A touching romantic drama about the love and friendship between a man and a woman who have been in a "more than friends, but less than lovers" relationship for 10 years. A touching love story about love and friendship over a period of ten years. Aozora (Misako Tanaka), an office worker at a foreign-affiliated company, loves her friend's boyfriend, Masakazu (Chisato Oe), and wants to confess her love to him, but she can't betray her friend, so she tries to make up for it with a mistress who looks exactly like him. When Aozora meets Arashi (Hamada Masatoshi) by chance, she sympathizes with his honest way of life and begins to reevaluate her own way of life.
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.
