The map where the independence army's military funds are stored is contained within the body of the Buddha statue. A bloody fight ensues over this, and In-sik, a patriotic young man, searches for the lost Buddha statue with Monk Hae-cho. At this time, he meets a female singer named Gyocheongcheong. And Detective Mori follows them. They came all the way to Manchuria in search of the Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is kept in the home of an antiques enthusiast named Jincheon. The provincial office goes from place to place looking for Buddha statues. Seoljungmae appears like the wind and disappears without a sound. It is she, the school district office, who is the one who chills the conversation among Japanese people. Ultimately, thanks to her activities, the Buddha statue containing the map falls into the hands of the independence army.
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.
