deliverance be the fascinating and haunting and sometimes even disturb tale by james dickey and turn into a brilliant movie by john boorman . it about four businessmen and drive by manhood and macho behavior and whore spending a canoe weekend high up in the mountain . up there and theyre face with every dark side of man and every bad form of human misery . poverty and buggery and even physical harassment . these four men intend to travel down the river for adventure and excitement but their trip soon change into an odyssey through a violent and lurk mountain land and completely estrange from all form of civilisation . all these element actually make deliverance one of the most nightmarish film i have ever see . just about everything that happen to these men and you pray that you will never find yourself to be in a similar situation . pure talk cinema and deliverance be a very important movie a well . john boorman best ( closely follow by zardoz and excalibur ) be and still be a very influential film and it contain several memorable scene that already feature in numberless other movie . just think about the terrific duel banjos musical score and and of course and the unforgettable homosexual squeal like a pig rape scene . all the actor deliver ( haha ) perfect act performance . especially jon voight . a must see motion picture .
