Traveling reveals more than just geography. The Great Asian Highway is a travel documentary revealing the continuous transformation of the real Asia, along the "Asian Highway," a network of roads that crisscross 32 countries from Turkey in the west and to Japan in the east. Asia, which has grown as the center of the global economy, is vibrant and filled with energy, with many changes eminent in both cityscape and its peoples. In Season 2 of The Great Asian Highway, the journey starts from Indonesia and heads to China via Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. As we meet local residents along the way, we are reminded of the vicissitudes of a turbulent Asia. Continue the journey of discovering the real face of Asia.
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.
