The soldiers didnt know that th' folks saw them as invaders but tried to treat em nice. But once you piss off a cajun, your life insurance better be paid up ! The swamp and the bayou is thier friend and it takes offense to intruders, unless you are an invited guest.
This music stuck with me ever since I first saw the movie. These musicians are legends, esp. Dewey Balfa and Marc Savoy(the guy tearing up that accordion). I love the growl of that accordion!
I grew up knowing this song my pepe plays guitar and sings,we used to have sawmill dances. But the other song I can't find, I think it's La place mon coure desire, but I'm no sure. Any help?
@MrChrisrage i saw this clip a few months ago . the extended version ends with a great version of "eunice 2 step" if my memory serves me well. that may be what your thinking of.
a brilliant scene from my favourite movie, Balfour Bros a bonus, I'll never forget the impact the first time I saw it, leading through to the butchering .
Looked this up because someone was passing round a link to Apocolypse Now, this film does it better but both fantastic sound tracks
There was this vehicle of a song back in the 80's to this tune. Chorus: Whats the color of money?, whats the color of money? Don't tell me that you think it's green, to me it's always red.
"... S: Do you mind tellin' us what the Hell this is all about? C: Its real simple... we live back in here... dis is our home... and nobody don't fuck with us..."
This is the greatest scene of the movie- Those guys surviving the fight with the cajuns and then just accidentially entering that celebration without knowing wether they are safe or in danger watching how they kill the pig and prepare for meal.
This movie was based on a true eventfrom 1977 Lousiana Nat'l guardsmen . Eight of them . Disappead . No one ever knew what happen them until a reporter spotted a swamp rat poacher in Dellrousch hunting camp with gear from one of the dead missing guys.
@tsv1875 Because the soldiers started it ... they stole the canoos, and they fired at the Cajuns, who didn't know it was blanks ... And then they acted like scumbags inside the swamps. You don't fuck with the Cajuns at their own backyard ...
@hegstad9 Never saw the movie, I need to. Yes, go into ANYONE's back yard & steal from them, shoot at them, etc. Don't expect a warm welcome. What was the old story about UFO's. Someone said, "let's shoot them down & see if they're friendly". I knew a girl years ago on a construction site. Engaged to a Cajun; said she & daughter went home w/him for a visit. 1st day, they felt like family. Said they rolled out the red carpet.
@usaruss I think I've seen it about 8 times. I watch it to hear the music. It is a masterpiece to Ry Cooder's skill. He did an incredible soundtrack. I don't watch many R movies even, but think I could watch anything with his music in it. Good movie.
@hegstad9 I've always had a rule not to pick fights with anyone, anywhere. Has saved me a lot of grief. Enough trouble comes on its own w/out looking for it. Was out drinking w/a friend 1 night, he started something with a biker gang. I told them he was drunk & they let me take him away. If not, he'd have had to fight them on his own. I wasn't about to help him. I never hung out with him again.
I loved this movie back in the day...what made me look at it again was I just saw an episode of Night Rider who, in a cajun scene, used the same music...
This movie is just too awesome. I really hope some crappy modern movie director won't make remake of this, that would be too sacrilegious act to tolerate.
"... Soldier: Do you mind tellin' us what the hell this is all about? Cajun: It real simple... we live back in here... dis is our home, and nobody don't fuck with us..."
@caviper1 what is the meaning with the US army jeep at the end i always seem the miss the beginning of this movie. can never figure out the end. thanks and dont go down there it's fucking spooky
@up2space Essentially, the reservists are on a weekend exercise in the Louisiana swamps and they piss of some Cajun woodsman by being disrespectful to their cultures and such. The woodsman hunt the guardsmen in order to teach them a lesson. By the end of the film the arrival of the Army truck signifies their escape from the Cajun woodsman and safety from a lawless land.
@hbk42581yeah i got all that my question was was that jeep in the first 30 minutes of the movie? why did they play it in slo mo at the end. it was creepy made me think that the cajuns were running the choppers all along this was one fucked up movie and i love i met some cajuns back in the day and they wouldn't be served by a nigger bartender and they hated the blues sob story and all that hey they were a bit extreme but they stuck to there guns they made the nigger bartender feel bad but so what
@hbk42581 Didn't I read that the reservists stole the Cajuns' boats, then shot at them with blanks? Steal from someone, then shoot at him (who knows they're blanks?), what would you expect to happen? No one I know would take kindly to such things. Some folks have no way to fight back, but anyone else would fight fire with fire, for sure. "Don't tread on me".
This is such a personal favorite and the choice of music (and song) for this scene is unmatched b/c of its authentic folk feel. I remember seeing this movie in the early eighties on network tv--when censors would preface the showing with "the following is for mature audiences, discretion is advised--and thought then, and still do, that this is one of Hill's finest directorial achievements.
Does anyone know the name of the movie starring HAL HOLBROOK, its a story of his character and his friends being terrorized and hunted down by hill billies in the back woods?
@v49624430 Are you thinking of Deliverence? I went through Hal Holbrooks filmography and couldn't find any movies he was in that matched what you're seeking.
@Sagedegaule All Cadiens have European ancestry, but most of us also have Micmaq Indian ancestry. Few of us have any black créole, since we would thus be créole and not really cadien any more.
OMG! They slaughter a hog! What could be worse? A dog pissing on a tree stump? I thought the 1 armed man was cool. He had a Winchester Model 86 in 45-70 caliber. The Cajun hunters only had Remington Rolling-block single-shot rifles in 45-70 caliber.
Restless84, they're both French dialects, one got standardized and taught, the other came to America in a time capsule. One can communicate with the other with a little difficulty.
Not that much actually. The French can understand the Cajun pretty well, even if a lot of their words aren't anymore in the current French (of France) vocabulary...
At least there is no danger of the Frenchies making them 'squeal like a pig' or commenting lasciviously on the 'purtiness' of their lips with accompanying lewd glances.
On the other hand, GSP did ass rape that Hawaiian coconut head something awful.
Yeah, yeah, I know the distinction between Cajuns and the Québécois..
The brutal insane paranoia is rampant throughout the movie. I confess it was my first exposure to the Cajuns. The depiction was somewhat to the south of uncomplimenatry.
@pinz2022 Keep in mind the only thing Cajun on this movie are the musicians. The party is somewhat over done, but plausible. The rest of the movie is just that, for entertainment purposes only.
@pinz2022 I thought so as well. My experience with the Cajuns is limited, but I am very familiar with the Acadians of Canada, and a more harmless, friendly, tolerant, and peaceful people you'll never meet.
Then again, the non-Cajuns in this movie weren't exactly free of neurosis themselves, were they? I think this movie was about the darkness in us all.
cajun and irish dashed with a little indian,drink and be crazy,signed a lecompt thats full of life ...ill drink and be alive until im fillin a coffin just like my kin,....they all like the same thing ,good lookin women bourbon and life....signed robert lecompt...hot springs arkansas......
I have been watching this since it first hit the theaters, I Lived in LA LA for a while and have been invited to Crawdad cookouts on the Bayou, this is exactly what it's like. Good people out there.
I love this movie, and the Cajuns, I route for them in it. My family is Irish but my dad went down to Louisiana and went to Mass and everything with the Cajuns in the Euchafalia Swamp.
Man- the translated lyrics to this song are friggin hysterical- LET'S TALK OF DRINKING, NOT OF MARRIAGE, ALWAYS REGRETTING THOSE PRETTY DAYS GONE BY! ....Cajun music rocks!
ya i live in louisiana and i promise you its NOTHING like that we listen to regular music we dont "slaughter" animals for food everynight (lol) its the same as people do anywhere in the US we do eat different food such as gumbo jambalaya and things like that
also we do have ALOT of festivals and we do not talk with such a thick accent (i mean some people do like in the cajun country region and in the gulf of mexico) but we're not like
I swear, Francis Ford Coppola put you guys on the map. I never heard of the Cajuns before this. That subtle blend of attraction and menace was perfect. My brother and I rehearsed the culminating scene numerous times.
I very much respect Cajun people, even through this movie they seems to be something negative I think it is only because of the movie. My wish is to visit this part of US because of its rich heritage, something special starting with music, food and unique mentality.
My family has been huntin and catchin gators on the okefenokee since my great uncles grandfather and i have family in loisiana on the swamp so wer all swamp people and i take no offence to this movie
This movie is retarded. It makes Cajuns look like something barely third world. Which is nonsense. The area averages poorer than most of America, but it is still very much America.
HIJOSS :-) Pas la meme chose Deliverence c'est des mountain men ET dans Southern Comfert c'est des cajuns LOL Tu compare des pommes avec des oranges !!
C'est quand même fou,pourquoi les Cajuns sont tout le temps des idiots consanguins comme dans Southern Comfort et Deliverance!
It's funny and awfull to see in Cinema that Cajuns are always stupid and consanguineous like in Deliverance and this Movie!Like French we are always the bad guy lol
It it makes you feel better, the movie is probably supposed to be about the Vietnam war in a veiled manner. The use of Acadians was a device to have draft dodgers suddenly in Vietnam without leaving the U.S.
Feltum, to answer your question about whether these communities exist in the United States, they do. I've studied about Cajun culture in Louisiana and if you go to towns like Mamou,Church Point,Breaux Bridge,Thibodaux,Morgan City etc.. and also back in the rural unincorporated areas you'll find gatherings like this with food,music and dance. Ah, the simple pleasures of life!
fantastic movie!! it always confused me as to why lots of people think the cajuns are the bad guys for retalliating after being shot at with a machine gun after their boats had been stolen!!reese also shouts abuse at them!! i must've watched it atleast 30 times over the years&never realised how much predator had ripped it off!.
Yup, they exist in many rural areas of America, but definately in Louisiana, though it is more Americanized all the time. The gatherings are still there, in fact we are doing a pig butchering (boucherie) this weekend, with music.
Why the negative mark for hammerhead's comment? In fact the British Crown DID apologize, sort of, a few years ago. There was no actual apology but they admitted their responsibility for the ethnic cleansing of the Acadians. One of my own ancestors, a 13-year-old boy orphaned by the actions of the British, narrowly survived one of the most disturbingly violent events of this cleansing when men were tied to trees and forced to watch their wives and children butchered in the snow.
@Werebat It wasn't only the English that were behind our exile; the English colonists from New England -- the same people who later formed the US government, took over Louisiana, and tried to destroy our culture and language -- also actively participated in and profited from the Grand Dérangement.
i watched this when i was 14&was blown away by it!! it introduced me to cajun music!!! it doesnt get any better than dewey balfa!! all these years on& its one of my all time faves!! ive heard so many people over the years who didnt like it! each to their own!! its good to see so much love for it here!! i want a cleaned up dvd with 5.1 surround of it!! it would add so much more to the already awesome atmosphere!!
This is the end of the film where the characters of Powers Booth and David Carradine have a showdown with the cajuns that killed their platoon in the Louisina bayou.
Thanks to this comment from 23setexas: "Tune is "Parlez nouz au' boire" (Lets talk about drinking). Song advising boy the dangers of marrying different types of females. Rich, poor, pretty,or ugly they all cause problems according to song)". again Thanks 23setexas
it sounds like a song called "whats the colour of money " from the 80s can`t remember who sang it and can`t find it on here but the artist who sang it definately borrowed the melody from this movie
Yep this is a great movie, when i first Southern Comfort it formed the first impression of what service in the National Guard is like...turns out it`s nothing like the movies haha
This haunting film with it's excellent soundtrack has long been one of my all-time favorites... and with not a single drop of Cajun blood, have always been inexplicably-appreciative of 'Parlez-nous a boire' by The Balfa Brothers. heh.
That one badass Cajun is played by Sonny Landham. He was also in Walter Hills' 48 hours as Billy Bear. He's running for governor or something in Kentucky this year I think.

You mean YOU don't, but a lot of us do. And listen to this music, and speak French, and speak English with a thick accent.

I swear, Francis Ford Coppola put you guys on the map. I never heard of the Cajuns before this. That subtle blend of attraction and menace was perfect. My brother and I rehearsed the culminating scene numerous times.

I very much respect Cajun people, even through this movie they seems to be something negative I think it is only because of the movie. My wish is to visit this part of US because of its rich heritage, something special starting with music, food and unique mentality.

This movie is retarded. It makes Cajuns look like something barely third world. Which is nonsense. The area averages poorer than most of America, but it is still very much America.

I don't know if you live by the Swamp, but there are some old cajuns that I'm friends with that live back in the swamps.
This movie may be offending some cajuns by the way they are portrayed with the lviing conditions, but in some areas it is like this...

It it makes you feel better, the movie is probably supposed to be about the Vietnam war in a veiled manner. The use of Acadians was a device to have draft dodgers suddenly in Vietnam without leaving the U.S.

Feltum, to answer your question about whether these communities exist in the United States, they do. I've studied about Cajun culture in Louisiana and if you go to towns like Mamou,Church Point,Breaux Bridge,Thibodaux,Morgan City etc.. and also back in the rural unincorporated areas you'll find gatherings like this with food,music and dance. Ah, the simple pleasures of life!

Do these kinds of communities really exist in America? Excuse my ignorance - i'm British!

Yup, they exist in many rural areas of America, but definately in Louisiana, though it is more Americanized all the time. The gatherings are still there, in fact we are doing a pig butchering (boucherie) this weekend, with music.

hammerhead19681 2 years ago 2
Why the negative mark for hammerhead's comment? In fact the British Crown DID apologize, sort of, a few years ago. There was no actual apology but they admitted their responsibility for the ethnic cleansing of the Acadians. One of my own ancestors, a 13-year-old boy orphaned by the actions of the British, narrowly survived one of the most disturbingly violent events of this cleansing when men were tied to trees and forced to watch their wives and children butchered in the snow.

@Werebat It wasn't only the English that were behind our exile; the English colonists from New England -- the same people who later formed the US government, took over Louisiana, and tried to destroy our culture and language -- also actively participated in and profited from the Grand Dérangement.

This haunting film with it's excellent soundtrack has long been one of my all-time favorites... and with not a single drop of Cajun blood, have always been inexplicably-appreciative of 'Parlez-nous a boire' by The Balfa Brothers. heh.
