I am Inspired
'To be or not to be' does not seem to be a question for some people at any point in their life! We meet all kinds of people and what motivates one may not move another.
I am inspired to observe different view points and am amazed as to how we all seem to make peace with the process of life at one point or another.
Trivia : Since the movie was shot in a real High School (Papillion La Vista High School, Omaha, Nebraska), adjacent classrooms had real class going on while some scenes for the movie were being done.
In the soundtrack, some background noises come from real teachers and students. The director decided to leave that in as to give the movie a more realistic sound.
