Harbin, China, January 1945. Japan continued the war for 14 years, and many people from Japan moved to what is now the northeastern part of China, which was called Manchuria at the time. Ecchan, who came from Japan, dreams of becoming a mother as soon as possible and having 20 children to become soldiers. It was a big dream for a little Ecchan who still didn't understand the horror of war and its meaning. August 15. After Japan lost the war, the Chinese people, who had been discriminated against, began to take out their anger and pain on the Japanese. From this moment on, Ecchan's sad fate begins until they return to Japan.

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.
