A poignant story that deftly balances levity and gravity, Bay Ngot Ngao (Naked Truth) revolves around four childhood friends once madly determined to escape singledom. After years apart, they gleefully reunite to celebrate the 3-year marriage anniversary of the lone successor of the group to find marital bliss. Their reunion takes a shocking turn when, layer by layer, concealed lives are revealed, trapping each character in a tangled web of dangerous secrets that threaten to push precarious relationships over the edge. Bay Ngot Ngao (Naked Truth) is about the strength of lifelong friendships, the hidden darkness of domestic abuse, and the power of personal liberation. Directed by Dinh Ha Uyen Thu. Produced by Live On. US release by 3388 Films.
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.
