“I Deserve” (2015) is an avant-garde film, an essay of archetypes, female archetypes in the corporate and extremely capitalist world that we live in. It was inspired by the need to be and appear “successful” and effective. The idea that the oppressed have to be overcome as an objective and their struggles and over pass the oppressor, in this case, the man. In many cases this objective has made them ultra superior beings that not only surpass the man but also have created a new breed of beings. The psychological state can be mixed with issues of repression and how architecture, spaces, structures and lighting can contribute to create specific worlds. A dialogue between Ayn Rand’s objectivism and Fassbinder’s Martha to give an example.
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.
