The protagonist in Notice of Rejection appears to be unmoved by historical barbarism and societal injustice -- until Rejection hits home -- then it's a different story. Turning to social media, no one "likes", nor do they follow or even comment on his predicament. He calls the authorities, to no avail. Now completely obsessed, he becomes an activist and goes looking for acknowledgment, only to have doors slammed in his face. Even a public protest fails to elicit a whisper of sympathy; it's time to let go, so he buries his passion. Having shed the burden, our protagonist turns a new leaf - he decides to see if rejection can be turned around, made benevolent, and perhaps even grow into something that changes his life.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
