messaging, and has honest to god maybe the funniest ending I've ever seen in a movie. If you're looking for a movie that is 'fun'. This one is the most fun of the bunch!

Only God Forgives: This movie is just "What if Goncharov was a pathetic mommy's boy?" I know a lot of film buffs are gonna be upset at me, but if you're looking for a movie where Goncharov is as much of a pathetic meow-meow as tumblr makes him out to be, this is the one for you!

my grandfather was in Goncherov! He’s the guy at the beginning with the dark mustache who kills Olga’s son, so glad his copy survived the fire, his girlfriends were all smoking weed and they just rolled it up for a bundt

also, no, my tags aren’t misspelled, the movie was released with three different names, misspelled as “son of gonchorov” “son of goncherov” and “son of goncharov” and it was directed by the guy who directed airplane.

I think we’ve thoroughly deconstructed goncharov by now, so when are we going to talk about the direct-to-video sequel “Son Of Goncharov” that follows the abandoned son of goncharov and katya? when are we going to talk about how the sequel completely ignored katya’s infertility just to give us the mafia movie equivalent of “ace ventura pet detective jr”?
