Jomon Period. This word that even elementary school students know if they are Japanese. However, the more I know the actual situation, the more mysteries there are ... In fact, most of them are mysteries. Although there are a huge number of strange shaped objects such as clay figurines that seem to support the theory of aliens flying to Earth, what they are, even now in the 21st century. It's still a mystery without anyone reaching the truth. The film approaches the core of its secrets through interviews with archaeologists, cultural figures, artists, and those who are passionate about the Jomon period.
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.
