tried to do my take on the fruits stand scene!! de niro and al pacino's performance was hard to replicate, but i loved the sense of threat and yet subtle desire throughout their conversation here 😔✊ (also i didnt know the detail of ending the convo with the deliberate slow bite was an improvisation on de niro's part! what a guy..)

oh, to be a fruit vendor in naples in the 70s indeed ;o;

Love is just a history that they may prove, and when you're gone, I'll tell them my religion's you.

Goncharov moment

[acatpiestuff]

Quick screenshot study of THAT scene with Andrey and Goncharov... he really did keep his promise to have that drink together after everything was over...

Get yourself a man that looks at you the same way Andrey used to look at Goncharov

No but the scene where Goncharov gives Andrey the apple at the marketplace? It's a mirror of the fruitstand™ scene where the pomegranate Katya gives Sofia is like Hades tempting Perse, and not to greek mythology geek out but giving someone an apple is a proposal in ancient greece and seeing as there's already mythology refs this is perfectly plausible

[intrinsicklutz]

Much has been written about the apple scene between Goncharov and Andrey in Scorsese’s seminal Goncharov (1973); essays dive into the tension between the two men, the symbolism of the forbidden fruit, the flashes of vulnerability expertly displayed by both actors. 

I cannot claim the same scholarly CV as my fellow film enthusiasts, but I still believe it’s worth noting here that: the knife that Andrey uses to split the apple and share it with Goncharov is the same knife he uses in their final confrontation. 

The foreshadowing! Andrey carves the flesh of the apple with love, out of love for Goncharov. At the end, Goncharov says that he’s glad it was Andrey! What is love if not a knife between the ribs of the person you care about the most. If someone had to do it--and they did, Goncharov ensured that through his actions--it was going to be Andrey. 

This film, y’all.

Andrey, trying to be condescending: Goncho

Goncharov, internally: is this a flirtation

[22ratonthestreet]

Andrey grows up taught that survival is sharp and forceful. Goncharov makes it look effortless.

Infuriating.

[cryke-art]

can’t believe that no one’s talking abt how the only time we see goncharov really smile is after the boat scene like what the fuck was up with that...

Goncharov is my tragic little meow meow, my babygirl

the fact that Andrey wrote a whole ass violin serenade for Kayta but it ended up being performed for Goncharov is just AAAAAA AND WHEN THEY LOCK EYES DURING THE PERFORMANCE FOR A SPLIT SECOND
