No.  There was a rumor that it was inspired by a web site.  On the web site, it said that for $10,000, you could kill a man in the Phillipines and the money would go to his family.  The web site may have been a hoax and could never be found again.\n\nThe story is in the link below:

Cud be true to some extent partially or fully. But in anycase everywhere such things happen. It doesnot matter who said but doest it matter to us in reality or is it reflects something in real sense to our real life. Answer to this matters the truth of the story.

I like the movie as a movie.  However the real fact of the situation are so different - the film can only be said to be very loosely based on fact.\nAnneliese Michel (September 21, 1952 – July 1, 1976) was a Catholic woman from Germany who believed she was possessed by six or more demons and subsequently underwent an exorcism.Anneliese experienced severe psychiatric disturbances from the age of 16 to her death at age 23. Although the faith-based treatment was performed at her own request, the hospitalization and intravenous feeding could have saved her life. Both the priests who performed the exorcism and her parents were convicted of manslaughter. The Catholic Church, which had authorized the exorcism, reversed itself and declared it a case of mental illness; however, many people believe she was genuinely possessed by demons, and her gravesite is a destination for pilgrims to this day.\nThe film significantly deviates from the real-world events (for example, the film is set in the United States and Anneliese was renamed Emily Rose and the court case was shown with a substantially different outcome). The German-language film Requiem (2006) by Hans-Christian Schmid holds a much truer account of the real-life events.\nAs to how 'true' this case was as opposed to being a mental illness, I don't know.  However even 'The Ammityville Horror' a well known hoax had a germ of truth behind it and the house still has been the scene of some disturbances, admittedly not as dramatic as the book and subsequent film.  I know it sounds strange, but I think there may well be some truth in this case, as well.

Yes it is!  Wow, I'm really glad you asked.  The movie is based on real events that occurred in south central Africa in the year 2015.  The apes that lived there thought that they were as good as normal humans and decided to start their own society.  Luckily there are badasses out there like Charlton Heston who don't put up with that kind of monkey crap.  God bless Heston and the NRA.

No its not and yes it is....here you can read about it from the author...the book is a work of fiction...it is found in the fiction section....i have placed them in " " the part of the passage that come from the "idea" for the work..... so mainly the answer is no.\n\nJames Dickey's first novel, Deliverance, is an adventure story of a three-day canoe trip  \nDeliverance \nin the rugged wilderness of southern Appalachia, in which four suburbanites are brutalized both by the sheer force of the river and by violent and degenerate mountain men. Although James Dickey, an Atlanta native, never identified Georgia as the book's setting, the city from which the four men come was widely assumed to have been Atlanta. The river where most of the book's action takes place, the Cahulawassee, closely resembles the Chattooga River, which forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina in the former's northeasternmost corner in Rabun County. \n\nOnly a few months after the book's publication in March 1970, a film adaptation confirmed its Georgia setting by filming on location in Rabun County and on the Chattooga.  \nDeliverance \nReleased in 1972, the film became one of the most popular of the year. Both book and movie had much to do with confirming to a national audience the hillbilly stereotypes that had long plagued southern Appalachia. The film, in particular, stands as the most degrading depiction of southern mountaineers ever put on film and led to strong protests both by north Georgians and by Appalachian scholars. \n\nThe Novel\n\n"Dickey, already a well-regarded poet, conceived the idea for the book after his involvement in a traumatic canoe accident on the Coosawattee River in the early 1960s."\n\n His story centers on four middle-aged suburbanites who head north for a weekend of whitewater canoeing on a wild river shortly before the completion of a new dam that would make it inaccessible. Three of the men, including Ed Gentry, who is the narrator and Dickey's alter ego, are inexperienced in the ways of the wilderness, and they defer to Lewis Medlock, a seasoned outdoorsman and survivalist, who plans the trip and leads the group. Once underway the novice adventurers encounter not only a far more physically challenging and dangerous river than they were prepared for but also some equally threatening local inhabitants. The novel's centerpiece is an attack and sexual assault by two mountaineers on the banks of the river that leads to a series of murders, including that of one of the four Atlantans. Their ever-escalating struggle for survival becomes a moral dilemma as well, as the would-be adventurers find themselves forced to cover up their ordeal when they reach the town of Aintry at the river's end. \n\nThe novel has been interpreted in a variety of ways, most of which focus on the tensions wrought when the sensibilities of modern suburbia are pitted against the more elemental values of the natural world or the primitivism of rural mountain life. The four men bring to their adventure different attitudes and assumptions. For Lewis and Ed, in particular, the challenges they face in defending themselves, individually and collectively, serve as a deliverance not only from the hostile forces of man and nature but also from their own mental and psychological shortcomings as the products of a soft, comfortable, materialistic culture. \n\nThe book faced a mixed reception initially. Deliverance was widely acknowledged as a compelling adventure story, but some critics found its violence excessive and its stereotypical portrayal of mountain people demeaning and simplistic. It was an unqualified success commercially and became a best-seller.

Unfortunately, very close to the truth!\nAll the facts he pointed out in his movie are backed up with news publications, personal interviews, and eyewitness reports!\n\nI say very close because he still gave it a passive mainstream media Hollywood spin. The realities of the 9/11 situation are much more shocking than even he's willing to point out.

Right at the very end when it says "The events and characters depicted in this motion picture are fictitious, and any similarity to actual persons, or events is purely coincidental."\n\nThat's the best part of that train wreck.
