Curiozități

Beautiful is a 2000 American comedy drama film directed by Sally Field, starring Minnie Driver and Hallie Eisenberg. The plot deals with the sacrifices that contestants in the Miss America pageant typically must make. The film had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and was released theatrically on September 29, 2000. It received negative reviews and was a commercial disappointment.

Production

Field, who had previously directed the TV movie The Christmas Tree and an episode of the miniseries From the Earth to the Moon, received the script for Beautiful from Minnie Driver’s production company, Two Drivers Productions. Field was drawn to the project because of its message, saying, "To me the movie speaks about letting go of the darkness of your childhood.

Of the female protagonist not being a likable character, Field said, "Too many women characters in movies today are saintly. They aren’t allowed to have colors like ambition, drive, passion and desire. I like seeing a character who is flawed, and who makes mistakes. Mona isn’t nice. She walks a fine line between being liked and hated. She doesn’t ask the audience to like her very often. In fact, she never asks for that.
