Thandiwe Newton's African first name means, interestingly enough, "beloved."
To prepare for her role as a slave, Oprah Winfrey went through a twenty-four hour simulation of the experience of slavery, which included being tied up, blindfolded, and left alone in the woods.
Oprah Winfrey purchased the film rights to the novel in 1987. She claims that while reading the book, she could only picture herself as Sethe and Danny Glover as Paul D. It took her ten years to get the film made, which she finally had to produce herself.
A subplot in the novel, but omitted from the film, suggests that Beloved might actually be a missing woman from a nearby town, who was tortured and imprisoned by a white man. The subplot underscored Sethe's need for Beloved to be her reincarnated daughter.
Lauryn Hill was cast as Beloved, but dropped out before filming began, when she became pregnant.
"Baby Suggs: And the beat, beat, of your heart... Love it. More than the lungs that need yet to breathe free air. More than the womb, which holds life. More than the private parts that give life. Love your heart. This... this is the prize. Amen. This the prize... Amen!"
"Denver: Why you call yourself Beloved? Beloved: In the dark, my name Beloved. Denver: What's it like where you was before? Can you tell me? Beloved: Dark. I was small in that place. [curls up] Beloved: Like this here. Denver: Were you cold? Beloved: Hot! Nothing to breathe down there. No room to move. Denver: You see anybody? Beloved: It's a lot of people down there. Some is dead. Denver: You see Jesus? Baby Suggs? Beloved: I don't know... I don't know the names. Denver: Well, what you come back here for? Beloved: To see her face. Beloved: Mama's? Sethe's? Beloved: [grabbing Denver's hand] Sethe's."
