1990, Jeollanam-do. Twelve-year-old Iri trades a Coca-Cola mixed with bleach with a blue-eyed monk from Germany, believing it will let her die with her terminally ill twin, Chowon. Iri doesn't know it's a staged act by her shaman mother losing her divine power. But three months later, it is not Iri who dies, but Chowon. 2008, Berlin. studying abroad in Germany, Iri becomes an assistant writer and discovers an unfinished novel depicting a romance between the late Chowon and the blue-eyed monk. For the first time in 18 years, it is not Iri who asks the question—he does. "Why did you kill Chowon?"
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.
