As I understand it - (According to those elite, high'n'mighty "snobs-of-cinema") - Deliverance ranks right up there as being a true treasure of American film-making from the early 1970's. And, if one dares to speak out disrespectfully against this much-lauded cinematic treasure they are, of course, automatically labelled (by those "snobs") as being an oaf and a despicable heathen for doing so. With all of the macho-man "ball-scratching" that takes place in this ultimate "buddy" picture (especially from the likes of Burt Reynolds) - I guess that I can (sort of) understand why this film is so highly praised and endlessly revered (even to this very day, nearly 50 years later). But, if you ask me - Deliverance has got to be yet another one of those utterly inferior, puzzling, and over-rated pictures that is repeatedly defended to the death by those "self-righteous snobs" who still choose to view it through the haze of rose-coloured glasses.
