1
What is the story of Quentin Tarantino?
2
I've been a fan of Quentin's work for a long time, and I love the fact that he was,
3
you know, sort of recreating his own history in a deeply American, you know, context.
4
With this sort of spaghetti western Sergio Leone genre mixed into it, something only Quentin Tarantino can do.
5
And this character really reminded me of a young sort of Louis XIV that was rotting from the inside.
6
As he put it, which I like to say, he's somebody that really represented the moral decay of the South during that time period.
7
I mean, he was the worst of the worst of plantation owners and I, you know, it was too well written to pass up,
8
and I'd always wanted to work with Jamie Foxx, and of course, you know, the great Christoph Waltz and Sam Jackson.
9
There's too many great elements to this movie to ever look away.
10
It's a fantasy film in a lot of different respects.
11
I mean, you know, just like Inglourious Bastard was, he's sort of recreating history,
12
but there's nothing in the film that isn't historically accurate as far as what these people were like during that time period.
13
He's an amazing actor, first off, and he's such a powerful force when it comes on set.
14
I mean, you read your dialogue, and you think about the scene in a very specific way,
15
and then this tornado just comes in that is Sam Jackson, and you need to step up to the plate
16
and try to bring yourself up to that energy because he just takes over, and it's amazing.
17
I mean, what he did with this role is astounding.
18
I think what's so different about this movie is the fact that we have,
19
you know, Jamie Foxx as this man that has been enslaved his entire life, but is becoming self -empowered and freeing himself.
20
And we've never seen anything like that cinematically ever.
21
It's always been a much different dynamic.
22
And, you know, of course, you know, we show the atrocities of that time period and the way these slaves were treated,
23
but to see the self -empowered hero take matters into his own hands, it's, of course, recreating history in a lot of ways,
24
but like I said before, none of this wasn't historically accurate, and everything in this movie,
25
things like this, did happen, but only in a.. we get to see it through Quentin Tarantino's eyes.
26
Only somebody like Quentin Tarantino can do.
27
I mean, he's really got to...
28
If anyone tried to duplicate what he does, I think they would be sued for copyright infringement, because he's got his own unique, specific style.
29
And when you see a Quentin Tarantino movie, you know you're gonna be incredibly entertained, and there's gonna be things and elements,
30
not only character -wise and story -wise, but music -wise that are just gonna be completely shocking and take a second to adjust to.
31
But, you know, like in this film, bringing hip -hop into a pre -Civil War period piece is so audacious, but it works.
32
You know, it's amazing.
33
To work alongside some of these people is amazing.
34
And what was really great about the ensemble that we had was everyone was so incredibly supportive of one another.
35
I mean, I remember some of the earlier read -throughs
36
that we had when we all sat down at a table with Jamie and Carrie and Kristoff and Sam and myself.
37
And we were talking about our characters and the different aspects of them and the way these relationships would connect.
38
And, you know, to hear
39
Sam Jackson and Jamie Foxx say, Look, you know, I know this is a troubling character.
40
I know he is.. it might be difficult to do,
41
but if you don't go the distance with this guy and make him as despicable as possible, people aren't going to embrace that as the truth.
42
They're going to think we're sugarcoating the subject matter.
43
So, in essence, the further you go with him, the more truth you're going to speak.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
