marius e Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 For the people from the states: I have recently watched 'souther comfort' (not very good) and deliverance (very good). Like movies are, most things are exaggerated.......so my question: Are there really those backwood communities to that extent and to the extent of that stupidity? Swamp living people etc etc?

heni30 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Ned Beatty - the actor who gets raped and has to squeal like a piggy - was reluctant to do the scene since he was just starting out and didn't want to be seen that way. Burt Reynolds told him - Look, man, just do it, six months from now no one's gonna remember. For the rest of his career it was the one thing that people remembered most and that he was famous for.

CliveG Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 ?? Anyway - I met some pretty strange "swamp" folk just up the road from you in Zim, got a belly full of booze then went "croc wrestling" on Lake Kariba. (Only little crocs but I'm sure Mum or Dad were still about!) You don't just have to look to America for weirdos. Unfortunately they're all around us!

eagle_ear Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 in the states, yeah. croc wrestling moonshine monster truck type, yeah, but along with that comes er, virtuoso stringed instrument player, amateur/master chef, modern day john muir type. you got to take the bad w/ the good.

marius e Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Sure, yes every country has them I know........just that there arent movies made about the rest, usa make the movies about theirs, so thats what i am getting at. Not only referring to the average hillbilly, talking about the french speaking swamp living comminity that america portray in the movies they make. I love southern musis...

Ernest Burden III Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 thats sad indeed...Bet Burt would never have taken that part! Burt Reynolds posed naked for Playgirl Magazine. You don't just have to look to America for weirdos... No, but it's a great place to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beestee Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Winter's Bone captured a realistic sense of it pretty well from what I have actually been around for a good part of my life. Granted I do not live directly in an area like that portrayed in the movie, but they do exist near me, and I typically don't seek those areas out for hiking or camping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
