Pratica di Shadowing: Brad Pitt & Javier Bardem on Driving 180mph & Training with Lewis Hamilton w/ 'F1' Cast - Impara a parlare inglese con i video

This is around the table with the cast of F1.

Some of the cast.

Not necessarily the best of the cast.

Hey!

But a lot of the cast.

Listen, let's get this straight.

We all lose our jobs if you can't pull off a miracle.

No pressure, Ron.

The first time out at Silverstone, when we're, you know, that day one, we're filming, there's over 100,000 fans, and we got everything coordinated prep.

We're going to get 15 minutes on the track.

We cannot cock this up because if we lose the car there, they're going to have to come and tow it out, and we're going to screw up the whole schedule.

And do comm checks, belts on, everything, sit in the car, waiting, waiting, waiting.

It's time to go, and we take off.

My comms went out.

Oh. With Lutz.

I had no comms.

Oh, I remember that.

Oh, God.

And suddenly, it's the first time on the track with fans filming, and we have no comms.

But fortunately, we choreographed it so much that we just wung it.

Wow.

You were amazing.

Wham, wham, wham.

Yeah.

It was like, you got to go, right?

You got to go.

And still, you were also acting, do you have to say?

Yes.

Allegedly.

Take that, Lewis Hamilton.

Some call it acting.

I call beautiful acting.

Everyone is great.

Even like Will Buxton and all the Crofty and Martin Brundle, all the sportscasters who gave us that legitimacy.

Well, you were the best dressed on the set.

Oh, that's true.

He's the best dressed on and off the set.

I mean, look at that green.

Look at that.

Everybody was sweating in their things, in their driving gear.

And it was me like, what is wearing Ruben tonight?

Climbed a mountain to get here, bro.

Formula One.

Back home we call that a participation trophy.

Honestly though, when I used to watch you go by, I was like, I think he's going quicker than me.

I'm not even lying.

When I used to watch you go by, I was thinking, I'm definitely quicker than you.

You didn't say that.

Not even, not even.

Wisely, they never let us on the track at the same time, really.

We were both so fast, and we drove up to 180 miles per hour, which is insane.

I know, the first question was, how fast did you go?

And it's really, that's not what's so awesome about these cars, because speed becomes relative.

And that's when you're in the straight line.

That's actually when you can catch your breath, take a little look around.

It's like the high-speed corners.

It's just shocking to take, and that you can brake, and it'll stop you.

What do you hear?

Oh, a good one.

Really, it's that engine.

That's what I would always hear.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Engine is going.

You're not even watching your gears, really, because you start to get attuned to what gear you're in.

In the beginning, though, I definitely used to look at it.

Oh, yeah, in the beginning.

Yeah, I was like, okay, two.

And by the time you look up, you're already at the end of the road.

In the beginning, how many unintended off-road trips do you think you took?

I haven't counted, but I'm probably in the second hand, probably.

Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was definitely doing some detours.

I want to give you the tips to know where you have to we would go, we would sit down, we'd have a map of the track, and go through what we were aiming for at each section.

So we know when we hit this point, we gotta get choreographed this moment.

And we choreograph with the cars and get the lines in at that point.

Well...

It's start.

The funniest thing about the whole process for me was, You could only see the eyes when you're driving.

So if I was normally saying it, I'd be like, hey, how far away is Sonny?

Right, nothing's happening.

So Joe would be like, you need to do more.

I'm like, do more?

What do you mean?

So then I was like, how far away is Sonny?

It's so true.

It was insane.

I mean, we're trying to be like subtle, right?

High acting.

Oh, yeah.

A blink?

Oh my gosh.

Oscar nomination, a blink.

A blink.

Oh my god, he blinked.

Today, to be honest, I feel like a kid, seeing Brad at work.

Yeah, I don't think we could have done this film without Lewis Hamilton.

100

I think it was so smart of Joe.

101

The first thing he did when he had this idea, put actors and cars on real tracks and embed ourselves in the pinnacle of the sport, F1.

102

He knew he had to get someone to guide us, keep us honest, and his first call was to Lewis.

103

And Lewis, also being a big lover of the arts, jumped in.

104

And we had one 12-hour meeting in London.

105

Just sit down, we were just throwing shit at him.

106

How about this?

107

How about that?

108

And he would tell us and describe his experience.

109

So the whole ending was really based on this spiritual moment that he described in the car.

110

And not only that, the whole crash that we built Sonny's character around, it was this horrendous crash by driver Martin Donnelly.

111

His story to me is every bit as moving as any champion.

112

He was a, he's from Northern Ireland.

113

Yeah, I remember you telling me.

114

It was 1991.

115

He's up and coming.

116

He's the guy.

117

And in that race at Jerez, through no fault of his own, there was a failure in the car.

118

And he hit the wall.

119

My goodness.

120

And that is his crash.

121

And it was career-ending.

122

And he speaks very poetically about his life now, where that turn it took him, and the love for his family.

123

He's really beautiful.

124

I can't thank Martin enough.

125

You think I brought you in to make my other driver quit?

126

Listen, he's cocky, he's arrogant, he's got a lot to learn.

127

You were cocky, you were arrogant, and you had a lot to learn.

128

Did this movie make you want to start driving, Mike?

129

You know what?

130

No. Come on!

131

Even less, I would say.

132

It's absolutely crazy.

133

I admire a lot about a lot of the people, drivers and the racers on the track.

134

It takes so much work of so many people.

135

It's a team sport, though, once you are on the track, on the track, you're on your own.

136

That mental strength is something to admire.

137

Forget about driving 200 miles per hour.

138

It's about being focused.

139

And you guys were able to do that, which is amazing.

140

When did you guys fall in love with Joe Kaczynski throughout the filming of this?

141

Action.

142

Me, it was in the Zoom when he called me to offer me the job.

143

And I was telling him how much I love Top Gun Maverick.

144

Yeah, but I want to talk about something.

145

No, no, no, hold on, hold on, come to Kevin Maverick, because that scene and that moment, and he was like, at the end he said, well, I'll call you all the time just to offer you something.

146

Now I have to hang up.

147

I love this guy.

148

He was so like.

149

When he gave you a job, he was like, I kind of like you.

150

I went, what was that call about?

151

Ah, wow.

152

He was going to offer me something, but I didn't let him talk.

153

What was it for you?

154

Wow, there's so many.

155

When we were doing the scene when we were in the car, and we had five minutes to get the shot,

156

And I was just watching him be an absolute wizard, and just a sensei, and so focused, and just orchestrating everything.

157

And the world of Formula One was just whizzing by.

158

I was just like, this is a master at work.

159

So yeah, that's when I was like, we are in the best hands possible.

160

And so damn lovable.

161

And great tips for directing, for actors.

162

Because many of the scenes, many of the moments like I had to play was one line here, one line there, one reaction,

163

which is kind of difficult because you're playing... For nothing.

164

Yeah, on the Red Cross.

165

And he was very acute on telling me why he would say or react that way.

166

And that's amazing, having in mind that he's holding the pressure of such a big monster of a movie like this.

167

So when you're watching the races, you had to do most of that just to, like, a little red X on the thing.

168

You're not really seeing anything.

169

No, no, no, no. Oh, man, that's so hard.

170

While you were really driving.

171

No. Can I look at Brad driving well?

172

You can only go...

173

Yeah, I know.

174

There's 20 other drivers still out on that track, and you're in here posing for that nonsense.

175

Do you think any of them respect us? Do you?

176

We have the real drivers there, and we are now telling a story about these drivers, and it's our respect and love for them and why we wanted to be there.

177

At the same time, that respect and love, it's just humbling.

178

It's just, like, a bit embarrassing for me for me

179

when we started to be in their suits and their shoes

180

and their helmets and yes yes but fortunately you know after a year

181

and a half of that you know they were

182

so kind i just felt like it was their own backyard

183

yeah yeah our garage was right in the middle of between ferrari and mercedes

184

and then there's these two swans the races these two swans oh the worst scenario oh man swans we had

185

that press conference scene and the real press conference of formula one was happening We've obviously got to play the story.

186

I'm coming out with a smile and Lando's just had a crazy crash

187

He's got he's got actually talk to the press in the about his pen after the races where we

188

Me mom over head geeking off and stuff and Behind Lando's interview.

189

Yeah, but film is forever They're in the movie forever films for 20 years Maybe 30.

190

Hope it's not a strategy.

191

Anything else, Professor?

192

Drive fast.

193

For me, it was hallowed ground, because I watched the sport most of my life, and getting into their little ecosystem.

194

The first weekend, I was rather humble, a little bit embarrassed.

195

We're standing next to the drivers in the national anthem, you just feel like, oh my God.

196

Suck it up.

197

Suck it up.

198

Do your job.

199

Do your job.

200

Well, going into their world, I was terrified we were going to, A, look like amateurs and do it wrong and, you know what I mean, and distract.

201

So I remember just kind of being like, keep the head down, and just go in and do the job.

202

But in terms of the fans, I guess you guys will know more about that, because I was on the pit wall, so.

203

We had a fan encounter with you trying to shoot a scene.

204

Brad had to shoot this scene, and then a fan ran right in the shot to get a picture, remember?

205

Just ran it, and it was like this.

206

This is when we're on the grid.

207

Yeah, yeah.

208

Yes, it's Silverstone.

209

We've got five minutes to get to show.

210

Day two, we're gonna get our two takes to do our scene.

211

It was approaching you.

212

We're walking to that.

213

It's the grid.

214

It's packed.

215

The real drivers, real cars, are getting ready to start the race.

216

And we're gonna get two takes at this, and some fan comes up in the middle and goes, Hey, can I get a picture?

217

Can I get a picture?

218

Really?

219

Yeah.

220

I've got 20 people.

221

Oh, you have pity sorry his head.

222

Oh, he's thinking way too big of himself.

223

A hundred people pick that guy out of it.

224

Yeah.

225

It was so funny.

226

Or when we did the scene where you come back after our first race.

227

I remember when you, once you got your helmet off, we knew we had only a certain amount of takes before people would do the double take and go, hey, hang on a minute, do I know that person?

228

So, remember, we had to be like quick because then people started to recognize it when the game over.

229

This is the fastest walker in the world.

230

I would have to walk with him, right?

231

And I became a part of your security detail too.

232

Wow, the way you move, man, I'm taking it to my life.

233

Really?

234

Really?

235

Yeah, there's no stopping.

236

It's like, boom, oh, Brad's gone.

237

I just figured, like, be the shark.

238

Just keep moving.

239

Absolutely.

240

Keep moving.

241

What's the difference between Joshua Pierce and Sonny Hayes?

242

A lot of decades.

243

Hard-won experience.

244

Of living in a van.

245

Says a guy still lives with his mom.

246

Says a guy with two pets.

247

Says a guy with trips.

248

Says a guy with a full house.

249

I didn't really think about

250

that, like, the woman thing you know i just kind of like thought about my job

251

or whatever and then kind of slotted in with everybody

252

but i had bernie collins who was from ireland so i was like thank god like because

253

she went to an all-girls school kind of similar to me

254

and then so i knew girls in school who'd done engineering in college as well

255

so i just imagined

256

or remembered what they were kind of like what what their forte was like maths

257

and stuff but she was really like normal about it you know she was it was just like, yeah, there was just loads of men in college.

258

So it was like no different.

259

I don't think it's because of F1 not hiring.

260

I think it's just that engineering and maths tend to be more like male interested in them or something.

261

I don't know why.

262

I'm not like studying brains or whatever.

263

But it seems to be a bad.

264

But I mean, I think there's a real effort to open up.

265

Certainly Lewis behind the big opening up in diversity.

266

I'd say like if you're sharp enough, yeah.

267

Like Hannah Schmidt, right?

268

Like she's a strategist for Red Bull.

269

So obviously there's so much money on the line.

270

Damn good.

271

So it's like obviously if you're great.

272

They get it right so often.

273

And also I think there's sacrifices.

274

So you want to be real into it.

275

At the same time though, like a great crack.

276

It's a great job if you're into it, you know?

277

Relapse.

278

Relapse to lifetime.

279

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
