The Blues Brothers Genre: Comedy-Musical Setting: 1980 in Chicago, Illinois Stars: The main stars are John Belushi as Jake and Dan Aykroyd as Elwood Blues. Also famous actors in this movie were: Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Steven Spielberg, Ray Charles and many others. Filmmaking: The Movie was produced in the summer 1979 in Chicago and surroundings. This movie is also famous for the lot car crashes, over 60 police cars were bought for each 400$, and most of them were destroyed during filming the movie. Plot: All begins after Elwood’s brother Jake was released of the jail, his first thought was: why is my brother meeting me with a police car? That was not enough, he also told him that he changed there old car for a microphone and bought this police car in an auction. Forceful, they went after Jake’s release to the child’s’ house were they grow up. Surprised they expert that the house is out of money and the church has no interest to save the building. After a religious vision, they decide to put the band back together, to can earn money with concerts. On there way to put the band together they make a lot of enemies, and even more after they finished it. Angry Nazis, a country band, a mysterious woman, the whole police of Chicago and even the army want there death. I recommend this movie to everybody who likes funny musicals or just want to see action in form of destruction. Jake and Elwood, the men in black, are also two very smart guys which like to make jokes but not in the way that it makes them stupid. I’m sad that you can’t see movies like that today. Of course the movie is old but its also timeless. That movie full of stars became a star by itself. -by Val a.k.a. cl0wnzee

Yes, it's funny, yes, there's strong language, but underlying message is profound - the people we least expect to make a contribution to society often do exactly that. Jake and Elwood had all the cards stacked against them - orphans, wrong side of the tracks, time in prison (on a Robin Hood-type mission, as is revealed later in the film), and the Penguin telling them not to come back until they've "redeemed themselves." Yet Jake and Elwood are determined to help her raise the tax money, regardless of what the consequences are to themselves. It cost them their freedom, but they were willing to do it for her and the orphanage - talk about selfless! Swearing, drinking, bad driving (and not wearing seatbelts) aside, they serve as good role models for my kids. I could take some cues from them myself.
