Tootsie Review

This film is basically about how:

1. an actor is able to turn himself into a woman and later, want his masculine life back.
2. his dream girl fell in love with him when she thought he is a woman.

Commenting:
1. It is really mind over body. We have people from all over the globe who make physical changes to their body to change their sex permanently and we have this actor who change their sex temporary for the sake of his job. It can be seen here that it is possible for the mind to decide and effect what gender he or she wants to be.

2. Talking about true love, loving someone who does not belong to one's sexual orientation is really pure love. But this concept is so widely exploited in the entertainment industry so much so that I really don't know is this real or not.

Talking about gay marriages, is there any case whereby 2 straight men or 2 straight women as least live together happily ever after? Not that I know of. From what I can see, for love to turn into marriage, both's sexual orientation still have to match.

Thank you for listening. Comments are greatly appreciated!!!

  1. Well, I think the relationship Dorothy and Julie developed was an intimate friendship and a kind of mutual love. That was shattered when Dorothy/Michael instinctively kissed Julie. Also, at the end of the film, Michael told Julie that Dorothy was "inside" him and that they had already "done the hard part" and became friends. He is implying that intimate friendship is a part of a romantic relationship in a heterosexual couple.
