Лучший сценарий всех времен

20 фильмов прошлого столетия, чьи сценарии были признаны лучшими в 20 веке по версии Гильдии сценаристов США https://twizz.ru/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/1645532919_8c7dd922ad47494fc02c388e12c00eac.jpg

В уже далёком 2006 году Гильдия сценаристов США объявила список из 101 лучшего сценария всего 20 века, подведя тем самым итог первого столетия в истории кино. Сейчас в 2022 году многие из этих фильмов (если не все) до сих пор пересматриваются и переосмысляются зрителями, поэтому почему бы не переосмыслить сам список?

Давайте посмотрим, какие фильмы прошлого столетия заняли первые 20 мест в топе американских специалистов. Очевидно, что все представленные здесь картины были произведены исключительно в Голливуде, однако именно из-за этого практически все они нам известны, а само присутствие их в топе является ещё одним поводом решиться посмотреть какой-то из этих классических шедевров.

20 место: «Эта замечательная жизнь» (1947)

RKO Pictures

Авторы сценария: Фрэнсис Гудрич, Альберт Хэкетт и Фрэнк Капра (он же режиссёр).

Удивительно, но в своё время на «Оскаре» фильм не получил ни одной статуэтки и вовсе не был номинирован за сценарий. Кстати, это самый любимый фильм 40-х годов у русскоязычных зрителей.

19 место: «Убить пересмешника» (1962)

Universal Pictures

Авторы сценария: Хортон Фут и Харпер Ли (автор одноимённого романа).

18 место: «В порту» (1954)

Columbia Pictures

Авторы сценария: Бадд Шульберг и Малкольм Джонсон (автор статей в газете «The New York Sun», на основе которых был снят фильм).

В главной роли снялся Марлон Брандо, получивший за неё свой первый «Оскар».

17 место: «Тутси» (1982)

Columbia Pictures

Авторы сценария: Ларри Гелбарт, Мюррей Шисгал, Барри Левинсон и Элейн Мэй.

16 место: «Криминальное чтиво» (1994)

15 место: «Квартира» (1960)

14 место: «Лоуренс Аравийский» (1962)

Columbia Pictures

Авторы сценария: Т.Э. Лоуренс, Роберт Болт и Майкл Уилсон.

13 место: «Выпускник» (1967)

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 

Авторы сценария: Колдер Уиллингэм и Бак Генри.

12 место: «Доктор Стрейнджлав, или Как я научился не волноваться и полюбил атомную бомбу» (1963)

Columbia Pictures

Авторы сценария: Стэнли Кубрик (он же режиссёр), Питер Джордж (автор романа «Красная тревога», на основе которого снят фильм) и Терри Саузерн.

11 место: «Буч Кэссиди и Сандэнс Кид» (1969)

20th Century Studios

Автор сценария: Уильям Голдман.

10 место: «Крёстный отец 2» (1974)

Paramount Pictures

Авторы сценария: Марио Пьюзо (автор романа «Крёстный отец») и Фрэнсис Форд Коппола (он же режиссёр).

9 место: «В джазе только девушки» (1959)

United Artists

Авторы сценария: Билли Уайлдер (он же режиссёр), И. А. Л. Даймонд, Роберт Тоерен и Майкл Логан.

8 место: «Телесеть» (1976)

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer 

Автор сценария: Пэдди Чайефски.

7 место: «Сансет бульвар» (1950)

Paramount Pictures

Авторы сценария: Билли Уайлдер (он же режиссёр), Чарльз Брэкетт и Д.М. Маршман младший.

6 место: «Энни Холл» (1977)

United Artists

Авторы сценария: Вуди Аллен (он же режиссёр) и Маршалл Брикмен.

Единственный фильм Вуди Аллена, за который он получил «Оскар» как лучший режиссёр, и первый из трёх его фильмов, которые получали награду за сценарий.

5 место: «Всё о Еве» (1950)

20th Century Fox

Авторы сценария: Джозеф Лео Манкевич (он же режиссёр) и Мэри Орр (автор рассказа «Мудрость Евы», на основе которого снят фильм).

4 место: «Гражданин Кейн» (1941)

RKO Radio Pictures

Авторы сценария: Орсон Уэллс (он же режиссёр, продюсер и исполнитель главной роли) и Херман Манкевич.

Написанию сценария к этой картине Херманом Манкевичем посвящён фильм «Манк» (2020).

3 место: «Китайский квартал» (1974)

Paramount Pictures

Автор сценария: Роберт Таун.

Режиссёр фильма Роман Полански, а главную роль исполнил Джек Николсон.

2 место: «Крёстный отец» (1972)

Paramount Pictures

Авторы сценария: Марио Пьюзо (автор романа «Крёстный отец») и Фрэнсис Форд Коппола (он же режиссёр).

За этот фильм Марлон Брандо получил свой второй «Оскар».

1 место: «Касабланка» (1942)

Warner Bros.

Авторы сценария: Джулиус Эпштейн, Филип Эпштейн и Говард Кох.

Интересно то, что Джулиус и Филипп Эпштейн — братья-близнецы. Вот он, секрет успеха написания гениального сценария!

Ещё несколько интересных фильмов, которые удивительным образом не вошли в двадцатку: «Побег из Шоушенка» (22-й), «Унесённые ветром» (23-й), «День сурка» (27-й) и «Пролетая над гнездом кукушки» (45-й). Полный список из 101 фильма вы можете увидеть на сайте Гильдии сценаристов США.

Как ни странно, ими же уже составлен список лучших сценариев и 21-го века тоже. Разумеется, это предварительный топ, его вы можете увидеть здесь.

Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay
KennethBranaghApr2011.jpg
Country United States
Presented by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)
First awarded 1940
Most recent winner Kenneth Branagh
Belfast (2021)
Website oscars.org

The Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is the Academy Award for the best screenplay not based upon previously published material. It was created in 1940 as a separate writing award from the Academy Award for Best Story. Beginning with the Oscars for 1957, the two categories were combined to honor only the screenplay.

See also the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, a similar award for screenplays that are adaptations of pre-existing material.

Superlatives[edit]

Woody Allen has the most nominations in this category with 16, and the most awards with 3 (for Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Midnight in Paris). Paddy Chayefsky and Billy Wilder have also won three screenwriting Oscars: Chayefsky won two for Original Screenplay (The Hospital and Network) and one for Adapted Screenplay (Marty), while Wilder won one for Adapted Screenplay (The Lost Weekend, shared with Charles Brackett), and two for Original Screenplay (Sunset Boulevard, shared with Brackett and D.M. Marshman Jr., and The Apartment, shared with I. A. L. Diamond)

Woody Allen also holds the record as the oldest winner (76) for Midnight in Paris.[1] Ben Affleck is the youngest winner (25) for Good Will Hunting, co-written with Matt Damon (27).

Richard Schweizer was the first to win for a foreign-language film, Marie-Louise. Other winners for a non-English screenplay include Albert Lamorisse, Pietro Germi, Claude Lelouch, Pedro Almodóvar, Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won. Lamorisse is additionally the only person to win or even be nominated for Best Original Screenplay for a short film (The Red Balloon, 1956).[2]

Muriel Box (The Seventh Veil) was the first woman to win in this category; she shared the award with her husband, Sydney Box. The Boxes are also the first of two married couples to win in this category; Earl W. Wallace and Pamela Wallace (Witness) are the others.

In 1996, Joel Coen and Ethan Coen became the only siblings to win in this category (for Fargo).[3] Francis Ford Coppola (Patton, 1970) [4] and Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, 2003) are the only father-daughter pair to win.[5]

Preston Sturges was nominated for two different films in the same year (1944): Hail the Conquering Hero and The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek. Oliver Stone achieved the same distinction in 1986, for Platoon and Salvador. Maurice Richlin and Stanley Shapiro were nominated in 1959 for both Operation Petticoat and Pillow Talk and won for the latter.

Jordan Peele became the first and only African-American to win in this category for 2017’s Get Out.[6]

Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won became the first Asian writers to win either Screenplay award, for 2019’s Parasite.[7][8]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Best Original Screenplay was consolidated in 1948 for a singular Best Screenplay award. The winner was The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, adapted from the novel of same name.
  2. ^ In 1958, Nedrick Young was blacklisted and writing under the pseudonym Nathan E. Douglas. The Academy’s Board of Governors voted in 1993 to restore Young’s nomination and award.
  3. ^ The eligibility period for the 93rd ceremony was extended through to February 28, 2021, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay
KennethBranaghApr2011.jpg
Country United States
Presented by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)
First awarded 1940
Most recent winner Kenneth Branagh
Belfast (2021)
Website oscars.org

The Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is the Academy Award for the best screenplay not based upon previously published material. It was created in 1940 as a separate writing award from the Academy Award for Best Story. Beginning with the Oscars for 1957, the two categories were combined to honor only the screenplay.

See also the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, a similar award for screenplays that are adaptations of pre-existing material.

Superlatives[edit]

Woody Allen has the most nominations in this category with 16, and the most awards with 3 (for Annie Hall, Hannah and Her Sisters, and Midnight in Paris). Paddy Chayefsky and Billy Wilder have also won three screenwriting Oscars: Chayefsky won two for Original Screenplay (The Hospital and Network) and one for Adapted Screenplay (Marty), while Wilder won one for Adapted Screenplay (The Lost Weekend, shared with Charles Brackett), and two for Original Screenplay (Sunset Boulevard, shared with Brackett and D.M. Marshman Jr., and The Apartment, shared with I. A. L. Diamond)

Woody Allen also holds the record as the oldest winner (76) for Midnight in Paris.[1] Ben Affleck is the youngest winner (25) for Good Will Hunting, co-written with Matt Damon (27).

Richard Schweizer was the first to win for a foreign-language film, Marie-Louise. Other winners for a non-English screenplay include Albert Lamorisse, Pietro Germi, Claude Lelouch, Pedro Almodóvar, Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won. Lamorisse is additionally the only person to win or even be nominated for Best Original Screenplay for a short film (The Red Balloon, 1956).[2]

Muriel Box (The Seventh Veil) was the first woman to win in this category; she shared the award with her husband, Sydney Box. The Boxes are also the first of two married couples to win in this category; Earl W. Wallace and Pamela Wallace (Witness) are the others.

In 1996, Joel Coen and Ethan Coen became the only siblings to win in this category (for Fargo).[3] Francis Ford Coppola (Patton, 1970) [4] and Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, 2003) are the only father-daughter pair to win.[5]

Preston Sturges was nominated for two different films in the same year (1944): Hail the Conquering Hero and The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek. Oliver Stone achieved the same distinction in 1986, for Platoon and Salvador. Maurice Richlin and Stanley Shapiro were nominated in 1959 for both Operation Petticoat and Pillow Talk and won for the latter.

Jordan Peele became the first and only African-American to win in this category for 2017’s Get Out.[6]

Bong Joon-ho and Han Jin-won became the first Asian writers to win either Screenplay award, for 2019’s Parasite.[7][8]

  2. ^ In 1958, Nedrick Young was blacklisted and writing under the pseudonym Nathan E. Douglas. The Academy’s Board of Governors voted in 1993 to restore Young’s nomination and award.
  3. ^ The eligibility period for the 93rd ceremony was extended through to February 28, 2021, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Полный список можно посмотреть по ссылке — например, туда вошли «Амели», «История игрушек 3» и «Суперсемейка». В Гильдии отметили, что в списке 2006-го было только семь сценариев, созданных при участии женщин. А вот сценарии, которые признали лучшими за XXI век, писали около тридцати женщин.

Кинематографисты составили список из 101 лучшего сценария последних 20 лет, в верхнюю десятку которого вместе с «Прочь» вошли «Паразиты», «Бесславные ублюдки» и «Почти знаменит».

Гильдия сценаристов Америки решила составить список из 101 лучшего киносценария XXI века через 15 лет после того, как опубликовала подборку из 101 лучшего сценария всех времён.

Предыдущий топ возглавила «Касабланка», нынешний — хоррор «Прочь». В первую половину списка 2021 года помимо фильма Джордана Пила также включили «Горбатую гору» (13 место), «Однажды в Голливуде» (22), «Отступники» (30), «Малхолланд Драйв» (41).

Во вторую половину — «Чёрная пантера» (57), «Волк с Уолл-Стрит» (63), «Властелин колец: Братство кольца» (76), «Ла Ла Лэнд» (92), «Борат» (93).

Из 101 фильма, попавшего в список 2021 года, семь оказались анимационными — в их число вошли «Унесённые призраками» и «Человек-паук: Через вселенные».

В Гильдии также отметили, что составленный в 2006-м список включал лишь семь сценариев, созданных при участии женщин. В свою очередь к сценариям, которые признали лучшими за XXI век, приложили руку около тридцати женщин.

10 лучших киносценариев XXI века по версии Гильдии сценаристов Америки

  1. «Прочь»
  2. «Вечное сияние чистого разума»
  3. «Социальная сеть»
  4. «Паразиты»

  6. «Лунный свет»

  10. «Помни»

Члены Сценарной гильдии Америки (Writers Guild of America) выбрали 101 величайший сценарий  21-го века (*пока что, на данный момент). Весной гильдия просила каждого члена назвать 15 сценариев, а в декабре 2021 года объявили результаты.

Так лучшим сценарием за последние 22 года является Get Out (“Прочь”) Джордана Пила, следом идут Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (“Вечное сияние чистого разума”) Чарли Кауфмана и The Social Network (“Социальная сеть”) Аарона Соркина.

У Кристофера Нолана в списке 4 фильма, у Квентина Тарантино — 3, как и у братьев Коэн и Альфонсо Куарона. Чарли Кауфман, Аарон Соркин, Майкл Арндт, Уэс Андерсон и Грета Гервиг написали по 2 сценария из списка. Самым лучшим сценарием, который был написан женщинами, является Bridesmaids (“Девичник в Вегасе”) авторства Кристен Виг и Энни Мумоло (12-е место).

Журнал Esquire в прошлом году опубликовал список лучших фильмов века. Во главе рейтинга оказалась картина «Безумный Макс: Дорога ярости», которая вышла в 2015 году. Ее назвали ни много, ни мало «совершенно безумным в концепции и исполнении» проектом, ставшим удивительным примером экшн-жанра. На втором месте тал фильм 2001 года «Властелин колец: Братство Кольца», а третье место занял Нолановский «Темный рыцарь».
