Frases de Grant Morrison

Grant Morrison es un guionista de cómics escocés, conocido por su narrativa no lineal y sus inclinaciones a tratar temáticas contraculturales en sus obras. Comenzó su carrera profesional trabajando para publicaciones destinadas a Reino Unido para, de forma progresiva en los primeros años de la década del noventa, pasar a centrar su trabajo en Estados Unidos.

Es conocido por tomar el control de personajes clásicos, reinterpretándolos y relanzándolos con éxito . Suele compaginar trabajos personales y destinados a un público minoritario, generalmente para el sello editorial Vertigo, con trabajos para personajes famosos e icónicos para grandes editoriales, como Arkham Asylum para Batman, una de sus obras más aclamadas.

Gran parte de la fama que Morrison ha alcanzado ha sido gracias a los temas contraculturales tratados en sus obras como las drogas, la imaginación, la metaficción, la fantasía, el sexo, la violencia, y un largo etcétera. Muy influenciado por obras de medios muy diversos, que abarcan desde la literatura de Thomas Pynchon a la plástica de Andy Warhol, pasando por las reflexiones sobre los alucinógenos de Terence McKenna o el vudú de Michael Bertiaux.

En otros campos, ha sido premiado por sus obras de teatro, ha realizado varios guiones de cine, como Sleepless Knights y el de la adaptación de una de sus obras, We3. Además, ha realizado el guion de varios videojuegos como Área 51, Predator: Concrete Jungle y Battlestar Galactica. Wikipedia

Frases célebres de Grant Morrison

“Gotham City.

Donde los sueños se vuelven sólidos y sangran. Donde los fantasmas existen y los monstruos dejan las huellas de sus pisadas entre el polvo. Donde vive el hombre sin precio, el hombre que no puede ser comprado ni vendido, ni apartado de su singular rumbo.”

Grant Morrison: Frases en inglés

“The real world is filled with ghost stories, non sequiturs, inexplicable mysteries, dead ends and absurdities”

On life
Contexto: Otherwise, I know I’m often wasting my breath and electronic ink saying this, but the “real-world” is a pretty weird place where lots of inexplicable things happen all the time, and I like to catch the flavor of that too. It just seems more modern and authentic to me as a storyteller. The “real world” doesn’t come with the neat three-act structures and resolutions we love to impose on it, and if repeated doses of movie and TV-storytelling have convinced anyone that it does, it‘s time to get out and about a bit. The real world is filled with ghost stories, non sequiturs, inexplicable mysteries, dead ends and absurdities, and I think it’s cool to season our comfortable fictions with at least a little taste of what actual reality is like. http://www.newsarama.com/comics/060904-Grant-Batman.html

“Everyone does magic all the time in different ways. "Life" plus "significance" = magic.”

On magic
Contexto: All the comics are sigils. "Sigil" as a word is out of date. All this magic stuff needs new terminology because it's not what people are being told it is at all. It's not all this wearying symbolic misdirection that's being dragged up from the Victorian Age, when no-one was allowed to talk plainly and everything was in coy poetic code. The world's at a crisis point and it's time to stop bullshitting around with Qabalah and Thelema and Chaos and Information and all the rest of the metaphoric smoke and mirrors designed to make the rubes think magicians are "special" people with special powers. It's not like that. Everyone does magic all the time in different ways. "Life" plus "significance" = magic.

Fuente: Doom Patrol, Vol. 1: Crawling from the Wreckage

“We're so familiar with written language that we sometimes forget how outlandish a concept it must have seemed to our ancestors. Writing allowed people to copy and transfer their thoughts and their tribal codes of conduct to others, even unto generations they themselves would not live to personally instruct, affect or control. The words themselves must have seemed alive and immortal and as "holy" as ghosts. Written law was thus a way of mastering time and influencing the future, a weapon greater than fire and steel, I hope you'll agree. When read, the written word made the head buzz and ring and fill up with voices and commands from nowhere, as if God Himself had come thundering down through the symbols, off the page and into the room, fertilising and impregnating the mind with his Ghostly, unmistakable presence.”

On writing

“Everything is literally entangled, it can all be communicated with and affected 'at a distance' because there is no distance, only a simulation of apparent separation which our limited consciousness feeds us second by second at 11 bits. The 'telepathy' which brings people together is no more or less supernatural or unlikely than the 'telepathy' which brings two of your fingers together when you think about it. Patience, participation and constant close observation of what's going on, on the inside and on the outside will soon make you a fine sorcerer, if that's what you want to be.”

“I must admit to being increasingly deranged by the kinds of bizarre myths which have grown like moss around my name in comics fan circles - I keep coming up against this idiot savant image; me reflected back at myself as a shambling, incoherent drug addict, wanking and drooling out meaningless gibberish which can only be understood by 'those lying bastards' who claim they can see 'Magic Eye' 3-d pictures and wee men reading the news on the TV.”

“What people often forget, of course, is that Magneto, unlike the lovely Sir Ian McKellen, is a mad old terrorist twat. No matter how he justifies his stupid, brutal behaviour, or how anyone else tries to justify it, in the end he's just an old bastard with daft, old ideas based on violence and coercion. I really wanted to make that clear (when writing New X-Men).”
