Je-je's father was working at the Gu-ro Industrial Complex when he caused an accident and was subsequently fired. As his family falls into hardship, Je-je doesn't receive much love or interest from his parents. One day, the family moves to a house in the forest protection zone. When he fools around, Je-je is scolded and he would whine to the tree in the backyard. He is still mischievous when he enters the elementary school. One day, Je-je is picking flowers in the neighbor's yard when he is caught. He hurts himself as he is running away. As injured Je-je goes to school, the Japanese dean, Mudoa helps him and they become friends. He learns about love from Mudoa but she dies in a car crash. From the shock, Je-je lingers between life and death. He finally recovers and the family smiles again. Je-je keeps the love in his heart despite the bitterness and becomes strong.
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.
