Mushitaro spends everyday life without any hope or dreams. He occasionally hears delusional voice of people in suffering, which made him lose emotions. Johnny mentally controls Mushitaro with sophistry just to satisfy his greed. Working as garbagemen, they are struggling actors in a small theater. Not talented and not making much effort, they survive everyday living together in a old fork house in Osaka. Mushitaro and Johnny have messed up the stage many times, trying Johnny’ s selfish method in acting and finally get fired by the theater company. Nevertheless, Johnny never accept the reality. For him, he is right and the others are wrong. !en, one day he encounters his God “Joker”, the monster of hatred. Influenced by Joker, Johnny transforms Mushitaro and himself into monsters to make revenge to the theater and also to the society that doesn’t treat them right. Which will lead the reckless two to an unexpected disaster.
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.
