Lately, I've been watching an embarrassing amount of...pizza videos.
4
Sourdough pizza, New Haven style pizza, people talking about ovens, chefs explaining dough.
5
I just kept watching it.
6
And if you asked me why, I'd probably answer like Forrest Gump.
7
I kept on going until the algorithm gave me this: The doctor tells him, "If you don't wanna die,
8
you gotta stop making pizza." I saw this trailer for Chef's Table and I was like, come on, so much drama, you're just making pizza.
9
But for some reason I watched the episode and by the end I wasn't laughing anymore.
10
Because it didn't feel like a story about pizza.
11
It weirdly felt like it was describing something that had been happening to my own work.
12
But to understand why, we need to back up.
13
Something strange had been happening with my own work.
14
I started this channel as a passion project, something I did for fun after my regular job.
15
But the more the channel grew, the heavier it became.
16
I think every creative person experiences this at some point.
17
You begin by doing something you genuinely love, but as time goes on, it starts to carry expectations,
18
pressure, and a certain seriousness.
19
What once felt effortless and fun gradually begins to feel like work.
20
I couldn't understand why the thing I loved doing was becoming heavier right when it started working.
21
So I did what I usually do when my own creative process stops making sense.
22
I went back to a movie about someone whose creative process makes even less sense.
23
Adaptation, a film written by Charlie Kaufman about, well, about himself.
24
Charlie is supposed to adapt a best -selling book, The Orchid Thief, into a screenplay, but he's facing an extreme writer's block overthinking everything, unable to write.
25
So throughout the movie, we watch his inner insecurities play out, as he struggles with his creative process.
26
But watching the movie this time around, I paid attention to something else.
27
There was an interesting contradiction.
28
In the movie, Charlie is already a successful screenwriter.
29
He's already written a great screenplay, being John Malkovich.
30
People know his name.
31
Producers want to work with him.
32
So you would think he has achieved what you can call success.
33
But why then this is happening to him?
34
I'm sweating.
35
I've got to stop sweating.
36
Can't you see it tripping down my forehead?
37
Oh, she looked at my hairline.
38
"She thinks I'm bald." "We think you're great." "Oh, wow.
39
Thanks.
40
That's nice to hear." "We all just love the Malkovich script." "Thanks." "Such a unique voice." In this early scene,
41
the producer is basically telling him everything a writer wants to hear.
42
But inside, he's still hearing...
43
Do I have an original thought in my head?
44
My bald head?
45
Maybe if I were happier my hair wouldn't be falling out.
46
I should start jogging again.
47
Five miles a day.
48
Really do it this time.
49
I need to turn my life around.
50
What do I need to do?
51
I need to read more and prove myself.
52
Watching Charlie, I realized his problem isn't just that he can't write.
53
It's that he's waiting for the writing to give him something.
54
the obvious Hollywood version, maybe he'll feel pure.
55
Thank you.
56
But once the work has to do that much, even starting becomes painful.
57
And strangely, Charlie's problems started looking a lot similar to the drama of this guy that I thought was ridiculous.
58
Sorry, got carried away.
59
Back to the story.
60
At first, I thought I knew what kind of story it was: a man destroying himself for perfection.
61
And I still think the episode is a little overdramatic.
62
It does that chef's table thing, where making food becomes this religious sacrifice.
63
But there was one thing in it I couldn't ignore.
64
Chris Bianco had built a restaurant where he had to stay in the middle of everything.
65
The more success I had, the more that I feared disappointing people.
66
Anything that was good said about me, it just made me keep my head down lower.
67
Work harder And never leave the kitchen Long story short, he was trying to control every aspect of his restaurant,
68
and we all know where that leads.
69
But that's not the important point here.
70
What is more important is that how seriously he's taking his job.
71
For me, when I look at so much drama over making pizza, it looks ridiculous.
72
But for him, Everything is on the line.
73
That made me realize something.
74
What if stressing over my work looks just as ridiculous for someone else from the outside?
75
Say, if a doctor who works 12 -hour shifts in the emergency room looked at me from the outside, Wouldn't she say, "Oh my god,
76
so much fuss over making silly YouTube videos." And...
77
Maybe that's it.
78
Maybe the problem Is that we take ourselves and our work too seriously?
79
After realizing this, I started seeing Charlie's problem a little differently too.
80
Charlie wasn't just writing anymore.
81
He was trying to control the work tightly.
82
trying to keep it from becoming the wrong kind of screenplay.
83
You know, I just don't want to ruin it by making a Hollywood thing, you know, like, like, like an Orchid Heist movie or, or something, you know, or, Why can't there be a movie simply about flowers?
84
And I get that.
85
Charlie has taste, he has standards.
86
But at some point, he isn't writing the movie.
87
He's managing everything the movie is not allowed to become.
88
Every direction feels wrong before he even tries it.
89
But then there was another character.
90
Donald, Charlie's twin brother, who suddenly decides he's going to write a screenplay.
91
At first, Donald looks like the joke.
92
Charles, I pitched my screenplay to mom.
93
Don't say pitch.
94
He says things that make Charlie cringe.
95
Charlie looks at him like he represents everything embarrassing about writing.
96
Here's the twist: we find out that the killer really suffers from multiple personality disorder.
97
Right?
98
See?
99
He's actually really the cop and the girl.
100
But this time, Donald started looking different to me.
101
Donald wants things too.
102
He wants to write.
103
He wants his script to work.
104
He wants people to like it. And...
105
he starts.
106
That's the whole thing.
107
"Hey, my script's going amazing." he makes the obvious version.
108
But he writes, he pitches.
109
"Don't say pitch." He tries, he keeps moving.
110
And in the movie, that starts to matter.
111
"What do you want?" I've finished my script.
112
I'm done.
113
Because Charlie is trying to make the right version before he has a version, Donald is willing to make a version.
114
The three?
115
It's just amazing.
116
I don't know what that is.
117
Donald, script!
118
Smart, edgy thriller.
119
It's the best script I've read all year.
120
Oh.
121
Thank you.
122
Good.
123
Yeah, I'm gonna sell it for a shitload.
124
Two fucking talented guys in one family.
125
That doesn't mean Donald is the better artist, but Donald has something Charlie doesn't have in that moment.
126
He can begin before the work becomes perfect in his head.
127
"Is the work good?" "It's a disaster.
128
I don't know what I'm doing." And that reminded me of this interview clip of the Daniels.
129
It's an interview about the process and struggles of making their earlier film, Swiss Army Man, which they made before Everything Everywhere All at Once.
130
"After Swiss Army Man we had this big debate about how
131
much suffering is it worth it to go through to make good art.
132
But I was like, I don't want to make more movies if it's that hard, if it's that unpleasant.
133
I don't want to do it.
134
This time we tried to enjoy the process more and be nicer and not torture ourselves or the crew.
135
And it paid off.
136
It made the movie better.
137
So many people when they talk about the process of filmmaking, they use military and war metaphors.
138
It's like, "Oh, we're in the trenches.
139
Oh, there's a hierarchy and you have to do whatever everyone else tells you to do.
140
Otherwise, the whole thing falls apart." If you think about it,
141
the movie that they treated with so much seriousness and control turned out kind of okay -ish.
142
But the movie that they treated like summer camp won the Oscar for the best picture? And maybe that's it.
143
Maybe the key to making great work is to stop treating it like this heavy, stressful, controlled thing.
144
and try to have a little more fun with it.
145
Speaking of fun, in between pizza review videos and binge watching movies about writers, I also recently watched Reprise on MUBI.
146
I'd wanted to see it for a while, ever since I saw Robert McKee call it one of the best films about writing.
147
It's Joelking Trier's debut film, about two friends in Oslo who both want to become writers.
148
Trier has since gone on to make major international hits like The Worst Person in the World and Sentimental Value.
149
Reprise is very different from adaptation, but it circles a similar feeling: the pressure, ambition, and confusion that come with wanting to make good art.
150
Reprise is currently available to stream on MUBI, my sponsor for this video.
151
MUBI is a global streaming service dedicated to elevating great cinema, where every film is handpicked by a curator rather than an algorithm.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
