Deliverance: graveyard scene

[opinionatedinc]

Y'all stay out a rabun county now, yuns heer. I gonna rape yo ass too if i see ya dumb assed toorists pokin round my place, purdy boy.

[jamincow11]

They are about to flood the valley. I am a SCUBA Diver at Lake Jocassee and just thi past weekend, I got to see that very spot. The graveyard is 140 feet underwater and beleive me, it is absolutely UNBELEIVABLE.

[vhsonacomeback]

I never understood the significance of this scene. Can someone explain to me why they are burying/moving all of these coffins?

[Telelikeitis]

@vhsonacomeback They are moving the bodies because of the new dam they built. The area will be under water.

[Doyouknowhowmuchusuc]

@vhsonacomeback the purpose is because the area is going to be flooded and they have to relocate the bodies.....

[fackrexblock]

squeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal piggy. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[WilliamDRowlett]

If the inbred men in this movie get a divorce from their wife, are they still brother and sister?

[dontrll947]

i cant sound as smart as the guy under me did but what i can say is a chunky guy got raped in the woods

[skychurchify]

Wow, nice haunting scene, an omen? considering his situation at that moment, having to leave the others behind while he went for help. Great movie!!

[ThucydidesTzu]

Does anyone have the name of the song the banjo is playing...or is it just playing random notes. It's beautiful though

[attakula]

Thats Bootleg Mountain on what became Lake Jocassee behind John Voight. There is a white sand beach cove at its base today where I often swim. Get your native on and get out there! Google / Bing > Lake Jocassee Vacation for area info.

[lineuss]

@wildshotsintheair

check my other videos or search "Jocassee graveyard dive"

Thanks for looking ;)

[EmperorofCartoons]

As someone who lives in this area, although the movie kinda blends it together seamlessly, the town where Deliverance happened (Around Clayton, Georgia.) and this cemetery (And lake Jocassee.) are actually fairly far apart. Much further than one gets the feel for in the movie.

[infrafan]

My childhood home. Still like to go swimming there ever Summer if I can swing the time. So many good memories.

[FafiLPDoll]

This movie wouldn't scare me from the backwoods. But Chainsaw Massacre did. "Hey, wanna go on a roadtrip through the backwoods of America?" "Nah... I'm good."

But its interesting that this scene was actually real. This place actually exists underwater? Wow, looks like accurate depiction to me. ;)

Much further than one gets the feel for in the movie. They are, however, real places and that graveyard is still there, under the lake.

[JordansHomeMovies]

Lake Joccassee correct?

[lineuss]

Folks I posted this video as an illustration or comment for our dive to that place couple of years ago. You can watch my underwater footage where all open graves and even the tree across the graveyard are clearly seen. It has nothing to do with scare and piggies as some of you suggesting here. Personally I am not fond of that movie but I like to know that exactly this graveyard which is now covered with 140 ft of dark water can be visited in scuba diving equipment and I did it once.

[greymilton]

I don't remember this scene (probably too scarred from the "piggy" scene) but what was happening here? Were they burying the caskets or digging them up because of the land that was to be flooded?

[justarandomguy80]

@greymilton This scene was at the very end of the movie. The area where the plot takes place was about to dammed up to make a lake. Graves were being excavated so they wouldn't be under water.

This was a scene that helped tie the entire movie together. After Burt shot the hillbilly with the bow and arrow, he was talking of disposing the body in the area because it was about to become a lake. It was about to be buried underneath a lake "hundreds of feet deep".

[greymilton]

@justarandomguy80 Great thanks for the info. I do remember Burt talking about burying the guy he killed. Scary stuff.

[ffjdkaue]

lol

[nylonbird]

YEAH!!!! Live there!!!!---Been down that river a few times too :)

Chatooga!!!!!!!!!

But the mtn. folk aint that scary lol-They are actually very nice lol and many are very intelligent--they just prefer simplicity---mtn. hippies however, are the one you need to watch out for lol

[4freespeech]

"whole lack of good water and abundance of inbreeding"? Man you sure as hell are one sick city f*ck! This movie was to scare you pitiful @ssholes away from that crystal clear mountain water, (some of the purest on earth) and the REAL mountain people, who have a moral code way superior to the feral dogs in heat that are the scum who roam the big cities! The people up in the hills are NOTHING like those portrayed in this work of fiction. You should be SCARED to live in the city!

[djg3996]

@4freespeech I agree with you.  I have lived in both rural areas and the city. I have met both good and bad people from both areas. However, on average, I feel that people from rural areas are much more civilized, friendly and respectful of others.

[KikiC423]

lol u guys wanna see a place just like on this movie? come down to Wheeler Mtn in SouthEast TN. I went driving through the back roads up there one day, just out of curiosity.. Scaaary places back in there. Luckily we still have internet up where i live, but it's scary when you're too far from civilization to get help if you need it. that and the whole lack of good water and abundance of inbreeding is pretty freaky too.. lol

[JacSPierce]

lol

[dodggerman]

RE drjohnprestons comment about rape scenes especially graphic ones he totally hit the nail on the head with his comments. Though the actual film Deliverance was great apart from that disturbing scene, I even felt sorry for the guy til I remembered it was just acting.

[crbdudeman]

You won't see any of this shit in SC. Never.

[EZLNbrother]

"In 2008, Deliverance was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.'" i found this on wikipedia. lol

[broofer666]

blah blah blah.still an awsome fuckin movie

[hskrfnatic]

What an outstanding movie.

Great acting, cinematography, sound...

It's a shame most people poke fun at the most obvious.

This was one of the best character studies ever.

[logarock]

As far as character studies, this move rests heavily on stereotyping and actual contributed greatly to the stereotyping of the hill folk. This flick also lacks and real substance but relies primarily on the contrast of cultures and the ambiance. It should be ranked as a type of horror movie rather than any type of sociological examination. The movie simply is a creation of characters more in line with a B flick like saw Chain Saw Massacre for the IQ over 120. Simply a fear of the dark movie.

[melymbrosia]

"this move rests heavily on stereotyping and actual contributed greatly to the stereotyping of the hill folk"

I'm so glad someone has pointed this out. In Appalachian studies, this movie is widely regarded as containing the single worst and most stereotyped depiction of mountain people. 30 years later, these prejudices are still alive and well. Shameful.

[Sh0nin]

You say it as if those prejudices weren't there long before.

[coldironhands1]

you guys act like they're stereotypes there's actually towns in northern appalachia i've visited that are ver detached from modern education, ways, and fashions... now I'm sure there's a few homosexuals in them.but they live in wooden houses without indoor plumbing and sometimes heat or communications lines. no cell phone towers either, some people talk with CB's, you can go to the sherrif station and use a CB to call town

[DaymYankees]

LOL you oviously aint been livin there all ye life... I now live somewhat close to some towns, (In Georgia), but for centuries my family lived in the DEEP woods of this land. (Minus the whole pig squeal scene), this in many ways acuratly depicts what the DEEP woods peple live like. My great-grandfather and great grandmother was cusins, and so were many of the mariages. About 5/6 of my whole famly is inbred, and about 1/7 of em have genetic defisinsies like that boy did in the banjo scene.

[melymbrosia]

No, not all my life, only eight years in Kentucky. But people who are born and bred Kentuckians have a problem with outsiders thinking of them based on movies like these. My problem with this movie (and not just this one) is that most Americans agree it's wrong to judge a whole group of people based on where they live, or their skin color, or their religion. The only exception seems to be hillbillies. Why is it okay to depict them as monsters, like in this movie?

[armitius66]

@melymbrosia During the 1930s there was a mass sterilization of folks down there. The Eugenics movement was omitted from American history and made to look as if the Nazis were the first and only nation to do such a thing.

[DJDesikari]

goddamn that grammar, but thanks for the story, you've enlightened the justification of this movie. Just a quick question...are you a member of that 5/6'ths.

[CHARLIExISxAWESOME]

for some reason i sense a little pride in that

[drjohnpreston]

my friend showed the the rape thing on here, for fuck knows what reason, and it put me off seeing the entire thing. it seems like a great film from what i read about it, as did the book, but i personally find rape that graphic disturbing and that it ruins films, like the halloween remake for one. although i guess im just part of a small minority who the finds that shit unbearably horrible.

[dumbbina]

it's acting, AND actually Ned Beatty directed that scene and that's how he played it... It made him a star

[rangerchallengebravo]

When was someone raped in one of the Halloween movies?

[drjohnpreston]

the halloween remake, by rob zombie.

[KikiC423]

on the Director's Cut of the first movie.

[mattjr667]

@rangerchallengebravo in the unrated dvd, two guards rape a female patient leading to michael myers escape from the asylum. In the theatre, he escapes from five guards while being transported, killing them all.

[Metheril]

why were they moving the graves (i have never seen the whole movie)

[robicool]

valley was flooded, to make a resevoir

[archeeizm]

[eggstorypkin]

[hayseed6969]

NORTH GEORGIA

[burkburke]

what are they doing?

[ChevyTrucks352]

Moving the graves. A dam is being built, and all of that is about to be hundreds of feet underwater.

[pinkfloydguy123]

tennesee

[D54BH64WB72]

Georgia

[d983394]

what state was this movie taking place in

I know it's the ozarks but what part?

[lineuss]

it is Jocassee valley in SC close to NC and GA borders

[badltbud]

its chatoog river in murray couty ellijay GA the scene where their digging the graves is real you can visit it not but its about 600 ft under carters lake. the deepest lake in Georgia.

[thenifeelnothing]

GEORGIA = NORTH EAST GA TO BE EXACT the chatooga river. it is absofucinlutley beautiful.......... but bring your pistol :-)

[spaceman1979]

Why bring the pistols? Did some gool ol' mountain boys try to ass rape you as well?

[hueygunner2000]

actually...the ozarks are in the central part of the u.s. (missouri, eastern oklahoma..etc) this movie takes place in the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains. beautiful country...as long as you don't resemble a pig..like ned beatty did in this movie.

[rescue2cop]

you can scuba dive that graveyard now if your ever in upstate sc

[lineuss]

check my other video from graveyard)

[rescue2cop]

i have it was great I show it to my open water students to motivate them to work towards advanced then tech.

[tonimuck]

My husband used to teach scuba diving and told me about whole towns underwater. It was errie, with streets, houses, cars, even furniture in the homes. Like something out of a fantasy.

[56LC]

The price of progress, I guess that explains why the Mountain people resent the 4 City Slickers enjoying the river before the dam is built.

[KKKTRES]

ok do they all die?

[lineuss]

nope)

[KKKTRES]

well iv only seen clips.i have to rent to see all fer my yer self.thanx
