Runtime: 88
The war history and family life of Nong Jianzhong, a Zhuang Vietnam War veteran, have exposed a lot of absurd political lies. The emperor's new clothes will eventually be revealed to be a farce. The lonely sail has landed and is independent. Everything is empty. The grandson represents the future, the old man represents the past, and the lies of authoritarianism have persisted across generations and have not disappeared. He was full of revolutionary feelings, nostalgic for the past, and recited revolutionary songs. However, after demobilization and return to his hometown, he was "oppressed by revolutionary comrades" due to the family planning policy. Some anti-party elements transformed into revolutionaries and occupied high positions. And the vast number of ordinary combatants he represents have been forgotten by the country, society, and families. He is contradictory and tangled. He recognizes the Communist Party but is dissatisfied with the Communist Party.
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.
