The film tells the story of unemployed actor, Michael Dorsey who can never get the job because of his explosive and difficult temper. Finally he makes a desperate decison to change his indendity to Dorothy Michales and get a part in a new soap opera. Throughout the film the viewer might observe the development of the main character and also consequences of that radical decision.
The aspect of the film that impressed me the most was the acting. The movie is so good mostly because of the great job that Dustin Hoffman did. I can't imagine how difficult that role could have been.
What makes that film even more convincing is the characterisation. It's obviously one of the most important factor when it comes to men playing women and vice versa. Apparently the make-up artist must have been really good.
I can honestly recommend watching "Tootsie", bacause not only it is a very funny and amusing story but it also concerns really important topics, such as the position of a woman in the world (not only in that times) or how lies might complicate people's lives. I think, that film is worth seeing for everyone who likes good but not stupid comedies.
You wrote it so as not to reveal anything from the plot, which makes your review a bit vague and sketchy. If someone hasn't seen the film, they don't quite know what it is about.
OdpowiedzUsuńI like the fact that you commented on make-up as this is a really distinctive feature of this film.
