My daddy was a farmer here in southeastern NC , that's the way alot of farm famlies did things , I remmber alot of hog killin' ,it's a part of southern life.
Cajuns are Acadians... they just never returned after the expulsion. Although I'm originally from Boston my family is based in South Western Nova Scotia but I'm sure I have distant relatives who call themselves "Cajun"... especially since my last name is Le Blanc.
I am not so knowledgeable about the Cajuns of the Delta, but I know quite a bit about the Acadians of Canada. It's almost unimaginable that an Acadian would get that kind of a hate on for anyone, but the party and the music and the food are pretty realistic.
Don't think so? Take a vacation in New Brunswick and see for yourself.
The music is great, and real. Loved the music and scenery. Still a few houses left in that style. The dancing isn't like any dancing I've ever seen, though.
@54321Rambler So not a crap film. If you are looking for a deliverance remake, just watch deliverance. They are totally different. Sounds a lot more like you actually didnt get the film.
@sovibrant You thought it necessary to comment so I'll return the compliment. Deliverance and Southern Comfort are totally different yet with a common theme - violence by locals against strangers in their midst. Whereas Deliverance was totally plausible and believable film, S C was so far fetched as to be unreal. Transporting bodies through the swamps to scare the guardsmen, I ask you. Still the music was great although Dewey Balfa and Savoy would have been better employed elsewhere.
Keith Carradine and Powers Boothe 2 extremely underrated actors! Also, Fred Ward makes an appearance early on, who sees to have bit parts in everything these days.
@forestrob7980 I've had filipino roast pig. Called "lechon baboy", and the pig was raised in my wife's back shed. In the Philippines, it's a man's duty to dispatch the pig, but my dad-in-law couldn't do it. He was simply too attached to the pig that had grown up in his yard, and his wife had to do it. And lechon baboy is prepared with no more seasoning than smoke, salt and sugar, and tastes remarkably like the Cajun variety :-)
I'm from Arkansas and I LOVE south Louisiana! I wish I was from there, because this music just speaks to me! I helped with Habitat for Humanity after Katrina and gotta tell you I loved the people down there. I wish I had been to a party like this, though.
I live in south Louisiana and this is the true meaning of the words (house party). Here , we look for an excuse to throw a party and have a good time. Years back , it was common to make a hog butcher at your house. There is nothing like the taste of fresh pork on the table with cracklins, tasso, and boudin and you cant forget the cornbread. the rest of the world just dont know what they are missing.
@005658able In the way you describe it, it make me feel what we're missing. I've been in France quite a few times, and have even lived there for a while. And it looks a lot like the "fêtes du village" they celebrate there. Even with the pork, but without the crawfish.
@005658able I'd love to visit there 1 of these days. Have known 1 or 2 people from that area. If I make it, I promise not to come in shooting; blanks or not! That guy at the start was an industrial strength jackass to start shooting. Too bad so many others paid for it too.
@005658able Would this be an all day sort of party, drop in & out as able? Family, friends, passers by? I could listen to the music a long time without tiring of it. I never liked the accordian until hearing it in this kind of music.
I live in Arkansas, and I've worked in southern Louisiana as a Lineman for hurricane restoration, and I had the time of my life there. I love Louisiana!
this is as traditional as it gets here in south Louisiana. A party that truly rocks the house, good people, good beer, and dam good crawfish. pinch me , peel me, and eat me!!!
@005658able It's interesting that the Acadiens of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island (Ile Royale!) still speak a French that's remarkably similar to that spoken in the Delta, and they have the same love of a good fiddle-fest, accompanied by superb and fresh shellfish.
Growing up as a southeast LA Cajun and moving to the Southwestern La Cajuns, this music , dancing, revelry captures the earthy, essence of our culture. Great Job.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. JESUS CHRIST IS LORD
Being a Parisian living in Provence I'm not used to some "tournures" of Cajun French, but as you'll agree I hope I wasn't too far off.
I still hear : "Vas-tu te marier, avec une fiancée", instead of "Quand tu te marier avec une vilaine fille" or "jolie fille" however ; oh well... :) Great and funny Cajun song :)
O parlez-nous à boire, non pas de mariage, toujours en regrenant nos jolis temps passés. Si que tu te maries avec une jolie fille, T'es dans des grands dangers, On va la voler O parlez-nous à boire, non pas de mariage, toujours en regrenant nos jolis temps passés. Si que tu te maries avec une vilaine fille, T'es dans des grands dangers, Faundra que tu fais ta vie avec.
@friend5001 Dad, speak to us of drinking, not of marriage. Always in regret, our best days gone. When you marry a pretty girl, your are in big danger of them stealing her.
... when you marry an ugly girl, you are in danger of having to spend the rest of your life with her.
- Ah, parlez-nous à boire! - Non pas du mariage, - Toujours en regrettant le jour qui a passé! - Vas-tu te marier - Avec une fiancée? - (Cajun undecipherable equivalent of French 'Tu es en') grand danger, - Il va te la voler! - Vas-tu te marier - Avec une fiancée? - (Same undecipherable equivalent of French 'Tu es en') grand danger - (undecipherable) parti avec!
So far the Parisian that I am has been able to understand the following verses : - Ah parlez-nous à boire, non pas du mariage! - Toujours regrettant le jour qui (a passé?) va passer - Vas-tu te marier avec un(e) fiancé(e)? - (Tu cours) un grand danger, on (il?) va te la voler! -Hey Tell us (stories that are) about drinking - Not about wedding -Always regretting the day to come by - Are you gonna marry - Some Fiancé(e)? - You are in great danger - one (he?) 's gonna steal him(her?) from you
@friend5001 In fact it seems that Dewey is repeating his stance all along the song ; there's only one verse that I can't understand, and that I haven't transcripted in my last post, the very last one.
I can understand the end "...est parti(e) avec" (...Has gone away with him(her?)), but not the beginning, sorry...
In fact, if boudin noir is exactly blood sausage (aka black pudding), boudin blanc has nothing to do and is a paste of minced "white" meats (veal and chicken mostly) plus some other ingredients, in sausage shape ; the receipe and quality of ingredients make it taste between disguting (most) and delicious.
Anyway it's the shape of the sausage that gives it its "boudin" name, large in diameter, blanc being the color, cajuns had guessed :).
when they was cleaning the hog, the reason they were keeping the blood and intestines was because they were gonna make some thing called blood boudain. blood boudain is a cajun food where they stuff the intestines with meat, rice, peppers, seasoning, and sometimes the blood, if you didnt already know. it's actually reall good, i've eaten it many times. im from louisiana, and still here.
@selenagomez9119 I was stationed with a Cajun that claimed "We Cajuns eat anything that don't eat us first!". I miss the bayou. I've had boudain too and it's good! Don't forget the Trappey's!
Anyone ever have something touch them & not understand how? well i totally feel that way about Louisiana and it's music, food, and history.... was blessed enough to visit for two days last year... pray to go back... it will always remain w/ me, in my heart and in my soul. Thank you for sharing this.
@bex650 Your right about the people and the music, I'm from the bayou's of Louisiana and I miss it alot but I don't miss the "Heat" (lol) but ya talkin about some people who "Love to Party" and just have a good-ole-time,, sincerely David Beauclair...
I know nothing about it, but I love any Cajun music I've heard on movies, a few songs on radio. Been on jobsites where drywallers had tapes of Cajun songs. Could listen to it all day. A few Cajuns still speak French even today, right?
One of those films that never became recognised as a classic but will always stay in my memory.
I don't think the film has a good ending though even when Hardin and Spencer recognise the star on the truck. A film that leaves you wondering, no doubt.
I confess I never heard of the Cajuns prior to this. It may have been bad advertising. Nevertheless, I do love the pairing of menace and attraction in the movie. One wants to know more.
@Ophiuchus123456789 YES!! I was always skeptical about the ending. Even though the Guard units seemed to be arriving to help the last to guardsman, there was something ominous about how you never actually SAW any of the faces of the arriving infantry. Almost like it was a trick, being played by the "bad" Cajuns.
The lady's French accent at 2:46 ruins the scene. It's so Americanized and not natural. Check out my videos to see how we really speak here in Louisiana.
@ryko26 Because they live in very remote swamps, so in other words, they arent exactly rolling with Wendys and King-Supers. They have to hunt for their food, they have to chop wood for their houses to stay warm, they have to work to survive.
I agree, New Orleans shoud be an independent from the U.S. Now give back all that FEMA money and send the Army Corps of Engineers home so you can rebuild your levees.
@maxinebootie Cajuns are not in New Orleans really. They mostly reside in the southwestern part of the state, if you had to choose the largest city, it would probably be Lafayette
That's the way to slaughter pigs! you have to slit the throat while it's still kicking, before the blood coagulates. and i bet every pig would like to die in the comfort of their own home, not driven for miles to be killed in a stressful slaugther house. and if you think it's inhumane, think about how a wolf or a lion kills.
Another movie like this, showing the clash of cultures and a lot of stress: White Dawn, also excellent, although as I recall there is not quite the Eskimo equivalent for la musique des cajuns.
Though the plots are different, I know a couple of movies with a few great Cajun music in them..."Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" and probably not a very well known one that I LOVE is "Passion Fish". Its set in Louisiana and there are some great Cajun songs. It's about an actress who is paralyzed in an accident in New York, so she goes back to her Lousiana bayou home where she drowns her sorrows with wine. It's a character study about her and the asst. she hires for help.
This is an interesting film, dealing as it does with the idea of (supposedly) 'civilsed urban man' and his rapid breakdown into the forces of savagery when confonted with the struggle for his very survival.. In this scene, they think they have found sanctuary in the bosom of those who appear 'normalised', or so they think..
I clicked the little icon for "I like this", and the results so far are 338 liked, 8 disliked. So who are the 8 morons that don't appreciate this classic movie and the fantastic music?
Let's talk of drinking, not of marriage, Always regretting those pretty days gone by. If you marry a pretty girl, They all want to steal her away from you. If you marry an ugly girl, You've got to live with her your whole life long. If you marry a poor girl, You'll spend all your life working. But if you marry a rich girl, Nobody respects you. "Tell me about it, you big good - for nothing; You've used up all my wealth!"
the guy dancing in the blue hat is some mover,he nips outside to hoist the cray fish out ,back in to dance then back out to hoist the pig,then back to dance.
Cajuns", or Acadians, are a group of (predominately) French dialect speaking peoples living in the State of Louisiana in the US (with smaller numbers in, but not restricted to, New England and Nova Scotia). Without going into great detail, we (the British) forced them out of Acadia, in Canada, (hence the name) which I believe is now a part of Nova Scotia, in the middle of the 1700's, during the Anglo-French wars. Cajun ethnicity is recognised in the US.
L'Acadie = le Nouveau-Brunswick, la Nouvelle-Écosse et l'Île du Prince-Édouard (l'Île Saint-Jean sous le régime français). Trop de bonnes terres pour que les Bostonnais y laissent des Frenchies. Allez, zou, tous expulsés !
@zozottine Je parle et je lis un peu le français (If you have ever watched "Allo Allo", I am the stupid Englisman who thinks he can speak French). Êtes-vous Cajun ou en Français(e)

'La Dance Des Mardi Gras' and (I think) 'Drunkards Waltz' are in the end scene of the movie (not necessarily theis clip)
TheIrishAreTheBest 1 year ago
@TheMarcelhansen1 - my mistake 'Laccassine' is actually a song at the end of SC, not 'Drunkards Waltz'
TheIrishAreTheBest 1 year ago
@TheIrishAreTheBest Neither is Lacassine. First song is Parlez Nous A Boire, second is Eunice Two Step

I think some people forget that they cant walk right down the street to king-supers and pig out. They have to work from dusk till dawn to survive.
blackopsrule 1 year ago
@blackopsrule why do they have to?
ryko26 1 year ago
@ryko26 Because they live in very remote swamps, so in other words, they arent exactly rolling with Wendys and King-Supers. They have to hunt for their food, they have to chop wood for their houses to stay warm, they have to work to survive.

Hey, yogi da bear,
I agree, New Orleans shoud be an independent from the U.S. Now give back all that FEMA money and send the Army Corps of Engineers home so you can rebuild your levees.

@maxinebootie Cajuns are not in New Orleans really. They mostly reside in the southwestern part of the state, if you had to choose the largest city, it would probably be Lafayette

That's the way to slaughter pigs! you have to slit the throat while it's still kicking, before the blood coagulates. and i bet every pig would like to die in the comfort of their own home, not driven for miles to be killed in a stressful slaugther house. and if you think it's inhumane, think about how a wolf or a lion kills.

Another movie like this, showing the clash of cultures and a lot of stress: White Dawn, also excellent, although as I recall there is not quite the Eskimo equivalent for la musique des cajuns.

I've just got done watching this again, and funnily enough Deliverance before that.
What other Movies are there that are in the same vein as this that i might have missed?
Thanks.

Though the plots are different, I know a couple of movies with a few great Cajun music in them..."Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" and probably not a very well known one that I LOVE is "Passion Fish". Its set in Louisiana and there are some great Cajun songs. It's about an actress who is paralyzed in an accident in New York, so she goes back to her Lousiana bayou home where she drowns her sorrows with wine. It's a character study about her and the asst. she hires for help.

This is an interesting film, dealing as it does with the idea of (supposedly) 'civilsed urban man' and his rapid breakdown into the forces of savagery when confonted with the struggle for his very survival.. In this scene, they think they have found sanctuary in the bosom of those who appear 'normalised', or so they think..

marvelmax03191 1 year ago
Cajuns", or Acadians, are a group of (predominately) French dialect speaking peoples living in the State of Louisiana in the US (with smaller numbers in, but not restricted to, New England and Nova Scotia). Without going into great detail, we (the British) forced them out of Acadia, in Canada, (hence the name) which I believe is now a part of Nova Scotia, in the middle of the 1700's, during the Anglo-French wars. Cajun ethnicity is recognised in the US.

@blagger56
L'Acadie = le Nouveau-Brunswick, la Nouvelle-Écosse et l'Île du Prince-Édouard (l'Île Saint-Jean sous le régime français). Trop de bonnes terres pour que les Bostonnais y laissent des Frenchies. Allez, zou, tous expulsés !
