Mentari is a 15-year-old tomboy girl who is smart and kind, but because she lives on the streets without her parents, she grows up to be stubborn and has no manners. Mentari was forced to steal and become a pickpocket to support her living. One day, Mentari hid in a car while trying to escape from security, without realizing it, she was seen by Tyo and Rika. They then adopted Mentari. One day, Tyo and Rika were in financial trouble. Accidentally, Mentari meets Aldi, who turns out to be her grandfather. When will Mentari realize that Aldi is her grandfather? What will Mentari's life be like next?
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.
