Describe your job in three words.
13
I'm unemployed now.
14
Tell us about the first time you both met met?
15
So the first time I met Denzel, I was in Morocco shooting the first day that Denzel was on set.
16
I was going to go up and say hello.
17
I have no shame in admitting this, but I was a little bit scared.
18
And then I waited at the bottom of the stairs, because it was like up in this balcony, I waited at the bottom of the stairs, and I was like two,
19
three minutes passed, and I was like, I'll do this tomorrow.
20
So I bailed, and then I met you the second So where did we actually meet then?
21
The second day.
22
I remember this so clearly.
23
You put your hand out, we shook hands, and you go, whacked me on the shoulder and you go, stop working out, man.
24
Oh yeah, I was pissed off?
25
So that's my part of the story.
26
Right, have you learned anything from each other whilst working on this film?
27
Absolutely not.
28
What a waste of time you are hanging around you.
29
I don't know.
30
I learned that I'll never want to do it again.
31
What's your name, by the way?
32
Teaser.
33
And you're famous for?
34
being in a film with you.
35
I learned about humility from you.
36
Really?
37
Humble man, good man.
38
That's very kind.
39
Good, humble, hardworking.
40
Didn't need to get thrown around as much as you did, but I enjoyed it.
41
But a good man, I mean it.
42
I appreciate that.
43
The thing that I learned that I found so leveling was that regardless of what you've achieved,
44
the idol that you are to someone, you came with a desire to do nothing else but work.
45
And I think for any young actor, I think it's important to remind people that regardless of where you get to, that doesn't exist unless you have an appetite to work.
46
And I learned that from you and also from Ridley.
47
Which, I have a question, which side of your back would you like to be patted on?
48
I prefer this side of your back.
49
Yeah, great.
50
There you go.
51
Right.
52
What's the biggest challenge of your career so far?
53
There's no one thing.
54
There's never...
55
It's cumulative, right?
56
Yeah, it's cumulative.
57
For me the biggest challenge is like navigating having a life outside of work because I love Work, you know, I don't know whether you have a thought on
58
that or whether it's just something that you find a way to navigate those priorities shift.
59
I can tell you 50 years of experience I've learned to put it down and go home.
60
Yeah, my happiness doesn't come from the roles I play
61
or the accolades people have given me and that was that always true.
62
No, absolutely not You know I can I'm telling you from 70 years of experience don't listen to them.
63
Yeah That's too so yeah spend quiet time Five minutes every morning just be quiet hard to do yeah,
64
I'm talking to everybody in this room Very hard to do five minutes of quiet don't reach for it.
65
Don't think about it, which is impossible Don't reach for it.
66
You know what I'm talking about your devices If you could have played the lead in any film in history, what would it be?
67
I played the lead in every film.
68
It's historic because somebody else made it historic.
69
Yeah, if you want to do it, that's the reason to leave it alone.
70
Yeah, exactly.
71
Which actor in history do you most admire?
72
All right, I'm changing the game.
73
Three actors.
74
Three actors, yeah. That you admire.
75
And I'm not one of them.
76
There you go.
77
All right, two X.
78
Exactly.
79
I love Michelle Williams, Betty David, Sidney, Meryl Streep, Marlon Brando, James Dean, Al Pacino.
80
What advice would you give your 18 year old self?
81
In other words, what were you thinking when COVID started?
82
18 year old self, never be the person in the room who hasn't done the most amount of work.
83
I would tell my 18 year old self it's okay to
84
not know what you want to do with the rest of your life.
85
When I was 18 I was scared because I was like okay I'll be a doctor so I was pre-med
86
And I had a course called chordate morphogenesis.
87
What is that?
88
I don't know I still don't know but I played a doctor on TV What was your first I've made it moment?
89
What was your first I've made it moment like was there a moment when that happens?
90
I'll tell you really you still feel that made what made it like that you've got
91
I felt that the first time somebody paid me to be an actor.
92
I never thought when I went to drama school.
93
I think people maybe misconstrued that it's like, oh, suddenly when you walk onto a big film, or you walk into your opening on Broadway, or you walk into a big paycheck,
94
that that's what actors think is the I've made apartment.
95
But I think when I went to drama school for three years, I was like, there's still no guarantee that somebody's going to turn around to be like,
96
hey, we deem you worthy enough to be an actor an actor.
97
So for me, when I was cast in a play for the first time, I was like, not that I've made it, like that there's a destination, but that I was like...
98
I still save canned foods.
99
Never know.
100
Yeah.
101
Yeah.
102
No, I remember keeping cans of food and stuff, so maybe whenever I stopped recording cans of food, I knew I made it.
103
Okay, I got one for you.
104
If you had to fill in the back of this, what would you write down?
105
What would I fill it in with?
106
What is the thing that keeps you up at night?
107
Only the mistakes have been mine.
108
Yeah, that's fucking brutal.
109
If you were 20 years older than you are now, you'd be 20 years older than you are now.
110
Just to clarify, Denzala's reading nothing.
111
I'm reading nothing.
112
My mother said to me one time, she used to say, boy, the older you get, the older you get.
113
Yeah.
114
Like, no wiser, just older.
115
Yeah.
116
Oh, I'll tell you a moment.
117
I thought I was hot stuff.
118
I came home early on in my career or something, and I knew I was a movie star, and I came to my mother on the beauty shop,
119
and I said, Ma, did you ever think it was going to be like this, and that I was going to make it?
120
She said, what did you say?
121
I think I was in trouble.
122
She said, what did you say?
123
Let me tell you something.
124
So she started calling me superstar.
125
She said, oh, you're a superstar, huh?
126
I'll tell you what, superstar.
127
Go in the back, superstar.
128
Get that bucket and that squeegee and some soap and water and hit those windows, superstar.
129
When you finish Superstar, grab the mop and mop the floor down.
130
Wipe it all the way down.
131
Superstar, have you finished wiping it down?
132
Are you in the back, Superstar?
133
Yeah, the Coke bottles, they have roaches in them, don't they?
134
Right.
135
Turn them over, get the roaches, I mean, this is a true story.
136
Get the roaches out, clean all the bottles.
137
They got the message.
138
I've heard you say something like this before, where you're like, when people talk about the hardest thing about being an actor, and you say, this isn't hard.
139
Picking up garbage is hard.
140
That's the garbage man.
141
Yeah, that's right.
142
Now, here's a question for you all.
143
What would you do with five minutes of silence?
144
I pray for your generation because we did not have to deal with what you've had to deal with.
145
And it's our fault for putting it in your hands.
146
There were no nine million opinions of every moment of my day.
147
No documentation.
148
People that like you and then suddenly they hate you and you don't understand why.
149
I never had, I don't even know what you call it, an Instagram account.
150
I've never had one.
151
Link, what's the other name?
152
Link?
153
LinkedIn.
154
I don't have any of those things.
155
You don't have a LinkedIn?
156
No, no. I have a Cadillac.
157
And on that note, we're out.
158
Very good.

Cosa imparerai da questo clip
Questo dialogo tra Paul Mescal e Denzel Washington è una vera gemma per migliorare la pronuncia inglese e esercitare il shadowspeak. Imparerai a gestire le conversazioni informali con naturalezza, a usare il tono per esprimere ironia o affetto (come nella battuta su "non aver imparato niente") e a rispondere in modo spontaneo a domande impreviste. Inoltre, osserverai come i native speakers usano frasi incomplete o ripetizioni per mantenere il flusso, una skill chiave per parlare inglese con fluidità.
Ascolta questi suoni
Nella conversazione, noterai diversi esempi di connected speech e riduzioni. Ad esempio, "I'm unemployed now" diventa quasi "I'm unem-ployed now" con un legame tra "I'm" e "unemployed". Oppure, "What's your name" si trasforma in "Wha's your name" con la riduzione di "What's" a "Wha's". Anche le pause sono importanti: Paul usa pause brevi ("due, tre minuti passati") per creare suspense, un trucco per mantenere l'attenzione. Questi dettagli fanno la differenza nella pronuncia autentica.
Parla come un native
Per imitare il ritmo e l'accento dei parlanti, usa la tecnica del shadowing in inglese: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripettala immediatamente, cercando di copiare il tono, la velocità e le pause. Nota come Denzel usa l'enfasi su "stop working out, man" per rendere la battuta divertente, o come Paul mette l'accento su "appetito per lavorare" per sottolineare un punto importante. Prova a ripetere le battute ironiche ("Absolutely not. What a waste of time") con lo stesso tono leggero: questo ti aiuterà a capire come l'intonazione cambia il significato. Un shadowing site può essere utile per esercitarti, ma anche ripetere il video a lungo termine ti porterà a migliorare senza sforzo.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | you've achieved · I've learned · have given |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | was pissed · be patted · was cast |
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.
