It is one of Sydney Pollack's masterpieces. The film is also a masterpiece, and of course, it was listed by the Library of Congress as a cultural object for permanent preservation in 1998 (a "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" film).
It was like that back then, but even by today's standards, a lot of big stars appeared. I've played Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange, Bill Murray, Teri Garr, Dabney Coleman, Charles Durning, Geena Davis, and even director Sydney Pollack.
The film tells the story of an unknown actor named Michael Dorsey and the people around him (many of whom are unknowns in the film), who have (or are) a natural talent for acting, but with sloppy, absurd work or script. They express their opinions too strongly about others. Because of this character, New York's theater and film directors and producers, and even advertising agencies, have shunned them. So, he was in a panic because he couldn't find a job, and even his agent said to him, "No one will hire you." Michael's self-esteem is hurt by this and he comes up with a trick. Dressed as a woman and named Dorothy Michael , she auditioned for a famous TV drama in New York. He almost fell off, but his acting skills allowed him to take on a minor role. Although the demanding PD often put the brakes on him, his acting skills soon began to be recognized. You will soon become a national star, becoming a role model for all women.
Michael, who lives half a woman's life and half a man's life, finally gets a job, but as his new life goes sloppy and sloppy, one added problem - he falls in love with an actress named Julie who is in the same drama . But to her, Michael is just Dorothy! The process of Michael's love story unfolding is very interesting and sad. In the end, his identity is revealed. In the case of a movie in which a man disguises himself as a woman, his identity is revealed at the end. And every scene is so good that you don't want to miss it.
As for the famous lines, we put the lines of Michael and Julie at the end of the movie. The video is posted below the lines:
Julie:
I miss Dorothy
Michael:
You don't have to. 'cause I'm here
I miss Dorothy too. don't know me
I was a better man when I was a girl with you
Than when I was with a woman as a man. You know what I mean?
Julie: ...
Michael:
Now I have to make it possible even if I don't dress up as a woman.
I want to stand in front of you as a man
The hurdle has passed.
We were already... good friends, right?
Julie:
Can you lend me that yellow dress?
Michael:
What is it?
Julie:
Holston's
Michael:
Holston? No. it would be dirty
Julie:
Michael!
Michael:
Are you going to spill wine?
Julie:
No!
Michael:
I borrow it, but I have to return it.
Julie:
If you give it back, where are you going to use it?
Another reason this movie was so popular is its soundtrack. "It Might be You" is a song by Stephen Bishop that was quite popular at weddings from the 80's to the early 2000's. Of course, it is a masterpiece that received a nomination at The Academy. It is played in the middle of the movie and at the end, and even looking at it now, the lyrics and voice are so earnest, vague, and sweet that goosebumps come up.
Time, I've been passing time
watching trains go by All of my life Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly Wishing there would be someone
waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you It's telling me it might be you All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past All of my life Wondering how they met
and what makes it last If I found the place Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you Yeah, it's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take So many dreams to wake And with so much love to make
I think we're gonna meet some time Maybe all we need is time And it's telling me it might be you All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies And there's so much more No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you Yeah, it's telling me it must be you And I'm feeling it'll just be you all of my life
It's you, maybe it's you I've been waiting for all of my life (Maybe it's you) It's you
(Maybe it's you) It's you I've been waiting for all of my life
- End
