  • We have all shades in my family. diminican, creole, italian, french, black and indian. Im a mutt but im gonna claim african american as if those other races are not in my blood. Beccause my african roots are the one im most proud of...

  • That must mess Lisette up, being the slave, but being part of the same blood, just a different mother, if you can believe it.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a question, if the girl who was serving food is his daughter too, then why hasn't he accepted her like the other two?

  • @Hersheychocolate567 I think because he neded another servant, and he didnt wanna put all that on her mother. Plus her mom isnt mixed like his mistress so thats also probabbly why...its all about who looks closer to white

  • It was also about social status as well as that.

  • @Hersheychocolate567 her mother is fully african and a slave she is lower in the caste system

  • wait a minute, so Robert Richard is not his child? is he his half cousin? Also, the girl thats serving food she is daughter plus the young one sitting at the table with the light eyes? I'm so confused..man he slept with their mom and their slave..sigh

  • I have to have the book now..the book will probally be better, but this is a GREAT MOVIE, hands down .

  • She crying about how I have everything and she has nothing. She should stop expecting everyone else to take care of her. Oh, and get this. Now it's a rumor in the family spreading that she most likely is not my father's child. My father is dead so now everyone wants to do confession. Feeling a little salty that the one they mistreated is doing very well and the one they treated like a princess is a non-family bum. Now they want me to come around more. Hell NAW! I'm doing fine without you thanks.

  • You know what that kind of shit still goes on in families. I for one would never serve meals and wait on people who I am a sister to as a slave. I would have ran away for some kind of freedom somewhere, or died trying. That situation really reminds me of me and my half-sister. Everybody loved that girl because she is light with long hair. Oh, mine grows too but I am the darker. Yet, I'm the one who excelled and have a master's degree. What did she do? Live off of men and never finish school.

  • Aww that is so sad juse because her mother is african she can't live a comfortable life like the other two no fair

  • Jean-Jacques was one of my favorite characters. I love hearing him talk in the book and movie. =)~

  • who is the guy that said kristoff and why did he look mad

  • All the actors in this are excellent.

  • Hey! That's "Arnez" from One on One- never knew he was in this!

  • @EbonyNewsChannel

    lol and the show My Cousin Skeeter. ( I use to watch both with my daughter)

  • He ruins his marriage with his unfaithfulness and abuse to his wife as well. M. Ferronaire really thought he had his world at his feet. He doesn't respect women at all.

  • @angylgyrl They did that ALL the time.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL THE TIME.. you can read more about it in the Incidents of A Slave Girl by Linda Brent...she speaks about the constant attempts of white mane to seduce African & mulatto girls and adult females. She also speaks of the low probability that any of them would live without being raped...as well as the horror of wht females from the North who didn't know their husbands would do so & their vindictive cruelty toward female slaves 4 suspcn

  • @angylgyrl

    It's more of a cultural thing...not so much disrespect. WW/WM put money and image above morals and ethics then. We still see this part of their culture today. Bill and Hillary Clinton....... today they call it forgiveness and being a strong woman.

    I find it interesting that non blacks seemed more worried about sharing their fortune with half black offsprings, before the actually situation all together. Um, you have half black relatives now...from affairs and rape. hello?

  • @angylgyrl I don't think he abused his wife, but he married for money then fell in love with Cecille. And she didn't love him either but being a good catholic fulfilled just enough of her wifely duties to give him an heir. But Old Dazincourt should've paid better attention, Phillippe was not a business man - he had been living off family wealth and partied when he was propositioned.

  • Great !

  • OMG Zazou's Canadian and Marie and Josette is too!!! There dad is such a douche bag!!! He has another mixed child yet he won't acknowledge her and she's their slave??? That's messed up just because her mother is fully Haitian and not creole like her half siblings. That's terrible and he's pig for doing that to his own daughter. Zazou is a poor ignorant women she don't realize he'll only see her as his pretty little creole slave mistress/baby mama.

  • @Bonitaymorena but isnt her lizette....thats her name in the book...and the dad is supose to have blonde hair and blue eyes...thats where marcel got his blond kinky hair from

  • @ilovecronaldo7 Yeah you're right her name is Lizette!! I just heard it wrong. But yeah in the book I haven't read it but people who have told me that Marcel's fake father has dark hair. But his real father has blond, so probably in the miniseries they didn't bother making it known that technically he doesn't have the same father as Lizette since his real father is not that guy. I just wish they had better dialogue coaches to improve their creole accents lol. Only a few people sounded French!!

  • @Bonitaymorena What are you talking about? Phillippe is the father of all the children in that household, Lisette, Marcelle, Marie. I think Cecille's father was a blonde, and maybe some people on Phillippes side but at anyway genetics does crazy things, but there is no one else who Cecille was with between Mr. Dazincourt & Phillippe

  • @Bonitaymorena The dark haired guy is marcel's father. Two dark haired parents can produce fair haired children

  • @MultiPurpleLemon ok then that person was wrong?? I haven't read the novel so I don't know.... I know that a dark haired person can make a blonde haired child it's called recessive genes!!! so maybe his grandpa or grandma had blonde hair.

  • @Bonitaymorena yep, recessive gene is all it was, both parents must have carried the gene

  • @Bonitaymorena , yes my parents were dark skined and produced two dark skined children and 3 light skined children, one with RED hair!!

  • @MultiPurpleLemon I have dark hair and my little girl's father has dark hair, but she has light hair, she was blond until about a year ago.

  • @Bonitaymorena that's how it was back then white men went to see creoles and slaves while their white wives looked the other way but when it would really count the white men would never admit that those dark skinned babies were theirs. It's sick and just plain cruel. The people I feel sorry for the most are the child with white fathers who know that they will never be loved like their white siblings.

  • @D22queen The offspring of mulattos and white male rape weren't considered white either!! Rape is always sick and cruel. SO is racism- white supremacy.

  • I love this story thank you for uploading it. I read the book years ago. Most people think automatically of the vampire stories or the witch series when they think of Anne Rice, but this is one of my favorite Anne Rice novels.
