Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a classic, and it's enjoyable. I saw it a while back so it's not completely in my memory bank. I do remember that Hoffman plays an actor who pretends to be a woman to land a part on a TV show. It's funny and has a lot of charm, but it comes from Tootsie, not Dustin without the dress. Every time he was himself I thought, get back into your dress, please! Still, it deserves the name of a classic and should be seen for a fun comedy movie.

I like this movie. The main character of this movie hits walls, but overcomes difficulties or obstacles in many ways I don't expect. It's really interesting. I'm excited when I am watching this movie. I especially like the last scene. There is the last scene I don't expect. In the last scene, the main character and a lady are talking. The conversation doesn't express directly, but we can understand the development in this movie. The conversation is interesting and beautiful. I like it.The setting in this movie seems strange, but it's interesting. In addition, I think this movie may express historical background such as gender discrimination and same sex marriage at that time. I admires the actor who performs the main character. He pretends to be woman and I can watch his performances without feeling uncomfortable.The point also makes this film better and attractive.

This movie is very good. The main character, Dorsey, has a very strong heart. He is a man, but he disguises himself as an actress. However, he, as a woman, had an impact on his friend, Julie, who is a well-known actress. He always looks dull but once he changes into a woman, he looks very strong. The story that he is loved by some old men is very interesting. They may be attracted to his (her) character. Also, he has conflicts in his life as an actor or his lover. In fact he may want to be a great actor, but the director wants him to act as a woman. What is his dream? Is it to be a famous as an actress? He may want to be a famous actor. Some parts of his dream do not come true, but others come true. However, he does not want to be a famous actress. I can understand his conflict because I was discouraged when I was a high school student. In this sense, the movie was very familiar to me.

This movie is about a man who is an actor, but he cannot get a role because of his stubborn stance regarding acting. He needs a lot of money to play in a theater with his play companions, so he pretends a woman, and he appears in a TV drama. This movie focuses on the complicated mixtures of a lot of characters' feelings. I was impressed with the feelings of a woman who is at the mercy of the man's act. I can understand that she adores him first, but she would like to build a better relationship with him after that her voice, expression, and action. I was also interested in the change of the way of expressing her feelings. First, she is weak at describing him anger, but she can get angry fiercely through his bad treatment. Moreover, it was memorable that the worry of a woman who is a single mother and has a boyfriend who has a tendency to cheat. I can know her feelings that she would like to trust him, but she cannot do that completely through communication with him. After she says goodbye to her boyfriend, her expression conveys her sadness and distress whether her decision is right or not deeply to me. I like this movie since I can feel the transition of the feelings of many characters. I can also understand to live honestly from his situation that tells a lot of lies to many people, so he loses a job.
