Ayaka (Masami Ichikawa) is a full-time housewife in her fifth year of marriage. Her husband, Shingo, was busy working at a publishing company and lived a rustic life and a sexless couple life. At one point, Shingo's women's magazine featured "Open Marriage," a new marriage style for married couples. "Open marriage", which was advocated in the 1970s, was that if there was mutual agreement, we could freely have a relationship with other opposite sex. Shingo, who was requested by the editor-in-chief for an experience report, managed to persuade Ayaka ... After that, the two who found each other's sexual partners, with the excitement born from jealousy, disappeared from sexlessness and began to demand each other's bodies violently.
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.
