  • Bluestransport Skapad: 2005-02-16 Redigerad: 2016-03-06
    Bluestransport Skapad: 2005-02-16 Redigerad: 2016-03-06 Filmen the Blues Brothers, fråm 1980, handlar om två bröder, Jake och Elwood Blues (spelade av John Belushi och Dan Aykroyd), som försöker samla ihop sitt gamla band för att att kunna få in pengar så att de kan rädda barnhemmet där de växte upp. De hamnar i en massa trubbel och ett visst fordon är nästan varje gång inblandat, Bluesmobilen, Blues Brothers bil. Blues Brothers i förgrunden och Bluesmobilen i bakgrunden. Bluesmobilen var en Dodge Monaco Sedan från 1974 som var målad svart och vit som en före detta polisbil. Denna model var vanlig som polisbil i USA under 1970-talet. I filmen säger Elwood: "I picked it up at the Mount Prospect City polisen auction last spring. It's an old Mount Prospect Police Car." Bilarna som användes i filmen var inte gamla bilar från Mount Prospect City Police, även om polisdistriktet existerar, för att Mt Prospects polisens bilar hade svarta säten, men Bluesmobilen hade ljusbruna säten. Ljusbruna säten är att föredra i varmare områden som till exempel Californien, de svarta sätena blev för varma. Dessutom finns det bilder med highway patrol-bilar Sida 1 av 5 från Californien som har vertikala stänger i fronten precis som Bluesmobilen. Förmodligen använde man i filmen gamla highway patrol-bilar från Californien. Polisutrustningen på Dodge Monaco inkluderade en 440 cui (7,2 liter) stor motor, som Elwood nämner i filmen när han beskriver bilen för Jake efter att ha hämtat honom från fängelset: "It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks, it was a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas." Elwood säger det inte, men självklart är det en V8, vad annars i en amerikansk "fullsizare"? Motorn har 270 hk och 500 Nm:s vridmoment.

  • The Blues Brothers È Ormai Entrato Di Diritto Nella Storia Del Cinema Come Una Delle Commedie Più Brillanti E Originali Di Sempre
    The Blues Brothers è ormai entrato di diritto nella storia del cinema come una delle commedie più brillanti e originali di sempre. Per come è stato realizzato potrebbe essere considerato un vero e proprio musical. Il budget del film fu di circa 30 milioni di dollari (probabilmente gran parte spesi per comprare automobili da distruggere sul set !!), e quando uscì nella sale nel 1980 non riscosse un grandissimo consenso specialmente da parte della critica. Ma come capita alle volte, sono il tempo e i fan a decretare il successo di una pellicola. Lo stesso avvenne ad esempio per il film “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. I due protagonisti del film sono Elwood Blues (interpretato da Dan Aykroyd) e Jake “Joliet” Blues (interpretato dal compianto John Belushi). Furono i due stessi attori ad inventare la coppia dei fratelli Blues, fin dai tempi del Saturday Night Live. Quest’ultimo era, ed è ancora, un notissimo show televisivo americano che ha sfornato tra i più importanti e famosi attori comici del panorama cinematografico mondiale. Basti pensare a nomi come Eddie Murphie, Jim Carrey, ecc. Ma torniamo al nostro cult movie. Il film venne distribuito dalla Universal Picture per la regia del geniale John Landis (più avanti nell’articolo potrete leggerne la biografia). La sceneggiatura del film "The Blues Brothers", venne scritta da John Landis insieme a Dan Aykroyd. Andiamo ora a rivivere la surreale trama del film “The Blues Brothers” del 1980. Il film è ambientato a Chicago. "Joliet" Jake Blues, dopo aver ricevuto i suoi averi dall'agente carcerario (Frank Oz), esce dalla prigione (la Joliet Prison) e viene affidato in custodia a suo fratello Elwood.

  • The Blues Brothers De John Landis Sortie Cinéma 18 Novembre 2015
    REVUE DE PRESSE THE BLUES BROTHERS DE JOHN LANDIS SORTIE CINÉMA 18 NOVEMBRE 2015 « Long métrage devenu culte, The Blues Brothers ressort en salle dans une splendide version restaurée » CHARLIE HEBDO « La comédie musicale culte de 1980 » 20 MINUTES « Film culte des années 1980 » OFFICIEL DES SPECTACLES « Un classique indémodable, avec un duo d’acteurs impayables » ENTRÉE LIBRE - France 5 « Le plus grand film de blues et de soul » JAZZ RADIO «Un esprit subversif, désinvolte, espiègle, parfois potache, porté par des performances comiques ou musicales de haute-voltige» DVD CLASSIK « Un pur bonheur cinéphilique ! » ÀVOIR-ÀLIRE par Nicolas Lochon (17/11/2015) The Blues Brothers : plus de 30 après, une référence : la critique d’un film culte ! Petit coup de blues ? De la réunion de deux potes passionnés par le rhythm and blues et ayant créé les personnages de Jake et Elwood Blues pour le Saturday Night Live de MTV, John Landis et son impressionnante liste d’acolytes vont tirer un film culte pour toute une génération, dépassant largement le statut de comédie musicale. L’argument : Dès sa sortie de prison, Jake Blues est emmené par son frère Elwood chez Soeur Mary Stigmata, qui dirige l’orphelinat dans lequel ils ont été élevés. Ils doivent réunir 5 000 dollars pour sauver l’établissement, sinon c’est l’expulsion. Notre avis : 1979, Spielberg réalise 1941 avec John Belushi. 1981, le réalisateur livre le premier Indiana Jones : nous sommes au paroxysme de la grande période des cinéastes du New Hollywood amorcée dans les années 60. Le début des 80’s est donc copieux d’emblématiques projets de metteurs en scène loin d’être oubliés de nos jours.

Belushi and Aykroyd, respectively in character as lead vocalist "Joliet" Jake Blues and harmonica player/vocalist Elwood Blues, fronted the band, which was composed of well-known and respected musicians. The band made its debut as the musical guest on the April 22, 1978, episode of Saturday Night Live. The band began to take on a life beyond the confines of the television screen, releasing an album, Briefcase Full of Blues, in 1978, and then having a Hollywood film, The Blues Brothers, created around its characters in 1980.
