It's near the end of the war. A mysterious woman named Teru who lives by the sea finds two soldiers, Terada and Yamazaki, swimming ashore from a sunken warship. Teru carries the injured Yamazaki back to her house and uses her mysterious powers to heal his wounds. Terada learns a surprising fact from Teru: they are not on Earth. The two have been transported in a time capsule to a planet similar to Earth, on the other side of the sun. Teru was once married to an Earthling. Now, faced with a new Earthling, Teru and her daughter Miru... A fateful encounter between an alien who looks just like a human woman and a soldier, and the dramatic love story of a couple that transcends time and space.
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.
