The action takes place shortly before the Victory in the ruins of Berlin. But it is not the military actions that are at the center of what is happening, but the fate of people, their sorrows and hopes. A young first-year Dandelion, drafted in the last days of the war, suffers completely childishly from the fact that he will not get military glory. His older friend, Dervoed, in front of whom his wife and son died, is suffering unable to cope with the mental pain. In contrast, the Rebel, who was taken to the military enlistment office right from his own wedding, is nervous and fierce. A real "war dog", he only knows how to kill. What to do when the war is over, where to put yourself?
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.
