Women are recruited and trained to join a PLA Special Operations unit. The story is about a group of women joining a special task force unit. In the end, only eight will be chosen and these eight go on to become professional agents. The 21st century is an era in which talents and high technologies dominate the war. The highest ranks in the Chinese army decided to recruit extraordinary females to join a special task force. Tsinghua’s skilled science student – Ye Cun Xin, the army’s taekwondo senior – Shen Lan Ni, medical officer – He Lu, new army recruit – A Zhuo, actress – Tang Xiao Xiao, anti-chemical troupe soldier – Bing Tian Guo, major commanders – Ou Yang Qian and Tan Xiao Lin, are eight women from different positions with different visions who are united by a common objective. They undergo ruthless trainings and finally emerge as “Phoenix Nirvana.” (Source: chinesedrama.info)
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.
