Euis, a beautiful village flower girl, was forced to follow Mang Emon and his wife Jujuk, illegally to Muangthai. When they arrived there, Euis and the other girls were only used as entertainers. They were powerless to fight Mang Emon and his cruel thugs. Euis' desire to escape was still burning. She started saving as provisions. Euis then got acquainted with Ario, a Javanese young man who worked there. The two fell in love. Ario intended to help Euis get out of the valley of hell. At one point Euis' savings had been collected, but were stolen by Mang Emon's men. After Mang Emon's death, Jujuk intended to sell his brothel. The sale of the brothel became a fight among them. This commotion was an opportunity for Ario to arrange an escape. Finally they managed to escape, returned to Indonesia and then they set up a convection business.
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.
