LEE Tian-han is a teenager who questions everything. His father, LEE Yi-feng, is a doctor with ambition, and his mother, XU Shu-yi, is a doctor’s wife who strives to maintain peace at home and resist external pressures. His younger brother, Tian-rui, has a warm personality. Although their family appears perfect to outsiders, Tian-han has always had a nagging feeling that Shu-yi is not truly happy and that the family’s facade is upheld by her willpower. After Tian-han enrolls in a prestigious school, he becomes a source of pride for his parents, making him believe their family is a mere model. He starts distancing himself from home and falls in love with the enigmatic LUO Xue-jin. However, while pursuing Xue-jin, he discovers that she also brings happiness to Shu-yi. Their secret liaison quietly impacts the fate of their family, including the course of Shu-yi’s life.
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
