I keep thinking about how deeply weird the existence of the Blues Brothers is. Two comedians start a semi-joke band on SNL that’s mostly an excuse to feel like legit musicians, then they end up opening for the Grateful Dead and record an album that goes platinum. Then Dan Aykroyd, that wonderful weirdo, writes this whole bible of mythology for their joke music personas and they make a blockbuster movie featuring Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and Carrie Fisher with a bazooka, and it’s both total nonsense and genuinely amazing. None of this makes sense. I love it.

This film is a rare breed as it simply transcends genre tropes and rules and thus creates a unique action comedy musical. And my love for it knows no bounds.
Every time I see this film I am a bit sad that Belushi did not give himself the chance to fulfil his great potential. It is clear, especially in this film, that he has a unique comedy touch and a rare musical talent. Matched to the unwavering and very reliable Aykroyd and directed with the genius' touch of Landis, this was always going to be a match made in heaven.
The humour is off beat and so wonderfully quirky it just doesn't get old. The action is ludicrously funny and…

You'd think the deadpan slapstick + 80s action excess + musical combo would get tired after a while but it really doesn't. Totally on its own wavelength. Cocaine is a helluva drug. Anyway, pretty cool how nearly 40 years later including a scene where your heroes break up a Nazi rally by driving through it would probably be considered controversial. The cop grunting bit is an all-timer.

probably the best way to say fuck the police, fuck capitalism, fuck nazis, fuck racists and also just the best film ever in general, i am currently cured of all sadness
rip john belushi <3

“What kind of music do you usually have here?
“Oh we got both kinds, we got Country and Western!” -
Got to introduce my father-in-law to this movie; somehow he'd missed it all these years despite his love of cars and reckless car stunts. It went over very well--except for the parts where I was driving him crazy by quoting the dialogue along with the movie. He laughed hardest at the Nazis' car soaring past Sears Tower. That's my favorite part too.
