Sakura Kiyose (Riru Yoshina), a high school student in the art club, wants to go to Tokyo to study at an art college, but her mother Tamaki (Yo Hitoto), who does not expect her daughter to leave home, does not listen… Sakura's father, Koichi (Kanji Tsuda) returns home after a long absence. Sakura and Tamaki, looking forward to Koichi’s return, spend time together as a family, but they end up arguing as they discuss their future plans. In contrast, Koichi wants to respect his daughter’s wishes. Tamaki tries to one-sidedly express her own feelings and finally kicks Koichi out of the house. Just at the awkward mother-daughter relationship, Sakura receives a call that Tamaki has collapsed at work! Sakura anonymously posts her feelings that she can’t tell anyone on social media and seeks solace in a stray cat she meets by chance.
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.
