A young copywriter Sergey dreams of escaping from a boring life and writing a novel. He quits his job, locks himself alone in his apartment to devote all his time to this, but the process is difficult. One day he notices in the reflection of the mirror on the door of an old massive cabinet that the page on the laptop screen is covered with text, while in reality it is completely empty. Sergey copies the written text from the reflection and realizes that this is the beginning of the novel, which he tried to invent himself. Soon Sergey gets acquainted with a mirror image of himself, which seems to him more confident, free and talented. Reflection gradually subordinates Sergey, gains power over him, teaches him how to become productive and successful. But what is the price of this success and the chances of finding yourself again
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.
