    In the closing scene of the movie, Dustin Hoffman says to Jessica Lange: "I was a better man with you as a woman, than I ever was with a woman as a man."

      Ian Williams Why is showing emotion a sign of losing control?

    • @ianwilliams6042
      @ianwilliams6042 Před 9 lety

      CoCoMoroney There is nothing wrong with showing emotion, but you should be able to control your emotions or else your emotions are controlling you. Crying, like uncontrollable laughing, means you are no longer in control.

    • @noreexic
      @noreexic Před 9 lety +50

      Ian Williams If he burst out sobbing frequently during interviews I'd think he cannot control his emotions, but tearing up the odd time when discussing something that means a great deal to you is perfectly normal.

    Tootsie is one of my favorite comedies. It's probably the only 'guy in drag' movie that is completely empathetic of the struggles women go through. Jessica Lange was never more luminescent. He gets to see who she really is,with all her insecurities and innate kindness, not just a pretty girl to acquire. Highly recommended. It is both hilarious and thought-provoking without being preachy or trite. Some of the lines are to this day eminently quotable.

    My epiphany about this was when I met a girl like that. I wouldn't say she was the furthest thing from an hourglass shape and her face wasn't the most beautiful I'd ever seen or compared to other girls I know but oh wow, was she a beautiful person. Unconditionally sweet, kind, smart, interesting and so sincere..she made me feel so relaxed an vulnerable. It was easy to be around her and that's so hard for me to find. It's even because of who she was I found the idea of touching her as if she were the hottest women physically pretty much the same...isn't that amazing?
    And I completely BLEW it when I said the wrong thing to her one day and lost her...
    I think about her a lot. Even though with your eyes you may not think much...but oh god. To me - she was one of the most beautiful people I've ever met. I miss her so much.

    Aw, that's lovely that he got emotional about it. He probably feels badly about overlooking the women that he did or not even giving them a chance but he was probably young and just wasn't educated or wise enough back then.
    I myself have done that about men. I mean this was many years ago when I was young and immature and a little shallow. But if I didn't find the man attractive to look at then I wouldn't give them much of a chance. Ugh. And honestly I'm only average looking myself, I'm nothing special. 😂
    But now I'm older and wiser I would totally be different about it if I was single. (I'm married now) but back in the day I turned down people based on their appearance, and they may have been really nice but I don't know.
    I apologize for being like that and Sorry to those men.

    I've never seen the movie but I think standards of beauty differ person to person and the really ugly people are the ones who can't even appreciate someone attractive because they don't feel they measure up to the standard represented themselve. Men are expected to make an effort as well to be attractive in society. Neither gender should be manipulated to try and be something other than tbe best version of themselves imo.

I would try to befriend her and well, who knows what else if she’s interested, just have to say, we need more women like Dorothy Michaels out there.
