This book is crazy it’s making a bank audit the most stressful thing I’ve ever experienced vicariously through a book in my life

#the stress of ​gambling on horse races in toronto > the stress of fighting for your life on everest #brian molony is a stronger person than me because I would’ve just killed myself no doubt #the banker

Piggybacking off Anon’s Dave episode question - why do you think it took finding a tracker on his car for Rio to get suspicious? My dude, Beth rolled up to your meeting - right after you shot a supposed Secret Service agent who was going to assassinate you instead of arrest you - with a brand new printing plate and then fumbled her lie, but it was the tracker that did it? (Maybe this is less question and more rant)

There is certainly a lot of incontinuity to rant about so that’s fair. But wasn’t he suspicious, though? I always assumed he was. She was so obviously lying! I guess I figured he knew she was informing and knew enough to start sweeping his car for bugs immediately after she had him kill “Dave.” People who aren’t suspicious don’t look for evidence. Once he found the tracker he had something concrete to bring to her and accuse her with. But I think he was suspicious all along. You don’t think he was?

One piece of visual symbolism that i don't think we talk about enough is in the dinner scene - throughout the scene we are presented with shots that give the table the appearance that is only occupied on the one side, with Goncharov in the middle - now those familiar with art history might recognize that set up as a visual allusion to the last supper, the thing that i think is super interesting is that in the painting of the last supper directly to jesus right we see john, peter, and judas as our eye travels outwards from the center - well in the scene for most of the dinner we see Andrey in the place of John with Sofia in the place of Peter and Katya in the place of Judas (which was one of the first things that really caught my attention, seeing as normally Katya would be placed closer to Goncharov) THE THING IS after Mario's whole bit with the iconic "one for the table" line there is a bit of shuffling around and Katya and Andrey switch spots for the rest of the scene, placing Andrey in the position of Judas. and its just so.... ahhhhhhhh, it is such a subtle moment and even if you are analysing the scene from that art history perspective you might miss it as the foreshadowing it is BECAUSE for most of the scene Katya is the one in that spot but by the end of the scene it is Andrey NOT Katya who sits in the place of Judas. It's such a crunchy (good) piece of foreshadowing and we so rarely talk about it!

Facts:

Ice pick Joe talks about going back home to his wife A LOT, but we never see her face

Or hear her name

We know his FILs name. We know where she grew up. We know she hates apples. (MARKET SCENE FORESHADOWING) But there's something purposefully withheld.

In the cathedral scene, where IPJ is murdered on the steps of the church he was married at, the glass from his shattered pocket watch obscures her face in the photograph until all you can see is her wedding dress and brown hair

Who else is most famous for wearing white, with brown hair? (stick with me)

Sofia

She's introduced straight after ice pick joe returns to goncharov with blood on his pick, an intentional contrast of what he says he wants and what he does

She's only ever acknowledged by Katya and Andrey - rewatch the dinner scene, goncharov never refers to her even when they're in the same room

I've said before that Ice Pick Joe is a mirror for Katya and Andrey to realise that their dedication to Goncharov will have a dark end

Crazy conspiracy theory: Sofia either IS or REPRESENTS his wife, the woman left behind

Trying to choose Sofia is what leads Katya to betray Goncharov, which causes their downfalls

Sofia as ice pick Joe's wife represents an idyllic past that can no longer be reached because hes choosing goncharov

As Katya's lover she represents an idyllic future that can never be reached because, even though she betrays him in the third act, Katya has still chosen Goncharov, cannot turn away from that

Andreys actions in the final moments of the film have been analysed to death. He is a man haunted by what could have been between him and Goncharov, what Goncharov never would've chosen

Ice Pick Joe is the unreachable past you can never go back to because you chose blood and loyalty

Katya is the unobtainable future you can never reach because you've too much blood on your hands even as your loyalty has finally changed

Andrey is the unrealised present; he's been deluding himself that Goncharov is other than he is, that they could have something

ice pick joe dies. Sofia haunts Katya.

Katya is put out of commission (whether she died or not is another theory). Sofia haunts Andrey.

Andrey betrays Goncharov. Sofia is seen no more, her part in the narrative is over.

Why is such an important character not on the poster? Because then they'd have to name her, Sofia Morelli, and the jig would be up.

Conclusion:

If the cigarette scene had gone further, and Katya really did undress Sofia... would there have been an ice pick wound above her heart?

#the banker #the facts are all there #like. MAYBE shes just a common narrative thread between andrey and katya and has nothing to DO with ice pick joes mysterious wife #but scorsese is intentional #why hide ice pick joes wife (im gonna call her ice pick jane) #why hide ice pick janes face??? #that wasnt cazales wedding picture #he said the funniest scene he ever filmed was IPJs wedding in goncharov because of some shenanigans with the dress #so they did HAVE a face for her. #perhaps a very familiar one #sofia goncharov #(god i wish films would give their female characters surnames) #katya goncharova #katya goncharov #katya x sofia #andrey daddano #andrey daddano #andrey goncharov #ice pick joe #joseph joe morelli #joe morelli #goncharov 1973 #goncharov posting #goncharov #unreality #collective in joke #martin scorsese #goncharov theory

Listen, i love the idea of the entirety of Tumblr teaming up to make up a fake movie and then put in efforts to obsess over the said non-existent movie

But can y'all just give the rest of us clueless Tumblr users some guidelines on how to be in on this? I feel like I'm at school sitting at the outcasts table in a corner and all the popular kids are cooking up some shit and I'm left out
