Tootsie is a 1982 American romantic comedy film directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Dustin Hoffman.
Scannán grinn rómánsúil Meiriceánach 1982 é Tootsie faoi stiúir Sydney Pollack agus Dustin Hoffman ar an stáitse.
Michael Dorsey is a respected actor, but nobody in New York wants to hire him because he is a perfectionist and difficult to work with.
Is aisteoir mór le rá é Michael Dorsey, ach níl aon duine i Nua Eabhrac ag iarraidh é a fhostú toisc gur foirfeachtóir é agus go bhfuil sé deacair oibriú leis.
After many months without a job, Michael hears of an opening on the popular daytime soap opera Southwest General from his friend and acting student Sandy Lester, who tries out for the role of hospital administrator Emily Kimberly.
Tar éis míonna fada gan post, éisteann Michael le hoscailt ar an gceoldráma gallúnach tóir i rith an lae Southwest General óna chara agus an mac léinn gníomhach Sandy Lester, a bhaineann triail as ról riarthóir an ospidéil Emily Kimberly.
In desperation, he impersonates a woman, auditioning as “Dorothy Michaels”, and gets the part.
In éadóchas, déanann sé aithris ar bhean, ag éisteacht mar “Dorothy Michaels”, agus faigheann sé an pháirt.
Michael takes the job as a way to raise $8,000 to produce a play by his roommate Jeff Slater, which will star himself and Sandy.
Glacann Michael an post mar bhealach chun $ 8,000 a chruinniú chun dráma a léiriú ag a chomrádaí seomra Jeff Slater, a mbeidh réalta air féin agus ar Sandy.
Michael plays Emily as a feisty feminist, which surprises the other actors and the crew, who expected her to be (as written) another swooning female.
Imríonn Michael Emily mar fheimineach feimineach, rud a chuireann iontas ar na haisteoirí eile agus ar an gcriú, a bhí ag súil go mbeadh sí (mar a scríobhadh) ina bean eile atá ag cúlú.
His character quickly becomes a national sensation.
Éiríonn a charachtar le mothú náisiúnta go gasta.
When Sandy catches Michael in her bedroom half undressed because he wants to try on her clothes for ideas for Dorothys wardrobe, he covers up by claiming he wants to have sex with her.
Nuair a ghlacann Sandy Michael ina sheomra leapa leathchosanta toisc go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh triail a bhaint as a chuid éadaí le haghaidh smaointe do wardrobe Dorothy, clúdaíonn sé trí éileamh a dhéanamh go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh gnéas a bheith aici léi.
Exacerbating matters further, he is attracted to one of his co-stars, Julie Nichols, a single mother in an unhealthy relationship with the shows amoral, sexist director, Ron Carlisle.
Ag dul in olcas cúrsaí níos mó, mealltar é chuig duine dá chomh-réaltaí, Julie Nichols, máthair shingil i gcaidreamh míshláintiúil le stiúrthóir amaitéarach, sexist an seó, Ron Carlisle.
At a party, when Michael (as himself) approaches Julie with a pick-up line to which she had previously told Dorothy she would be receptive, she throws a drink in his face.
Ag cóisir, nuair a théann Michael (mar é féin) chuig Julie le líne bailithe a dúirt sí léi le Dorothy roimhe seo go mbeadh sí fáilteach, caitheann sí deoch ina aghaidh.
Later, as Dorothy, when he makes tentative advances, Julie—having just ended her relationship with Ron per Dorothys advice—makes it known that she is not a lesbian.
Níos déanaí, mar Dorothy, nuair a dhéanann sé dul chun cinn trialach, cuireann Julie – tar éis deireadh a chur lena caidreamh le comhairle Ron de réir Dorothy – ar an eolas nach leispiach í.
Meanwhile, Dorothy has her own admirers to contend with: older cast member John Van Horn and Julies widowed father, Les.
Idir an dá linn, tá meas mór ag Dorothy uirthi féin chun dul i gcomórtas leis: an ball teilgthe níos sine John Van Horn agus athair baintreach Julie, Les.
Les proposes marriage, insisting that Dorothy think about it before answering.
Molann Les pósadh, ag áitiú ar Dorothy smaoineamh air sula bhfreagraíonn sí.
When Michael returns home, he finds John, who almost forces himself on Dorothy until Jeff walks in on them.
Nuair a fhilleann Michael abhaile, aimsíonn sé John, a chuireann iallach air féin ar Dorothy go dtí go dtéann Jeff isteach orthu.
A few minutes later, Sandy arrives, asking why he hasnt answered her calls.
Cúpla nóiméad ina dhiaidh sin, tagann Sandy, ag fiafraí cén fáth nár fhreagair sé a glaonna.
Michael admits hes in love with another woman, and Sandy screams and breaks up with him.
Admhaíonn Michael go bhfuil sé i ngrá le bean eile, agus déanann Sandy screadaíl agus briseadh suas leis.
The tipping point comes when, due to Dorothys popularity, the shows producers want to extend her contract for another year.
Tagann an pointe tipeála nuair, mar gheall ar an tóir a bhí ag Dorothy, tá táirgeoirí an seó ag iarraidh a conradh a leathnú go ceann bliana eile.
Michael extricates himself when a technical problem forces the cast to perform live by improvising a revelation about Emily: that she is actually Edward, Emilys twin brother who took her place to avenge her.
Éiríonn Michael as a riocht nuair a chuireann fadhb theicniúil iallach ar an bhfoireann taibhiú beo trí nochtadh faoi Emily a fheabhsú: gurb í Edward, deartháir cúpla Emily, a ghlac a háit chun í a dhíoghail.
This allows everybody a way out, but Julie is so outraged at Michaels deception that she punches him in the groin once the cameras have stopped rolling and storms off.
Ligeann sé seo do gach duine bealach amach, ach tá an oiread sin náire ar mheabhlaireacht Mhichíl go ndéanann sí é a phuncháil sa ghort nuair a stopann na ceamaraí ag rolladh agus stoirmeacha as.
Some weeks later, Michael is moving forward with producing Jeffs play.
Roinnt seachtainí ina dhiaidh sin, tá Michael ag dul ar aghaidh le dráma Jeff a léiriú.
He returns Less engagement ring, and Les says, “The only reason youre still living is because I never kissed you.”
Filleann sé fáinne rannpháirtíochta Les, agus deir Les, “Is é an t-aon chúis atá tú i do chónaí ná nár phóg mé riamh thú.”
Despite his anger, Les admits that Michael was good company as Dorothy, and Michael buys him a beer.
In ainneoin na feirge atá air, admhaíonn Les go raibh Michael ina chuideachta mhaith mar Dorothy, agus ceannaíonn Michael beoir dó.
Michael later waits for Julie outside the studio.
Fanann Michael le Julie lasmuigh den stiúideo ina dhiaidh sin.
She is reluctant to talk to him, but he tells her that he and her father played pool and had a good time.
Tá drogall uirthi labhairt leis, ach deir sé léi gur imir sé féin agus a hathair linn snámha agus go raibh dea-am aige.
She finally admits she misses Dorothy.
Admhaíonn sí sa deireadh go gcailleann sí Dorothy.
Michael tells her, “I was a better man with you as a woman than I ever was with a woman as a man.”
Deir Michael léi, “Bhí mé fear níos fearr leat mar bhean ná mar a bhí mé riamh le bean mar fhear.”
Julie forgives him and they walk down the street together, engaged in conversation.
Tugann Julie maithiúnas dó agus siúlann siad síos an tsráid le chéile, i mbun comhrá.
