The Adventures of Huck Finn

Huckleberry Finn

The movie Huckleberry Finn is a very adventurous film based off the book "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" By Mark Twain. Some main stars in the film are Elija Wood as Huck, Courtney B. Vance as Jim, Robbie Coltrane as the Duke, Ron Perlman as Pap Finn and many more! During the journey the setting is taken place along the Mississippi river during the 1800's.

The Movie Huckleberry Finn was about a young boy that gets kidnapped by his abusive drunk of a father. Throughout the movie, Huckleberry tries to escape and brings along one of his friends that happens to be a slave. On their journey they happen to run into two thieves that hold them hostage and tell them what to do. Along the journey with the thieves, Huck finds their bag of gold they have hidden in a closet. Sooner or later people started finding out that Huck wasn't who he said he was. So they started to come after the both of them since Jim was wanted and Huck was a runaway.

Throughout the movie the set and clothing matched exactly what people would think the 1800's would be like. It wasn't like most movies where they don't have the same hair styles and clothing for the time period, but this film did. Also the background music had matched the action scenes very well to go along with the movie.

In the movie the character used realism by talking the same way people did in that time period. They also used realism in the way they dressed and how they try to match the life style of the 1800's. This film did a very good job on making you feel like you got a great image of what the 1800' was like.

In my opinion I think the movie is very good. I would put it as a four stars because they did a great job on following the book version. I feel like there could have been some more things that should be better compared to films in present day, but for when this came out it is very good.
