Middle-aged Ma Zhongqi is the production manager of an advertising agency. He has separated from his hair-dresser wife, Jian Jia, and the two are planning to end their marriage of more than a decade. Jian Jia meets a strange boy who wears a wig, but wants to ask Jian Jia to do his hair. At first, Jian Jia thought he was playing a joke, but without hesitation, refused. The boy waited for her until she got off work; he told her that he had seen her in a magazine. Jian Jia saw that he had something [unspeakable?]. Jian Jia later learns that the boy is terminally ill, and he wants to ask Jian Jia to do his hair specifically for him because he wants to have good-looking hair and take an engagement photo with the girl he loves.
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.
