Watchmen e Alan Moore
Nas artes sempre encontramos uma série de obras que são representativas de cada área, que transcendem gostos pessoais ou escolhas artísticas. Exemplos como a Gioconda na pintura, a 9°sinfonia na música, Don Quixote na literatura. O cinema tem seu 'Cidadão Kane', porém até bem pouco tempo faltava para os quadrinhos, uma obra que estabelecesse um ponto de referência e de real significância.
Mesmo existindo um punhado de obras fantásticas, como 'Aventuras de Tintin', Little Nemo' ou 'Akira', nunca a crítica mundial teve uma postura unânime sobre um trabalho, que não deixasse dúvidas de sua universalidade e permanência.
Até surgir WATCHMEN, escrito por Alan Moore e desenhos de Dave Gibbons, em 1986, publicado pela editora DC Comics.
A versão dos quadrinhos que chegou finalmente em 2009 aos cinemas, 'corajosamente' pelas mãos do diretor Zack Snyder (responsável por '300'), já foi renegada pelo seu autor. Alan Moore declarou que não gostou, mesmo sem ter visto, e que Watchmen não se presta para o cinema. Seu nome não está nos créditos do filme, mas sim o de Dave Gibbons.
Entrevista com Zack Snyder sobre o filme.
A história:
Em plena Grande Depressão, surgem os primeiros vingadores mascarados, que se intitulam como sendo os 'Minutemen' e durante a década de 30 e 40, se dedicam a perseguir criminosos.
Na década de 50, inicia-se o ocaso dos mascarados, quando o crime se organiza. Os mafiosos usam gravata e se torna um pouco ridículo perseguí-los de capa e máscara.
Em 1959 outro golpe: O nascimento do Doutor Manhattan, primeiro e único super-herói com super-poderes. Os mascarados que se tornaram antiquados, como punhos diante de um panzer, assistem nos anos 60 a crise se instalar.
Uma reunião, presidida pelo Capitão Metrópolis, trata de reconstruir um grupo semelhante ao Minutemen, a fim de combater as novas formas de crime: drogas, motins raciais, subversão estudantil, promiscuidade sexual, etc. Porém tal iniciativa fracassa diante do cinismo do Comediante (único Minutemen ainda ativo). Esta reunião, um dos pontos chave da história, é narrada por diferentes pontos de vista, em diferentes momentos.
No início dos anos 70, a América ganha a guerra do Vietnam graças a decisiva ajuda do Doutor Manhattan. Isto assegura a reeleição de Nixon e ainda um terceiro mandato.
O golpe final contra os mascarados ocorre em 1977, quando é criada a Lei Keene, que os converte em criminosos. Excetuando claro, aqueles que trabalham para o Governo: o Doutor Manhattan, a super-arma definitiva e o Comediante, uma mistura de Oliver North e Rambo, envolvido com todos os golpes na América do Sul, salvador dos refens de Teerã, 'silenciador' de Watergate e provável assassino de Kennedy.
O ano de 1985 começa com a ameaça de guerra no Afeganistão...
E o assassinato do Comediante.

Clockwork Orange - Roteiro de Anthony Burgess

INT. KOROVA MILKBAR - NIGHT
Tables, chairs made of nude fibreglass figures.
Hypnotic atmosphere.
Alex, Pete, Georgie and Dim, teenagers stoned on their milk-plus, their feet resting on faces, crotches, lips of the sculptured furniture.
ALEX (V.O.)
There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie and Dim and we sat in the Korova milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. The Korova Milk Bar sold milkplus, milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom which is what we
were drinking. This would sharpen you up and make you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence. Our pockets were full of money so there was no need on that score, but, as they say, money isn't everything.
INT. PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS TUNNEL - NIGHT
A Tramp lying in tunnel, singing.
TRAMP
In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through streets wide and narrow...
Shadows of the boys approaching fall across Tramp.
TRAMP
Crying cockless and mussels alive,
Alive O...
Alive, alive O... Alive, alive O...
Crying cockless and mussels alive,
Alive O...
ALEX (V.O.)
One thing I could never stand is to see a filthy, dirty old drunkie, howling away at the filthy songs of his fathers and going blerp, blerp in between as it might be a filthy old orchestra in his stinking rotten guts. I could never stand to see anyone like that, whatever his age might be, but more especially when he was real old like this one was.
The boys stop and applaud him.
TRAMP
Can you... can you spare some cutter, me brothers?
Alex rams his stick into the Tramp's stomach.
The boys laugh.
TRAMP
Oh-hhh!!! Go on, do me in you bastard cowards. I don't want to live anyway, not in a stinking world like this.
ALEX
Oh - and what's so stinking about it?
TRAMP
It's a stinking world because there's no law and order any more. It's a stinking world because it lets the young get onto the old like you done. It's no world for an old man any more. What sort of a world is it at all? Men on the moon and men spinning around the earth and there's
not no attention paid to earthly law and order no more.
The Tramp starts singing again.
TRAMP
Oh dear land, I fought for thee and brought you peace and victory.
Alex and gang move in and start beating up on old Tramp.

The Day the Earth Stood Still - Script original

BRITISH ANNOUNCER
Reports are coming in from all over
the Empire -- from all over the world.
The Government have not yet issued a
statement, but there seems to be no
question that there actually is a
large, unidentified object circling
the earth at incredible speed.
This announcer keeps talking, but his voice fades out, and
now we hear the words the American announcer is saying...
AMERICAN ANNOUNCER
(staccato with excitement)
We still don't know what it is or
where it's from –- but we do know
there's something there. It's been
tracked around the world by radar
traveling at a rate of four thousand
miles an hour.

MED. CLOSE SHOT
Several people on the steps of the Smithsonian have turned
to look. There is cold, frozen fear in their eyes. The awful
sound keeps increasing in volume.
CLOSE SHOT
A man, following the progress of a huge object in the sky
with his eyes. He is held terror-stricken.
LONG SHOT INTO SKY (SERSEN SHOT)
A giant shape, still at some distance, is approaching the
earth at incredible speed.
LONG SHOT ON GROUND
A group of people run wildly across a large expanse of lawn.
A huge shadow cast from above onto the grass seems to be
pursing them.
CLOSE SHOT - GORTFrom inside him there comes an ominous crackling sound, as
though power were being generated within him. His eyes flash
toward the tank from which Klaatu was shot.
MED. CLOSE SHOT - TANK
There is a great metallic clatter and the Sherman tank is
suddenly reduced to a pile of junk metal, its parts completely
disintegrated. Only a piece of tank track and twisted gun
barrel emerge from the heap on the ground to identify what
had been there. The tank's crew has remained unharmed.
CLOSE SHOT - GORT
The crackling sound continues as his eyes start to sweep in
a semicircle taking in all the troops.
MED. SHOT - THE TROOPS
SHOOTING FROM BEHIND Gort, with the back of his head in f.g.,
CAMERA PANS to follow Gort's sweeping gaze. In a growing
crash and clatter of metal, every weapon in sight is
destroyed. The two machine guns are little heaps of junk.
The 75's are larger heaps. The second tank, like the first,
is a three-foot pile of scrap. Rifles have dropped from the
soldier's hands and lie on the ground as little mounds of
wood and metal. None of the men has been harmed, but their
faces show the utter terror of what they have experienced.

INT. SMALL CORRIDOR - SPACE SHIP
CAMERA FOLLOWS as Gort carries Helen through the dimly lighted
corridor into the main cabin, where he flips a switch that
lights up the cabin. The robot proceeds to a small door
leading off the main cabin and disappears with Helen inside
it.
INT. SMALL CABIN - FULL SHOT
This is revealed as a weirdly equipped laboratory, the walls
of which are lined with the most complex array of mechanical
and electronic apparatus. Gort sets Helen down on a stool
and indicates for her to stay there. Too terrified to move,
Helen watches as he busies himself with the apparatus. He
starts flipping switches and turning dials. As a result,
lights begin to flash and there's a strange series of
mechanical noises.
CLOSE SHOT - HELEN
Unable to guess the reason for these preparations, she is
gripped with a terrible fear.
KLAATUWe of the other planets have long accepted this principle. We have an
organization for the mutual protection of all planets -- and for the complete
elimination of aggression. A sort of United Nations on the Planetary
level... The test of any such higher authority, of course, is the police
force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots--
(indicating Gort)
Their function is to patrol the planets -- in space ships like this
one -- and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression we have given
them absolute power over us.
MED. CLOSE SHOT - GORT
emphasizing his great size and inscrutable expression. The
normal blinking of his piercing eyes as he gazes imperturbably
at the audience is his only movement.
KLAATU'S VOICE
(over scene)
At the first sign of violence they act automatically against the
aggressor. And the penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk.
CLOSE SHOT - KLAATU
KLAATU
The result is that we live in peace,without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war -- free to pursue more profitable enterprises.
(after a pause)
We do not pretend to have achieved perfection
-- but we do have a system --
and it works.
(with straightforward candor)
I came here to give you the facts.
It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet -- but if you threaten
to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.
QUICK REACTION CUTS
of four delegates, reflecting their stark terror and bewilderment.
And a cut of the Colonel and the soldiers, impressed and held by what Klaatu is saying.
MED. CLOSE SHOT - KLAATU
CAMERA MOVES SLOWLY as he concludes quietly, incisively.
KLAATU
Your choice is simple. Join us and live in peace. Or pursue your present
course -- and face obliteration.
(after a pause)
We will be waiting for your answer.
Decision rests with you.

A Scanner Darkly - Roteiro para o cinema
A Scanner Darkly (O Homem Duplo) é uma produção cinematográfica de 2006, dirigida por Richard Linklater, mesmo diretor de Waking Life. O filme é baseado no livro de mesmo nome de 1977, escrito por Philip K. Dick, autor de ficção científica com muitas adaptações para o cinema, como Minority Report, Paycheck, Total Recall ou Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, que deu origem ao clássico Blade Runner.
A história remete ao tema das drogas, inspirada na própria experiência do autor ou de seus amigos, muitos dos quais mortos ou comprometidos pelo uso dessas substâncias. Em um futuro próximo, uma droga, a "Substância D", altamente viciante e de origem desconhecida passa a ser investigada pela agência "Novo Caminho", que para a tarefa, infiltra um agente entre um grupo de viciados. Embora seja um tempo em que tudo o que se faça seja vigiado, filmado e gravado, a identidade do agente é preservada pela tecnologia que, através de uma roupa, altera a fisionomia e a voz do indivíduo.

THX 1138 - Roteiro

1. BLACK T.V. MONITOR
Point of view from inside a small medicine cabinet. The door is opened creating a low hum, and throwing light on THX 1138, a man about thirty-five years old. He has a closely shaved head: which makes him appear bald. The image is distorted as seen over a TV monitor.
MALE VOICE
What's wrong?
THX takes a bottle of blue pills out of the cabinet and talks directly into the camera.
THX
Nothing, nothing really. I just feel kind of lousy. I need something stronger.
MALE VOICE
If you have a problem, don't hesitate to ask for assistance. CALL 348-853
THX
Yes, Thank you, I'll be all right. I'm all right.
He takes two of the pills and returns the bottle the cabinet.
FEMALE VOICE
For more rapid results use your new D code on your Mercicontrol card. Thank you.
THX closes the cabinet.
