About Blues Brothers
“Blue Brothers” is a film about Jake Blues and Elwood. According to the plot of the movie, they are both blood brothers.
The Blues Brothers’ characters were inspired by the Toronto-based Downchild Blues Band, founded in 1969 by two brothers. John Belushi played Jake, and Dan Aykroyd played Elwood.
As children, they were raised in a Roman Catholic orphanage. Eventually, as they grew older, the orphanage was about to close because it had not paid the $5,000 property tax.
To save the orphanage, the Blues brothers decided to take responsibility for repaying the tax. To win $5,000, they must give an amazing performance in a band. As they progressed, they encountered a lot of challenges.
