''Tootsie is a comedy directed in 1982 by an award-winning producer, director, actor and writer Sydney Pollack. This film is also known as ''Would I lie to you''. The main character Michael Dorsey is an unemployed actor with a hopeless reputation. He disguises himself as a woman in order to get a role on a trashy hospital soap.
My first impression were the acting skills of the cast. Especially of Jessica Lange who impersonated in Julie. No wonder why she won an Oscar for the best supporting actress. Furthermore, Dustin Hoffman as Dorothy Michaels performed so well that he or maybe she almost left me speechless. What I also liked was the symbolical scenery of New York, which went really well with the script. As we know that city unites variety of people from many countries and that is similar to our main character who in some way was cumulating two different people in one body. This particular motif of a person who lost himself, doesn't really know who actually is or want to be is very significant nowadays. What's more, I believe it's a timeless problem that touches everyone in different periods of time.
These are just main aspects, that made me enjoy this film. It involves many parts of our life, on which we should probably focus more. I definitely recommend watching it, because it's funny, well made and leaves us with a need of reflections about how we behave or treat others and mainly ourselves.
