In Republican China ceramics tycoon Long Baihua from influential Long family, met actress Cui Yiqing from famous theatrical troupe, and the two quickly fell in love. Regardless of the opposition of their families, they settled for life, reciting "Shang Xie" as an oath. However, when the war came, Long Baihua left Cui Yiqing on the grounds that "the bitch is ruthless, the actor is not righteous", and betrayed the former each other. Because of love and hatred, Cui Yiqing also began to betray the previous oath. And curse every ruthless and unrighteous descendant of the Long family. Long Nianzu, Long Baihua's grandson, began to investigate the past out of curiosity about his grandfather's life experience. Could it be that Cui Yiqing's previous curse really fell on the descendants of the Long family
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.
