I had a dream that Jack Horner beat the shit outta Puss. The poor cat was absolutely broken, then jack started to clean him up and give him a Lil hair cut. Whole thing was mad uncomfortable.

That part in the Cafe when Sofia cleaned the ice cream form katyas face was everything. It showed Katya that she was deserving of tenderness, that she too was lovable. The music I'm that scene still uses the violins but the piano is used in a whole new way. It's no longer deep and sinister but light and playful. The lighting also reflects the scene and become a golden yellow.
Up until thus point Katya didn't have a symbolic color, really only dressing in white, black and gray, but now she's bathed in warmth.
Thus scene, despite being so short, is used to show what Katya could have had with Sofia. Which makes it so much sadder when she leaves Sofia at the train station.

Ice Pick Joe being an extreme American sterorype is clearly a metaphor used to show how privileged Americans do not belong in discussions regarding life in the USSR. His rudeness is used to show how ignorant U.S. politicians often talk down to every day Russian citizens in a condescending matter without attempting to understand the culture at the time.
Ice Pick Joe's unwillingness to emphasize and see Russians as human is what e eventually leads to him hurting Katya.

The reason Goncharov is so difficult to understand is because its the story of Katya through Goncharov's point of view narrated by Andrey. This sets up the viewer with an unreliable narrator situation where Katya's and Goncharov's intent are blurred due to Andrey's lack of contexts and bias.
Even the end of the film is marred with mystery as we're left to wonder if Katya made the right choice. The final shot of the film makes us wonder if Katya even wanted to get married, since she's not even telling her own story we get very little of her reasoning. Goncharov is clearly seeing her though a filtered lens and Andrey is busy competing with him.
That is tge true tragedy of the movie. Katya is clearly brilliant and fiercely independent but is forced to conform to the expectations of the time and get married. Why else would she choose between two dangerous men?
