Princess Sheng Tao Tao of the Sheng Xuan Kingdom is an upright and kind-hearted individual. However, her rebellious behavior causes the emperor considerable headaches, leading to her banishment to her fiefdom, Qingcheng, for self-reflection. Once a rich and fertile region known for its garment-making culture, Qingcheng has seen its skilled artisans dwindle as the young leave for work, leaving only the elderly and children behind. With a natural love for beauty, Sheng Tao Tao witnesses the unique dressmaking skills of the elderly and resolves to promote them. Her efforts lead to a court order on elder care, introducing innovative practices that honor and support the elderly. By fostering a culture of respect and filial piety, and creating work opportunities for older artisans, she stimulates their craftsmanship, resulting in exquisite garments. This revival reactivates Qingcheng's economy, attracting young workers back and restoring prosperity to the region.
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.
