That’s a lovely story and taking inspiration is defo the way to go - hopefully the actor had the same thought process, also landing on inspiration.

As for the cliché - there is no better or truer one - live in the now. Especially when the now is away, somewhere new, where the mind slows and new connections are made, (neurological and personal).

Loved the pun.

Best of luck with the movie. Hope it goes green soon.
