I'd posted about that scene here about a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35313963 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35313963 And referred to an article on denofgeek.com that talks about the same scene: "He [Gosling] came up with this process that actors use to learn Shakespeare, where you say a word, then they repeat the word, and then someone would ask a question about that word.
