The story takes place in Macao as the gambling industry just starts to bloom again in the city. Two brothers who could no longer endure poverty decide to go to Macau to make a quick buck. Yang (played by Winslow Chan) hates his job as betting agent because he needs to collect debts or engage in immoral behaviour. Not until he encounters Carmen (played by Kate Leong) does Yang’s life change. As they start to know each other better, Yang suddenly needs to take on the huge debt of his brother Fong (played by Leo Chu). The only solution is to run. Yang and Carmen start to realize the distance between them, and that they inhabit entirely different worlds, although both physically live in Macao. A few years later, on a quiet afternoon, Yang tells his mother about the Macao story, hoping to find some traces of her in his memories...
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.
