Wang Hu, a poor student in a high school in Northeast China, is a typical learning difficulties, its mischievous character, nosy style, to his father who opened a bath centre has caused a lot of trouble. On the advice of his friends, Wang's father decides to send Wang Hu to study in Macau, far from his hometown, in an attempt to take him completely out of his comfort zone, and gives him an ultimatum: if he causes any more trouble in the future, he will stop his financial support and sever the father-son relationship. In the extreme contrast brought about by the geographical and cultural differences between the north and the south, he and Zhang Wenfeng, who is known as "the strongest man", get to know each other without a fight, and gain friendship and growth through the hot-blooded confrontations and collaborations that continue to rise from one wave to the next.
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.
