The song "Sakura Nagashi" by Hikaru Utada, reflects on themes of love, loss, and the beauty of fleeting moments. The opening lines describe cherry blossoms falling after just blooming, and the disappointment of witnessing their ephemeral nature. This could symbolize the passing of time and the realization that life is transient. The persona mentions someone who was watching the cherry blossoms with regret, suggesting that they were aware of the beauty and brevity of the moment. The chorus, "Everybody finds love, In the end," could imply that despite the fleeting nature of relationships, love ultimately prevails. It suggests that despite the impermanence of romantic connections, everyone will find love in the end. This can be seen as an optimistic message about the resilience of love. Overall, "Sakura Nagashi" conveys the delicate and transient nature of life and love, urging listeners to cherish moments, express their emotions, and embrace love despite its impermanence. —SongTell
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.
