Fuzoku is nothing, so pick up a pick-up. Ken is a university student who refuses to take anything seriously except picking up girls. Shin, a junior student who spends all his time picking up girls with Ken, has a girlfriend called Sakura for the first time. Shin worries about himself in terms of love. Shin gets angry at Ken's attitude of making fun of him, and they finally get into a fistfight. Ken loses out and gets injured, but still goes out into the night downtown to pick up girls again... Conversation between Ken and Shin, who seem to be talking but do not communicate. Ken's pick-up, where he is actually not interested in the other person. Sakura, who doesn't explain anything. The bright emptiness of a generation living with language that does not produce communication is portrayed with a fixed camera like a photo box and night photography.

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.
