“The Movie Buff” (drama) 1 Minute

Monologue Description: “The Movie Buff” is about a prisoner’s world.

Character Description: In this monologue, Solomon introduces himself to a fellow inmate.

SOLOMON:

I’ve always been a bigtime movie buff. Always loved the stars, especially tough man films. Guys like Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Edward G. Robinson, Robert De Niro or Bobby D as I like to call him. Guys like Bruce Willis, Al Pacino…those guys and a whole shit more…

I’m a big fan of gangster films. My thing was trying to capture what they did in the movie, in my real life. Like, for example, in the movie Goodfellas, when Joe Pesci took the screw driver and stuck it in the back of the loudmouth’s skull. I tried that out. Or like in the movie The Godfather when Lucca Brassi was choked from behind. One of the best scenes in movie history by the way if you ask me. I love his fucking face and how he struggled to live, even though he was slowly dying. God, beautiful, beautiful. Those guys are geniuses. I took the choke approach at least two or three times with my own work.

But one of my personal favorites is in that movie Amercian History X, when that actor–oh shit–what the fuck is his name??? OH! EDWARD NORTON! That’s right, good actor, good actor. I liked it when he put that black guys mouth to the curb and slammed his foot down on him for the crunch. I actually tried that one out on a female once. Figure I’d mix it up a bit. No harm in that right??

They call me sol (pronounced soul), short for Solomon. I don’t have much soul but that’s the irony of life. Soul is just a concept. Don’t ya think???
