A Beautiful Life is a Netflix Danish drama, with a very musical premise, that was written by Stefan Jaworski and directed by Mehdi Avaz.
The film tells the story of a fisherman who happens to have an extraordinary singing voice, that is discovered by a high-flying music producer, Suzanne, at a party.
Fisherman Elliot is then offered a chance to be famous, and in the process has to work with Suzanne’s daughter. However, there is more going on behind the scenes than Elliot first knows. Suzanne knows her daughter needs to find a success, and believes Elliot is the act that she has been looking for.
As the lives of those involved become entwined, obstacles start to appear that threaten all the work that has been done, both musically and emotionally.
The film looks like a cross between Fisherman’s Friends and A Star is Born, but fans of music and drama will find a lot to like here.
However, you can find a review for this Netflix movie right here on Ready Steady Cut, but if you have landed on this page, I imagine it is because you want to know more about the character of Elliot, so without further ado, here are some answers to the question who is Elliot in A Beautiful Life on Netflix?
Who is Elliot in A Beautiful Life on Netflix?
Elliot is the main character in A Beautiful Life. He is a young fisherman that spends most of his day doing fisherman-style things such as sorting lobsters out.
His real passion is of course music, and he has an incredible voice.
A chance encounter finds Elliot in the eye of a powerful music producer when he has to perform at a small gig, and this leads us into the story of his journey toward fame and fortune and the price that can sometimes cost.
Elliot is a bit of a cliché, hard-working average Joe that has incredible undiscovered talent, but the reason this is a cliché is that people enjoy this kind of story and will watch it in different ways over and over again.
We see Elliot works hard and is waiting for a chance, and we know he has talent, so the journey here is watching how events will at first elevate him, then throw adversity at him, before a conclusion is reached.
This is why the casting of a lead in this role can either make or break your movie.
