Furong runs a small wine shop. Furong is the most famous flower on Furongdu, beautiful people, good wine and sweet songs. Every day, young people from all over the world come to the wine shop to fight for oral wine. The man rushed to the front and died in the war, but she kept keeping the news from her demented mother-in-law, Jiu Aunt, and served her wholeheartedly. The blacksmith Zhengnan and Furong had been together for two years, but Furong refused to marry him. Furong vowed to wait until the devils were driven out of China and the man's bones returned to his hometown. Gunshots rang out on Furongdu that day, and the Japanese army, Inada Shaozu, led a contingent to Furongdu to build a bridge at the ferry. The rice fields had to rely on local villagers and blacksmiths to complete the task of building bridges. The Japanese army used artillery fire to build up its prestige and threatened to burn hundreds of acres of rice fields in Furong, but the patriarch refused.
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.
