A thrilling court drama based on the novel "The Anti-Execution Squad" of the Olomouc-based author Petr Ritter. On the eve of the Velvet Revolution, the final trial of the accused of brutal murder is being conducted. The threat of a death sentence hovers over him. The court recorder follows the process through the prism of the uniqueness of human life, and is the only one who raises the question of guilt, justice and appropriate punishment. It will be up to him to try to convince the judge of his opinion. In the end, the viewer will be confronted with a surprising resolution of the whole drama. The catharsis of the story forces the viewers to interpret the court decision themselves.
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.
