Toivo, a university student comes back to the City to finish his bachelor's degree. Upon arrival, he meets the face of disaster when his breadwinner brother, Simon, is murdered right before his eyes by a gang from which, Simon, borrowed money that he used to pay for Toivo's tuition. The series of events involves his home being burned, leaving him and his sister, Maggy, with nowhere to go. Amidst all the chaos, Toivo unknowingly joins the same gang that's responsible for his miserable life. As if that is not enough chaos, Toivo discovers that his sister, Maggy, has been prostituting herself in order to make ends meet since their brother's passing. As his life crumbles away, Toivo is forced to put himself through education, protect the family and come to terms with the revelation that has been in bed with the same individual responsible for his current 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.
