B2 – The Story
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 99
The B2 film describes youth culture in an original and apt way. The recipe for a uniquely arresting film is simply that it is a film made by young professionals for similar young people. The film contains fast-paced stunts, beautiful model girls, tuning cars, drifting, parties, parties, rock'n'roll and the unique relaxed atmosphere of the Finnish summer. B2 unearths the most visible and popular phenomena related to the world of young people, from music to the extreme tricks favored by young people. The film differs from normal Finnish films with its over-the-top positivity. The film is a funny and humorous description of young people whose unforgettable summer does not include unnecessary drug addictions and depressive syndromes. B2 is speed and love in big frames, larger-than-life emotions in small people...
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.
