Deliverance Interviews (Ronny Cox, Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds & Ned Beatty)

[@charlescanterbury9762]

Jon Voight is a gentleman, interviewer ignored him, but he didn't try to make a fuss about it.

[@phibeslives4048]

Yeah, I'm sure the guy didn't have all the time in the world to ask questions, but it seems like Voight should have gotten more attention. He's arguably the best actor of the group.

[@jazzworth]

I know right? I'm so annoyed, I can't believe it. Really annoying :(

[@jazzworth]

I just googled Jon Voight to know more about what you said and "yuck". Still, they weren't there to talk about politics but art. If that ate up the journalist so much, he could've snick in a little comment while using the "message" of the movie or whatever. That would've been more interesting than acting a bit rude.

[@d25615]

Especially considering he was the main star.

It's a shame that Deliverance is only known for that scene. The previous hour and a half of the movie were amazing.

[@BushyHairedStranger]

I don’t agree. Imagine how hard, how compromising that scene was at that time in our world & for these particular actors?! 1972! The Rape scene is the primary conception point(no pun intended) for Deliverance, the struggle to be a MAN in the 1970’s, which was a very macho decade, was pivotal to the success of this film and Boorman cultivated the Authors words with precision. Its a far more important film than given credit for. Few grok the importance of the time period of the film and the culture it was birthed within. Every minute of Deliverance was unique and amazing. The film is like Ceililo Falls in the 1960’s, a rare beautiful spiritual place used by 1st Nations Cultures for thousands of years until the White man came & built dams that drowned the falls & the Spirit of the People who lived there completely out of being. Beneath thousands of hectares of water buried in a watery grave lives a dream of what North America once was,…the last frontier, a rare rugged beautiful place full of wildness and raw prehistoric beauty. Culture today lacks any rite of passage, it fails in its learning from its mistakes & more presciently we have lost out on our understanding of what nature truly is, it is everything! It is us!

If you have never seen this film, stop right now and watch it. It is an epic, archetypical film of the everyman (Jon Voight), the fool (Ned Beatty), the wild man (Burt Reynolds), and the civilized man (Ronny Cox). They enter a situation where to survive, the everyman must draw upon his nascent wild man, his fool, and his civilized man. He must do this or he will die. Such an epic film.

[@tonysobina8390]

That is such a good critique of what this was about. Anyone who watched this could relate to one of these characters, which made it such an intriguing movie.

[@ViaticalTree]

What makes you think Beatty was playing a fool? I didn’t get that at all. He doesn’t handle the challenging outdoor activities as well as the others, but he didn’t do anything foolish that I can recall and I just finished watching it for probably the 5th or 6th time. In fact I’d say he was the 2nd most risk-averse after Cox’s character.

[@JF-xw4ef]

@@ViaticalTreeIt’s not a “fool” in the sense that he’s stupid, it’s that he doesn’t take the endeavor seriously, he had a flippant and cavalier attitude about it. Reynold’s character sees it as a mission, Cox’s as an adventure, Beatty’s character sees it as a lark.

[@unowen334]

During this entire interview, watch how Voight has this "all knowing" and recognition of the event. You can see it in his eyes. He remains quiet, and humble, while he amongst them is the most acclaimed actor. The interviewer focuses on "Burt this," and "Burt that." Jon keeps his cool, quite impressively.

[@v-town1980]

STFU, Kim.

[@tablature6121]

Jon was the only real "down to earth" character in Deliverance, too. The contrast between Reynold's character and Voight's in the movie was part of what made it watchable, in my opinion.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Why did the interviewer somehow manage to seemingly dance around Voight? Besides being wayyy too short of an interview, the other three actors were asked about their past projects or present roles. But, Jon? Fail.

[@AnnetteGenovesi-c7h]

There was one tiny scene of one of them falling into the rapids that they HAD to use a stunter. But that was the only time in the whole movie. Jon Voight told the Director that he saved his acting life by casting him in this movie, but then he spent the next three months trying to kill him!@!!

[@knumbugs]

Interviewer's technique: read a list of questions. That's it.

[@KLUNKET]

This film has stood the test of time- Even as desensitized as society is today, this film is still as SHOCKING as it was in 1972.

[@walkergillette3918]

why was Jon Voight ignored?

[@swmita]

I like how Burt Reynolds said this was the best film he ever made. That movie was powerful on many levels, and to this day it's ranked in the top 100 movies of all time. That scene they were describing was so unexpected, I can't think of many movies that could jolt an audience like that one. Maybe some other movie goers could but as far as one scene doing it that would be hard to match. Kudos to the cast for sticking with the story line when the film crew did not want them to do it.

They don't make Great Films like this anymore.

Easily THE most haunting, famous, infamous, and unforgettable scene in the history of motion pictures. The late Bill McKinney was a close, personal friend. He was a true, humble, affable, sensitive, gentleman, and an extraordinary actor. After months of knowing him, I timidly inquired if I could ask him about that scene that he doubtlessly would be labeled and quizzed about from the moment the film was released until his passing. As the class act he always was to all who knew him, he welcomed my question. My question was, "How did such a soft and kind gentleman, find that sadistic, perverted character?" He answered, "I was imitating the bullies that used to beat me up when I was a kid." Often unmentioned and overlooked, is THE line of the movie, when Ronny Cox said, "This isn't one of your damned games, Lewis!" Then Cox turned and said to Jon Voight, "Think about this. It will be the most important decision that you ever make in your life." Burt Reynolds said to Voigt, "He's right. This IS the ,most important decision you will ever make". Then he turned to Cox and said, "But you're DAMNED wrong if you don't think this is a game." While I agree with most who've commented about the ineptitude of the interviewer, somehow he got the privilege. Being in the business myself, if I joined in the bashing, I only would be correctly accused of professional jealousy, so I'll simply say congrats for his getting the gig.

Alot of nuance in this film. You can watch it a hundred times and draw something different from it each time. I think it is classic Americana. The rape scene at the time, was so utterly shocking that it hit raw nerves at the time. But, it does help clarify that rape isn't about sex, it's about power and control. I take my hat of to the actors and everyone involved in creating this film. It is in my collection and I still watch it regularly. A brilliant, brilliant film. I wish the interviewer had asked John Voight some questions though. His character in my opinion was the most thought provoking in the film. Sure Burt Reynolds tends to get the most attention, but the next time you watch the film, pay particular attention to John Voight's character. Complex yet simple, and he nailed it.

I grew up in the 70's in Columbia S.C. 6 years old.. Saw James Dickey many times at the University. Now I'm 50 and think how much I wish I could interview him or make a documentray lol Is one of the best movies ever hahaha...the scene when Burt talks about survival I love it

[@obscureentertainment8303]

Only 7 minutes? I would have made this an hour long interview.

[@KutWrite]

They probably only gave this guy 7 minutes. He's an unknown, right? These are set up for publicity purposes. The poor actors have to sit there and listen to the same questions over and over, or inane ones, and make 'em look fresh and insightful. Or, like poor Jon Voight, sit there with nothing to do, but look interested.

[@KarenB-um1by]

It might interest you to know that both Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight voted for Trump. Asshat.

[@sb1866]

Obscure Entertainment This is only a segmant. It was longer.

[@bucketmouth7667]

No kidding! Jon Voight is like, "Can I get anyone water?"

[@TheTriplelman]

thats because he is a small time piece of shit interviewer.

[@janna2245]

Ned Beatty made that film memorable

[@marknewton6984]

A great actor. Network!!

[@gauravj6543]

He was good in Deliverence RIP Burt.

[@watchman1178]

Jon Voight is one of the best actors ever, and also a terrific person. The interviewer snubbed him.

[@recklessrocker1096]

Pretty good interview, but the interviewer totally ignores Jon Voight and his work. Voight had a pretty illustrious career himself, with Midnight Cowboy, Coming Home, etc. but the interviewer mostly focused on Toy Story and the Bandit when discussing their past successes.

[@KutWrite]

Yeah; why ignore Voight?

[@mmimmol]

Because Jon Voight ist better than these 3 actors. His level is uppon this and he gave them chance for explanation

[@TomFoti]

I agree. Jon Voight as Howard Cosell and as FDR showed a range few would have thought he was capable of. The interviewer missed a big opportunity.

[@lesterclaypool1]

KutWrite I'm sure the idiot conducting this disgrace of an interview came to the meeting completely unprepared and knew exactly jack and shit about the actor's other work outside of "Deliverance". Even reference to Reynold's film "Boogie Nights" came up from Reynolds referencing it.

[@jimmysapien9961]

That’s because Burt and Ned. Are well known .

[@Drewtazy]

Ned Beatty should have one an academy award!

[@marknewton6984]

He should have won several.

[@thetruth3768]

Jon seems to be such a good person whenever I see him interviewed that it's hard to understand why his daughter, Angeline, wont speak to him. I can only think that she must be the problem.
