Did Zack Braff cast Natalie Portman in Garden State himself?

ZB: No, Natalie Portman doesn't audition for movies anymore. I just think she's a magnificent actress and has something really unique. I don't think there's anybody quite like her.

And I feel like, as a kid, in "The Professional" and "Beautiful Girls," she showed something that was so extraordinary, and I haven't really had a chance to see her do that as a young woman, and I was dying to see her do that because I knew she could. So she was the first choice. http://dir.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
