Creazione lezione...
1
You had a moment on Forrest Gump.
2
Of course, you're working with Robert Zemeckis.
3
You're working with him on Forrest Gump.
4
And you said, you're sitting there on the bench.
5
And you just thought, is anyone going to watch?
6
That's exactly right.
7
What did you say?
8
Is anyone going to watch this?
9
Is anyone going to care about this guy?
10
We had worked so hard, so much.
11
And we were only about 40% through with the movie.
12
We still had a ton of stuff that we had to do.
13
We had shot 27 straight days in a row,
14
which included helicopter rides to like places in America where, uh, forest runs across the country, you know, with a beard, without a beard, you know,
15
we've been all over the place and I'm exhausted.
16
I'm fried.
17
And we've got like, we've got like 36 hours to shoot this stuff in Cherokee square in Savannah.
18
And I'm, you know, I'm there dressed and we have a ton of act, uh, kind of, uh, actors that are coming.
19
Cause they're going to sit next to me on, on the bus bench.
20
And we were trying to shoot so much that I said, Bob, there is no way my sad little brain can learn this much dialogue
21
because I've got a page and a page and a page and a page and a page.
22
And that's just up to lunch.
23
I, you know, if you think I'm going to be word perfect on this, you're out of your mind.
24
And don't worry about it, Tom.
25
We'll just put it on cards like it's I Love Lucy.
26
And you know, we'll slide the cameras around so we say, you don't want to have to get a bar.
27
Robert Zemeckis is a ventriloquist dummy.
28
We've worked together a lot.
29
So actually, no, I know what that means now.
30
I know what it means.
31
And so we were doing it.
32
And in all honesty, you know, you do it twice and then you get it down.
33
So it goes pretty fast.
34
And we were midway through like a day.
35
We shot all that stuff in a day, all the stuff on the thing.
36
This is you on the park bench, iconic.
37
Yeah, we shot it in a day.
38
And at one point, you know, I'm just, you know, I'm trying to read it.
39
I said, guys, can you make the print a little bit better just for these first couple of takes?
40
But then I'll get it down.
41
Don't worry about it.
42
And the other actors are coming in.
43
You want to run this?
44
Go like that.
45
And at one point, you know, Bob is sitting there next to me and I said, I don't know, Bob, you know,
46
anybody going to care about this guy dressed up in like this kooky ice cream suit sitting on this bench?
47
Saying stuff, you know, is it going to cut together?
48
Is it going to matter?
49
Is it going to make any sense?
50
And Bob goes, well, that's the thing about making movies, Tom.
51
It's a minefield.
52
It's just a fucking minefield.
53
We don't know if we're sowing the seeds of our own destruction or not.
54
That is the truth of every single moment that you're standing in front of, look, I, you know, I made this movie and that was altered,
55
you know, and I always say in years to come, we'll be talking about a movie called cloud Atlas.
56
I made it with the Warshowskis and that was one of the most vibrant, loving, hardworking, magnificent thing.
57
And when it came out, it was just like, Oh, Oh, Hey, nice movie.
58
Meanwhile, the Incredibles are, you know, you're all, you're, we got lost in, in the horse race.
59
So all you can do is show up and go there.
60
Everybody says, how'd you do that scene?
61
Oh, I'll show you.
62
I showed up that day and we all went there.
63
Is there any trick to it?
64
Yeah.
65
Here's the trick.
66
Go there. And if you, if
67
that means you got to put yourself through some sort of psychological hell in order to get there, go there.
68
Now you might know this, you show up to work
69
and you're going to do a convivial happy hilarious scene right everything works great
70
and you know you know what happened the day before
71
that uh your dog got hit by it you know every
72
tragedy has happened to you eight hours prior to show up
73
and just be correct is it fun to be in love
74
and shoot a montage where we're licking ice and we're holding hands
75
and we're skipping stones and playing a beach ball
76
and then we're dancing in a gazebo
77
and it's on with the worst days of your friggin life right yeah
78
and then other days where you got to go
79
and you have to like go to a place that's incredibly dark
80
and stormy and crazy
81
and all you did last night was laugh like crazy at
82
the karaoke bar with the rest the guys in the crew
83
and said guys it's it's two o'clock in the morning i love to sing another elvis song
84
but i have to weep and cry at eight o'clock in the morning
85
so i think i'm gonna i think we're gonna go return
86

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.
