Original Title:
Turkish chat
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 13
A short film with the developed idea of "chat is not made only through the internet the 'Turkish Chat' never..." and by the humorist act of narrating the mixture of the graffiti and recent chat culture. The whole movie is prepared in English with the idea of international film festivals. When a young man goes out of the underground, he wants to go to "the water closet" but all "the water closets" and urinals are busy. After a few minutes, a man goes out of "the water closet". A young man gets into that water closet. After he enters that water closet, he replies to one of the messages written there, and all his world changes from that moment. Afterwards, he has only one aim to look at his place in the water closet. It's a duty like looking at his e-mails. Also, even "the special songs" that he listens to in the underground don't help him to give up on this strange game. But an inevitable end is waiting for him in this game. Every beauty has an end.
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.
