Coat worn by John Cazale as Ice Pick Joe in Goncharov, 1973, dir. Martin Scorsese

You know Ice Pick Joe is a loose cannon the moment he appears on screen because while everyone around him has dull colors, he’s wearing this. Of course he’s fucking crazy.

Say what you want about Ice Pick Joe, but we stan a guy who:

1. Knows what he wants to do (stab ppl)

2. Knows how he wants to do it (with an ice pick).

Best character in Goncharov (1973) by far. Y’all can fight me about it.

There was a post on here a while back that was like “We don’t see Ice Pick Joe through the eyes of any other characters that’s why it’s so easy to stay disconnected from his as an audience, and why this fandom doesn’t give him as deep of attention as the other characters” but I actually think that that’s the exact point of his character. He loses his kids offscreen early on in the film, and he’s defined by that loss the whole time. It’s easy for us to see him as a simple loose cannon assassin. 

But if you use the absence of other narratively close characters to him as its own lens to view Ice Pick Joe… The entire screen opens up for him. We shouldn’t be saying “I don’t have a character to view him through the eyes of, and thus I cannot sympathize or analyze.” Instead we should be saying “Joe had his humanity taken from him,  and thru that action is how I analyze and characterize the rest of him.”

John Cazale died way too young and only made around five movies, but seeing the Goncharov memes is just lovely to me, because in a way, he made six.
