Animal House was one of the highlights of the all-to-short
career of John Belushi. Though we know him best from his work on
Saturday Night Live, he did have a short film career before his
untimely death. Animal House is by far the best one he had the
opportunity to make. Animal House basically depicts the usual party
atmosphere that occupies many a college campus and John's character
helps to put the Animal into Animal House. Since the making of this
movie, a lot of other films have come along that have attempted to
bank on many of the elements used in the creation of this film. A lot
of college fraternity and party movies conveniently borrowed some of
Animal House's ideas. These ideas where original at the time of the
release of the movie but have since become clichés. Though many of
the ideas have since been overplayed, I must still recommend the
original source. |
