Brothers Zhengxiong and Zhenghan lost their father in their early years. The brothers have been dependent on each other since they were young, and they have a deep brotherly love. Zhengxiong has an active personality, is upright and strong, and likes to fight with others since he was young. Zhenghan has a quiet personality and likes to read. Seeing that Zhenghan is eager to further his studies, Zhengxiong learns boxing and becomes a boxing coach to earn money for Zhenghan to study. Zhenghan becomes a famous lawyer in the future, and he works tirelessly while studying law at university. Zhengxiong meets Lin Yinyin, a top student from the art department from Zhenghan's university and seeing how perfect of a woman she is, Zhengxiong tries to set Zhenghan up with Yinyin. However, Zhenghan's heart is only in his studies.
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.
