The Third Grandmother was named Su Meiling, an auntie of Wen Hui’s father. Wen Hui hadn’t known of her existence until 2011; for her father had never mentioned this grandmother to her in his life. In early 2011, Wen Hui returned to his hometown in Yunnan to trace his family history, and for the first time met Su Meiling the Third Grandmother, then 84 years old, in a mountain-surrounded village called Dahebian. She seemed to have been waiting for her for the past 50 years. She told Wen Hui the family’s history, and resultingly, stories and the purest of unconscious feelings emerged from the heart of Wen Hui.
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.
