What can be said about the John Denver Trending (2019) official movie trailer for Cinemalaya 2019? Well, the trailer is short but meaty. It short teaser establishes what this film is going to be all about; of the possible destructive psychological and emotional damage that cyberbullying can do to an individual. With the film's synopsis and this evocative trailer, it makes you think twice about riding that next big social media bandwagon and to think before hitting that post button.

The synopsis reads that the kid was involved in some physical disagreement. Now, it would be pretty interesting in what direction will the film take this premise. Will it take the safe approach and make the kid into this "pure" victim of circumstances and was simply framed? Or will the film show that the kid is actually not as good as he is portrayed and probably "deserved" what was coming to him and if he did deserve it, does it justify how people react and become the bully themselves to this boy. With these ideas in mind, it makes you curious about what's what? This is what I love with trailers being actual trailers; just enough to tease and make one wonder. Hopefully, it doesn't get too preachy and would make moviegoers reflect on the incredible power (and destructive power) of social media.
