Taku, a boy who remembers everything he sees, keeps his head down to avoid mental overload. Only music offers him relief, so he often hums to clear his mind. His classmates Mick and Yoji join in with raps and harmonies, forming a playful trio. One day, they’re confronted by a gang led by the feared Ganaha Ryu. Just as things escalate, Taku’s father and his twin brother appear—and inexplicably, a rap battle begins. Ganaha Rui, Ryu’s younger brother, outshines everyone, and Taku’s attempt is mocked, sparking a chaotic brawl. Mick fights fiercely, but the group is outnumbered. Then Taku sings. His voice, pure and unexpected, stops the fight and moves the crowd to tears. The gang stands down, and Ryu acknowledges them. Through his song, Taku turns conflict into connection, gaining new allies and discovering the power of his voice.
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.
