Ryan (Ari Wibowo), a young playboy, makes a bet with his friend, Agus (Tio Pakusadewo), that he can win over the affections of Santi (Sophia Latjuba), whom he has just met at a discotheque. As it turns out, Santi is no easy target and Ryan must go out of his way to prove that he is sincere. Ryan’s father does not approve of their relationship and tries to break them up by offering Santi money to go away. This enrages Santi’s father because there is a long standing feud between the two men. Finally, Ryan and Santi tire of the conflict and elope to a small village where they begin a life together. The fathers continue to blame each other until they finally come to their senses and go in search of Ryan and Santi. The two men find their children dead in pools of blood; the victims of criminals.
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.
