This movie is in my opinion hypocritical and pathetic as it wants to tell the audience how to lead a good life, but the filmmaker forgets to explain why we should accept the role models (in fact who are these role models?) and concepts shown. of course nature is beautiful and a simple life can make you happy. but this aspect together with a smiling Dalai Lama isn´t enough. it´s pitiful full of clichés (indian women, sustainable farming, the power of music). i love documentary films and recently there were lots of excellent movies out. but watching BUT BEAUTIFUL was 2 painful boring hours and left me angry.
