Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): Tootsie . "Tootsie" holds a place on both The American Film Institute's Top 100 Movies (#62) and The American Film Institute's Top 100 Comedies (#2).  Oddly enough, on the latter list it's directly below "Some Like it Hot" and both films have simalar subjects. Ironically, both subjects are some of the most stereotypical ones. Comedies come out every year involving men dressing as women for some purpose; Only some films pull it off with dignity and real heartfelt humor, though, which is why I think Tootsie is so popular. Michael Dorsey (Dustin Hoffman, in a wonderful performance) is a down on his luck actor. He's been living in New York City trying to make it for twenty years and nothing's happening. One day his agent (played by the films director Sydney Pollack) explains to Michael that no one wants to work with him. Taking matters into his own hands, Michael dresses as a woman and adapts a higher voice and becomes Dorothy Michaels; Michael, under his new guise, auditions for a soap opera and wins the role...And acclaim.  At the same time, he falls in love with Julie (Jessica Lange, who won an Oscar for the role) who is dating the director (Dabney Coleman). Meanwhile, Michael manages to neglect a potential girlfriend (Teri Garr) and freak out his roommate Jeff (Bill Murray, who's hilarious as always). In retrospect, you've seen this film thousands of times...While I wasn't alive the year the film came out, I can't say this is the originator of this storyline, but it is one of the best films to evolve from that storyline. Dustin Hoffman, who is almost always good, is great in the dual role (although his five o'clock shadow can be seen under the makeup in several scenes). Lange is beautiful and wonderful in the role. This is a great movie, if you haven't seen it...Well...See it.    GRADE:
Output (English): POS
