I was watching The Alienist on Netflix and was caught completely by surprise at some very devvy scenes. I won't spoil it for those of you who might want to see it, but it has to do with the main character and it really impacts the story. I love it so much when I stumble upon devvy content I wasn't expecting, makes me so excited lol It's definitely worth the watch. Can you elaborate at all? I don't have it on Netflix here. I can get it on Amazon but I would have to pay for it so before I do that I kinda wanna make sure it's a little up my alley. Thanks!

Here's some (minor) The Alienist spoiler: The main character has had a brachial plexus injury as a kid, and can't really move his right arm. It isn't revealed until around episode three. It might not seem a lot but *damn*, I found it really surprisingly devvy, and that's not even my "thing". Also, the series overall is really good.

I don’t really know how devvy this movie is. I’m not a blind dev myself and watch it from a different perspective. But this is one of the most beautiful movies I‘ve ever seen. Majid Majidi is one of the filmmakers who are referred to as being part of the Iranian „Nouvelle Vague“. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Pure love and humanity.

That is so sad, blueskye101! I wonder why. You would expect American movies to be blocked in Iran, not the other way around.

I assume that is a joke. The reason it's blocked is almost certainly because of copyright control, not censorship. That film had a wide release in US cinemas when it first came out and got a lot of positive reviews from film critics. Youtube probably got complaints from the company that sells the DVDs in the US.

Hi everyone! I've been away for quite a while from this message board. I think this is my favorite secction of all. Thanks to many of you I have discover many interesting movies and tv series to satisfy my devotee needs . I used to be fan of Cain (I even started learning french) but I lost interest ever since the Cain character became like any other AB character, just in a wheelchair, capable of doing anything without respecting logic. And for worst, the relationship btw him and Lutenient Lucie that was sort of becomimg a complicated romance, became nothing. He got the reporter pregnant and for what I understood she died w unborn baby and he didnt give shit about it. And then they changed actor, a more good looking one, but to be honest I liked more the old one. I recently started watching Die Totem von Salzburg (thank you Paradevo´s Message Board !!) I really like the main character, and I think in general this show and Cain are very similar. I've only seen episode 1 and 3 (on Youtube). I have not been able to found ep 2 and 4 or 5, only some photos and its been as frustrating as understanding zero German. If anyone founds those episodes with or without subtitles please let me know. For now I'll leve here a link where you can see some photos of the new episode recently air, that looks promesing tv.orf.at/highlights/orf2/191120_die_toten_von_salzburg_wolf_im_schafspelz100.htmland episodes 1 & 2 ... but only in screen captures www.diethelm-glaser.net/TV/Krimis/ez/T/TvS_01_Die-Toten-von-Salzburg.htmwww.diethelm-glaser.net/TV/Krimis/ez/T/TvS_02_Zeugenmord.htm

Or for a torrent file somewhere that will make do! I'll even take it with no English subtitles at this point. I'll learn the damned German!!

I found a list of films where the main characters are blind. There are many which have been mentioned or discussed here, however, there are also ones which I had never heard of! The link is here: www.imdb.com/list/ls033951956/Good luck browsing!
