In the not-so-distant future, a new psychological disorder emerges among humans. Novel Fulminant Depressive Disorder (NFDD), a condition so severe it causes patients to fall into a coma due to overwhelming depression. Counselor LIN Xin-yan, whose best friend is afflicted with NFDD, crosses paths with WU Tian-rui, a brain science and engineering researcher. Combining their expertise, the two strive to piece together the inner world of the afflicted—the Abyssverse—in hopes of helping them break free. Yet, amidst their investigation, a subtle connection begins to form between them. As they went closer to each other, they also draw nearer to uncovering the truth behind the illness. Each of us lives within a sealed universe of our own. And behind that fissure of the collapse, lies either a deeper abyss of despair…? or a different kind of salvation?
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.
