A story of two couples that begins in a watch shop. Ishikawa, a cook, and Iwamoto, a waitress, work in a spaghetti house. During a break on an empty embankment, the two have a rather absent-minded conversation. Iwamoto, is there anything you want? 'Well, a hoover...' Meanwhile, Shinichi and Chika are about to rob a bank. Shinichi and Chika are about to rob a bank, and they take a Polaroid photo of themselves for what might be the last time. Chika is worried: "Will I be able to take a bath every day in prison? Their stories proceed in parallel, as they spend the same time in different places. The only thing they have in common is that they both give watches as gifts. The only thing they have in common is that they both give a watch as a gift, a gift that both couples will never forget. One is soft pastel, the other a harsh primary colour. The artist's sensitivity in choosing the colours to suit the story conveys the pure emotions of the lovers of the 1990s in a warm atmosphere.
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.
