Jesus, Lucio and Pereira are former police officers who were expelled from service and now work in Mundo Maravilha, an amusement park. The embarrassment of leaving led Jesus to try suicide. Today, he coordinates the work of 28 private security guards and wishes to return to the Police. Lucio got in to avenge his mother's murder and hunt outlaws. Pereira today is a protestant Christian and plays Perereco, a child's character that entertains kids at church. In the cheerful landscape of the park, the Brazilian documentary Jesus no Mundo Maravilha reveals, through the dreams of these three former police officers, the values of Police culture in Brazil.
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.
