Чаефски, Пэдди цитаты

Сидни Аарон «Пэдди» Чаефски — американский сценарист и драматург, один из наиболее известных писателей Золотого века телевидения. Его реалистичные сценарии, созданные в натуралистическом стиле телевизионной драмы 1950-х годов, принесли ему звание одной из ключевых фигур в движении американского телевидения 20-го века. Критик Мартин Готтфрид писал: «Он был успешным писателем, наиболее успешным выпускником телевизионной школы натурализма. Его сценарии всегда обладали неким ломтиком жизни».

Сценарии Чаефски были специфическими для той среды, где он вырос — нью-йоркского района Бронкс. Критики особенно отмечали диалоги, юмор и общее настроение его сценарных работ. Главными героями миров, созданных Чаефски, становились, в основном, люди среднего класса, борющиеся с собственными проблемами: одиночеством, выходящими через край эмоциями, а также полным неудовлетворением окружающим миром.

Чаефски — трёхкратный лауреат премии «Оскар» , двукратный обладатель премии «Золотой глобус» и победитель премии BAFTA . Кроме того, Чаефски является одним из двух сценаристов , когда-либо забравших домой три «Оскара» за одиночное написание сценария. Wikipedia

“We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Network (1976)
Контексте: We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality — one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.

“War isn't a fraud, Charlie, it's very real.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Emily Barham
The Americanization of Emily (1964)
Контексте: War isn't a fraud, Charlie, it's very real. At least that's what you always tried to tell me, isn't it? That we shall never get rid of war by pretending it's unreal? It's the virtue of war that's the fraud, not war itself. It's the valor and the self-sacrifice and the goodness of war that needs the exposing. And here you are being brave and self-sacrificing, positively clanking with moral fervor, perpetuating the very things you detest merely to do "the right thing". Honestly, Charlie, your conversion to morality is really quite funny. All this time I've been terrified of becoming Americanized, and you, you silly ass, have turned into a bloody Englishman

“Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Network (1976)
Контексте: Television is not the truth. Television is a goddamned amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, a football players. We're in the boredom-killing business.

“You see, dogs like us, we ain't such dogs as we think we are.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Marty Pilletti.
Marty (1955)
Контексте: I used to adore my old man because he was always so kind. That's one of the most beautiful things I have in my life — the way my father and mother were. And my father was a real ugly man. So it doesn't matter if you look like a gorilla. You see, dogs like us, we ain't such dogs as we think we are.

“We all live with it. That unbearable terror is what makes us such singular creatures.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Emily Jessup
Altered States (1980)
Контексте: We all live with it. That unbearable terror is what makes us such singular creatures. We hide from it, we succumb to it, mostly we defy it! We build fragile little structures to keep it out. We love, we raise families, we work, we make friends. We write poems...

“All my brothers and brothers-in-laws tell me what a good-hearted guy I am. You don't get to be good-hearted by accident.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Marty (1955)
Контексте: All my brothers and brothers-in-laws tell me what a good-hearted guy I am. You don't get to be good-hearted by accident. You get kicked around long enough, you become a professor of pain.

Marty Pilletti.

“When I say impotent, I mean I've lost even my desire to work. That's a hell of a lot more primal passion than sex. I've lost my reason for being. My purpose.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Dr. Bock.
The Hospital (1971)
Контексте: When I say impotent, I mean I've lost even my desire to work. That's a hell of a lot more primal passion than sex. I've lost my reason for being. My purpose. The only thing I ever truly loved. … We have established the most enormous, medical entity ever conceived and people are sicker than ever! WE CURE NOTHING! WE HEAL NOTHING! The whole goddamn wretched world is strangulating in front of our eyes. That's what I mean when I say impotent. You don't know what the hell I'm talking about, do you?... I'm tired. I'm very tired, Miss Drummond. And I hurt. And I've got nothing going for me anymore. Can you understand that?... And you also understand that the only admissible matter left is death.

“In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion!”

Paddy Chayefsky

Network (1976)
Контексте: You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the tube tells you: you dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you even think like the tube! This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God's name, you people are the real thing, WE are the illusion!

“You're beginning to believe the illusions we're spinning here. You're beginning to believe that the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal.”

“I was in that ultimate moment of terror that is the beginning of life. It is nothing. Simple, hideous nothing.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Eddie Jessup
Altered States (1980)
Контексте: I was in that ultimate moment of terror that is the beginning of life. It is nothing. Simple, hideous nothing. The final truth of all things is that there is no final Truth. Truth is what's transitory. It's human life that is real.

“Well, all I know is I had a good time last night. I'm gonna have a good time tonight. If we have enough good times together, I'm gonna get down on my knees and I'm gonna beg that girl to marry me.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Marty Pilletti.
Marty (1955)
Контексте: You don't like her. My mother don't like her. She's a dog and I'm a fat, ugly man. Well, all I know is I had a good time last night. I'm gonna have a good time tonight. If we have enough good times together, I'm gonna get down on my knees and I'm gonna beg that girl to marry me.

“You're forever falling for men on their last nights on furlough. That's about the limit of your commitments, one night, a day, a month.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison.
The Americanization of Emily (1964)
Контексте: You're forever falling for men on their last nights on furlough. That's about the limit of your commitments, one night, a day, a month. You prefer lovers to husbands, hotels to homes. You'd rather grieve than live.

“God save us all from people who do the morally right thing. It's always the rest of us who get broken in half.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison.
The Americanization of Emily (1964)
Контексте: You've done the morally right thing. God save us all from people who do the morally right thing. It's always the rest of us who get broken in half.

“We shall never end wars, Mrs. Barham, by blaming it on the ministers and generals, or warmongering imperialists, or all the other banal bogeys. It's the rest of us who build statues to those generals and name boulevards after those ministers.”

Paddy Chayefsky

Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison.
The Americanization of Emily (1964)
Контексте: We shall never end wars, Mrs. Barham, by blaming it on the ministers and generals, or warmongering imperialists, or all the other banal bogeys. It's the rest of us who build statues to those generals and name boulevards after those ministers. The rest of us who make heroes of our dead and shrines of our battlefields. We wear our widow's weeds like nuns, Mrs. Barham, and perpetuate war by exalting its sacrifices.
