Screening of the national classics, the film is based on the works of the national writer of Yakutia Sivtsev D.K.-Suorun Omollon "Kuoh koppo" (Lazy), "Dyarapylaan" (Aeroplane), "Beyet emtieke (Self-medicator). The film tells about the events after the civil war. The first years of Soviet power. A new peaceful and quiet life, with an amazing future ahead of us. But first signs of civilization have not reached the Yakut village yet. Everything is new here. Ordinary people hear a lot of new and unusual things, but this has never happened before! The arrival of the first airplane! An iron bird! Astonishment, astonishment, and most of all fear of it overwhelmed the villagers to the point that the poor peasant fell into the swamp with fright! Both scary and interesting!
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.
