The truth is that stories just happen, through the magic that connects all humans and which attracts even strangers to one another: it's the force of attraction towards others. And so it goes that we share intense experiences with people we meet by chance and never see again, or with those that remain forever, or with others who have yet to decide whether to stay or go. The basic condition for all this is the chance to be intimate". Some Strangers have gone on a blind date in a hotel room in Naples and have shared their personal stories with someone they have never heard of and never met before. The film shows that it's not necessary to be relatives, friends or lovers to share private truth and personal emotions. Room 431 celebrates ordinary's people daily life.
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.
