It tells the story of the winter of 1948, when the final battle to liberate Northeast China began. Thousands of farmers in the northeastern liberated areas voluntarily joined the migrant workers' brigade and headed forward in heavy snow. Tian Yongtai, who was in his fifties, rushed to the front line to lift the wounded, but the village chief could not stop him. Before setting off, he was worried about paying public food, so he asked his youngest son to drive the sledge to pick up his second daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law had a lovely son. She rushed to deliver public food and asked the second daughter-in-law to hold the child at home. The two sisters-in-law had an argument and asked their father-in-law to write a letter to Tian Erhu who was on the front line.
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.
