Director Inudo's first film, influenced by Masato Hara's "Ballad of Sadness Colored by Strangeness," Kazuki Omori's "Flying Saucer" series, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "School Days. A film about the breakup of the group and another film shot on the same day. In the summer of 1978, a boy who is too absorbed in the stage and the movies gets his first menstrual period, and by making a film called "Change Your Mood," he changes his mood and gets through his period. The power of showing the film as being about something familiar and then lifting it up to a fictional structure and putting everything that the filmmaker feels about the time period in which he lives into it is overwhelming. The power of this film is overwhelming to the viewer.

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.
