I need this Dutch sentence translated to English, please: De flinterdunne plot van deze film is veel amusanter  of misschien zou het amusanter zijn als je het origineel had gezien (ook'moet je zien'), maar de plot is NIET waar het om gaat. Ik ben in de eerste helft van deze eeuw in New Orleans geboren, en ik heb bedroefd toegekeken hoe de muziek die ik als kind heb leren kennen en liefhebben stilletjes is gestorven (square, Don McLean).Van Taj Mahals ongelooflijk aardse, cappella vertolking van 'John the Revelator' (later gevolgd door een volledige koorrepetitie in wat voor mij het hoogtepunt van de film was) tot de buitensporig over-de-top-opening 'battle of the bands'.

The paper-thin plot of this movie is much more amusing -- or perhaps much closer to being amusing would be more accurate -- if you saw the original (also a "must-have"), but the plot is NOT the point. I was born in New Orleans in the first half of this century, and I have watched sadly as the music I came to know and love as a child has quietly died (pace, Don McLean).From Taj Mahal's incredibly earthy, a cappella rendition of "John the Revelator" (later given a full-chorus reprise in what, for me, was the zenith of the movie) to the outrageously over-the-top closing "battle of the bands" encore, the music IS the Mississippi, from new Orleans thru Memphis to St. Louis and thence to Chicago (culturally, even if not geographically, a child of "The Father of Waters").
