After Song Kunhuai's career, he had to face economic difficulties and almost ended up in a tragic situation of homelessness. At this critical moment, he met A Nan and Qing Yong, who was a cowherd. Under his recommendation, Song Kunhuai also went to sea. As a prostitute, Lian Li was often ravaged by her clients, so she vented her anger on Song Kunhuai and Qing Yong. Unable to resist, the two had to find an experienced A Nan. Unexpectedly, A Nan not only managed to deal with Lian Li, but also tied the knot with her. Taizhu's husband was impotent and oppressed, so she had to find Qingyong to satisfy her desires. In between, the two developed a sincere relationship, but it was too difficult for the two people with awkward identities. A man's sister has always been silently in love with Song Kunhuai, and she can only choose to become his client as she dare not confess.
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.
