SSE is a psychedelic coming-of-age comedy about a young man coming to terms with his future, as well as the impact he has on those around him. After a devastating break-up, our protagonist, John, begins taking a mysterious drug that allows him to see his ex-girlfriend as though she never left. As time goes on however, he realizes that this imaginary woman has little in common with the person he used to know. Like many coming of age films, this story tackles what it means to become your own person, and the frustration that comes when it seems like everybody but you has it all figured out. More than that, though, SSE is a film about the ideas we form in our heads about our loved ones, and how they can forever damage our relationships if not addressed.
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.
