Kapanlagi.com - Netflix has launched a new film in the romantic-comedy genre titled THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD. The film is directed by Robert Ronny and was released just in time for Valentine's Day, on February 14, 2025.

Robert Ronny cast Reza Rahadian as the main character named Reuben Wiraatmaja. Meanwhile, the love interest of Reuben in the film is played by Sheila Dara Aisha. This marks their fourth collaboration on the same project.

The theme presented in the film THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD is an interesting 'breakthrough'. This is because Robert Ronny, as the director, admits that he wants to critique the television industry and societal norms regarding love.

As someone who has worked in the television industry and knows its ins and outs, director Robert Ronny tries to express his concerns through the film THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD. According to him, people who work in the media must have a responsibility to present shows that are not only entertaining but also serve as a moral compass for the nation.

"In my opinion, yes, entertainment (is) necessary. (But) I don't think it's just that. There was a study at UI at that time (that found) violence in schools and all kinds of things increased drastically because of the trending teen soap operas that contain bullying. So, the correlation between what is aired on TV and what happens in the real world is very, very real." Robert Ronny stated in an exclusive interview.

2. The Metaphor Behind the Stranded Event on the Island

In addition to the television industry, another major theme raised in the film THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WORLD is the stranding of two main characters on an island. Upon investigation, it turns out that this theme is not present without a clear reason behind it.

Robert Ronny reveals that he indeed wanted to present the characters Reuben Wiraatmaja (Reza Rahadian) and Kiara Clarissa (Sheila Dara Aisha) without the constraints of social strata that often burden individuals in daily life. He also aims to have both characters see each other as whole human beings without the need to use the lens of societal norms.

"Social status, whether rich or not, who they are, whose child they are, what they have worked as, what their achievements are. In my opinion, that has nothing to do with loving someone." The director expressed.

Reuben Wiraatmaja (Reza Rahadian), the sole heir of his deceased father's media empire, must fulfill a will in order to inherit all that has been left behind. However, the will he must go through is quite unique and complicated: Reuben must find and marry the most beautiful woman in the world.

As a character known by the nickname "playboy", Reuben boldly creates a matchmaking program on television. Through this program, he meets an ambitious and hardworking female producer at his television station, Kiara Clarissa (Sheila Dara Aisha).

Reuben and Clarissa get caught in a relationship between two people with opposing personalities. Until eventually, an unexpected event forces them to become stranded on an island.
