《Love Is Not a Sin》is a genuine Macanese film made by a local director Chan Kin Tak. The film is an exuberantly bizarre tale about two teenage girls who have so such affections to each other. However, a hidden camera finally destroys their fancy as the recorded contents unveil a possible truth that one of them is probably a male. The director has skillfully shown a dramatic shift of mood through the use of his cameras, from an atmosphere of exuberant teenage joy to a lost in one’s own sentiments. He has also blended several elements into his plot, such as the innocence of youth, some soap materials and a sense of horror. This definitely wakes up the sensations of its audience. And a mysterious male voice narration throughout the film always keeps people puzzled about the truth.
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.
