Alec Guinness once said on the show
2
that I asked him what he had to do before he got into a character
3
and he said he had to get the walk right.
4
Right.
5
But you actually, you research them, don't you?
6
You go and live like them before you do the part.
7
Well, what he says is very true for me too because some actors work cerebrally, some work physically.
8
I like to work physically a lot of times it helps me feel like, I mean clothes, putting on certain clothes can give you a feeling of another character,
9
which it does to actual people who are characters.
10
It helps them identify with the role that they want to play in life, be a businessman or whatever they want to, you know.
11
And one thing can give it to you.
12
A walk can give it to you.
13
Just that one walk, you can play that one thing through a whole play or a movie and it can do it.
14
So I agree with that, you know.
15
The point I was going to make, of course, was that...
16
I do the other two.
17
Yeah, I mean, the way when you did Taxi Driver, for instance, I mean, you went and actually worked as a cabbie, didn't you?
18
Yeah.
19
Did anybody ever recognize you then?
20
Only once or twice.
21
Once I had an actor who wanted me to take him to the airport and he recognized me.
22
So the whole thing was blown because I couldn't, you know, all we could do was talk about acting.
23
And I didn't want him to pay me.
24
But he insisted on paying me.
25
I said, okay, pay me.
26
No tip, though.
27
And the other time I just, some people got out of the cab and I looked at his eyes.
28
You know, you have a plaque with your name on it.
29
I turned that around so nobody could see the name, which a lot of cabbies do anyway.
30
And I looked him in the eye and the guy recognized me right away and just said, you were in Godfather II, he recognized me from that. And that was it.
31
Otherwise, people don't even look at you, they don't know.
32
You know, it's like a waiter in a restaurant.
33
They don't, you know, you don't exist in a way.
34
That was kind of...
35
And in New York, New York as well, you actually learned how to play the instrument, the sax, didn't you?
36
Although, I mean, you needn't have done because you could have mimed it because the music wasn't yours, was it?
37
No, it wasn't mine.
38
It was done by George Yeo, except that I wanted to learn the fingering, which I did.
39
And I learned how to play everything in the movie.
40
It wasn't, the whole point was not to learn how to play the sax to be,
41
you know, I could never play it as well as he did or the way Jake fights and so on.
42
But the movies are an illusion and the whole point is to be able to recreate this without looking like a fool.
43
I didn't want to look like I didn't know what I was doing because when I look at a movie, I see, you know, somebody with the fingering, for example, they're all out of, you know, they're all on step, out of sync.
44
Playing a jazz musician.
45
And I want to throw it away.
46
The point is to learn to throw it away the way a person who actually does know it, they don't over-emphasize it.
47
It's like an actor who overacts because they don't really know the situation and don't have the confidence to just be, you know, be straight.
48
Robert, you're at the top of the tree now.
49
You've got a very strongly tip for a second Academy Award.
50
Yet I do know for a certain fact that you don't like the thing about the, the traditional trappings of being a film star, do you?
51
In some ways, yeah.
52
You don't like them?
53
Well, only that...
54
as far as the.. being recognized in certain situations, you like a certain amount of privacy.
55
And, no, but I enjoy it, don't get me wrong.
56
I mean, certain things are drag, but that's part of it.
57
I have no complaints whatsoever.
58
What about your next project?
59
What are you going to do?
60
That's called The King of Comedy, and I'm doing it with Jerry Lewis, and Marty Scorsese is going to direct it.
61
It's about a guy who kidnaps someone like yourself.
62
A chat show host.
63
Yeah, to get on the show and do his act, which turns out to be very good.
64
You've not been doing any research while we've been sitting here, have you?
65
No. No, you haven't?
66
No. All right.
67
But all success with that, all success too with Raging Bull.
68
As I say, I do hope it gets a wider audience because it is a magnificent movie.
69
It's not what you call family entertainment of its kind.
70
I think it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
71
Robert De Niro.
72
Thank you.

Цели разговорной практики на этом клипе

Этот видеоролик — отличная возможность для тех, кто учит английский по видео, улучшить навыки разговорного английского и освоить shadow speech. Основная цель — научиться воспринимать и воспроизводить естественную речь с её темпом, интонацией и паузами. Диалог Роберта Де Ниро и Майкла Паркинсона демонстрирует разговор в неформальной, но профессиональной обстановке, что помогает привыкать к живому английскому, а не к учебным фразам.

Банк фраз для повтора

  • "work cerebrally" — "работать умом" (о подходе к роли)
  • "get the walk right" — "правильно передвигаться" (о подготовке к персонажу)
  • "the whole thing was blown" — "всё пошло прахом" (о ситуации, когда планы сгорят)
  • "out of sync" — "не в такте" (о несоответствии действий)
  • "over-emphasize" — "переоценить" (о чрезмерном акценте)

Эти фразы удобно использовать в разговорах о творчестве, работе или повседневных ситуациях. Лучше всего их запоминать через shadowspeaks — повторение сразу после говорящего.

Исправляем слабые места в произношении

Ключевой момент, на который стоит обратить внимание — ритм разговора. Де Ниро часто использует паузы, чтобы подчеркнуть мысль, а Паркинсон спрашивает вопросы с мягкой интонацией, характерной для интервью. Для улучшения произношения английского попробуйте повторять реплики героев, копируя их темп и акценты. Обратите внимание на сокращения, например, "didn't want to" (["dɪdənt ˈwɒnt tuː"]) или "you're at the top" (["jʊər æt ðə tɒp"]) — они делают речь более естественной. Практикуйте shadow speech ежедневно, и вы заметите прогресс в понимании и воспроизведении живого английского.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
