Happy 40th Birthday, Andrew Garfield!

— August 20, 1983 🎂🎉✌🏼

It’s time to celebrate his wonderful life that makes so many other people happier with their light, charism and their art! Long life, babe!

"So, thinking about the draw to faith and spirituality [in the work], I think it's more about the breaking of faith. It's about growth, really. I'm drawn to that, just widening. Widening consciousness. Widening the heart, maybe, as well."

Redemptive (?) Violence in Two Scorsese Films: Goncharov (1973) and Silence (2016)

Tons has been written about the parallels between Goncharov and Scorsese's other mafia movies. But thematically, i wonder if we're not collectively missing something by considering its similarities to Scorsese's definitively non-mafia masterpiece, Silence (2016).

On the surface, these two movies don't seem to have a lot in common. Goncharov is--well, you know the plot. Silence (2016), on the other hand, is a historical drama about a persecuted Christian community in feudal Japan. And man, is it brutal. More brutal then all of Scorsese's mafia films combined. (I'm not joking here. After the initial scenes, I could not continue watching this film in increments longer than 5 minutes. It's a good film--a great film--but I absolutely do not recommend watching it to anyone.)

Silence, for those who aren't familiar, follows a pair of Portuguese Jesuit priests trying to shepherd their Japanese parish through government persecution. It's hard to watch because it's just one brutal martyrdom after martyrdom in this small community.

But unlike with cinematic narratives of Joan of Arc or even of the crucifixion of Christ himself, nothing good seems to come out of this sacrificial violence. We see people being burned alive, being crucified, being humiliated and tortured and killed in a myriad of ways--and there is no redemption in it. The martyrs don't express unalloyed joy in the face of their suffering. The musical score never wells up to ensure us that, yes, this pain and death was worth it.

It's just grim and awful and meaningless.

It's so bad that the Portuguese Jesuit missionary who serves as a priest in the community starts begging the believers to deny Christ publicly. They can believe it in their hearts, in the safety of their homes and village, but if anyone asks, they are not Christian. He assures them God will forgive them, because he cannot imagine this meaningless slaughter is what God wants.

Ultimately, Christians in the audience are prompted to wonder if even the crucifixion of Christ was worth it, if it was truly redemptive, or if it was just as grim and bleak and purposeless as every death portrayed in the film.

When I rewatch Goncharov, I see a young Scorsese struggling with the same themes. Sure, the characters in the film are terrible people, nothing like the good-hearted Japanese peasants portrayed in Silence. But Scorsese plays with the same ideas around redemptive violence. In Christianity, the death of martyrs is supposed to be redemptive by instructing and giving hope to other Christians. In Goncharov, we expect the deaths of Ice Pick Joe and Bruno and all those other horrible people to be redemptive in the sense that they are getting their just desserts, and by sacrificing them on the altar of death, we *should* be saving countless lives (because they can no longer kill).

But in Goncharov, these deaths are just as meaningless as the ones in Silence. Nothing good comes out of these people dying; the slaughter continues unabated. If anything, the pace increases, and the characters we thought could be redeemed fall further and further into hopelessness and despair.

The problem with Goncharov, and Scorsese's other mafia movies, is that the thrill of living underground, of having an alternate society, of pursuing riches and power at the expense of good--all those things seduce the viewer into romanticizing the struggles the characters go through. Scorsese's point might be that the violence is pointless and better avoided, but the audience is hesitant to adopt the same view.

So in a very real sense, Silence is a continuation of what Scorsese was trying to do with Goncharov. 40-plus years on in his career, though, Scorsese has learned to strip away every vestige of romanticism to ensure he gets his point across. No one is rich, no one is sexy. No one is engaged in a decades-long quest for revenge. No one is trying to set things right, to correct things, to make things even.

In Silence, violence is stripped down to its true essentials. It is cruel. It is unjust. It offers no hope.

These are also the things that Goncharov communicates. But they are communicated in a more palatable form, in a film you don't have to pause every 5 minutes just to get through, in a narrative where you can distract yourself with glamor and romance and what-ifs.

Look, I'm not condemning Goncharov fans for enjoying those things about the movie. Scorsese wanted you to enjoy them. He put them in there so you could actually get through the movie and receive its message at the end.

There's a risk that you won't get the message. But there's also a risk that you won't get the message in Silence, because chances are you're going to stop watching it before it's even finished.

And carrying out that narrative in both ways--in one version that is glamorized and easy to swallow, in another that is sparse and almost impossible to bear-- that's its own kind of genius.

#goncharov #silence 2016 #martin scorsese #goncharov meta #unreality #goncharov is unreality #silence however is a very real film and I will always regret watching it #but also not regret watching it #and I think everything I said about it is probably fairly accurate but let's face it I could not watch it more than once so #there might be some slight inaccuracies but they aren't intentional #also why can't I find the community tags in my options right here in my editing area on my Android app #cuz I'm pretty sure I need to tag this for violence #long post #also thank you Wil Wheaton for Bruno #seriously why haven't people up and run with that yet? #or have they and I just haven't seen it #tw violence #cw violence

Slashers Love Languages

In which I go over some slashers love languages and why. :) Includes Thomas Hewitt, Michael Myers, Brahms Heelshire, Lester Sinclair, Harry Warden, SoTL and NBC Hannibal.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Thomas Hewitt

Quality Time ,, Thomas loves to spend time with you, whether it’s just by sitting in the same room to even doing the same activities. He just enjoys being around you and mentally pouts whenever he’s forced to move away.

Gift Giving ,, Thomas loves giving gifts to you, small trinkets he’ll find off his victims or around town. He’ll even try to make you some out of scrap metal and debris. He enjoys seeing your face light up whenever he gifted you something. It was a gratifying exchange.

Physical Affection ,, Although Thomas isn’t much of a physical guy, he does enjoy when you hug him or give him small kisses. The actions are always so sweet, it’s hard to not like them. He also enjoys giving affection, enjoying hugging you the most. He feels calm when he holds you, protective even.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Michael Myers

Gift Giving ,, Michael isn’t a man of words or touch, instead, he prefers to show his affection through the form of gift giving. When he’s stalking his victims, he often steals some of their belonging to bring to you, objects he thinks you’ll like.

Quality Time ,, Alongside acts of service, Michael enjoys spending time with you. He likes knowing where you are, being aware of your current status in case anything might change. He doesn’t say this but your presence calms him in ways he’s never been calmed. Its odd for him at first, but he learns to accept it and take it as it is.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Brahms Heelshire

Physical Affection ,, Brahms is a major physical person, always demanding attention in the form of hugs, kisses, or sometimes sex. He’s never been in a relationship before and has been starved of affection growing up, leaving him with a hunger that can rarely be fully satisfied. There is never a moment where Brahms isn’t touching you, even if the touch is small such as a hand gently holding the bottom of your shirt sleeve as he watches you cook.

Words of Affirmation ,, Brahms enjoys receiving words of affirmation. He enjoys being told he’s done something good. However, because he enjoys hearing those words so much, he assumes you would too, leading to him constantly affirming you with anything you do. Even if the action is pointless, Brahms will give you his approval. Even when you’re doing nothing, Brahms will give you his approval. Affirmations will spill from his lips more than they spill from yours.

Quality Time ,, Another love language of Brahms is quality time. He’s always scared that one day you’ll leave so he tries to stay near you as much as possible. He wants to hang out with, love you, for as long he can in case the worst comes to fruition.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hannibal Lector (NBC)

Quality Time ,, Hannibal enjoys hanging out with you, speaking and getting to understand how you work. You’ve always been a curios subject for him, one that he wants to study until he knows you from inside to out. Spending time with you is one of the major ways Hannibal is able to accomplish this.

Words of Affirmation ,, Hannibal likes telling you when you’ve done a good job, when you’ve excelled in something you thought against. He also enjoys singing you praises when you’re alone, small things to bring a smile to your face. He likes physical contact but prefers to verbally express his affection to you. After all, words are his strong suit.

Gift Giving ,, Whenever Hannibal kills someone, he’ll save a souvenir for you, one he’ll give to you as a token of his love and appreciation.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hannibal Lector (SOTL)

Acts of Service ,, Unlike the other Hannibal, this one prefers to provide you services instead of giving gifts. He enjoys helping you relax, taking stress off your shoulders, and more. He feels he needs to help you at time, still being mindful that you’re strong on your own. He wants to see you calm so he’ll provide any service he can to bring that want into play.

Words of Affirmation ,, Similarly to the NBC Hannibal, words of affirmation are a shared trait. Hannibal prefers to both receive and give words of affirmation. He likes to know that the love comes from both sides. If you don’t return his words, he’ll keep bugging you till you do.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Harry Warden

Physical Affection ,, Harry enjoys physical affection as much as anyone else, however, he prefers it in a more domestic setting. He enjoys sleepy cuddles while making breakfast, good morning/goodnight kisses, laying next to you while watching movies, and the gentle kisses he’ll give you on your forehead before he leaves. He likes seeing you happy and you never fail to show your smile when he caresses your skin.

Acts of Service ,, Harry loves to give you massages after you come back from a long day at work. He likes receiving them, however, he enjoys rubbing the stress out of you back more. He doesn’t like the fact you work so hard, wanting to provide from himself. However, due to your circumstances, you’re forced to work till it feels like your back will break. Harry, wanting to provide for you, will massage your back till it feels brand new, no matter how tired his arms get.

Gift Giving ,, Another one of Harry’s love languages is gift giving. He likes gifting you jewelry, especially necklaces because he likes the way it looks against the skin of your neck. He also enjoys the way your face would light up at the new piece, you’re always so happy to wear the jewelry his buys you. He thinks it’s cute the ways your eyes will shine at the jewelry, it brings him joy and causes his heart to swell.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Lester Sinclair

Gift Giving ,, Lester enjoys making little ornaments for you out of the remains of the animals. He’ll make necklaces and charms to hang on your belt. Whenever you wear his gifts, a mixture of pride and love will swell within him at the sight of you appreciating the gifts he crafted for you.

Quality Time ,, Outside of hunting, Lester is a sucker for quiet snuggles. He enjoys laying down with his head in your chest, you’re arms wrapped firmly around him. He likes to know that you’re laying right below him, happy to hold him as he rests his eyes after a long day of hunting. He deeply enjoys it when you rub his back, something that practically gets him purring like a cat.

Physical Affection ,, Lester is a major physical guy, enjoying anything as long as it means he gets to hold you, kiss you, or anything that allows him just to touch you. The mere contact of his skin against yours is enough to calm him. Whenever you move away, he deeply craves your touch until you allow him to touch you again.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

That’s all for today. See you again soon <3

I wonder if D3's Betruger was inspired by Anthony Hopkins.

Because Olivia Pierece was said to be inspired by Tilda Swinton.

At least you can get that Olivia trivia from a DYKG video but with Betruger and Hopkins, i don't think there's actual confirmation.
