Review – The Making of The Blues Brothers

I have a real love-hate relationship with The Blues Brothers. Part of me still enjoys the jokes I thought were completely hysterical when I first saw it in 1980 (I was 14 at the time). But another part of me struggles to cope with its embodiment of white-centered media to “borrow” heavily from Black culture in general and music in particular. This documentary suffers from the same setbacks as its subject. It’s a great study of the people involved with the production and their experiences making the movie. But there still isn’t much critical thought to its more uncomfortable aspects. Mildly amusing
