Pop musician Ding Yat-chun is often troubled by nightmares. He then gets embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, so he moves to a small village for the time being as he also wants to relax. Yat-chun unwittingly opens an old Cantonese opera costume trunk in the village house, releasing the ghost of opera diva Wan Lau-fong. In the 1990s, Lau-fong was a Cantonese opera diva, but she passed away due to some accident. Lau-fong has forgotten almost everything about her human life. And she only wants to track down her crush Kuk Hang-wan from yesteryear. Yat-chun agrees to help as he wants to assist Lau-fong in fulfilling her wish. While they get along, a human and a ghost support each other, and they gradually fall in love. However, someone finds out about Lau-fong's ghost. They are afraid of the truth behind her death being exposed, so they decide to cover up everything at all costs.
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.
