True west was an interesting read. Some scenes were amusing but others puzzling. It was very funny when Lee returned home with a stolen television and he told Saul Kimmer that he “just got Austin’s color T.V. back from the shop.” Both of the boys later become drunk and everything becomes a competition to the two of them. They do some pretty hilarious drunken acts but it began to seem like they were acting a bit crazy. Austin started to express that he was tired of his boring life and would like to live free like Lee does but Lee only denies that Austin would be able to last trying to live like Lee. It was so funny when Austin tried to prove he can be bad and steals a bunch of toasters. Austin and Lee switched roles mid-play. Austin became the uncontrollable drunk and Lee the more mature acting one. Lee was just trying to write his own screen play and Austin was acting like a fool. There were very emotional times, the brothers were constantly fighting and yelling at each other. They were drunk and winey as well. I wondered about the mother, if she was crazy or not. She returned home to a destroyed house and had very little to say about it, her plants were dead, she thought Picasso was alive and at a museum giving out autographs, and her sons were killing each other and all the time she remained calm and tranquil. I found it all strange but amusing at the same time.
