‧‧‧ One of 810Deliverance is the story of four urban dwellers from Atlanta on a weekend canoe and camping trip, totally vulnerable in the alien wild, and pit themselves against the hostile violence of nature.
I love Deliverance: slight start to a trip into unknown and potentially dangerous territory. Don’t forget the music, there is a memorable music scene, where the Drew Ballinger character plays the instrumental Dueling Banjos ( listen to Deliverance ) on his guitar with a mentally challenged mountain boy.
Deliverance (1972) is British director John Boorman‘s gripping, absorbing action-adventure film about four friends who encounter disaster in a summer weekend’s river-canoeing trip. The exciting Boorman pic, most remembered for its inspired banjo duel and the brutal, violent action (and sodomy scene), was based on James Dickey’s adaptation of his own novel.
Do know what’s gonna be here? Right here? A lake. As far as the eyes can see. Hundreds of feet deep. HUNDREDS of feet deep. Did you ever look out over a lake and think of somethin’ buried underneath it? Buried underneath it. Well man, that’s just about as buried as you can get.
