The four main characters grew up in different environments. They meet "competitive bartending" and with their own thoughts and feelings, they try to win the Flare competition. They aim to win the Flair competition with their own feelings... In order to learn more about his father, who left home when he was a child, Eito Kurosawa decides to start working at his father's favorite bar. Touya Natsume, who was desperate because everything he did was not going well. Seiichiro, who was forced to abandon the competition one year ago before the Flare finals, just one step away from winning. And Arata, last year's Flare champion and unbeatable. The fates of these four men intersect through "Flare" - the story of overcoming their "past" and aiming to win the Flare Japan Cup with their friends. What is the reason why they have to "win"?
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.
