[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 327085, member: 237"] This is what I enjoy about the early episodes. They took time and energy to block each scene so that the position of the actors and their body language tells a story to back up the dialogue. Here's a fun experiment. Pretend that you have no idea of [I]Dallas[/I] or the characters. You can understand a lot just by looking at this one screenshot. The woman standing: She is standing "hat in hand" as she speaks with the woman seated. She is looking for approval from the seated woman. The woman seated: She is the one in charge here. She remains seated and comfortable. Notice her body language shows openness. She just might be open to this younger woman. Now look at the background. The man standing there is literally facing away from the conversation. Close enough to hear, but far enough not to be involved. He wants no part of this. He is looking out over his ranch. He would rather be working the cattle, working the horses, [I]anything[/I] besides dealing with this new interloper. The attention to detail is amazing. [ATTACH type="full"]38063[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
