Because they're nothing alike.
Southern Comfort is about soldiers fighting some members of a small community after Stuckey fired blanks at them.
Deliverance is about some civilians who go out to the mountains and one is raped by some retarded gay mountain men.
NO COMPARISON AT ALL.
Southern Comfort is a decent action thriller. Deliverance is just a vile excuse to shock.
Watch both films again. Deliverence could have been made last week whereas Southerm Comfort has dated considerably. No contest for me. Deliverence is a truly iconic tour- de-force of a movie. Once seen, NEVER forgotten. To this day, when you find yourself in an unfamiliar place that makes you uncomfortable, someone will always immitate the banjo music.
shareBoth Deliverance and Southern Comfort are both essentially films about survival and manhood, it's just that Deliverance explores those themes much more coherently. The main thing that distinguishes Southern Comfort from Deliverance is the clearly intended Vietnam allegory, although what the is actually trying to say about that conflict are rather sketchy and opaque. Deliverance wisely avoided going down that road and is the much better film for it, in my opinion.
shareBoth are very good imo. I like Deliverance a little more.
shareYOU WERE KIND OF DUMB,HUH?...DELIVERANCE IS A CLASSIC.
shareSouthern Comfort, while a decent movie, is a forgotten footnote.
Deliverance is still talked about to this day.
You just described the same movie. 🤔
