Xiao Wen and Su Xi took an instant dislike to each other, but soon discovered they’re actually similar people in their bones, with similar fears. Xiao Wen's company hasn’t paid her salary for half a year. Her father has found a new partner, Zhu Yun, just six months after her mother’s fatal car accident. Her mother had called her, which she ignored, causing her mother to go directly to her grandmother's house where she got into the accident. Su Xi is a highly- strung perfectionist. Her parents' divorce made her feel rejected by her mother, and pity for her father who had been the one abandoned. Su Xi has always endured the scumbag and pursued a perfect life attitude. The encounters between the two girls at this life intersection, progress from loathing to understanding, to finally supporting one another.
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.
