Monologue Soliloquy

最近帶學生表演藝術課，介紹 「獨白」，英語字有兩種：monologue  soliloquy,

一般大家用monologue，我在我舊的部落格介紹過幾本一分鐘獨白劇的書，而如果要嚴格區...

在國外，monologue是表演藝術課程裡的一個基礎磨功，
各位朋友可以到 YouTobe 打上 關鍵字  "monologue"，就有不少小孩子的演出片段，同時也可提供訓練小朋友演說的參考。

在我的表演課，我把英語和表演藝術結合起來，在此提供幾個資源讓有興趣的老師們做參考：
一、海底總動員（Finding Nemo）：Dory 的獨白影片。    

DORY：
No..no, you can't! Stop! Please don't go away. Please? No one's ever stuck with me for so long before. And if you leave, if you leave...I just, I remember things better with you. I do. Look, P. Sherman, 42..40..2..agh! I remember it, I do. It's there, I know it is because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I, I look at you and...I'm home. Please. I don't want them to go away. I don't wanna forget.

二、花木蘭（Mulan）：木須龍出場的橋段：
Mulan :   
It's going to take a miracle to get me into the army.
Mushu:  
Did I hear someone ask for a miracle!? Let me hear you say aye!
Mulan:     
Ahhhhhh.
Mushu:   
That's close enough.
Mulan:    
Ghost.
Mushu:    
Get ready Mulan your serpentine salvation is at hand. For I have been sent by your ancestors-- to guide you through your masquerade. C'mon, you're gonna stay you're gonna work. Heed my word, 'cause if the army finds out that you are a girl, the penalty is death.
Mulan:
Who are you?
Mushu: 
Who am I? Who am I? I am the guardian of lost souls. I am the powerful, the pleasurable, the indestructible Mushu! Oh hah, hah, pretty hot, huh?


三、阿拉丁  (Aladdin)  片頭介紹：
Peddler:
Ah, Salaam and good evening to you worthy friend. Please, please, come closer--(Camera zooms in hitting peddler in face)  Too close, a little too close. (Camera zooms back out to CU) There. Welcome to Agrabah. City of mystery, of enchantment, and the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan, on sale today, come on down!  Heh, heh. Look at this! Yes! Combination hookah and coffee maker--also makes Julienne fries. Will not break, will not--it broke. Ooohhh!  Look at this! I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen. Ah, still good. Wait, don't go! I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think then, you would be most rewarded to consider...this. (PEDDLER pulls the MAGIC LAMP out from his sleeve.)  Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man who liked this lamp was more than what he seemed. A diamond in the rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale? It begins on a dark night , where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose.



另外，受限於學生的程度，我只給學生看兩部有名的奧斯卡影帝的獨白傑作：
一是1993年艾爾帕西諾 (Al Pacino) 主演的「女人香」(Scent of a Woman)，最後精彩的演講。
另一是去年柯林弗斯(Colin Firth)主演的「王者之聲」(The King's Speech)，對全國人民廣播，令人動容的演說。

如果孩子沒有心理準備，不願玩獨白劇，不要強硬逼他們，就用這些影片讓他們欣賞獨白劇的魅力吧！
