Blues brothers. Revisited the BB for the benefit of our 12 years old. He laughed so much he had cramps and has been quoting the movie ever since. Well i have to admit i was also laughing out loud during this crazy flic. This movie has aged very well and is still as funny as 30 years ago.
One has to admit that this is an all time classic in it's genre. Above all the movie was game changing for the rhytm and blues music scene overall. Today we can see the positive impact of the efforts to promote blues by Dan Ackroyd.
John Landis had a pretty good hand at movies in the 80s with a string of strong movies including: Animal House, BB, An american werwolf in London, Trading places, 3 amigos, Spies like us and Coming to America. Lets just say that his success was less obvious in the 90s.
For BB he had one of the best cast ever put together which included actors such as Dan Ackroyd, James Belushi and Carrie Fisher (yes princess Leia) but a slew of musiciens such as Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Callaway, James brown and many others. Just incredible when looking back at it and memorable now that many of these greats are no longer with us.
This story is about two low level scum dressed in suit for good looks and on a mission for god to save the orphanage where they were raised. They are pusued by the cops, the army, the swats, the MPs, red neck cowboys, Illinois Nazies, a crazy ex girlfriend and are armed only with good charma and a police pack 70s huge car. In the process they destroy a whole shopping center, a Nazi parade and dozens and dozens of police cruisers. Loads of fun! You never tire of seeing this movie. And the music is great off course. Landis would have like people to see this movie as a music hall which is not far from the truth.
Nous avons regarde les Blues Brothers pour voir si la nouvelle generation etait prete a apprecie ce grand classique de la comedie. Et bien le resultat fut genial. je ne conseille pas de voir ce film en version traduote cependant. SUper acteurs: Ackroyd, Belushi et Carrie Fisher (princesse Leia) ainsi wue plusieurs musiciens Rhytm and Blues tel Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Cab Callaway, James brown et plusieurs autres. Pendant le film vous verrez la destruction d'un centre d'achat au complet ainsi que de centaines de voitures de polices. Ce classique ne se demode pas et la nouvelle generation va s'en rappeler longtemps.
Great quotes:
Elwood: Illinois Nazis. Jake: I hate Illinois Nazis.
Jake: First you traded the Cadillac in for a microphone. Then you lied to me about the band. And now you're gonna put me right back in the joint! Elwood: They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.
Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here? Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got country *and* western
Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Jake: Hit it.
