Monologues : Toni Servillo Giulio Andreotti

Beside Film of the week, today's blog Daedalus opens Monologues, a new book that aims to raise the monologues in our opinion the most significant in the history of cinema and theater available online. It 's also a way to suggest ideas to work on during the year when you need to have a monologue ready to be tested in class, or simply to keep them in mind in view of the feared final hearings in June and September. And most importantly, for the specimens in the casting.

The first monologue that we want to remember here is from a very famous film, Il Divo by Paolo Sorrentino, which maybe some of you have not yet seen (and then do it immediately, what are you waiting!), But which surely all that to you heard. And 'the response of the film to shady deals made by Andreotti and his cronies during the second half of last century.

Now in its seventh term as President of the Council of Ministers, and the investigation of the judiciary, which build on the growing relationship between Julius and the Mafia, the character played by Toni Servillo, simulating a hypothetical dialogue with the wife Livia, finds the courage to confess their sins in private. However, there seems to regret it, not at all.

Here is the text of the monologue:

Livia, your eyes are full that struck me one afternoon went to the Verano cemetery, we walked and I chose that place for singles to ask her in marriage, remember? You know your eyes filled with clean, beautiful and enchanting they did not know they do not know and do not know and have no idea. They have no idea of \u200b\u200bthe ravages that power must commit to ensure the welfare and development of the country. For too long the power was not me. The monstrous, unspeakable contradiction: to perpetuate the evil to ensure the good. The contradiction monstrous that makes me a cynical and incomprehensible for you, your eyes full, clean and enchanted not know the direct or indirect responsibility for the massacres that took place in Italy from 1969 to 1984 and who had died and 208 to be precise 817 wounded. To all the families of the victims I tell you, I confess it was also my fault, my fault, my greatest fault. I say this even if you do not need. The massacres in order to destabilize the country, causing terror, to isolate the extreme political parties, to strengthen the centrist parties such as the DC. Have adopted the strategy of tension: it would be more correct to say the strategy of survival. Roberto, Michael, George, Carlo Alberto, Aldo, vocation or necessity, all but diehard fans of the truth, all ready to explode bombs which were defused with the final silence. Everyone to think that truth is the right thing and instead it is the end of the world! We can not allow the end of the world in the name of a good thing! We have a mandate from us, a divine mandate! We must love God so much to understand how necessary evil for good. God knows this, and I know myself.
