Parsing static json file and save values to Django Database/model - json

Question

I have json file in my static folder in my django project. And I want to save the data from json file to my Django Database.
This is my model.py
from django.db import models
class Coming_Soon(models.Model):
movie_id = models.CharField(primary_key=True, max_length=11)
movie_title = models.TextField(blank=True, max_length=100)
image_url = models.TextField(blank=True)
synopsis = models.TextField(blank=True)
rating = models.TextField(default="MTRCB rating not yet available")
cast = models.TextField(blank=True)
release_date = models.TextField()
this is sample of my json file
{
"results": [
{
"rating": "PG",
"cast": [
"Jeremy Ray Taylor",
"Gerard Butler",
"Abbie Cornish"
],
"synopsis": "some synopsis",
"movie_title": "(3D/4DX) GEOSTORM",
"image_url": "some url",
"id": "8595"
},
{
"rating": "PG",
"cast": [
"Jeremy Ray Taylor",
"Gerard Butler",
"Abbie Cornish"
],
"synopsis": "some synopsis",
"movie_title": "(ATMOS) GEOSTORM",
"image_url": "some url",
"id": "8604"
}
]
}
what should I write on my view so that I can save those data into my django database? This is my views.py:
def polls(request):
ROOT_FILE = STATIC_ROOT + '/polls/coming_soon.json'
json_data = open(ROOT_FILE)
json_load = json.load(json_data)
with open(ROOT_FILE, 'r') as data:
parsed_json = json.load(data)
for result in parsed_json['results']:
# HOW CAN I SAVE DATA INTO DATABASE??
I really don't have any idea about getting those file into my database. Thank you.

You can create obj like this
from .models import Coming_Soon
def polls(request):
ROOT_FILE = STATIC_ROOT + '/polls/coming_soon.json'
json_data = open(ROOT_FILE)
json_load = json.load(json_data)
with open(ROOT_FILE, 'r') as data:
parsed_json = json.load(data)
for result in parsed_json['results']:
Coming_Soon.objects.create(
movie_id = result['id'],
movie_title = result['movie_title'],
image_url=result['image_url'],
synopsis = result['synopsis'],
)
