Based off of a real-life story and set between the late 1940s and early 1950s during the liberation of Xinjiang. In a poor village in Kashgar, Xinjiang, Landlord Usman, in an effort to please Commissioner Yiming, offers Anarhan as a concubine. Anarhan, in love with the brave and handsome Kurban, refuses to marry Yiming, and her family becomes brutally persecuted by Usman. At the same time, Yiming joins forces with Inspector Masha to stop the Communist Party from marching into Xinjiang. Rahman, believing that the Communist Party can change their miserable lives, helps the People's Liberation Army and tasked forces arrive to Xinjiang. The villagers engage in a series of struggles to fight the evil landlords that once oppressed them, and finally welcome a new life. —MyDramaList
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.
