The Relationships In Tootsie

            Michael Dorsey has many relationships in his life. Many of them are put into serious jeopardy when he decides to dress like a woman to get a part on a TV show. He then makes new relationships with his new persona and puts those relationships in jeopardy when he reveals, he is really a man dressed as a woman.
             The first of these relationships is with one of his acting students Sandy. Michael and she have gone on several dates, and she has invited him over for dinner on different occasions. It is clear that Sandy likes Michael but does he really like her. I think that if he did that he would not have stood her up for dinner and lied to her on so many occasions about where he got the eight thousand dollars and being sick all the time. If Sandy even considers talking to him again I believe that there is not going to be anymore romantic feelings behind her.
             Michael's other woman as it were, is named Julie. She stars on the TV show that Michael got the part as a woman on. Almost the second the Michael sees Julie I believe that he becomes infatuated with her. The problem is that Julie only knows Michael by his onscreen women persona and not as a man. While in the dressing room in fact Michaels tries to make a move on her forgetting that he was dressed as a women; leading her to think that he is a lesbian. Interestingly enough the one time that they met before Michael revealed his secret, Julie threw her glass of champagne in his face. Through Michaels character however, he helps Julie deal with her relationship with Ron.
             Julie and Ron's relationship is sad to say, a somewhat typical one between men and women. Ron is the Powerful and rich director of the show Julie is on; and she is the leading lady. However most of their relationship is Ron calling her baby and telling what to do. Ron is doing the same thing that Michael was doing in his relationship with Sandy. Both of the women believe that the relationship is exclusive and they are not seeing anyone else.
