An effective monologue occurs when someone (loudly or softly) revokes the ability to be interrupted. It is a masculine, conversational gesture and, as such, it feels especially strong when the feminine form claims it. Nicole Mary Kidman.

I’d read an essay on male and female monologues in cinema. I have a theory that because misogyny is real, the female monologue is an inherently more assertive act. As in: it’s common to hear a man roar. But, then you hear Julia Fiona Roberts.

A lot of great male, monologues but I’m trying to highlight the qualitative difference of the female monologue. It’s just obviously more transgressive for women to grab the right to speak by the throat. Catherine Élise Blanchett and Dame Judith Olivia Dench

A conventional definition of a monologue is an extended speech. But, I think a more precise definition is when a character suddenly becomes the urgent and prolonged emotional center and everyone has to gravitate around them. Vanessa Lynn Williams.

She’s a queen telling her long lost son that she was responsible for having his father the king killed so she could be with his brother but that she’s not loyal to him either. I’d definitely bet Kidman has the most frightening monologues of her generation.

I think there’s something nice about appreciating a monologue unto itself. But, in order: 1. The Normal Heart (2014) on Max. 2. Stoker (2013) on Prime Video. 3. Notes on a Scandal (2006) on Max. 4. Soul Food (1997) on Prime Video. 5. The Northman (2022) on Hulu.

You’ve ruined my weekend, I’ve never thought of the monologue in that way. I’ve always considered the best monologues capture the raw basics of humanity regardless of gender, whether it be Norma in Sunset Blvd, Quint in Jaws, etc. I’m going to be thinking about this all weekend.

this definition reminded me of another showstopping monologue by julianne moore in magnolia the pharmacists trying to talk over her while she keeps going makes this scene more powerful and ties back to your notion on what makes an effective monologue

I love this definition of an effective monologue. Makes me think of fiction as well: what makes a monologue feel earned in fiction
