What we know about Goncharov so far:
PRODUCED by Scorsese, but DIRECTED by Matteo JWHJ 0715, get it right.
Robert De Niro, Al Pacino star, along with Cybill Shepherd. Released in 1973.
About Soviets in Naples dealing with the mob. Greatest mafia movie ever made, natch.
Ice Pick Joe is under rated.
Homoeroticism between Goncharov and Andrey is extremely popular in the modern day, bordering on explicit text and desire even through their rivalry and sublimated competing for Katya.
Katya is underused in the movie, and is a complicated character who is both the femme fatale, the center of a love triangle between Goncharov and Andrey, Goncharov’s wife, and also manipulating everyone.
There’s also a scene where Katya kisses Sofia? Tumblr lesbians go crazy.
Had political undertones and commentary, possibly about the failures of the Soviet Union, or leftist ideology vs. realpolitik.
Is over three hours long and kinda slow at times. Violent. Not as easy to watch as the memes and shipping would have you believe.
However conversely film bros who reduce to a badass gangster movie are missing so so much.
Has clock symbolism. Themes of how the characters are trapped in cycles of violence, revenge, hubris, tragedy. Lots of Catholic imagery.
Snubbed at awards, lack of official releases has turned it into a bit of lost media, despite how influential it was.
There have been talks of sequels/remakes through the years but nothing has ever come of it.
My favorite thing about Will Byers is that he is sensitive and traumatized, but he's also snarky and sarcastic. He's not afraid to cry, and he puts everyone's happiness above his, but he will call you out if he doesn't agree with something you say. He will freak out and panic in a violent scenario (like almost everyone else does), but when he needs to, he can pick up a gun and defend himself. He has been called many names and slurs by classmates and his own father, but he is able to accept himself for who he is, and he doesn't let his feelings for Mike get in the way of their friendship. He stays quiet in public, but he will rant in private. He was abused and bullied, but he treats everyone with the utmost kindness and respect. He has given up on ever finding love for himself, but he's honestly somehow the most emotionally mature member of the party, and he actually gives really good advice despite never having been in a relationship.
Will Byers is character with many layers, and too many people reduce him to a sensitive boy who cries all the time, or to a gay kid who hates himself and is in love with his best friend, when there is so much more to his character than that.
If you think Animal rights activists, Climate activists are going too far, you should know you can't defeat evil by knocking on the door. People with power aren't gonna turn good because you tweet stuff or write a blog.
Words matter I am not denying that, I am a decent person today because of the word I have read. But corruption doesn't go away only with words because actions are far more powerful.
One rich person holds more power & wealth than thousand poor people. You only saying stuff doesn't do any good, not really.
Capitalists only cares about profit, they will do anything to gain profits. But we can change that if we gather ourselves, remember a million ants can kill an elephant.
Wanna change the world? Create political groups, rallies, and protests. Politics is for everyone, that's where everything happens. You should not let random rich arseh0le dictate your future.

Today, July 22nd 2021, marks ten years since the domestic terrorist attacks in Norway that made not only the whole country stand still, but sent shock waves all over Europe. Eight people died as a result of a bombing in central Oslo, and 69 people were murdered on Utøya, an island west of the capital. The attacks have been considered the most terrible in modern Scandinavian history.
Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian right-wing extremist fuelled by the anti-immigration and white supremacist conspiracy theories he had read online, decided to take matters into his own hands and put a stop to what he saw as an Islamic takeover of European society (“Eurabia”) and the promotion of “Cultural Marxism”. The enemy in his eyes were the ruling party, who he believed were enabling this change through immigration and multiculturalism as well as the disestablishment of a strong patriarchy. Before carrying out his deeds he had compiled a manifesto, spanning over a thousand pages, of mostly stuff he’d found online but also by well-established right-wing authors. This was e-mailed to many people in power some hour before the bomb, hidden inside a car parked near government buildings in Oslo, went off, alarming many citizens and injuring hundreds.

A bit after five in the afternoon, Breivik arrived at Utøya disguised as a police officer. Utøya is a small island owned and utilised by AUF, the youth offshoot of the Social Democratic Worker’s Party, who were holding their yearly summer camp at the time. Armed with a rifle, Breivik went on a massacre for over an hour before real policemen arrived to arrest him (delayed due to a lack of ways to get to the island), forcing all the summer camp participants to run and hide as their comrades were injured and killed. At least a hundred were physically injured, far more were mentally traumatised by the event. Many of those who died were young, the majority still in their teens.

It’s easy to paint Breivik as a lone madman, an unstable individual who is now safely behind bars at a maximum sentence. But through his manifesto we see his many connections to people and movements all over the world. He describes himself as a conservative nationalist, a fascist and a “counter-jihadist”, and cites authors Bat Ye’or (Gisèle Littman) and Robert B. Spencer, the American Tea Party movement, and blogger Fjordman among others as inspirations. He approves of the Hindu nationalist efforts to expel muslims from India, Geert Wilders of the Dutch right-wing Party for Freedom, and Israel waging war on Palestine. How can he be a sole extremist when are many people sharing his views? How can his massacre be an incident, an anomaly, when he himself claims to have been inspired and radicalised by the writing of others? The attacks cannot be separated from the politics that created them. At the time, the Norwegian political discourse was very centred around immigration, with far-right parties gaining more sympathy and other parties pandering to this by also starting to discuss immigration as a “problem”. When nationalism, xenophobia and islamophobia become ever more widespread and legitimised as a “point of view” in society, the more rampant the extreme utterances become. Many right-wing conspiracy theorists speak of genocide as a last step, where government takeovers in order to stop immigration and deporting those of unwanted ethnicities are first on the agenda. Breivik intended to help this cause by murdering members of the ruling party who he believed were bringing on the downfall of Western society. This should have been a warning, but ten years later fascism is still on the rise all over Europe (and the world!). Some places are close to, if not already at the last, horrific step. One terrorist being locked up does not put an end to this development. But it might not be too late to learn from it.
one thing you need to know about me is that i am constantly having insane galaxy genius ancient greek philosopher level thoughts about everything ever all the time but before leaving my mouth they get filtered through seven layers of autism and come out sounding like a youtube comment made by a nine year old
The people who get angry at Will for not stepping in when El was getting bullied really know nothing about trauma responses do they??
It was literally confirmed in s2 with Will's episodes that he has a mix of freeze responses and flight responses when faced with things he perceives as dangerous. El's bullies reminded him of his bullies and his brain perceived them as dangerous so he froze and locked up. That isn't his fault. That is just his trauma response. He's not a bad brother for not stepping in and beating up El's bullies. And it's clear how much he loves El and how heartbroken he felt for her. When she had her project ruined, he ran up to her crying and promising they'd fix it together.
Will is not a bad brother. Y'all just don't understand PTSD or anything about trauma and stress responses.
I'm gonna cook clear crystal meth and put edible glitter in it and call it Silly Meth
I might be overanalyzing this
But why is Bowser smiling?
Like he literally just kidnapped a man he's NEVER SEEN and dominates him TOWERING OVER HIM saying 'yeah I'm gonna rule the World and I want you to tell me who's the man that looks like you'. And what does he do to threaten him? HE CARESSES HIM AND GENTLY PULLS ONE OF HIS HAIR
Like that's the biggest non-scary (don't remember better adjectives to express what I mean) threatening I've seen in the history pf movies. It's not even "because kids are going to watch the movie and the directors don't want to make Bowser look too evil", because those SAME KIDS have seen Bowser pollute the World out of anger (Bowser's Fury which I've only started watching the walkthrough of)
That's all I have to say for today
She saw her moment and got glossed up for it
