soliloquy

After reviewing the film, Harbaugh said he didn’t want to spend much time singling out every individual performance but couldn’t help himself as he launched into an 11-minute soliloquy highlighting the offense’s explosive plays and ball security, the defense’s connection between the pass rush and the secondary that led to three interceptions and the big returns and blocked field goal on special teams.

The reason for repeatedly doing so isn’t ever made clear and feels as jarring as suddenly cutting away from a fight scene or a soliloquy.

The thunderous rhetoric, which crowds out introspective soliloquy, moves into Broadway power ballad territory when emotions run high.

At one point I was watching Driver deliver the entire “to be or not to be” soliloquy from “Hamlet,” a reference never acknowledged by any of the other characters.

At the end of this soliloquy, the opening credits roll — accompanied by Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls.”
