The Pasha mocks the farmers and workers of his estate, who suffer from his greed and are incited against him by Amin, who lives in the coal-burning district. Later, Amin's father is killed by unknown persons. At the same time, Loza, Amin's fiancée, is looking forward to getting rich; therefore, she surrenders to the Pasha, who refuses to marry her and delays giving her any part of his property. The Pasha fabricates a charge of possessing counterfeit currency against Amin, who flees and discovers that the Pasha is behind his father's murder and the charge attributed to him. He is also surprised by Loza's relationship with the Pasha, so he decides to take revenge.
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.
