When Mei-chen’s son Doudou takes his son Doumio to Hsia’s on a research trip, Mei-chen flies into a panic. Mei-chen, who regards herself as a modern woman, cannot bear her mother Hsia believing in superstitions. Hsia’s house is not only derelict but unhygienic. What if something bad happens to her baby grandson? Mei-chen rushes to Hsia’s but accidentally time travels with Doumio back to Hsia’s childhood. Meanwhile, the spirit imprisoned by Hsia’s spell secretly escapes and emerges from the sea in the storm to seek revenge. The wind blows and the waves churn. Hsia’s magic power has waned with her old age. For her beloved family, Mei-chen musters the courage to reason with the aggrieved ghost while little Doumio comforts and tenderly strokes the ghost’s old wound. Will the joint effort bring peace back to the village?
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.
