תמיכת The Movie Database

I recently ran into this problem in which the adult tag is useless as it is only applied to pornographic movies.

When creating the listing for Porco Rosso, this movie is returned as similar: Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/5336-sal-o-le-120-giornate-di-sodoma

Go take a look at the plot keywords:

  • italy
  • katholizismus
  • folter
  • rape
  • fascism
  • bishop
  • fascist
  • sadism
  • full frontal nudity
  • sexual torture
  • libertine
  • coprophilia
  • scat
  • erotismo
  • erotic 70s

It is pretty obvious that this movie should not be listed anywhere new a Studio Ghibli Miyazaki classic which is a family movie about a flying pig pilot.

So the only way to actually handle this problem is to grab the similar movies, then call the plot keywords for each one and manually scan through each movie. This is extremely inefficient as you would either delay the display of the list by at least one second per movie, add wasted calls etc.

So, if I am missing some information on how the API works could you please let me know as what I am currently working with seems to have a massive oversight.

Thanks, Chris.

Hi Chris,

So there's a few kind of larger things at work here, first is that this is one of the reasons I changed the "similar" movies on the website over to a new feature we have called recommendations. I realize this doesn't help you (yet) as recommendations are not currently available on the API but know that I am aware of some of the results you can get when only looking at plot keywords.

With regards to how to deal with this right now, there probably isn't an easy way. Here's the ticket to add recommendations to the API, with it live you could switch to it and be a lot more sure of the results.

I don't think this is an "oversight" as much as it is just validation that looking for similar movies based on solely keywords can offer up some undesirable results ;)

Oh I did not even realize there was such thing as "recommended" and it was different to "similar". My app has it's own recommendation engine which tracks all your movies and uses a combination of the "discover" function, and the "similar" movies to cross reference and provide pretty nice recommendations.

The oversight I was talking about was the adult tag only applying to pornographic films. There isn't a rating system that I am aware of where we could simply give the movie an R etc which could easily be hidden from results with.

Thanks for your reply, I'll watch this feature and hopefully get to use it soon :D

Hi @ckomodromos, this is now live for both movies and TV shows.

Docs are located here and here.

Cheers.
