    An absolute favourite of mine is Kevin Costner's speech to the court in JFK when he's summing up. Wonderfully written, acted and directed.

    "They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching... they'll see. They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, 'Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...'.."

    I love all of your videos so much!
    For me, one of the best dramatic monologues was in the TV show *"Jane the Virgin."* It was near the beginning of season 5 after she's close to being engaged to Raphael, but then her husband Michael comes back from the dead. She's in the kitchen with her mom and abuela as she talks through how she's feeling. The monologue lasts for a little over SEVEN MINUTES and it is so perfect!!! There are comedic moments, but also lots of tears, grief, confusion, just everything. When I think of the best monologues, Gina Rodriguez comes to mind for that seven minutes.

    The HBO television series "Deadwood" had some glorious, magnificent soliloquies. If the monolog interests you there are fine examples in Deadwood.

    You asked "Did we miss your favourite monologue?" and I thought to myself, 'The Great Dictator" must be in every monologue video'. That's what I am going to comment ---- and then, boom, there he was: "You the people have the power'. You surely, had me monologuing there.

  • @tanukidenfert

    What about voice-over? I would recommend "The story of a cheat" by Sacha Guitry, which has no dialogs but an internal soliloquy in voice-over. Or the second part of Tabu by Miguel Gomes. And The tree of life by Terrence Malick.

    • @StudioBinder
      @StudioBinder  12 часов назад

      Yeah, we'd still consider that internal monologue. The Tree of Life is a fascinating example because the thoughts/VO is more abstract, kinda like how it is in real life.

  • @hornet718
    @hornet718 День назад +1

    Okay, first, if you want to write the best monologue, hire Morgan Freeman!!! LOL With that aside, the best monologue speech I love in cinema is George C. Scott as Patton, his opening speech to the troops. I played it for my staff and it motivated them to do the best work they can which we all did! I think best way to write a monologue is to let the actor bring it to life when he or she reads it. Then you can tweak the lines and add emphasis or de-emphasize certain parts of the script. This is something AI can ever master, though they are trying, it will never hold up to a human's interpretation of the words to give it meaning. The single problem with writing a monologue for a character is that you don't know who it will be speaking those words. By that I mean if you already have an actor secured to a project, then the process will be a tad easier. But if you have the script and hold auditions, you will go through many people to be that character who speaks your lines. Hopefully when those of us are on the opposite side of movie production (small budgets) we can find the best actor to achieve the effect we are hoping to create. THANK YOU STUDIOBINDER FOR ANOTHER GREAT LESSON!!!
