Goncharov Is Such A Perfect Encapsulation Of The Amidst Tragedy The Love Was There. It Didnt Save Anyone

Goncharov is such a perfect encapsulation of the ‘amidst tragedy the love was there. it didn’t save anyone or anything. but it was still there. and that has to count for something. it has to.’ aesthetic I’m so in love with tbh like honestly I’m weak for the things that humans can and will do because of their awfully beautiful humanity.

Look if a guy says goncharov is his favorite film, run in the opposite direction. If a girl says it’s her favorite film, marry her. Hope this helps!

Some of the Bleach art I did for swordtember

imho the tarnishment of yellow as something that is off-white, not pure etc also reflects how Ice Pick Joe never really rises above his birth. you are born low and you die low with nothing but the ice and cold, just like the split second frame of him being born in that dead cold of winter in a dilapidated house.

I love that Goncharov is getting attention again, it's a great classic, but I am sad that everyone is only focusing on the characters when the cinematography and symbolism was so rich.

Like Ice Pick Joe, did you know his death was foreshadowed by the color yellow? I wish I had screenshots, but everytime they mentioned death, dying, mortality, sickness, etc, there is something yellow or gold on or near him. Like how he was playing with the gold watch when the conversation about Jimmy Bean getting "iced" took place (Ice and snow were another big symbol with Joe and death both) or when Goncharov opens up about seeing his mom die, Joe is standing in front of yellow curtains. All of this comes to a head when he dies wearing the yellow coat in the dirty yellow snow.

I could go on about this movie, (don't get me started on the use of red as a symbol of power) but in between all the shipping and character study, I just want everyone to remember how much visual art went into this film.
