Dawn McGhee This is the kind of film that will make any good human being angry and sad but it also tells the pain and hardships of black people in america the cruelty and the abuse of slavery in this country thank you for sharing it .
Hello Dawn Mcghee,I am JOSE VALLE PARREÑO,I was the dual oficial in the film,it was a long time ago,but the film,works as a piece of history.I am glad you made it real again in youtube.
OMG!!!!!! THANK YOU for posting this film!!!! I searched for years for it. My mother was in this movie. She's in the placage, ballroom dance scene. My mom said that producers scouted local high schools for creole girls and came to her high school, Xavier Prep and invited them to play extras. Well you can imagine everybody was excited to be in a movie, then after it was shot my mom found out what the ballroom scene was all about and she was mad and cried and told my grandmother, "they got me playing a whore!!! A whore!!!" She says she was very dramatic about the whole thing. Lololol, I love when she tells this story. Now she enjoys the memory because of the history and the blaxploitation aspect of the film.
@darla I'm african america,native American and French I'm from new Orleans we have many colors from the deep black to the fairest with curl and wavy hair...idk we were always said to have good hair didnt understand until middle school it made me stand out more ugh at first now I'm in love
Synopsis - In 1835, in New Orleans, wealthy, married Creole men can buy quadroon women and set them up in second households, where the women, trained in the arts of sexual pleasure, serve as their mistresses.
I think they did it more when they were unmarried, and then they dabbled in it when they married. For what it's worth, the French almost openly had mistresses in France, white and black women alike. Blacks were free by law there. Also, the French seriously had a problem settling New Orleans, as it was so beset by tropical diseases and hurricanes. They literally brought in prisoners and prostitutes at first, as people were so very reluctant to come here because of the dangers. (I have lived in New Orleans for a year now, and read much of its history, and know a lot more than most locals about it, simply as I've taken the time to do so, because of my love for the city.) Women of Color could survive the tropical diseases better, as they had already developed a relative immunity to them and were also more tolerant of the heat. That's a large part of why they were sought after by the Creoles, and the mothers arranged placage with the wealthy men; they didn't just set them up with any man who wanted to buy them, as they and their daughters were "free people of color." (Of course, Creoles could buy black women and use them as mistresses, but that's not the topic here.) The women would receive houses, money, and schooling for their children in France, where they would become free men, all under enforcement of a contract. Don't misunderstand, I am not saying this was not a racist system, but just that it was not as simple as you make it sound, and that in French/Creole society mistresses and people of color were not looked down upon such as they were in the rest of the South. There were not that many marriages based on pure love back then, either--It depended a lot on a person's wealth and position, and, of course, the laws did not favor white women, either. They did not even have the right to vote until the 1920s, we must recall. Not that they didn't have more rights in society, mind you, than women of Color, but people tend to forget that it was a totally different time, and women, as well as many minorities, were not treated with equality.
@@lisellesloan3191 Yes, we are very aware times were different then and though better things are still messed up for people of color. History is HIS STORY therefore, many things are not in books but the oral history that takes place in our culture is priceless. As a HBCU Professor at a University there are many aspects missing from your brief yet most likely white HISTORY references . A movie created in 1971 is taken with a grain of salt. Telling us our history or correcting someone about our history is like playing with fire... be mindful and stay in your lane. Sincerely, Born, raised, and a present resident of Louisiana. 😉
Credits indicate: actress Kathrine McKee is the star of this movie. She is indeed the lesser known actress turned agent/producer & sister of actress Lonette McKee. Kathrine was also the mistress of entertainer Sammy Davis Jr., and claims to have been a RAPE victim of actor/producer and convicted RAPIST Bill Cosby.
Dear Dawn. Thank you for sharing this very sad and tragic story. I am glad it had the realistic ending that makes a statement that we should never forget; the obstacles to making a more perfect union are ancient in origin and therefore institutionalized and systemic. To end the violent sexual and other abuses of women it will take more than a few good men, it will take us all.
I left my ex after he insisted that light skinned and mixed women are feminine and darker women are masculine. This man was a self described "melinated king" it turned me off from him entirely
A Mother's Love. Look WHAT and HOW Celeste sacrificed and laid her own life on the line, in exchange for her daughter's freedom. And yes. There "ARE" Father's that do the same. A "Parent's" Love.
This story highlights the harsh reality of these partnerships. The mixed kids today tell love stories on the history of how they got here today. When in reality they are products of much of what was show in this film.
@@yansatoussaint2266 yes. Great movie. Probably the best one I've ever seen that approached the subject - in great detail and showing many perspectives might I say
Excellent & wonderful Movie... I just can not think about all the black people I heard call them self creole {1/2 Creole} when I was young, just because they had what they call back in the days 'good hair"...I guess we did not know they was really QUADROON.....a step higher than a slave.
This sad movie proves just how important money is. He loved her, but didn't have the money to buy her from a vicious predator...and therefore couldn't keep her safe, or protect her from harm. I understand women who choose money over love.... Because one can never be happy while being in love and unsafe. I have married a man that I am deeply in love with, but he also has the resources to keep our family safe during the changing tides of life. Love and money, is the winning combination ladies...Please do not accept one without the other! However if a choice absolutely must be made...choose money, it will always protect you. As this tale, clearly demonstrated.
Ya mean the same God who allowed it to happen? It's funny how y'all give God credit, like the arsonist who sets a fire and then claims credit for being a part of the volunteer fire department that puts it out. (sigh)
How sad the ending. I really hoped they would escape, especially after what happened to the mother. So, the poor young lady is now a slave and her lover lies dead.
OMG I can't believe the ending of this movie! it was a great movie but surely they could have thought of a better ending than that it is so gut-wrenchingly sad.😢 I can't believe Caleb died in The duel. but thank you for posting it I've been wanting to see that other for a long time
@@user-jd4qy1fd6m It really is. Going off with a poor white man only complicated her life. It seems it's only the poor ones that are interested unless you're black and rich.
If not for Jesus Christ dying for payment of ALL of our 🙏💓 Sins; I would NEVER be able to forgive. I'm surprised that I was able to make it through the whole film. Films like this, I usually just can't...
The question that will never get an answered,until the after life. Why have God The Holy Father allowed this Hellish Horror towards our Melanin people anyway. Of course some Hebrew Group would say,because of Deuteronomy 28 KJV Scriptures. Yeshua others say Jesus,He was beaten,tortured and killed just like our Slave Ancestors for our Sins.
You people are more concerned with proper use of the world 'Creole.' We should only be discussing these horrific prom dresses passing as period ante bellum gowns!1
I know this is a late reply lol but i totally agree! the movie was good but that and the hair styles was one of the very first things i noticed. I was like wth??
I agree with you , interestingly so, I took notice that he seemed ambiguous in his features, as if he himself was an octoroon or white passing person of colour. Intriguing.
Reason why they were running away to Jamaica in 1935 is because that was the only place in the world that was free...not even Ethiopia. Ethiopia just stop having slavery in about 1920's last place in modern world. And we say only whites had slaves? We thank God for the Ras Haile selassie.
Because New Orleans indeed all Louisiana was originally French the mistress concept was acceptable. Because mixed women were considered the most lovely even beautiful and sensual after the encumber stTe was sold to America , the culture continued. A step above the ordinary slave daughter or son taken at will in the north or south. A viable presentation of realities of a time. Yet continuing under social alteration and variation in time. Despite so called taboos and mores of quasi moralists. 👌🏾🧕🏿
@@reinaguzman9030 I’m not creole and I have native heritage also. I know my history. You also have what they call black “Indians” because they were forced to choose one or the other. Not both. Bet the school system don’t teach kids that though.
Chris Parker, if you don't mind me saying I think you are referring to The Cajun People. They are also of French decent and a great many people get them confused with The Creole People as they live in the same area of America; that is New Orleans. But unlike the creoles they are not of mixed decent just purely of white French decent. I just wanted to put it out there for you.
chris parker I know you're trying to be smart and all, but I'm going to have to burst your bubble of crap In the US, Creole is used to describe triracial/yellow skinned people or something that is mixed. In Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida it's taken a step further and is an actual culture. Also, in the US, Latino is used to describe people of Latin American descent, mostly mestizos. The US didn't feel like creating dozens of different categories in their census, so they decided to categorize all Spanish speaking Brown people as Latino or Hispanic. American English is a Creole dialect/dialect family. You're are applying old world/foreign definitions to modern American English words, which is incredibly stupid, and isn't how language/dialects work. By your logic rooted languages/dialects don't exist.
At the 55:00 mark--you go, girl, it's about time you appreciated this man! And you've got a bit of cellulite and some flab, and you are still beyond stunning! At 56:00, those are PG kisses, man, you must have a girlfriend.
Were the white French men called Creole in the 1830's? I wonder if the movie maker got that wrong. As today Creole in Louisiana means people of mixed heritage. Black, white(French), native American, and sometimes a bit of Spanish, since Louisiana was a colony of Spain before it was a colony of France. Now Cajuns are French and Native American heritage, so they are a bit different than Creoles.
Perhaps you're right. I have not a clue about the research team of the film company that produced this film. With the technology today vs. yesteryear... we know much more.... are better educated... and have access to information
As in many other colonial societies around the world, creole was a term used to mean those who were "native-born", especially native-born Europeans such as the French and Spanish. Later it came to be applied to African-descended slaves and Native Americans who were born in Louisiana of mixed race.
Melva Wages The word Criollo “creole” actually meant European men born in Louisiana and not in their homeland of France. There was a caste system and the different terms given to people determined their ranking in society. Today the term creole refers to mixed race people from Louisiana.
Cajun means Acadian who come from Canada. This film is correct in terminology. After slavery ended the white Creoles started to call themselves Cajun to make a distinction between themselves and Black Creoles.
Creole or Criollo in Spanish originally meant a European born in the Americas, as opposed to Europeans born in Europe (who were called peninsulares in Spanish). The term was a part of French, Spanish, and Portuguese culture of the time. It seems that after the Civil War the term Creole began to be used to refer to the free mixed race people in Louisiana who had previously been known as gens de couleur.
So the B word male female and other scenes I don’t view “ am I grown in your eyes now “ . Those words and viewing such things don’t make y grown . Humanity faith and believeing is Godliness and adulthood 😇😇😇😇🦹🏾♂️👌🏾🧕🏿
