One Direction: This Is Us [DVD] [2013]

My daughter said it was brilliant to watch but also sad at the same time, o believe she was talking about Liam

Great dvd

One Direction are one of the worlds biggest groups, and this DVD is a great way to get an insight into the group and what they are all about. Whether you like X-Factor or not the fact that is managed to produce a group like One Direction that has taken the world by storm says something, this DVD follows them in a nice down to earth way. It features lots of clips of the boys together with some of there best songs, its about telling their story, in their words. You have interviews and chats with all the boys but in an informal way, its the story of their early career without being a story, it just flows and tells you about them in a way that makes lots of sense. It shows you pre and post x-factor, together with what it is like to put on a tour, the hard work, shows you how its not all about fun and games, but to be honest, they love it and you can see why. The film is apparently non scripted, and cameras just followed the boys around, watching the movie I can believe that is true, it doesn't follow the normal concept of a film about a group, it just seems very natural and very fun. You can see the strain of doing concerts but you can also see how they support each other through the more difficult times and the fun times. Scenes shown in trailers include footage of fans telling stories related to the band following a request posted on YouTube, as well as a comment from Simon Cowell, who was their mentor on The X Factor and is also a producer of the film as well as Morgan Spurlock. This DVD includes a lot of additional extras not including in the original cinema release, so if you have seen this at the cinema you will see more songs and more insight in this than you did watching it at the cinema. Although Zayn has now departed them, when watching this film you will see that they all seemed happy working and singing together and no evidence of the right that currently exists between the boys and Zayn. Whether you love One Direction or not, this movie is a great way to get a personal insight into such a well known group. Maybe it might even change your impressions if you are 1D haters. A lot of the film is dedicated to the boys and their antics, after all they are all young its to be expected. That just gives them a little charm that you often don't see just from a music video. Well not true, most of their early videos are just all about fun, although later are more professional.

One direction blue ray my girlfriend is very pleased with it she likes it she is a massive One direction fan thank you.

Took my daughter and a few friends to see this film (in Italy), I expected that I would enjoy it as well and I was glad they left the film in English and added Italian subtitles. From the first minute until the end, I have to admit I got entirely caught up in the excitement and music. The film took off like a jet and it was a truly FUN ride the whole way. As a mom, it was touching to see how the boys' parents were dealing with their instant success and how the boys were dealing with all the sudden fame and leaving home to start their new careers together. I really enjoyed that they integrated concert performances of their most popular songs throughout the film and especially enjoyed seeing a more personal side of each of the boys. They are a group of funny, charming, young men who I hope continue on the same path as they move forward. Don't hesitate on this one... it makes for a GREAT movie night at home... break out the popcorn and enjoy!!! (p.s. consider the source when reading any negative comments. If you are a fan of the group, or the parent of a fan, it's pure JOY, truly).

I bought this DVD for my granddaughter as she is a One Direction fan, we watched id in 3D. I was very surprised how interesting it was to watch these young boys develop in their careers. We normally only get to see bands once they are famous , this DVD shows that these lads are the typical young lads and all have a very caring side to them that respect their fans. We liked that it showed there X Factor experience and the journey of fame. My granddaughter felt that it would have been nice to have a little more music in it but all in all a very well put together DVD. We have given it four stars only because 'and not taking anything away from the lads', the 3D wasn't amazing it was just as good in blue ray, having said that - we would definitely recommend it.

Very happy with purchase

Daughter apparently liked the band.. She's happy, so worth it

Sehr gute Qualität nei bild,ton und Material der dvd und sehr interessant da man Backstage Abschnitte hat

Pour un peu plus de 10€ en version DVD, ma fille était ravie. C'est un très beau cadeau pour les fans.

This Is Us è una sorpresa davvero piacevole se sei fan degli One Direction o semplicemente ti piace il pop e le storie dietro le quinte di una band di successo. Il film riesce a unire musica, performance live e momenti più personali dei ragazzi in un modo che ti fa sentire davvero più “vicino” a loro, non solo come artista ma anche come persone. La cosa che mi è piaciuta di più è il mix tra concerti energetici e scene che mostrano la loro vita lontano dal palco: si vedono le prove, i momenti di trepidazione prima di salire sul palco e le interazioni tra i membri della band. Questo dà una dimensione umana alla loro fama, rendendo il tutto molto coinvolgente anche per chi non è fan da sempre. Le performance sono entusiasmanti e ben montate, con una qualità audio che ti fa quasi sentire di essere lì davanti al palco. La narrazione è semplice ma efficace: non è solo un concerto filmato, ma una piccola storia di crescita, lavoro di squadra e sogni realizzati.

Leuk!

Fantastico
