A masterpiece by John Boorman , a gold award director who is good at exploring the conflict between civilization and primitiveness . Director John Boorman uses this adventure story to explore the irrational behavior of humans, with compact and powerful techniques and sharp reflections. Four male protagonists: Burt Reynolds , Jonathan Vincent Voight , Ned Beatty , and Ronny Cox (the latter two are on the screen for the first time). Well done. The film uses this adventure story to explore the human's violation of the natural ecological environment, with powerful lyrical techniques and sharp visuals, but many scenes have too much "blank" and the plot is too simple.
The theme of this film is serious, and the British director John Boorman left the audience with an unsolvable mystery in a nearly documentary approach: why human beings have not been purified of their souls in front of the vast and peaceful nature, but have exposed the ugliest side of human nature naked The ground is completely exposed.
