A man drives away from home waiting for that moment to opt for suicide. On the verge of insanity, he discovers a strange travel companion.
Marcos is an architect, an average, middle class family guy who is facing a middle age crisis. He falls into despair after losing unfairly against mega lawyers, felling crashed by the very same system that he had faith in and he had treated with integrity and honesty all of his life. But now, seems to have betrayed him, thus coming to the undoubtedly conclusion he tried not to believe all of his life, that the system can only be fair to money and capital. Driven by insanity, he has decided to abandon his wife and children and drives forever; seeking the courage he needs to put a gun in his head thus leaving a fortune to his beloved family with his Life Insurance Policy. Thus proving that fraud is the only way to success in a world controlled by Corporations and Wealth instead of Laws and Integrity. Desperate for answers, angry at the world, he nervously awaits for that moment to find the courage to opt for death as he continues driving to nowhere...On the dark, winding road to suicide and on the verge of insanity, he sees a stowaway in his car, an eerie little girl - on a different kind of journey.
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.
