To say that I was thoroughly disappointed might be too harsh, but still. Well, to start, I have never watched a Les Misérables trailer until a few days ago. Or two, I may or may not have gotten a very clear copy of a DVD screener floating around the Internet even before the film showed in the country. One, I may or may not have had my phone out while watching the movie in the cinema and was tweeting away during the whole thing.
So how did I manage to livetweet the movie? Well, there are two options. This resulted in countless Filipinos scouring the Internet for good copies of the movie, which may or may not be something I condone. This meant that a lot of local Les Mis fans were writhing in agony for almost a month while their counterparts abroad got to enjoy the movie musical. So Les Misérables, which should have screened in the country on the 25th of December, did not show until the 16th of January. This is a good idea, since it helps revitalize the ailing Filipino movie business, but that also means that a lot of Hollywood films get pushed back to make way for these local productions. This means that every year there are two weeks dedicated solely to local films.
The Philippines, as some of you may know, has an annual film fest designed to showcase the works of the local movie industry.
