"The Blues Brothers," could not be made today and John Belushi and Dan Akroyd would be cancelled and may still be cancelled by democrat party fascists

John Nolte takes a look at the movie, "The Blues Brothers," and praises it for its freedom.....

Today, this movie could not be made.....and Dan Akroyd and John Belushi would have been fired and dropped by their agents.....this is the fascist way of life with the democrat party in control of our institutions....

Miss Trump yet?

Under the belief it was the movie that would most offend today’s Woketards, last week I wrote about the gloriously inappropriate and problematic Animal House (1978). Finding myself in a Belushi mood, a few days later, I watched his next hit, 1980’s The Blues Brothers, and quickly realized today’s Hitler Youth would hate this one even more — a whole lot more.

You have no idea how blessed I was to come of age in the 70s and 80s, two of the freest decades, not only in our country’s history but in world history. By 1970, Hollywood’s self-censoring Production Code had been dismantled, the great Norman Lear had pushed the boundaries of television with his masterpiece All in the Family, and suddenly nothing and no one was off-limits. There were no more sacred cows. No limits on satire. No protected groups.

And do you want to know the best part? Almost all the satire was good-natured. When a Carlin, Pryor, Lear, and Saturday Night Live took a shot at you, you couldn’t help but laugh at yourself — which is the healthiest of medicines for the human spirit.
--------

This plot might sound simple, but the heresies committed herein against the Religion of Woke are almost too many to count…

I’ll do my best.

1. A movie based entirely on cultural appropriation…

Jake and Elwood Blues are walking, talking, living, breathing sins of cultural appropriation — white guys who sing the blues. Woke heads would explode 20 minutes into this thing. But allow me to say this…

Cultural appropriation is, by any objective and moral measure, a good thing — a very good thing. The whole idea of America is culture appropriation or “out of many one” — which is our national motto (e pluribus unum). We should all be grabbing hold of the best from everyone else’s culture. On top of laughing at ourselves, cultural appropriation bridges differences and bring us together…

To keep us divided, however, the Hitler Youth of Woke have turned a moral and unifying thing into a sin.

1. Faith in God and America…

There’s no irony or anything tongue-in-cheek about Jake and Elwood’s mission. While Aykroyd’s dry recitation of “We’re on a mission from God” is hilarious, the brothers truly believe this and, most importantly, so does the movie. Belushi is literally hit with the Holy Spirit in a Christian church (how could he not with James Brown preaching?).

Yes. Yes. Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ… I have seen the light!

And it is also during this moment where Elwood — and again without irony — expresses his love for America.

Reverend Cleophus James [Brown]: Praise God!
Elwood: And God bless the United States of America.

1. Government is the villain…

Our heroes are out to save a Christian institution from being closed down by the government over property taxes.

1. The glory of “insensitivity” reigns supreme…

There are fat jokes, sex slave jokes, and at one point, Jake impersonates an Arab trader. Ray Charles repeatedly fires a gun at a kid, Carrie Fisher looks sexy as hell posing with an assault rifle, women run around in bikinis, and people look cool smoking cigarettes.

1. So much glorious “sexism”…

Carrie Fisher plays a crazed stalker, Aretha Franklin is a nagging wife, Twiggy is left outside a cheap motel waiting for Elwood…

That’s it. That’s all the women are allowed to do.

1. Nazis played for laughs…

The Nazis, or to be more precise, the “Illinois Nazis” (led by the great Henry Gibson), are played entirely for laughs. This, of course, is the smartest and most effective way to marginalize Nazis — you turn them into a joke. But if this were done today, the cries of That’s not funny! would never cease.

Oh, and there’s even a gay Nazi.

I’ve always loved you.

And now we come to the movie’s most unforgivable act of Woke Heresy….

1. Race is never mentioned… Not even once.

Although this is a movie populated with black and white characters and premised on the blues, never once is race raised as an issue. The Nazis aren’t even motivated by race. They’re just angry at the Blues Brothers for driving them off a bridge. The “rednecks” aren’t motivated by race. They’re angry over having their gig stolen. A centerpiece scene takes place in a honkytonk. Race is never mentioned.

Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here?
Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got country and western.

Throughout, we see blacks and whites sing, dance, argue, joke, travel, and perform together, all in a spirit of brotherhood.
-----

Like Animal House, and despite its R-rating (only for the occasional F-word), The Blues Brothers is ultimately a very moral movie. This is a story about redemption, brotherhood, recognizing our shared humanity, ignoring skin color, thumbing your nose at authority, accepting responsibility, the futility of grudges, and pursuing a cause greater than self.

A that’s that’s total garbage. The blues brothers could be made today. The show that couldn’t is All in the Family. But that’s because trumpkins wouldn’t get that Archie is the joke

What are you talking about? We constantly get that you lefties like to craft stories where people you don't like are the butt of jokes.


We see it all the time.


And hollywood has no trouble churning out that shit.

 

[Correll]

"Fascism" puts the state at the center of social and political life. Thus, patriotism and militarism are implicit.

No, they are not. Patriotism is love of COUNTRY, not the state.


And even militarism, doesn't have require the State being the center of social or political life, just the military having a big and/or respected role.


YOu just oppose both of them, Patriotism and the military, and thus want to smear them, with lies.

All in the Family wouldn't get made..because it is ultimately about reconciliation between the races and the generations. That flavor ain't popular these days.
The Blues Brothers gives full credit where credit is due...do you think Aretha would have appeared otherwise?

As a musician..I'll tell ya that I've never seen any issue between the races and the Blues.

Cultural appropriation is the use of unique cultural contributions without acknowledgement as to their provenance. Blues musicians are totally aware of where the Blues originated...and Jazz...and Early rock.

1. Good point about the "reconciliation" aspect of All in the Family.

2. I've never seen a SJW type, use the idea of cultural appropriation the way you describe it. Everything in their hands, is just a club to smash their enemies with, whether it makes sense or not.

Don't blame me, I voted for Trump.
Free Speech, Free Press, Free Thought.
Do you miss Trump yet?

Just like the Nazis missed Hitler in 1946.

Was teh Blues Brothers problematic or a great movie, in your opinion?

Great movie. They were on a mission from God. But everything was different then. They even sang a song Sweet Home Chicago then. Who the hell would say that today about that liberal shooting gallery?

100% correct.

The dumbfuck OP has never heard of Hairspray.

Moron...it is likely they couldn't do Hairspray today.........the LGBTQZE #FS fascists would ban it too.......

They are trying to cancel the Musical "Grease," you dumb ass..

Meanwhile back in reality, the cruise I'm taking has Hairspray and Jersey Boys playing every night of the 7 night voyage.

You speak from a position of extreme ignorance as always.

It's on a cruise ship that is more than likely not registered in the U.S.......you twit......

Start hiring non LGBTQXUZWDCCESSSAa actors to be in the movie......and see what happens...

John Nolte takes a look at the movie, "The Blues Brothers," and praises it for its freedom.....

Today, this movie could not be made.....and Dan Akroyd and John Belushi would have been fired and dropped by their agents.....this is the fascist way of life with the democrat party in control of our institutions....

Miss Trump yet?

Under the belief it was the movie that would most offend today’s Woketards, last week I wrote about the gloriously inappropriate and problematic Animal House (1978). Finding myself in a Belushi mood, a few days later, I watched his next hit, 1980’s The Blues Brothers, and quickly realized today’s Hitler Youth would hate this one even more — a whole lot more.

You have no idea how blessed I was to come of age in the 70s and 80s, two of the freest decades, not only in our country’s history but in world history. By 1970, Hollywood’s self-censoring Production Code had been dismantled, the great Norman Lear had pushed the boundaries of television with his masterpiece All in the Family, and suddenly nothing and no one was off-limits. There were no more sacred cows. No limits on satire. No protected groups.

And do you want to know the best part? Almost all the satire was good-natured. When a Carlin, Pryor, Lear, and Saturday Night Live took a shot at you, you couldn’t help but laugh at yourself — which is the healthiest of medicines for the human spirit.
--------

This plot might sound simple, but the heresies committed herein against the Religion of Woke are almost too many to count…

I’ll do my best.

1. A movie based entirely on cultural appropriation…

Jake and Elwood Blues are walking, talking, living, breathing sins of cultural appropriation — white guys who sing the blues. Woke heads would explode 20 minutes into this thing. But allow me to say this…

Cultural appropriation is, by any objective and moral measure, a good thing — a very good thing. The whole idea of America is culture appropriation or “out of many one” — which is our national motto (e pluribus unum). We should all be grabbing hold of the best from everyone else’s culture. On top of laughing at ourselves, cultural appropriation bridges differences and bring us together…

To keep us divided, however, the Hitler Youth of Woke have turned a moral and unifying thing into a sin.

1. Faith in God and America…

There’s no irony or anything tongue-in-cheek about Jake and Elwood’s mission. While Aykroyd’s dry recitation of “We’re on a mission from God” is hilarious, the brothers truly believe this and, most importantly, so does the movie. Belushi is literally hit with the Holy Spirit in a Christian church (how could he not with James Brown preaching?).

Yes. Yes. Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ… I have seen the light!

And it is also during this moment where Elwood — and again without irony — expresses his love for America.

Reverend Cleophus James [Brown]: Praise God!
Elwood: And God bless the United States of America.

1. Government is the villain…

Our heroes are out to save a Christian institution from being closed down by the government over property taxes.

1. The glory of “insensitivity” reigns supreme…

There are fat jokes, sex slave jokes, and at one point, Jake impersonates an Arab trader. Ray Charles repeatedly fires a gun at a kid, Carrie Fisher looks sexy as hell posing with an assault rifle, women run around in bikinis, and people look cool smoking cigarettes.

1. So much glorious “sexism”…

Carrie Fisher plays a crazed stalker, Aretha Franklin is a nagging wife, Twiggy is left outside a cheap motel waiting for Elwood…

That’s it. That’s all the women are allowed to do.

1. Nazis played for laughs…

The Nazis, or to be more precise, the “Illinois Nazis” (led by the great Henry Gibson), are played entirely for laughs. This, of course, is the smartest and most effective way to marginalize Nazis — you turn them into a joke. But if this were done today, the cries of That’s not funny! would never cease.

Oh, and there’s even a gay Nazi.

I’ve always loved you.

And now we come to the movie’s most unforgivable act of Woke Heresy….

1. Race is never mentioned… Not even once.

Although this is a movie populated with black and white characters and premised on the blues, never once is race raised as an issue. The Nazis aren’t even motivated by race. They’re just angry at the Blues Brothers for driving them off a bridge. The “rednecks” aren’t motivated by race. They’re angry over having their gig stolen. A centerpiece scene takes place in a honkytonk. Race is never mentioned.

Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here?
Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got country and western.

Throughout, we see blacks and whites sing, dance, argue, joke, travel, and perform together, all in a spirit of brotherhood.
-----

Like Animal House, and despite its R-rating (only for the occasional F-word), The Blues Brothers is ultimately a very moral movie. This is a story about redemption, brotherhood, recognizing our shared humanity, ignoring skin color, thumbing your nose at authority, accepting responsibility, the futility of grudges, and pursuing a cause greater than self.

Nolte: The Gloriously Inappropriate and Problematic 'Blues Brothers'

The gloriously inappropriate and problematic "Blues Brothers" (1980) could never get made in today's culture of woke fascism.

Same goes for The Birth of a Nation..that movie could not be made today.

No, Dick Tiny, nobody misses Trump.

This movie couldn't be made because it was actually kind of a disaster. It lost money because it was so ridiculously expensive to make.

End of the day, Hollywood is a business.

I could see the right having just as much trouble with this movie.

The blatant disrespect for police officers for instance.

1. Faith in God and America…

There’s no irony or anything tongue-in-cheek about Jake and Elwood’s mission. While Aykroyd’s dry recitation of “We’re on a mission from God” is hilarious, the brothers truly believe this and, most importantly, so does the movie. Belushi is literally hit with the Holy Spirit in a Christian church (how could he not with James Brown preaching?).

Really? I read it as religion being openly mocked.

Now, here's a thing, whenever we get a "this movie couldn't be made today" it's more a case of "why would you make this movie today".

I was visiting my sister a few years ago and the Blues Brothers was on, and they have the scene with Sr. Mary Stigmata (AKA The Penguin) whacking the boys with a big wooden ruler while they sat in undersized school chairs. My sister and I thought this was absolutely hilarious (because we had grown up with crazy-ass nuns like that) but my niece was horrified at a scene she just thought was mean.

The same thing with the Scene with the Nazis. It had relevance because the Nazis under Frank Collins (Actually, Frank Cohn, a self-hating Jew who was eventually convicted of child abuse) had just won a court case allowing his group to hold a rally in Skokie. Today's Neo Nazis, who are much larger of a group and much more dangerous, don't need to hold rallies, they congregate on line where no one can point out how ridiculous they look.

In short, the joke has become dated.

www.breitbart.com

The Blues Brothers could possibly be the most perfect movie of all time: a glorious amalgam of comedy, action, tension and musicality talently interwoven into two hours of seamless nonstop entertainment. It's right up there with another near perfect movie: Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Seeing the Blues for the first time, I couldn't get over all of the original ideas and plot twists that never stopped coming from the very opening right up to the very last scene.

Storyline​

'Pleasantly Plump' teenager Tracy Turnblad achieves her dream of becoming a regular on the Corny Collins Dance Show. Now a teen hero, she starts using her fame to speak out for the causes she believes in, most of all integration. In doing so, she earns the wrath of the show's former star, Amber Von Tussle, as well as Amber's manipulative, pro-segregation parents. The rivalry comes to a head as Amber and Tracy vie for the title of Miss Auto Show 1963.

So was the racist George Jefferson who had everything in common with Archie you stupid bint.

A that’s that’s total garbage. The blues brothers could be made today. The show that couldn’t is All in the Family. But that’s because trumpkins wouldn’t get that Archie is the joke

See the thing is, Archie wasn't real. He was what hollywood lefties thought of, the blue dog dems who fought and won WWII, and elected people like FDR and JFK and even Johnson.


Their lib uptopia they lived in, was fought for and built by the real people like Archie and they paid him back, by ridiculing him and making a joke of him and his sacrifices.

Nolte: The Gloriously Inappropriate and Problematic 'Blues Brothers'

The gloriously inappropriate and problematic "Blues Brothers" (1980) could never get made in today's culture of woke fascism.

www.breitbart.com

A couple of thoughts.
1) I think the moral censorship that went into effect in 1934 were good, and to have them go off in the late 1960s was bad. Families were a lot stronger during the period they were in effect. Sexual immorality is a bigger harm to society than people realize. Normalizing sex outside of marriage was the biggest effect of that. Nearly all movies seem to have the obligatory bedroom scene.

2) I never ever saw the appeal of John Belushi. Nothing he did was funny.

3) I agree that many pre-woke things were funny, but wouldn't be allowed today. Some episodes of SNL come to mind. But the woke movement is much different from the sexually permissive movement. Both are pushed by the radical left.

4) I think Norman Lear was a detriment to society. All in the Family and Maude in place of Green Acres and Andy Griffith? No. We don't need heavy sitcoms on abortion, homosexuality, etc. Just clean light-hearted laughter. I don't care if it is silly.

 

[sparky]

Blow it out your ass.........you are just a troll...

See, I was my old battalion commander’s assistant operations officer and I was riding with him in his HUMVEE driving through Los Angeles as it burned in April 1992.


That was a riot.

What happened on Capitol Hill was a few dudes dressed like Conan the Fauxbarian acting like fools and occasionally fighting with the cops while a few hundred other dudes took selfies in the Rotunda.

We were in the 3rd Battalion, 160th Infantry, the first combat arms unit on the street during the LA Riot, a riot brought to you by Maxine Waters and other idiots, by the way. There was burning and looting and dozens we can say with absolute certainty were murdered by the LA rioters, unlike at the Capitol. It lasted for days. You wouldn’t know it from Rep. Stolen Cower, who seems to claim she suffered PTSD from being at the far end of the same ZIP code as the bruhaha, but what happened on January 6 was no “insurrection,” and Republicans need to stop playing along with the Establishment talking point that it was.
---

The idea of an “insurrection” is to delegitimize all resistance to the garbage Establishment’s reign of error, and to play along is to give credence to its lie and to empower its propaganda.

You have done nothing wrong by rejecting the Establishment narrative. You have done nothing wrong by protesting what you see as a flawed election and a corrupt ruling class. You have a right to protest anything you want, and you don’t need their permission

They hype the happening because they want to make you afraid to speak up. They want to try to make it impossible for you to live in this society if you do not parrot the party line. They won’t say it that way. They will try to wrap themselves in the same flag they were calling a symbol of white supremacy last year to try to seize some sort of moral high ground and shut you up. Like they give a damn about the Constitution. This tiresome “insurrection” and “sedition” palaver is just a ham-handed attempt to turn 74 million Americans – almost none of whom wear Thor drag – into enemies of mom and apple pie, which is weird because they usually hate traditional family structures and non-kale foods.
