Ficção científica: horizontes cinzas no cinema: Gattaca (19997), Matrix (1999) e Minority Report (2002)

Abstract

The present work aims to understand the contradictions of future represented in dystopian science fiction between the late 20th century an the early 21st century, trying to understand the critical content regarding contemporaneity and how hope remains alive amidst of obscurity. In an intense dialogue with Ernest Bloch's theory, the work seeks to understand the singularities in the representations of future in dystopia, which insists on keeping existence in motion, turning a much clouded future into gray throughout a rationalized world. To this end, we analyze three works - Gattaca (1997), Matrix (1999) and Minority Report (2002) - films soaked in their historical moment, which represent in a particularly way the anguish of present time, as well as the looking forward to tomorrow.
