The film was inspired by Tom Hanks' acceptance speech at the 1994 Academy Awards when he won for Philadelphia. In his speech Hanks thanked his gay drama teacher, which lead to this film in which a former student outs his gay teacher in his Oscar speech.
Tom Hanks' Oscar speeches are two of my all-time favorite acceptance speeches. They're just down right beautiful. Click here to watch his speech for Philadelphia
