In this music video that celebrates self-acceptance, different people are shown isolated, suffering as they don't fit society's standards and are rejected by the mainstream. Official video for "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera.
The accompanying music video for "Beautiful" was directed by Jonas Åkerlund and premiered on December 9, 2002. It opens with Aguilera speaking the line "Don't look at me", followed by scenes of her singing alone in a room inter-cut with self-image-related sequences of other people. An anorexic girl examines herself in a mirror, eventually punching through it; a thin teenage boy stands lifting weights in a room plastered with images of bodybuilders; and an African-American girl rips out pages of women's magazines including photos of only white women and throws them into a fire.—Peter-Patrick76 (peter-patrick@mail.com)
