A Few days ago,during my English class, I watched a well-known American comedy called “Tootsie”. The movie was directed by Sydney Pollack in the 80s, starring Dustin Hoffman as the leading character and Jessica Lange as his partner.
Michael Dorsey is an unemployed actor who can’t find a job because of his difficult character. When there is no other way to get a it, he decides to dress up as a woman to land a role in famous soap- opera. In the beginning everything seems to be easy but in time things get complicated and living in lie gets out of control.
The plot of this move is excellent- it’s really hard to watch without laughing but what’s more important, it raises a serious problem in a humorous way- how women are objectified and belittled in their everyday roles. After viewing it becomes obvious and plain to see.
The cast of the film is also brilliant- especially the amazing Dustin Hoffman! The characters he played were really hard to convey. He had to play a man and a woman , combine those two totally different characters in one! Jessica Lange deserves appreciation too. She played her character so well, that her Oscar for the supporting role comes as no surprise.
I recommend “Tootsie” for everybody who want to watch no-banal movie with a lot of wit. Great choice for those seeking fun as well as those who want A moment of reflection at the cinema.
