Thoughts
I appreciated the hard work and actors and film crew had to endure to shoot all those genuine rapids scenes. It was nice to see what Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight and Ned Beatty looked like in their prime. Those were the only good qualities I could find in this movie.
'Deliverance' made no sense, was poorly directed, and probably started the lazy stereotyping of rural U.S. Southerners in movies. The famous 'Dueling Banjos' music became annoyingly repeated throughout the movie. Lastly, I found Ned Beatty's infamous 'squeal like a pig' rape scene somewhat disturbing, but underwhelming.
I just did not get this movie.
What I would change
No idea.
