Многие, очень многие люди в этом мире не видели фильм Братья Блюз. Очень много народу даже не подозревает, что человек на моём юзерпике имеет какое-то отношение к этому фильму вообще. А звали его Джон Белуши. Брат того самого Джеймса Белуши, что сыграл в фильме "К9 Собачья работа". В 78-м году Джон и Дэн Экройд создали группу The Blues Brothers Band и начали выступать. Потом им предложили вести tv-шоу. А уже потом им предложили снять фильм. Так вот я хочу быть таким же как Джэйк Блюз. Он - мой герой. Хотелось бы продемонстрировать вам некоторые эпизоды из фильма + много много музыки из этого фильма и из фильма Blues Brothers 2000. Не надо благодарностей.

1. Для начала трейлер всего фильма. Посмотрите, это забавно
. Все известные песни и фразы в 4-х минутах</li>

2. одно из выступлений группы Blues Brothers. Это ещё до фильма.


3. Эпизод 1 в котором Джейк и Элвуд убегают от полиции, и громят торговый центр. Мне особенно нравится, что они совершенно безмятежны и на протяжении всего разгрома ведут беседу вроде: Ой, смотри тут теперь продают бургеры? Да, в этом молле много метса.


4. Эпизод 2 а это уже завершающий эпизод фильма. Джейк и Элвуд приехали платить деньги. Их машина разлетается на кусочки


5. Soul Food Cafe. Знаменитый эпизод когда Джейк и Элвуд пришли в кафе к Мэту и его жене которую играет Арета Франклин Шикарный диалог:

   [Jake and Elwood enter and sit at the counter.]
   
   Aretha:Help you boys?
   Elwood:You got any white bread?
   Aretha:Yes.
   Elwood: I'll have some toasted white bread please.
   Aretha: You want butter or jam on that toast honey?
   Elwood: No ma'am, dry.
   Jake: You got any fried chicken?
   Aretha: Best damn chicken in the state.
   Jake: Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.
   Aretha: You want chicken wings or chicken legs?
   Jake: Four fried chickens and a Coke.
   Elwood: And some dry white toast please.
   Aretha: You all want anything to drink with that?
   Elwood: No ma'am.
   Jake: A Coke.
   Aretha: Be up in a minute.
   
   [She goes back to the kitchen]
   
   Aretha: We got two honkies out there dressed like Hacedic Diamond merchants.
   Matt: Say what?
   Aretha: They look like they're from the CIA or something.
   Matt: What they want to eat?
   Aretha: The tall one wants white bread, toast, dry with nothing on it.
   Matt: Elwood!
   Aretha: And the other one wants four whole fried chickens and a Coke.
   Matt: And Jake! Shit, the Blues Brothers!
   
   [Matt goes out into the cafe]
   
   Matt: Hi Jake.
   Jake: Matt. How you doing?
   Matt: Hi Elwood. How ya doing? How was Joliet.
   Jake: Oh it was bad. Thursday night they'd serve a wicked pepper steak.
   Matt: Can't be as bad as the cabbage role at the Terra-Phelevo Penn.
   Elwood: Or that oatmeal at the Cook County slammer.
   Matt: Well they're all pretty bad.
   Jake: Matt, me and Elwood, we're putting the band back together. We need you and Blue Lou.
   Matt: Oh man. Don't talk that way round here. My old lady, she'll kill me.
   Elwood: Ma'am you gotta understand that this is a lot bigger than any domesticproblems you might be experiencing.
   Aretha: Matt, what the hell is he talking about?
   Matt: Don't get roused sugar.
   Aretha: Don't you "Don't get roused sugar" me! Now you not goingback on the road no more, and you ain't playing no more two bit sleazydives. You're living withme now, and you're not gonna go sliding around with you old whitehoodlum friends.
   Matt: But babe, this is Jake and Elwood. The Blues Brothers.
   Aretha: The Blues Brothers! Shit, they still owe you money, fool!
   Jake: Ma'am, would it make you feel any better if you knew that what we asking Matt here to do was a holy thing?
   Elwood: You see, we're on a mission from God.
   Aretha: Don't you blaspheme in here! Don't you blaspheme inhere! Now this is my man and my restaurant and you two are gonna justwalk right out that door, withoutya dry white toast, without ya four fried chickens and without Mattguitar Murphy.
   Matt: Now listen to me. I love you, but I'm the man and your the woman. And I'llmake the decisions concerning my life.
   Aretha: You better think about what you're saying. You better think about theconsequences of your actions.
   Matt: Oh shut up woman!
   



6. Знаменитый эпизод в Ray's Music Exchange. Я вообще считаю, эту песню одной из лучших в мире. Особенно клёво как танцуют люди на улицах! Do the twist! Do the mashing potato!


7. Rawhide! Эпизод в bob's country bunker. Группа приеззжает на концерт в кантри клуб.

   The band is driving along a dark, quiet road.]
   
   Mr Fabulous: Alright man, we've been in this car for three hours now. Where the hell is this place?
   Jake: I told you it would take a little while to get there.
   Murph: What's the name of the place?
   Jake: Ah.. the name of the place..
   
   [Jake sees a neon sign ahead with the name of a bar on it.]
   
   Jake: is ah... Bob's Country Bunker. Here we are.
   Elwood: Bob's Country Bunker?
   
   
   [They arrive.]
   
   Mr Fabulous: Jake, the sign says "Tonight Only The Good Ole' Boys"
   Jake: Blues Brothers. It should read ``Tonight only the BluesBrothers triumphant return.'' Must be some kind of mistake. You guysunload the stuff. Elwood,come with me.
   
   [Jake and Elwood head for the bar.]
   
   Claire: Well now what can I get you boys? Are ya thirsty, ya hungry, or you justdriving through? Maybe you'd like a beer or something a little harder? Hey, youknow we happen to make the states best pepper steak.
   Jake: No thank you ma'am. We may be sucking back a few beers a little later on.We'll be here all night. You see, we're the band.
   Claire: You are? Oh, gee, that's nice.
   
   [to Bob]
   
   Hey Bob!! This is the band!
   Bob: Alright!
   Elwood: Er.. what kind of music do you usually have here?
   Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got Country, and Western.
   Elwood: Jake, are you sure this is the place?
   Jake: Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. This is the place.
   
   [Bob walks up to them]
   
   Bob: Hi. You the Good Ole' Boys?
   Jake: That's us. The rest of the bands out in the parking lot getting our stufftogether.
   Bob: Well I'm sure glad to have you boys here. I'm Bob and this here is myplace.

   Bob: I guess you boys wanna get your steel guitars and everything set up on thestage don't ya. Claire get over there and turn those stage lights on and getthese boys going up there.
   
   [The lights go on and Lou notices the stage is screened off with chicken wire.]
   
   Lou: Chicken wire?
   
   [Later on, a good size crowd has gathered and rednecks are talking and drinking.  Elwood has a song list with requests on it.]
   
   Elwood: Man, I don't think we know any of the songs on this list.
   Jake: Oh this list doesn't mean anything, they're just requests.  We're a regularset.
   Murph: Gimme some lovin. 1, 2...

   [The crowd start yelling at the band and hurling bottles at thestage like crazy. There's a shower of glass smashing against thechicken wire.]
   
   Bob:[In a back room.]
   
   That ain't no Hank Williams song.
   
   [He comes out and switches the stage lights off.]
   
   Murph: I think you hit the lights!
   Willie: Maybe they blew a fuse?
   Lou: I don't think so man. Those lights are off on purpose.
   Elwood: Okay. We gotta figure out something these people like and fast.
   Murph: Hey I got it. Remember the theme from Rawhide?
   Elwood: The old favourite. Rowdy Yates.
   Murph: What key?
   Donald: A. Blues country key.
   Elwood: Rawhide in A.



8. Minnie The Moocher. Джейк и Элвуд опаздывают на концерт. Шоу почти сорвано. Но Cab Calloway спасает ситуацию


9. Everybody need somebody to love. Джейк и Элвуд появляются наконец-то на концерте. Вступление. Акробатика. Песня. Я просто обожаю в этом отрывке вот какие моменты. Во-первых как Джейк говорит: one-two-three-four и начинает играть музыка, а во-вторых конечно клёвое вступление Элвуда про Illinois law community


10. Sweet Home Chicago.  Отличный побег братьев блюз со сцены :-)

    Jake: It looks like the Mafia is out there.
    Agent: You guys are great. I've gotta record you.
    Jake: Bullshit!
    Agent: Bullshit? I don't bullshit. I'm president of Clarion records the largest recording company on the eastern sea board.
    Jake: So what?
    Agent: Here's 10,000 dollars. An advance on your first recording session.
    
    [he hands over the cash]
    
    Is it a deal?
    Jake: Yeah, sure it's a deal.
    Elwood: Yeah, yeah, sure.. sure it's a deal. Ah listen all thesecops out here, they're sorta waiting for us. We gotta get outta herewithout nobody seeing us. Do you know a back door outta this place?
    Agent: Sure. I used to be head bouncer here back in the 70's. There's an electrical service duct right behind your drummers riser.
    Jake: Listen, do us a favour. Take 1400 dollars and give it to Rays Music Exchange in Calumed city. Give the rest to the band.
    Agent: You got it.
    Jake: Thanks. Bye.
    Elwood: Bye.
    Agent: Bye.



11. 6345789. Blues Brothers 2000. Джейк уже умер, к сожалению, и в фильме его нет. Но песня-то замечательная


12. How Blue Can You Get одна из самых моих любимых песен из второго фильма: B.B. King, Eric Clapton & Louisiana Gator Boys. Шикарно просто: i gave you seven children, and now you want to give them back?


13. Покидают сцену. А вот так братья блюз покидали сцену. В настоящей жизни.


14. Soul Man. Ещё одно выступление братьев блюз. Совершенно чумовой танец в начале


15. John Belushi tribute. Фотографии про Джона, который умер таким молодым.
