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.

First of all, I regard Dustin Hoffman who plays Michael Dorsey as a good actor because he performs as if he were a woman. I feel discomfort in his performance. Although this film had serious scenes, it made me smile once in a while so that I was not bored with it. This title also has humor. Watching the peculiar man who dressed up as a woman, I felt that it was fresh because I have never been disguised as a woman. In addition, there is another thing I learned. To have desperate efforts to do what we want is important and wonderful. For example, Michael Dorsey was fired from his job, but he decided to apply for the role of a woman in one drama none the less. This is just his passion to act the part even if he must become a woman. As a whole, I like this movie.

This film is a comedy about an odd actor who appears as a main character. However, another theme of this film is the development of the actor as a person. He can't become famous as an actor, because he makes too much fuss about acting. So he is held in deep antipathy by some companies. However, he becomes famous as an actress by chance. Then, he meets a popular actress - Julie, and they make friends. In this film Michel notices true love by performing as a woman. At the beginning he has everything his way, but he changes in mental state when he meets Julie. Also, Michel lets Julie be true to herself. So I think this film seems like a comedy apparently, but there is a deeper theme than we expected.

A middle-aged struggling actor, Michael Dorsey, has no work because of his obstinacy. One day, he makes the decision to disguise himself as a woman to apply for a drama as a head nurse. After he gets the role, the viewer rate goes up and he becomes famous in accordance with his wish. However, while giving a helping hand to Julie, a single-mother actress in the drama with him, he comes to love her… This film keeps me watching the whole time due to whether Dorsey's disguise is revealed to others or not. A technique for being a woman such as feminine sign, a way of talking and makeup must be difficult for a man. Yet, Dorsey, Dustin Hoffman, completely performs the woman's part well without any doubt by others characters in the film, and even he attracts a couple of men. In addition, when watching this with an audience, everyone laughs plenty of times. If you want to spend time filled with laughter, this comedy film is perfect for you.
