Deliverance

1972John Boorman

4.8/5

The Cahulawassee River valley in Northern Georgia is one of the last natural pristine areas of the state, which will soon change with the imminent building of a dam on the river, which in turn will flood much of the surrounding land. As such, four Atlanta city dwellers, alpha male Lewis Medlock, Ed Gentry, Bobby Trippe, and Drew Ballinger, decide to take a multi-day canoe trip on the river, with only Lewis and Ed having experience in outdoor life. They know going in that the area is isolated. Their relatively peaceful trip takes a turn for the worse halfway through with river rapids and unwelcoming locals. The four need to battle their way out of the valley and are asked to do things they never thought possible within themselves.

Decline of Rural & Middle America

Exploration of the culture of rural and middle America. There's a connection to be made between the economic decline and a perceived moral decline. You can see this theme in the background of some films made around the recession in the 1970s, as well as some made around the 2008 crash.

New Hollywood Era

Mid-1960s to 1980s, and possibly several movements depending on what you read. Spaghetti Westerns, Commedia all'italiana, and French New Wave are doing great in American cinemas, and "traditional Hollywood" is on the decline. Studios turn to new writers and directors to try to capture the "European Phenomenon." This is the beginning of the great 1970s revolution of American film: technological advancements, anti-establishment politics, counter culture and liberalization of sexuality, and the later rise of major blockbuster films
