Joon-young is a middle school student from an ordinary middle-class family. He meets Young-ok in the same school following an accident in which he gets his two teeth broken by the baseball bat Young-ok was swinging. The accident reveals that Young-ok is from North Korea. Nevertheless, they are drawn to each other. One day during a basketball game, Joon-young’s classmate find Young-ok and make fun of him for dating a North Korean girl, which Joon-young strongly denies. Out of guilt about being indifferent to Young-ok, he comes to her class to find that she is absent. The film deals with the level of awareness of people from North Korea among South Korean natives, and describes the delicate affection between humans beyond the background.
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.
