Overview from TheMovieDB

ARCADIA(Ipsuk Bugeun) is originally conceived from a representative figure in Korean literature writer Hwang Sok-yong’s debut novel Ipsuk Bugeun(1962). It was filmed in the winter of 2015 at Towangseong Waterfall, a sacred place in the history of Korean mountaineering located in Mt. Sorak. Ipsuk Bugeun represents the stark beauty of nature, created by the transiently shaped ice walls against the elaborately forged rocks formed through time, and human’s genuine and sublime pursuit to witness the artistry and splendor of nature. The lines excerpted from the novel which depicts a boy’s existential grow through encountering moments of justice, friendship, death and rests in a composed matter are translated synesthetically into Jang’s video. Collaboration with art director Lee Kyungsoo(workroom) the original typeface from the 1962’s Ipsuk Bugeun was adapted to the film and music direction by Jung Jaeil enhances the narrative experience of the viewer appealing to auditory sense.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
