    Out-of-work male actors play women by accident, but the post-transgender version of "Orthodox" has been a big hit, telling a "how we're a woman today" story for all soap opera audiences, especially women. The repeated ridicule of soap operas and feminism is actually more worth watching...

    It's much better than the book of "Enthusiasm", and I always understand myself better when I play other people. Hoffman is really a god-like acting, Jessica Lange is really beautiful when he was young. I have a good grasp of all aspects, and the director’s own cameo role is also very...

    The actor's autonomy is discussed at the beginning: "you may be high on 'but', you may be high on 'and'". This is, of course, a "speak for women" movie, reflecting the gender politics and the daily life of actresses (female protagonists) entering the 1980s showbiz.

    In terms of the feminist movement, the film has a distinctive era color, and it is equally profound in terms of gender relations, daytime soap operas, dramas and performances.

    An exploration of the actor's living conditions, as well as an exploration of more complex gender relations. Still a good story, Dustin Hoffman still has the most chemistry with director Pollack...

    Although most of the feminist lines in the film are uttered by "men", the degree of initiation is no less than that of "The End of the Wild Flower". After all, Dorothy lived in the...

    The main characters are actors, acting directors, screenwriters, agents, directors, and producers. This is an insider's story shot by an insider. Pollack and Hoffman teamed up to make this light comedy of men disguising as women, which was so...

  • Jeff: Mike, I really appreciate you're doing this, but... it is just for the money, isn't it? It's not just so you can wear these little outfits?
