it a shame that deliverance be mainly know a the redneck rape movie and for duel banjo . even people that have see the film can not get their mind off of that rape scene . it not as bad a the rape scene in pulp fiction . it certainly not as bad a any female rape scene in just about any movie . people tend to miss the power of the film that contain the infamous buggery scene . the acting and plot and cinematography and and soundtrack of deliverance all lend a hand to it brood charisma . the backcountry it be shoot in be beautiful and be quite in contrast to the dark subject matter . the actor both major and minor make you feel like you be raft down that river right along with them . the thing that separate this film from others be the tangible sense of dread that it inspire . not many film can make you feel this creep out . bottom line represent this movie be a classic . i can not really say much more than that .
