Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin" data-source="post: 256351" data-attributes="member: 57167">I think it's interesting how much background music and dialogue is a part of a scene and how if you replace the sound can convey something different with the same source material. I've noticed it over and over again when I edit together fan music videos. Larry and Linda were perfectly cast as JR and Sue Ellen. They had chemistry and were both really great actors. I think it really comes across when you rewatch scenes with them. Also a scene that comes to mind especially that got better with a different music background is the scene where she begins drinking again after his funeral on Dallas TNT. It is a really powerful moment and the pain is so visible on her face and yet the first time I saw it the moment was ruined for me with that background sound that really didn't fit. Does anyone else have any thoughts on that scene? Then as for the early years, I do believe that JR was the love of her life and that Sue Ellen was the love of his. I believe Sue Ellen loved Dusty. But never in the same way as she loved JR and yes JR was jealous of Dusty. He felt like the other man was moving in on what was his. I remember another great scene between the men when they squared off at the Dallas stadium and JR was mocking Dusty because he couldn't keep Sue Ellen satisifed in bed now when he was impotent.</blockquote>
