In the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the world was peaceful and prosperous with favorable weather. Although the court focused on civil governance over military affairs, numerous heroes emerged among the common folk, creating legendary tales that would be remembered for generations. The prefect of Kaifeng, Bao Zheng (played by Ding XiaoQiu), was an upright and honest official, admired by both the emperor and prime minister, and supported by the common people and even heroes of the Jianghu. His righteousness became a lasting influence in the world. This series is adapted from the Chinese classical novel "The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants."
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.
