Summary: Morality, Shepard style
Comment: To me Shepard is saying that whether you are a pauper living in a hovel or a gentleman living on an estate, the cantankerous affects of life without morals will get you. All participants in the acts captured in the 'pictures' were ultimately victims.
However, describing this play exclusively as a moral treatise would be a moral outrage! This play is classic Shepard. The characters are edgy, the dialogue is light and quick, the setting desert western, and the plot is charged. Shepard's characters seemed to me to be at once unbelievable, and yet a little bit more like myself than I'd like to admit.
Rating: 5
Summary: SIMPATICO, the best play ever written
Comment: Sam Shepard's SIMPATICO is by far the best play ever written. Gripping dialogue, suspense, romance, intrigue, comic relief, deciet, lost love, and turmoil fill the pages of this play with unstoppable reading pleasure!
When Vinnie calls his best friend, Lyle, down to his down-and-out home in Cucumonga California, they start discussing a conflict which has been unresolved for over twenty years now. My favorite scene is when Rosie Carter, Lyle's wife and Vinnie's old girlfriend, comes in. She has the most important character, and her eleventh-hour performance is remarkable and simply powerful. Rosie is the tragic beauty that makes this play stand out.
About the movie SIMPATICO, possibly one of the best pictures of all time. Nick Nolte, Jeff Bridges, and Sharon Stone. Stone shines above all as the beautiful, tragic Rosie.
