Yau Tat and Yip Fai Ting became high school friends due to a cycling competition, but lost contact with each other after Yip Fai Ting had to return to Taiwan for family reasons. Years later, they meet again at an accounting firm. Yau Tat's boss, Ling Hei, likes to play office politics and often drives a wedge between colleagues. It causes a grudge between Yau Tat and Yip Fai Ting. Fortunately, the secretary Wu Sam Lam is very considerate and encouraging towards Yau Tat. His mother, Yau Wing Ci wants to make them a couple, but Yau Tat does not want to start a relationship because of his family burdens. This is until he meets Yeung Gwong, who happens to be Yip Fai Ting's childhood friend and a fellow accountant. However, Yau Tat is hesitant to move forward because of Yip Fai Ting's feelings for Yeung Gwong. In addition, dealing with the office politics on a daily basis makes them lose sight of their goals in life. Finally, Yau Tat and Yip Fai Ting decide to put aside everything and return to the cycling track to rediscover their fighting spirit and friendship.
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.
