I just had an idea with horrible implications:

Many people have previously speculated that Henry may or may nor have been killed due to his incompetence. Or at least that was at the beginning since in nightmare mode he's alive but honestly 1. I don't think he got fired traditionally and 2. I don't think he's on therapy only...

Henry may or may not have been on a psych ward, Henry MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE RECIEVED A LOBOTOMY, Henry may or may not have had such an acute crisis that it made him steer the wheel to the most drastic choice to get everyone killed and then let life do whatever it wants with him; ergo, prompting the previous two situations.

But that is just me.

how did your parents meet?

*shrugs* I don't know, probably saw each other in the waiting room for a lobotomy.

I'm sorry, but I just don't think jokes about lobotomies are funny. I don't think the deliberate physical destruction of millions of mentally ill and mentally disabled people's brains, often without consent, frequently just to make them easier to manhandle, is a laughing matter. I think it's a humanitarian tragedy

Also. what's the Swap! version of Lis like?

Greetings Anon

Oh despite his advanced age he is an overeager neurosurgeon who wants to help as many people as possible, and he just has the right solution for everyone who comes to him.

With a surgical hammer and a knitting needle everything can be made better.

Or to say it differently, Swap Lis tries to solve every medical problem, by lobotomizing the patient, he has lost his license ages ago and isn't allowed to enter any hospitals anymore.

Yours sincerely

Bowler

I know most of the fandom is enthralled by how the relationship between Andrey and Goncharov develops (and I am too! it's a beautiful film, with a compelling power dynamic!), but I really think we need to talk more about Ice Pick Joe.

and more specifically, we've gotta talk about his ice pick, and how he uses it.

it's implied that he's killed a lot of people with that ice pick, but only one of those deaths is shown in the film. it's a hard scene to watch, and some people might want to skip over it, but I think the brutality is part of the point. there's a reason that it's played out with such excruciating detail.

see, ice picks are used as weapons all the time in movies, usually with a stab to the throat or ear, leading to a quick but bloody death. but in Goncharov, the scene is played out slowly, with Joe tying Amarro to a chair before almost carefully putting the pick through his eye socket.

sound familiar to anyone? it should. for a lot of reasons.

Amarro Fiamberti was the name of the first psychiatrist to ever perform a transorbital lobotomy. it was only due to his research that Walter Freeman was able to come up with his own lobotomy technique: one involving an ice pick.

Walter Freeman died in 1972, just months before Goncharov went into production.

and then there's the fact that Joe's ice pick is stolen (where did you steal it from, Joe? from whose operating table?) and the implications that he has his own struggles with mental health (the mention of his sister's murder, the humor he uses as a coping mechanism, the camera angles that give a sense of unreality to any scenes that are from his perspective).

I don't think any of that is an accident or a coincidence.

in my opinion, Ice Pick Joe's story is a tale of revenge - not against someone who wronged him, but against a medical procedure that wronged thousands of people.

and murderer though he may be, he's still my favorite character.
