i love this monologue, but many directors frown on movie monologues. Plus it would just make me compare you to kate winslet as an auditor, which may not be a good thing for you. As a director I would think oh she's no kate winslet if you weren't exactly like her, or even worse if you were, I would think she's just imitating kate winslet, its an ugly double edged sword. If you like it, you can do it for an on camera acting class but I would NEVER recommend usuing it for theatre.

Yes this is a great piece to learn. It can be a good idea to get a monologue from a movie as long as there is meaning behind it.

I agree with the above poster. Some directors hate it when someone auditions with a monologue from a movie, but if its a good monologue, then I would go for it! Just make sure that you are not mocking the actor who first said these lines and make it unique and interesting. Captivate them and show your emotions.

Good luck!
