Building off a simple joke, Tumblr users have concocted a fake Martin Scorsese movie called Goncharov out of countless fan posts and memes. It's gaining a surprising amount of steam!
Tumblr users have concocted a fake movie by Martin Scorsese, called Goncharov, and it's remarkably, eerily convincing. Scorsese is the maestro of crime thrillers like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas and The Irishman. His next project is the eagerly anticipated Killers of the Flower Moon, which stars frequent Scorsese collaborators Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
As constructed by Tumblr users, Goncharov presents itself as a 1973 satirical crime-thriller directed by Scorsese. Starting off as what was either a misprint or prank, one Tumblr user bought a pair of boots online and found, on the tongue of the shoe, a tag with the supposed movie details. The user inquired about it online, and another user took the opportunity to create a Scorsese film out of thin air, joking that the original poster hasn't seen the allegedly acclaimed Scorsese film.
The boot tag that kicked off the fake film's fanbase seems to be a terrible misprint or incorrect translation of text from a poster for Gomorrah, a film that actually exists and had Scorsese's stamp of approval. What gave this play-along meme legs was the lack of contradiction as it spread. There are also countless fake marketing pieces for Goncharov that look convincing, provided one hasn't seen any of the Godfather films by Francis Ford Coppola.
The conjuring of Goncharov and its seemingly endless amount of in-depth content on the internet is an achievement that's simultaneously haunting and impressive. Any user unaware of the preexisting movies it draws inspiration from could be convinced of its existence based on the considerable size of its content.
