Streaming services like Amazon Prime show details about that particular scene when paused like&nbsp; Cast, Trivia etc. in their X-Ray feature but not synonyms or thesaurus for the dialogue.</div><div><br></div><div>Say I'm watching a video and press a special key e.g. 'S' and Synonyms pop up for the words in the dialogue sentence except basic grammar.

I feel they don't get the attention they deserve in making a movie great.<div><br></div><div>I want to follow the latest work of a cinematographer, visual effects director, dialogue writer, stunt coordinator etc. I liked in a movie. Actors, especially lead actors get stupendous coverage on television and online; but others from the film crew who had put exemplary effort don't get covered about their latest work.</div><div><br></div><div>A fan like me who would like to know about the latest work of these professionals, would watch a movie/series for their work but have no mechanism to get the required information and hence the need gap. Of course, some of them might have twitter accounts; but I would like to get updates on just their latest work and not their personal/world views; so Twitter doesn't fill this need gap.</div> 3 points posted by Ramon Eater /problems/32-following-work-of-a-non-acting-member-from-films-movies-information 32 Thu, 12 Sep 2019 02:44:00 +0000 I feel censorship on a movie, is against the artistic freedom and against the freedom of expression by itself.

This service maintains the list of movies &amp; shows with their platforms for easy search. For this to work, Currently, each platform lists its contents in a searchable manner, whether it is original content or third party. But if a consumer wants to locate which platform has a particular show or movie, there is no easy way (but for a generic search). This service can either do a back-to-back search on multiple platforms, parse the returned value, merge multiple responses and present to the user. Alternatively, it can maintain a local cache/catalogue.<br> 1 points posted by sierra1bravo /problems/147-which-platform-streams-my-fav-show-or-movie-streaming-movies 147 Tue, 11 Aug 2020 05:52:00 +0000
