Meenakshi a thirteen-year-old girl, her father Mohamed Jahan and her mother Indulekha who live in there marooned worlds. Jahan is a taxidermist. He tries to freeze the flight of birds, reflecting his view of life affecting relationships. His world is like a box of eerie memories frozen in taxi -dermal mounts, glass jars and bead eyes. Indulekha, who had an emotional paralytic stroke, is bedridden. Life goes on disconnected in the huge ancestral house of dark shades. Fighting the forced solitude, the teenager created a magical world of happiness around her. On a fateful day, confused and drunk, Jahan during his usual charade of expressing his unrequited love towards Indulekha mistakenly advances towards Meenakshi. That dark act throws the splintered lives into a moral vortex. It takes her to an abysmal plunge to loss of her pictorial passion of life.
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.
