The final word spelled by Dylan is logorrhea. This is the winning word from the documentary Spellbound (2002) which tracks several participants in the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee in 1999.
Jacques Bailly is the National Spelling Bee Pronouncer in the movie and is the Pronouncer for the Bee in real life. He also won the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1980.
Filmed in 31 days with a budget of $6 million.
"Akeelah: [quoting Marianne Williamson] Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. Dr. Larabee: Does that mean anything to you? Akeelah: I don't know. Dr. Larabee: It's written in plain English. What does it mean? Akeelah: That I'm not supposed to be afraid? Dr. Larabee: Afraid of what? Akeelah: Afraid of... me?"
"Akeelah: I'm naturally inquisitive. Dr. Larabee: Yes, which is also sometimes confused with being naturally obnoxious."
