This Is Us

Last Friday night (no, I'm not trying to sing Katy Perry's song) I went to see This Is Us with a friend of mine, Puteri and her cousins and aunt AND I WAS SO HAPPY I COULDN'T CONTAIN MY HAPPINESS. 

The British teenage sensation consisting Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson has just released their new concert documentary film about their journey from zero to hero, from nobody to the most wanted guys by majority of young girls (maybe some adults too, who knows).

LET ME JUST SAY HOW HUGE FAN I AM OF THEM! HUGE! Ahahahahaha. But seriously, I have been loving One Direction since I saw their music video, What Makes You Beautiful, on YouTube. They are just so addictive you can't resist them. 

Once I knew that they were going to make documentary movie, I knew I had to watch them with my own eyes, in a theatre. The last time I went to the movie was The Dark Knight Rises so yeah it has been a pretty long time.

Anyway! This Is Us was amazing! Not just because I love the boy band themselves, but because I do think the movie was good! The visual effects that were used in the movie were marvellous especially on the effects during the members introduction and when each member were "transformed" into superheroes-ish.

They of course also include their songs and it made everything even better! I love almost all of their songs and I kept mouthing the whole lyrics when their songs were played and I tried my hardest not to sing out loud as if I'm in a concert even though most of the theatre's audience kept screaming and squealing, especially when Zayn Malik appeared out of nowhere.

I REALLY enjoyed seeing Harry Styles for 92 minutes I mean?????? He's such a perfection I think? I don't understand anything anymore. 

The movie started with One Direction's introduction when they were kids and how they have been loving the music and singing ever since. I remembered Zayn said, "When other boys were interested in football, I was more interested in creativity." Well, something like that. Applause to Zayn!

And it's just funny to know that Niall was kicked out pretty often when he was younger during Geography for singing Irish traditional songs. I find it really adorable. I mean, no cute guys at my school does that so............ yeah.

This Is Us definitely shows the world, well at least me, that they are not just another pretty faces who made it because of their faces. But they really worked hard for everything they've achieved. I can see how exhausted they were when they have to go from one place to another, fighting jet lags, just to please their fans (and earn money of course).

Talking about money, I also find it really sweet that Zayn bought his mother a 5 million pound sterling house. I mean, 5 MILLION? POUND STERLING? Seriously dude, this is pound sterling. Not dollars, not Korean Won, not Indonesian Rupiah. I felt like crying when I saw the part where his mother cried and well basically when all of the mothers cried since they missed their sons awfully. I understand you, mothers even though I'm not a mother yet.

Overall I do think this is a good movie. Maybe (well definitely) not the best movies I've ever seen (believe me I watch a lot movies since my brother is a huge fan and a movie critic) but it was definitely worth to watch, especially to all the directioners out there. For non-fans, they might find it rather cheesy but I do hope they at least appreciate One Direction's hard work and for the things they have done for their mothers/fathers/siblings/family. As in for Taylor Swift, I do hope you enjoy the movie :D

I'd like to give the movie perhaps 8 out of 10. 

Now One Direction can add Actors in their resumes. Am I right, boys?

This looks like a yes, don't you think?
