Jiani, who has been working hard in Yuehai City for many years with her boyfriend Zhiyuan, recently encountered disagreements with him over the matters of marriage and buying a house. A phone call led her to reconnect with her biological family and embark on a journey to find them. She discovered that she actually has three biological siblings. During her time with her birth family, the three sisters healed each other emotionally, reminding Jiani of the bits and pieces of her childhood with her adoptive father. This experience prompted her to reevaluate her understanding of family relationships and emotions. Upon returning to Yuehai City, seeing Zhiyuan, who had always welcomed her back home at the bridge, Jiani summoned the courage to make changes.
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.
