Post 10: This Is Us (1-7-14)

Over the break I watched "This Is Us" for the second time. Ever since the movie came out I found a whole bunch of deleted scenes and things that they did not put in the movie (although some were to be included in the special features and extended edition of the movie). Watching all of these deleted scenes made me kind of upset, mainly because I loved the deleted scenes so much. The deleted scenes were a whole lot more of the boys going back home, interacting with family members, and talking about each other. There was on scene that ended up being a special feature on the DVD where the boys all talked about each other and described their band mates. That was probably my favorite scene because we really got to see the connection the boys have with each other and we even found out that Liam and Louis did not get along at first.

A lot of the movie was concert footage, and while I like this I would have rather had more of the personal scenes than concert footage. Even though not all Directioners have been lucky enough to see One Direction in concert, every Directioner has seen One Direction perform on television. While seeing One Direction performing is great, and probably one of my favorite things about them are their stage presences, I really enjoyed the personal scenes at home and would have loved to see more.

With the personal scenes we got to see Zayn buy his mom a house, Louis visit his old school, Niall be the best man in his brother's wedding, Harry and the place where he had his first kiss (it was up against a tree), and Liam with the cardboard cutout of himself his mom keeps in the house. This was a side of the boys I loved, and while I loved the movie, I wish it would've had more parts like this.
