The sitcom depicts a fictional street in Hong Kong and the inhabitants of two households in the same building. The "Chen Family" lives on the first floor, comprising the landlord, his wife, their eldest son & daughter-in-law, and their youngest son. The "Xu Family" are their tenants - the father, his daughter, and a pet bird. The show reflects various facets of life in the city, such as government allowances for seniors, subway gate regulations, stock trading, theft, beggars, gambling, and daily household chores. It portrays heartwarming moments that leave viewers with a smile.
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.
