During the years of Guangxu's rule, the Zhangku Avenue of the Northern Silk Road managed by the Zhang family enjoyed great prosperity, nd extended to the trading route of the Russians. However it all changed one day... Lu Junjie, son of the Zhang family, undergoes a huge family change and was forced to wander it the grasslands. He wanted to start anew, but the Zhai family who stole his family's property never stopped trying to harm him. For their own interests, they allied with bandits and tied to kill him. Lu Junjie's closest ones fought to death to protect the Zhuangku Avenue. Gradually, more people chose to stand by Lu Junjie's side, helping him to repair the railways, build commercial radio; contributing greatly to the country's trade.
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.
