BTS Bring The Soul

We all know BTS as the global phenom that they are....But what goes on behind all those glitz and stage?...a good docu-movie to get to know about the lads...this movie seems a little bit more personal than the previous....the boys let you in on their inner thoughts, concerns, their work...watching how hard they work at their craft is simply inspiring....if you are just getting to know BTS or simply love BTS, this movie is a good go-to....

Which is rare for someone who are called "global superstars," etc. For fans of BTS, I'll say this is more along the lines of Burn the Stage than an actual concert film-and heaps more dramatic than a variety show like Run BTS. It's yet another candid look at the process of the tour, and does a great job in challenging its audience to see the contrast offstage-from seldom sleep to dreaded health issues to ever-present insecurity and ultimately, the concern for performing the best they can. It's hard not to see how humble these men are across their wide array of content, and this film documents further examples of that humility and humanity. To say BTS has worked hard to get to where they are is a bit of an unfinished statement; their work is ongoing, regardless of what they achieve. It is simply hardwired into who they are as people and performers. But not just technical work; they strive to be good people, to be worthy of their success and their following. They strive to do what they can to return that to those who helped get them there with every opportunity-regardless of how they may be feeling, of what they've been struggling with. This film intimately shows their determined mindset, as well as an attitude that earns respect.

Good behind-the-scenes film even if you're not a fan of the globe's most endearing boy band. If you are a fan, add another star. Tae-Hyung and Hobi shine. I'd sell my house for a seat at their next end-of-tour Parisian dinner. Stay after the credits or you'll miss much charming YouTube-style derping. The movie of the 2019 tour can't be far off.

First I have to say, the screaming that went on in the cinema was definitely a part of my experience with the movie as a whole. Even though I am a fan, I could not concentrate over the "ooh"'s and "ahh"'s and the screaming going on every 2 minutes.

Apart from the teenage disturbance in the front, I actually enjoyed some parts of the movie, but I also found some parts rather boring. And the aesthetic was unbalanced, and I had a hard time finding out if the movie was meant to be a concert movie or a backstage/documentary movie. They didn't bring us behind the curtains for real. I felt like I was watching a lot of "fancy" Bangtan Bombs put together. And unfortunately, I didn't feel that the (very) short deep moments from RM could save the documentary as a whole.

The music and the members personalities still shine through to some extent, and I loved the clips from their dinner in Paris, even though I felt it was edited very quickly, which didn't let me linger in the emotions that I felt was intended.

Maybe I expected too much?

I'm a long time fan of BTS so my review might be biased but this is a great concert film that shows its audience the different sides of BTS when they're on tour. I appreciate their energy during their concerts but my favourite part about this is the quietness and the relative normalness that they experience during tours. I loved the quiet moments because they're rarely something that we, as fans, get to witness. They're always trying to show us their best selves, so it took a lot of courage for them to show us times where they're weak or vulnerable. I'm always proud of them and this film only strengthens that sentiment. They work hard and they get tired or sick or hurt and they feel guilty about it, when all we want is to see them. I kept thinking that it didn't matter that their performances weren't perfect because most of us don't really see those imperfections. But these incredible men are so passionate and hardworking that you can't help but feel that through the screen as they push themselves even harder to give fans the best concert experience. They're so wonderful and I hope they'll continue climbing.
