How to Make my Scene Better

I feel like this scene is very still in the fact that there isn't a lot of moving, in the movie there is even less than I am portraying so I feel that in order for the audience to get bored you have to use your voice and your words to captivate them. In this scene, my character uses a lot of somber vocabulary to show the audience how he is hurting and how he misses his lost love but he also sheds light on the situation by talking about his son and how well he is doing. In my opinion, I have to put emphasis on the scene that is really the climax for me and thats when he talks about two very different things he was taught in his life and how they are connected, I feel like if I could speak a certain way and convey how important it is that he is realizing this it would make the scene really come alive and really make the audience resonate with the character in the way I want them too. I feel like if I can make these improvements that my scene will go from "good" to "great"

Blocking for Scene

The scene I am doing is the monologue from Forrest Gump where Forrest Gump is talking to Jenny's grave about how life has been and how Little Forrest is doing and how Little Forrest wrote her a letter. This scene in the movie does not have a lot going on but I am going to try and incorporate movement into the scene and maybe go kneel down in front of the grave and kiss it as if I am kissing her as like a symbol as that even though she is not physically with me that she is still with me. I may also just like pace a little bit to show that I am upset and also to try and extend the scene since the monologue is fairly short and I want to show a little bit more emotion and how this has affected him. I'm not exactly sure as to what I am going to use as a grave yet but I am going to hopefully going to figure that out soon and I am going to have an envelope that says "Momma" on it from "Little Forrest". As for now thats all I have but I am working on other ideas and how I would incorporate them, they are just not clear to me right now.

Forrest Gump Monologue

FORREST: "You died on a Saturday morning. And I had you placed here under our tree. And I had that house of your father's bulldozed to the ground. Momma always said dyin' was a part of life. I sure wish it wasn't. Little Forrest, he's doing just fine. About to start school again soon. I make his breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. I make sure he combs his hair and brushes his teeth every day. Teaching him how to play ping-pong. He's really good. We fish a lot. And every night, we read a book. He's so smart, Jenny. You'd be so proud of him. I am. He, uh, wrote a letter, and he says I can't read it. I'm not supposed to, so I'll just leave it here for you. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away."
