1 kudogive kudos what's this?

No movie has had such a profound impact on American culture than "Deliverance." Not only did it lauch the careers of four relatively unknown actors, but it also changed what young folks did for fun. Before Deliverance, the great outdoors was considered to be the realm of Boy Scouts, deer hunters, and park rangers. Overnight, it became cool for guys to ask gals to go hiking, camping or canoeing for a date. Outdoor recreation shops sprang up around the country. This form of recreation had primarily been confined to the Boy Scouts section of Sears-Roebuck department stores. Tourism exploded in mountainous areas around the United States. It has been forty years since the filming of Deliverance. See if you remember any trivia from this unexpected blockbuster!

My test and blog probably flying right over the heads of all those under 40 on this website. However, I don't think the younger generation realize how much the American lifestyle changed right after Deliverance. To think that this blockbuster movie was so underfunded that they couldn't afford insurance or stunt men! I don't even recall much of a film crew being on the site. In other movies that have been filmed near me, there were hundreds of people performing support roles for the production. The cast's catering consisted of a girl friend of one of the actors going to the local barbecue restaurant and getting a bag of barbecue sandwiches, french fries and cokes to go. LOL Almost all of our environmental organizations originated during that period, as did Mother Earth News.

Y'all be good hear?
