    This is the only non-winning film I've seen in recent months, but it gave me a lot of fun! It seems that the good and bad of a movie cannot be measured by awards at all. It's stupid to be superstitious about XX awards!

    [Film Review] Victor Victoria (1982) 7.5/10

    Hollywood mainstream cinema's dichotomic gender conventions are rambunctiously breached in 1982, Sydney Pollack's TOOTSIE has a bruised male ego get a fresh start by purporting to be the opposite sex, and Blake Edwards' VICTOR VICTORIA is the obverse, a woman in drag, pretending to be a man who...

    The music is really good! Reminds me of the soundtrack I watched yesterday that I will love! Sad reminder!

    Don't put rainwater in the movie, pour it in with real water, but the story starts with falling snow, finely white, cars passing by, and pedestrians passing by. A restaurant full of smells, rising notes, shattering glass, wisdom of words, vivid inlays, human beings, making love happen; directing success, swaying music, flying dance, guiding joy, and prescribing the direction of a rose. Don't put gender, let it shine and be unpredictable. Uneasy in life, tightly bound to the chest, this moment is liberated by a funny performance, people are all tolerated, forgive each other, look forward to each other, and the little whirlpools that happen and sometimes get out of control in life.

Victor Victoria quotes

  • Victoria: Could I see the wine list?

    Waiter: We have a white 1934, we have a red 1934. Last week we had some Rosee, but we're using it in the salad.

  • Toddy: You know, it's very strange. At the club, I thought you were just about at the end of your rope.

    Victoria: Oh, I was. I am! This is the first decent meal I've had in almost four days.

    Toddy: And you can't pay for it?

    Victoria: [makes breaking motion with hands] Caseé!

    Toddy: [chuckling] And you want me to have dinner with you?

    Victoria: I want you to have the best damn dinner you ever had. Have two! I started off with the roast chicken and I segued to boeuf bourguignon. It's anybody's guess what I could end up with.

    Toddy: Oh, I'd guess about thirty days.

    Victoria: If all goes well, I expect to leave here poor, but sated. I have a... a bug in my purse. At the appropriate moment, it goes in my salad.

    Toddy: It'll never work.

    Victoria: A bug in my salad?

    Toddy: In a place like this, it would be an event if there WASN'T a bug in your salad.

    Victoria: What about a... cockroach?

    Toddy: [shocked] A cockroach!

    Victoria: Shhh! Bigger than your thumb!

    Toddy: Ew, God!
