MOVIE vs MONOLOGUE STYLE....???!!!
yeah.. im not sure if im confused or not..
how confused is THAT!!
the first time i read the p0lay.. with NO background knowledge what so ever, i thought that it had been performed when Antigone was already in the cave... So i started working around with the cave as my setting, and this caused me to face barriers like how to create the image of a cave in the views eyes, how to act claustrophobic and all..
then i read the play.. and watched the movie.. She wasn't talking to herself in the play.. she was actually talking to the people first, the people who had come to see her get punished for a crime they thought she did not do.. I watched the emotions of the actress... it seemed oh so mellow and consistent throughout the monologue, breaking only twice..
I cant possibly do that in the monologue! That would be way way way too boring... So i decided to stick with what i had started off with, the idea of being in a cave, having JUST been thrown in. The monologue has to be emotion packed and engaging, so ill have to add in as much emotion as possible, showing level 10 of grief, sorrow, anger, disbelief and anguish. The power of the whole play, and its message has to be brought out in that one speech, i don't have the whole movie to ride on...
So yeah.. I guess this can be classified as teh turning point of the proces of creating the character..
The way i interpret Antigone, is someone that stays strong in front of others.. but she can only remain that way for that long.. shes human too! There is a time when she breaks down.. and THAT is when i do my monologue..
