You see The Blues Brothers is a movie that is energetic and ferocious in a way that makes... disaster movies look like a very mild breakfast. I don't think that anyone has counted the number of police cars that are been destroyed in that film nor can he forget the house that is demolished like sugar falling on the ground. The Blues Brothers is wild, wild in the most visceral way. From the unstoppable, troubled sea-like music till the general uncompromising attitude of the movie, The Blues Brothers is a film that makes you really jump on your couch or get out of the house shouting or grab a guitar or any other instrument and start a band to save the world. Yes, that movie is really relentless. From Ray Charles to Aretha Franklyn and then to Cab Calloway, the musical journey that the film offers is uniquely exciting and memorably refreshing. Really there is nothing that can stop that profound momentum of this film. It's like you are pumping gas to a vehicle that is ready to touch the sky, with fire following it. You see the whole movie is dancing, it's dancing constantly, from minute one till the bitter end. And there is no pause for you to catch your breath, there is no salvation for you. Once you tune to The Blues Brothers, there is only one way out and that is through the door that writes "for lunatics" above it. (Watch out, because you are going to keep on dancing after the end of the movie. You will be like Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times. Watch out, the fever is going to get you. And it is so high, that is like touching a stone from a volcano.)
