The repetition of a dull student activist's everyday life, with its limited scenery and abbreviated dialogue, slowly but surely changes with the addition of new drama. The three women's different feelings of sorrow, tenderness, and strength are deeply connected to the protagonist and flow together in a single emotion. The power of the image of a man running from his friends to the personal terrorism of a "powerful man" near the end of the film overlaps the space between the two disparate characters and makes the film more than a drama. The power of the images that run from the comrades to the personal terrorism of a "powerful" person near the end overlaps all the different spaces between them and shows us more than the development of the drama.
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.
