Greatest monologues

1/2

>Fuck me? Fuck you! Fuck you and this whole city and everyone in it.
>Fuck the panhandlers, grubbing for money, and smiling at me behind my back.
>Fuck squeegee men dirtying up the clean windshield of my car. Get a fucking job!
>Fuck the Sikhs and the Pakistanis bombing down the avenues in decrepit cabs, curry steaming out their pores and stinking up my day. Terrorists in fucking training. Slow the fuck down!
>Fuck the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped up biceps. Going down on each other in my parks and on my piers, jingling their dicks on my Channel 35.
>Fuck the Korean grocers with their pyramids of overpriced fruit and their tulips and roses wrapped in plastic. Ten years in the country, still no speaky English?
>Fuck the Russians in Brighton Beach. Mobster thugs sitting in cafés, sipping tea in little glasses, sugar cubes between their teeth. Wheelin' and dealin' and schemin'. Go back where you fucking came from!
>Fuck the black-hatted Chassidim, strolling up and down 47th street in their dirty gabardine with their dandruff. Selling South African apartheid diamonds!
>Fuck the Wall Street brokers. Self-styled masters of the universe. Michael Douglas, Gordon Gecko wannabe mother fuckers, figuring out new ways to rob hard working people blind. Send those Enron assholes to jail for fucking life! You think Bush and Cheney didn't know about that shit? Give me a fucking break! Tyco! Imclone! Adelphia! Worldcom!
>Fuck the Puerto Ricans. 20 to a car, swelling up the welfare rolls, worst fuckin' parade in the city. And don't even get me started on the Dom-in-i-cans, because they make the Puerto Ricans look good.

2/3

>Fuck the Bensonhurst Italians with their pomaded hair, their nylon warm-up suits, and their St. Anthony medallions. Swinging their, Jason Giambi, Louisville slugger, baseball bats, trying to audition for the Sopranos.
>Fuck the Upper East Side wives with their Hermés scarves and their fifty-dollar Balducci artichokes. Overfed faces getting pulled and lifted and stretched, all taut and shiny. You're not fooling anybody, sweetheart!
>Fuck the uptown brothers. They never pass the ball, they don't want to play defense, they take fives steps on every lay-up to the hoop. And then they want to turn around and blame everything on the white man. Slavery ended one hundred and thirty seven years ago. Move the fuck on!
>Fuck the corrupt cops with their anus violating plungers and their 41 shots, standing behind a blue wall of silence. You betray our trust!
>Fuck the priests who put their hands down some innocent child's pants. Fuck the church that protects them, delivering us into evil. And while you're at it, fuck JC! He got off easy! A day on the cross, a weekend in hell, and all the hallelujahs of the legioned angels for eternity! Try seven years in fuckin Otisville, Jay!
>Fuck Osama Bin Laden, Al-Qaida, and backward-ass, cave-dwelling, fundamentalist assholes everywhere. On the names of innocent thousands murdered, I pray you spend the rest of eternity with your seventy-two whores roasting in a jet-fueled fire in hell. You towel headed camel jockeys can kiss my royal, Irish ass!

I hope you don't think he's meant to be sympathetic there

3/3

>Fuck Jacob Elinski, whining malcontent.
>Fuck Francis Xavier Slaughtery, my best friend, judging me while he stares at my girlfriend's ass.
>Fuck Naturel Rivera. I gave her my trust and she stabbed me in the back. Sold me up the river. Fucking bitch.
>Fuck my father with his endless grief, standing behind that bar. Sipping on club soda, selling whiskey to firemen and cheering the Bronx Bombers.
>Fuck this whole city and everyone in it. From the row houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue. From the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho. From the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park slope to the split levels in Staten Island. Let an earthquake crumble it. Let the fires rage. Let it burn to fuckin ash then let the waters rise and submerge this whole, rat-infested place.
>No. No, fuck you, Montgomery Brogan. You had it all and then you threw it away, you dumb fuck!

Every one of his complaints is valid. That Monty is angry and just looking for people to throw blame at doesn't mean everything he says is wrong.

...

>mfw I live in NYC and this is all sorta true
Diversity sucks as does most immigration in general.
This city is so fucking overcrowded.

1/2

We cannot match the strength of wolves. We cannot hear a grasshopper in flight five meters away in a jungle. We cannot walk on branches without slipping and falling. We cannot interface with animals to make them tolerate us. We do not have neural links to a planetary deity to receive instructions on how to thrive in a hostile environment.

Make no mistake, we are frail in body, but not mind or soul. We are not weak because we fight in armor. We are not cowardly because we strike our enemies from afar. We are not evil because we harness the power of destruction. It is merely equalization. We are somewhere in the middle of all the life on our planet, and every one of them has and is trying to kill us.

See this hammer? This is a tool, a weapon, and a means. With this hammer, we battled the world's greatest terrors and won. With this hammer, we built villages, towns, cities, metropolises, civilizations. With this hammer, we harnessed fire, steel, and lightning to do our bidding. We constructed machines, vehicles, and titans of iron to tame the wilderness. We fought our way into our place in the world. We did all this to forge a safer place for our children. If there is a better way, we did not receive any messages.

Do not talk to me of your 'moral integrity'. I have seen rage, jealousy, religious indignation, lust, apathy, and failure to forgive amongst you. There is nothing wrong with our nature that you do not have.

In the end? You are no better, Na'vi.

And that is your weakness. Not only are you blind and deaf to the voice of the world, you rejoice in your ignorance. You actually believe your handicap is something to be proud of, instead of something to be pitied.

2/2

Spare us your pity, alien. You gush about your connection with nature, your primal wisdom, but what has it brought you?

Where are your marvels of engineering? Your voyages of discovery? Your great insight into the nature of the universe? Even at our basest, when we dressed as you do, dwelt as you do, hunted as you do, lived as you do, we did more than merely survive. We built wonders. We made great journeys. We forged epics. You have not.

You speak so proudly of the plugs dangling from your skulls, little realizing that they are but strings and you puppets. What little you have accomplished you attribute to the wisdom of your goddess, who is nothing but the voices of your dead echoing for all eternity. She moors you to the past, serving as a leash that keeps you as little better than apes, sad parodies of civilization that lack that special spark to become something more.

We have come to your world in search of resources. Whether your actions drive us back or we take what we want and move on, the outcome is the same. We will depart from your wretched planet, leaving you behind. And in a thousand years, you will not have changed from this contact with another world. You will remain in your trees, hunting your prey, communing with your goddess, until your sun burns out and your world dies.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

I'd say that makes him a faggot more than anything

How do you figure?

>muh "honor"
>muh "loyalty"
>muh "sacrifice"
>muh "military"
>muh "camaraderie"

Military. It's essentially a declaration that you've lost the game.

Think about it. The power of free will and you *still* settle for slavery. Wonderful, no?

From an early age, you're influenced by your environment. Your parents (or lack of), teachers (in some manner, shape or form) and other mentors can help steer your life in a direction, whichever direction that may actually be.

However, during all of this, if you're still alive and have most of your bodily functions, there are a whole world of opportunities available to you. Especially in this day and age of technological marvels and the wonders of the Internet to provide information (and, of course, misinformation.)

The military should not even be an option, at this point, because not only is there enough information to suggest that joining it is only for those who've allowed themselves to be brainwashed by a military-industrial complex keen on retaining what power they have left ... but there is also enough information available for people to make their own decisions on what they'd like to do, instead.

Still, people join. They wish to be broken down and remoulded in somebody else's image.

This is a sign of weakness. Of allowing one's self to be influenced and corrupted by those with power and ambition. Essentially, those who join the military are no-better than mindless sheep.

>tl;dr: Join the military? You're a faeces-flinging, irradiated, nuclear-powered rhesus monkey who enjoys others making decisions for you.

Humanity stronk
Xenos go home!

For real though, the navii were shit boring do nothing faggots, humans were just better in that setting. Mother nature, our mother is a crackwhore who beat us daily and we bled her dry to escape into the stars of course we're going to be monsters, the fact that we even have a moral discourse is a miracle because earths nature is evil and terrifying and the more intelligent you are the greater your potential for sadism as shown by dolphin rape, chimp racewar, infanticide and cannibalism.
The fact that human beings *try* to be better means we are better
>"is it better to be born good or become good through overcoming ones own evil"

Alyy lmao's a shit
>we betrayed our earth mother ;_;
fuck you! she was a whore and im glad we killed her, bend the knee or get the fuck out, you made us what we are

That's not it at all.

t.man who never has to worry about his family being raped by the nearby warlord because the same militant force protects them in voluntary collective is the one he gets to shitpost about
kill yourself my manor read any basic entry level discourse on history politics and human natureeither one

Micheal Clayton had a great monologue.

The one where he BTFO out of Tilda?

>t.

You need to go back.

The scene in great beauty on the rooftop where shreds that stupid pretentious woman a new hole.

Nah, i was thinking of this.
youtube.com/watch?v=1WB-_Zq9UcE

too rehearsed-sounding, 4/10

if your even a day over the age of 14 you should be properly ashamed of your limited naive view of the reality world.

I guaran-fucking-tee youve not seen the world from anything but your computer screen, or a maybe a glance round a resort or 2.

bitch

>sorta true
it's 100% true

Oh right, this is a very good one. Tom Wilkinson was fucking superb in this. The whole movie is superb actually. Awards nominations and shit like that aside I honestly think it's quite underrated.

youre a fucking faggot

Probably this if only because of how thoroughly it blows """"critics"""" right the fuck out

m.youtube.com/watch?v=4d5KovCbU8w

Am I the only one who sees parallels between Riggin being common sense and the critic being feminism?

Wow I need to go rewatch this

Just rewatched Primal Fear, he is seriously amazing.
Stephen Lang was the best thing about Avatar.

The ending monologue by his father is one of the greatest in film history, you nigging nigger.

You didn't even pick the right one from the right movie.

>I honestly think it's quite underrated.
I think so too, i only recently watched it on tv knowing nothing about it beforehand and couldn't believe it hadn't been on my radar earlier.

It's probably a better one with all things considered but I honestly like Monty's more. Regardless, the final is sublime and shows just how strong of a character actor Brian Cox really is.

On that note. He's another great monologue delivered by Brian Cox.

youtube.com/watch?v=JHVqxD8PNq8

watch Stone if you haven't seen it. I thought it looked crap from the preview but it's actually pretty good and Norton is really great despite what you might think from the trailer.

I saw the trailer too and usually I'll watch regardless, but that trailer REALLY turned me off.
Thanks for the suggestion. I could use more Norton anyway.

Cool speech bro, the movie would have been better if it was in there, but this is just from the TvTropes fourms, not the actual movie.

Yeah, it was just to get discussion going. I figure a few people saying, 'that's not in there!' occasionally keeps the thread bumped enough to keep the real discussion flowing.

You played me, dubs. You played me.

Might as well contribute.

And I'm sure there are a whole bunch of fun monologues from House I don't remember.

What's the difference between a speech and a monologue?

I'm no expert, but I think that the only difference is that a monologue happens in a movie, or in a play, or on TV.

Here's a playlist of movie monologues. I didn't go through a vet all of them, but at a glance I see some excellent monologues.

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbEb562CLykEDlB41pzqtMMVhQmGbad1i

A monologues are speeches, which encompass soliloquys and asides.

Fanny and Alexander has two that are both pretty moving.

loved this on desu

All that is fucking terrible

Am I the only person who absolutely hates Kenneth Branagh?

I can tolerate thespians that are more overt with their emotions than others. Fuck, half of Olivier's performances scream out "I'm acting" but we ignore those in lieu of the great ones. Branagh doesn't have those. He comes off as a poor Olivier impersonator. Worst of all he has not aptitude for the right tone or manner for any of his performances and because he's directing himself no one challenges or corrects him. I have never, ever understood why anyone likes him.

Superior To be monologue coming though

Dubs. I remember when I saw this movie for the first time, and I really didn't understand this scene, or the whole point of the movie. I've seen it five times now. Brilliant movie. The Coen Brothers are great, and so is McCarthy.

t. Joe Diversity, Head of Immigration of the State of New York

What's your take on it now, after watching it a few times?

Sensational monologue. As is the opening one.

This film really is virtually flawless and Tommy is a huge contributor to why that is so.

I've gotta agree with you, but I think I've only seen Branagh in two roles: Hamlet and Gilderoy Lockhart. He was perfect for Lockhart,

Was he good in Valkyrie?

How about this one !?
m.youtube.com/watch?v=0KFVLWX7eEY

>Was he good in Valkyrie?

He did what he does in all roles where he's not the protagonist: blend in.

He really is mediocre.

pretty sure it's from warhammer

Screw you !! I like him. Love to see him directing the contemporary pieces. "Dead Again" is very good Hitchcockian effort & very underrated (#￣3￣)

That combined with the end of the movie was amazing.
The rest of the movie was kinda boring though.

I've never seen Dead Again but I'm sure his wife overshadows him as she always does.

What specifically do you like about him? He seems so unnatural yet almost bemusedly seems so rehearsed. Look at that Hamlet monologue posted earlier. What in the fuck is he doing with the one arm raised in that manner? Also considering he starts with a wideshot he's so stiff and rigid. He has room to move for the first half? Why not use it? If he was always going to push in so slowly he had a plethora of time to play with in staging before his room to move was cut out and it would have worked better because that monologue intensifies as it progresses. He doesn't. He maintains the same tone throughout. The camera is the only thing escalating the drama in that and when a slow push in is emphasising things more than you're performance you're in trouble. He is seriously awful. You could go to a performance of Hamlet at any community or university theatre and I guarantee you'll see at least one person with a better grasp of Shakespeare than him.

He's shit.

What the fuck the ending was the worst part of the movie. Plodding and had none of the tension that the rest of the film had.

Some people like hanging out and working with a bunch of other like-minded individuals that like guns and think the same things that they do.
Also, the characters in the movie worked for a private company.
Retard.

This one:
youtube.com/watch?v=gM4DkF2rQ4U.

Is it too short to be a monologue? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe fuck yourself.

>Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA.

Greatest monologue ever written and delivered. No one can prove wrong.

I can.

I agree. People who cannot live without direction or someone else controlling their lives will happily join army.

===== THE ONLY PATRICIAN RESPONSE IN THIS THREAD =====

>20:48

didn't watch

It is on a day like this one, a little later, a little earlier, that you discover, without surprise, that something is wrong, that you don't know how to live and that you never will. Something has broken. You no longer feel some thing which until then fortified you. The feeling of your existence, the impression of belonging to or being in the world, is starting to slip away from you. Your past, your present and your future merge into one. You are 25 years old, you have 29 teeth, three shirts and eight socks, 500 francs a month to live on, a few books you no longer read, a few records you no longer play. You don't want to remember anything else. Here you sit, and you only want to wait, just to wait until there's nothing left to wait. You go back to your room, you undress, you slip between the sheets, you turn out the light, you close your eyes. Now is the time when dream-women, too quickly undressed, crowd in around you, the time when you reread ad nauseam books you've a read a thousand times before, when you toss and turn for hours without getting to sleep. This is the hour when your eyes wide open in the darkness, you hand groping towards the foot of the narrow bed in search of an ashtray, matches, a last cigarette, you calmly measure the sticky extent of your unhappiness. Unhappiness did not swoop down on you, it insinuated itself almost ingratiatingly. It meticulously impregnated your life, your movements, the hours you keep, your room, it took possession of the cracks in the ceiling, of the lines in your face in the cracked mirror, of the pack of cards; it slipped furtively into the dripping tap on the landing, it echoes in sympathy with the chimes of each quarter-hour from the bell of Saint-Roch.

How many times you have repeated the same amputated gesture, the same journey's that lead nowhere? All you have left to fall back on are your tuppeny-halfpenny boltholes, your idiotic patience, the thousand and one detours that always lead you back unfailingly to your starting point. All that counts is your solitude: whatever you do, wherever you go, nothing that you see has any importance, everything you do, you do in vain, nothing that seek is real. Solitude alone exists, every time you are confronted, every time you face yourself.

The Man Who Sleeps (1974)

I prefer the BLACKED homage The Man Who Sleeps With Your Wife (2016)

what a fucking shit thread

>mfw i spent three days in nyc and it's all completely true
Your city is like a third world country the second you take two steps outside of manhatten, jesus christ.

Why? Not enough superheroes for you? Or too much reading?

Travis Bickle: I'll tell you why. I think you're a lonely person. I drive by this place a lot and I see you here. I see a lot of people around you. And I see all these phones and all this stuff on your desk. It means nothing. Then when I came inside and I met you, I saw in your eyes and I saw the way you carried yourself that you're not a happy person. And I think you need something. And if you want to call it a friend, you can call it a friend.
Betsy: Are you gonna be my friend?
Travis Bickle: Yeah.

I'd honestly pick a lot of Travis's internal monologues over that.

They're a shit load more honest and lot more poetic.

It's the idealisation, friend. She'd never ask that question after that monologue, in his idealised world she might.

Is it possible to get a link to these monologues?

The film is in french, so it's hard to find the monologue in written form. You can try looking at a book called "A Man Asleep" by Georges Perec, because the film was based on it and was written by the same person.

>If we're going to die, I want you to know something. I was in the pharmacy a while ago. There was a really good-looking pharmacist behind the counter. Really good-looking. I went up and asked her where the cough syrup was. I didn't even have a cough, and I almost bought it. I'm talking about a completely superfluous bottle of cough syrup, which costs like six bucks.

>"Dead Again" is very good Hitchcockian effort & very underrated (#￣3￣)

my fucking nigga, i love that movie too, the premise about rebirth is a bit unusual but it sure does build up suspense and the casting is really good, robin williams absolutely rocked his part...
seen it probably 30 times since i'm a kid, one of my favourites.
do you like peters friends by branagh?

this, the ending monologue whas way better.

youtube.com/watch?v=A-yZNMWFqvM

Two expeptional examples and one I haven't watched.

Why the fuck haven't I watch Great Dictator yet? It's literally sitting on my shelf. I got it City Lights and Modern Times on DVD on special for like $2 each and still haven't watched one of them.

Someone please kill me.
