why is it called 'Farewell to the Flesh'
I enjoyed this sequel it was entertaining enough for me, though I didn't understand why its called "Farewell to the Flesh" could someone tell me why.
The film takes place during New Orleans' Mardi Gras carnival. The word carnival comes from the Late Latin expression carne vale, which means "farewell to meat," signifying that those were the last days when one could eat meat before the fasting of Lent. Another translation depicts carne vale as "a farewell to the flesh," a phrase embraced by certain carnival celebrations that encourage letting go of your former (or everyday) self, and embracing the carefree nature of the festival.

Well obviously the movie takes place during Mardi Gras so...THAT'S what it has to do with Candyman...
The short one's gawking at me and the tall one's being very droll.
Because in part 1 he says farewell to the flesh!:)
shareThe carnival is meerly the setting, the reason Candyman is hanging around is to exact revenge on those who have covered up the family secret, the secret that Candyman had a child to a white girl back in the slavery days and that the female protagonist is his descendant.
shareBecause everyone he kills is forced to say 'farewell to the flesh'. :P
In a metaphorical, ghost-departing sort of way. LOL.
So is that why Canyman killed Annie's mother? Because she was trying to cover up his story and their attachment to his bloodline?
