Tootsie 1982 Sydney Pollack Michael Dorsey is a young New York actor that's very talented but has managed to turn every producer in the country against him because he likes to do things his way or no way. His agent can't seem to find him anything after a tomato commercial that Michael lost because he didn't feel the tomato wasn't "properly motivated". A popular soap opera has an opening for a woman part Michael auditions as "Miss Dorothy" and gets the part becoming widely known. He falls for a co-actor, Julie, on the show and they become very close, Julie's father also becomes close to Dorothy and proposes. Michael decides to end Dorothy live on the show when he reveals that Dorothy is really Michael.

In the end he talks to Julie's father and she forgives him. The first motif is towards the very beginning of the film one of Michael's female friends is going to an audition for the TV soap series. He is helping her rehearse her lines and he shows her what they are wanting and she responds "you would be better for the part than I would". The second motif I feel is the very first time he sees Julie he immediately seems to fall in love at first sight. The main film style in Tootsie is seeing TV on TV.

Since much of the film setting is the recording of the soap opera it is shot sometimes where the audience is seeing what is going on through a screen on TV or its shot as though you are watching the soap opera as the soap opera and not as part of the movie. Compared to later films with men dressing as women for some purpose or another Tootsie set the trend. Like Mrs. Doubt fire a man dresses as a woman for a reason. This creates humor as well as sympathy in some ways that the man must go that far to achieve what he is after. I found the Tootsie to be a very entertaining film. Besides the fact that it was funny to see what he had to go through to appear as a woman but as the woman she was very outspoken.

On the show he took everyone by surprise because it was a soft-spoken older woman speaking her mind that stood up to everyone. I think this film was great because first of all it was genuinely funny. Second, the film takes a man that discovers that being a woman has made him a better man. Finally this film is considered great because it was the first to take a concept such as the one it was and be successful with it.
