A couple, Ok-Nyeo and Hyeon-Bo, lives in a village near Ji-Ri Mountain. They are poor but happy. As healthy Hyeon-Bo gets sick, Ok-Nyeo takes care of him getting snakes and herbs for him but he doesn't get better. Thus Ok-Nyeo sells her body to men of the village for care of sick Hyeon-Bo. As they came to know this, village women give her mob violence. Even in this hard situation, their love is getting deeper. Mr. Choi, who wants for Ok-Nyeo, is impressed by their love while he is watching the couple. As he scares Hyeon-Bo and gives him a good scolding on purpose, Hyeon-Bo jumps out of bed to beat Mr. Choi soundly. Ok-Nyeo sheds tears due to her husband's dramatic resuscitation while Mr. Choi leaves leaving enough paper money and herbal medicine.
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.
