The Blues Brothers is hands down a great film. The movie tells the story of two brothers who discover the orphanage they grew up in is going to be closed if they can not secure $5000.00 to pay the property tax that has been assessed on the orphanage. The two brothers after speaking with their father figure, played by Cab Calloway, they come to the conclusion they are on a holy mission and what ever they do will be done with divine guidance. This movie is a musical and features some of the best Rhythm and Blues artists to have ever picked up instruments. Seeing these performances appeals to me because of my love of blues music. Some of the situations concocted in this movie are a bit far out, but it’s a comedy and because of that you can not watch this movie expecting some kind of serious movie. This film is just a good comedy that stands the test of time, and features great performances and music. Not to mention a great performance by John Belushi, clearly he died long before his time.
