The film tells the story of the unemployed actor Mike who had to rely on a man to disguise himself as a woman in order to make a living, but fell in love with actress Julie, but also caused trouble because of it. Played to the extreme, the male protagonist who changed into women's clothes not only won the success of his career, but also won many suitors.
Mike, played by Dustin Hoffman, is a Broadway actor. Due to his honest character, he has nowhere to act and has to be an acting teacher. Mike's motive for disguising himself as a woman was to raise money to help a friend. Unexpectedly, after appearing in the image of Ms. Dorothy, he cherished the identity of "Dorothy" very much. In her career, Dorothy's soap operas became popular, and she dared to be her own "she" and became a national female role model, appearing on the covers of countless magazines. In terms of love, Mike, who lived in Dorothy's body, gradually fell in love with Julie, an actress from the same group, while Julie's father and father fell in love with Dorothy. It can be said that the film has developed a very strong dramatic conflict based on the male disguise as a female.
What is commendable is that the film gives enough foreshadowing and details to make such a strong dramatic transformation very natural and believable. "Career and Love Double Harvest" relies on the imagination of screenwriters and directors, and a large number of effective plots rooted in life are more powerful than imagination. The skills of screenwriters and directors support their imagination.
This film focuses on people's introspection. Under the form of cross-dressing restraint, they release psychological depression on the road of pursuing work, love and life, and seek the essence of self from the heart. The helplessness of the characters is mostly to reduce the crux of "sex, destructive power, desire". The background of the times is changing, but we are still faced with the problem of homogeneous themes. When life is difficult, this film must be a good solution for confusion.
