Revolving around the modern Greek woman and her perspective on love in general, not one, but twenty-one brief and vivid vignettes attempt to shed light on an ever-present matter: can there be consequences in Cupid's eternal game?
Revolving around the modern Greek woman and her perspective on love in general, not one, but twenty-one brief and vivid vignettes--some of them beautifully allegorical, and other charmingly artistic--attempt to shed light on an ever-present matter: can there be consequences in Cupid's eternal game? Since Adam and Eve, the omnipotent Eros rules the hearts of men and women--no task is too difficult for him once he sets his mind on succeeding--after all, he did manage to govern the will of a love-smitten Prince Paris to conquer the young temptress, Helen of Troy. With this in mind, no human is safe from the intoxicating effects of desire--be it unfaithful husbands in search of the next excitement; always-curious students; seemingly prudent seductresses; hopeless lovers, and even elderly couples. Is there democracy in the uphill battle for love?
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.
