Its a tragedy that happen here... A polytechnique is like a specialized school that you go to for a specific job like an engineer. I think the Quebec actors are actually speaking english in that version cause they all have the accent.
It's obviously hard to watch movies like this, but I'm sure that creators of films like this really want people to understand the characters feelings/emotions. I think relating to feelings is a big part of improving how we live our lives. I've never seen this movie before or even known about the shooting, but this film seemed so real. Great camera angles in this film too.
