NABASA namin ang magkasunod na tweet nina Ryan Cayabyab at Lea Salonga tungkol sa Larawan.
Unang tweet ni Ryan: “So... we lost out in Trinoma. Our film Larawan will be replaced tomorrow (Wednesday, Dec. 27).
Hope we get a return engagement. Thanks very much to those who supported the film today!!! People who watched today were profuse in praise.
ALAMIN: Mga inisyatibo ng NCCA sa pagpapakilala ng kultura ng mga katutubo
Salamat muli! Try catching it in other cinemas.”
Sinundan ‘yun ng isa pang tweet: “Try catching it where is still showing. It will suffer the same fate if people don’t watch as soon as they can. I still have my fingers crossed. am hopeful!”
Tweet naman ni Lea: “So, why is #Larawan not showing in more theatres? Isn’t this a film festival? Sigh.
Nakakalungkot naman. Hindi nakakagulat, which makes it even more sad.”
Pambawi sa lungkot nina Ryan at Lea ang post ni Rachel Alejandro sa Instagram tungkol sa pinagbibidahan niyang Larawan. Dahil mahaba, ang first part lang an gaming isinulat.
“For 2 days na, I’ve not gotten tired reading comment after comment, rave after rave review for Ang Larawan by those who have gone to see it in the theatres, my heart overflows with gratitude. THANK YOU!
We always knew we were up against the giants. Some have even said our film is only for the cultured, the educated, the older set, etc. ‘Hindi yan pangmasa,’ I was told again and again. And yet, I’m pleasantly surprised that this film is touching audiences of all ages and walks of life. In many theatres all over the country, people burst into applause at the end.”
Ngayong nanalo as Best Picture, sana nga, bigyan ng chance ng moviegoers ang Ang Larawan, panoorin para makapag-produce pa ang mga producer ng isa pang magandang pelikula kagaya ng Ang Larawan.
