“And so I ask myself: 'Where are your dreams?' And I shake my head and mutter: 'How the years go by!' And I ask myself again: 'What have you done with those years? Where have you buried your best moments? Have you really lived?" Fyodor Dostoyevsky, White Nights

Cat People (1942)
Irena Dubrovna, a beautiful and mysterious Serbian-born fashion artist 
living in New York City, falls in love with and marries average-Joe 
American Oliver Reed. Their marriage suffers though, as Irena believes 
that she suffers from an ancient curse- whenever emotionally aroused, 
she will turn into a panther and kill. Oliver thinks that is absurd and 
childish, so he sends her to psychiatrist Dr. Judd to cure her. Easier 
said than done...                
Hamlet (1948)
"William Shakespeare's tale of tragedy of murder and revenge in the royal
 halls of medieval Denmark. Claudius, brother to the King, conniving 
with the Queen, poisons the monarch and seizes the throne, taking the 
widowed Gertrude for his bride. Hamlet, son of the murdered King, 
mournful of his father's death and mother's hasty marriage, is 
confronted by the ghost of the late King who reveals the manner of his 
murder. Seeking revenge, Hamlet recreates the monstrous deed in a play 
with the help of some traveling actors to torment the conscience of the 
evil Claudius. In a visit with his mother, Hamlet expresses his anger 
and disappointment concerning her swiftly untimed marriage. Thinking a 
concealed spy in his mother's chamber to be the lurking Claudius, he 
mistakenly kills the meddling counselor, Polonius, father of Ophelia and
 Laertes. Claudius, on the pretext that Hamlet will be endangered by his
 subjects for the murder of Polonius, sends the prince to England."
They Live by Night (1948)
"In the '30s, three prisoners flee from a state prison farm in

seven years in prison and now hopes to be able to prove his innocence or
 retire to a home in the mountains and live in peace together with his 
new love, Kitty. But his criminal companions persuade him to participate
 in several heists, and soon the police believe him to be their leader 
and go after "Bowie the Kid" harder than ever."

O Mito de Sísifo - A Liberdade e a Justiça
"A revolução do 
século XX separou arbitrariamente, para fins desmesurados de conquista, 
duas noções inseparáveis. A liberdade absoluta mete a justiça a 
ridículo. A justiça absoluta nega a liberdade. Para serem fecundas, as 
duas noções devem descobrir os seus limites uma dentro da outra. Nenhum 
homem considera livre a sua condição se ela não for ao mesmo tempo 
justa, nem justa se não for livre. Precisamente, não pode conceber-se a 
liberdade sem o poder de clarificar o justo e o injusto, de reivindicar 
todo o ser em nome de uma parcela de ser que se recusa a extinguir-se. 
Finalmente, tem de haver uma justiça, embora bem diferente, para se 
restaurar a liberdade, único valor imperecível da história. Os homens só
 morrem bem quando o fizeram pela liberdade: pois, nessa altura, não 
acreditavam que morressem por completo." 
Albert Camus, in "O Mito de Sísifo"
