Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

meku6109-378-402758 The Adventures of Huck Finn is an adventure movie based off the classic story "Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain. Elijah Wood played the adventurous young boy Huck Finn. Huck runs away with a slave, Jim, Courtney B. Vance, and their goal is to make it to freedom for Jim. This is a dangerous journey through Mississippi for a slave in the 1950s.Huck Finn is a young boy who lives with two old woman because his father, Pap, is not a nice man. Pap decides to take him out of his home one night and brings him to his own house. While at his dad's house, Huck has to be careful because Pap is scary when he is drunk. In order to escape from Pap's life, Huck fakes his own murder. He starts out on a journey but on the first day he comes across Jim in the woods. They decide to travel together but they have to be extra careful who they run into because Jim is blamed for Huck's murder. Eventually, they run into two thieves, Duke and King, who bring them along with them to pretend to be people they are not. Their lies finally catch up with them and they have to carefully find their way out of the situation. Watch the movie to find out what twists this movie takes at the end.This movie does an excellent job of staying in the 1950s time period. The way the slaves are treated and enslaved was really how they were treated. The two boys get stuck on a plantation and Jim is enslaved. Huck sees how Jim is treated and wants to leave. The dialects of the people tell that they are from the South. The way the people dress also keeps with the time period. The ladies wore big dresses and men wore suits and hats.I thought that this movie had excellent acting. Elijah Wood is a young actor and is really great for his age. The other actors are good at playing the roles that they got. They are very realistic and act with the time period.I found this movie really enjoyable and it even had some humor in it. I would defiantly recommend this movie for an age of person because it is classic literature but has a Disney spin on it. I give this movie 7 out of 10 stars.

remb8264-378-927229 Huck Finn shows how an adventurous boys life, the lying, running away and tricking people. through everything he becomes friends with someone who is just as disliked as him. He also reaches out to a woman about the wrongful actions of his kid nappers as they attempt to impersonate two brothers. Huck finn's way of life was anything but normal, but in the end being honest ended up helping not only him but everybody else. this story has taught me that a little white lie can cause people a lot in the long run because it doesn't affect only you but everyone around you, and it could end up costing you more in the long run rather than gaining what you thought you would.

wilcoxdevon17 The setting of this story is in a small town in Mississippi. it is an adventure film with some comedy mixed in with it. it was during the civil war era, when blacks were still being used for slavery. Some of the stars were Elijah wood as Huck, Courtney B. Vance as Jim, and Ron Perlman as pap Finn. Elijah Wood or Huck is a thirteen year old boy who comes from a poor background and has been raised up to this point, by his uneducated, uncivilized, drunkard father. The story takes place in Mississippi during pre-civil war times. Widow Douglas and Miss Watson have taken him in and are attempting to civilize him. Courtney B. Vance or Jim is a black slave that ends up running away with Huck when he runs away because he caused his fake death to get away from his father. Jim is caring, One of Miss Watson's household slaves. Jim is superstitious and occasionally sentimental, but he is also intelligent, practical, and ultimately more of an adult than anyone else in the movie. Huck's father, the town drunk is a wreck when he appears at the beginning of the movie, with disgusting, ghostlike white skin and tattered clothes. but he sure did act like he cared when he went looking for Huck's fake killer after Huck had put pig blood all over and trashed his pap's house to make it look like someone had brutally murdered him. and that is when the whole adventure begins, when he runs away with Jim he finally has a way to to leave without having to worry about anyone looking for him. he is finally free to do what he wants. i choose to discuss acting as my aspect of filmmaking, because i think that it is a very well done act. when Huck had gotten shot but he acted like he was fine when Jim asked him why he was being so slow, another example is when he told that big long lie and the doctor did not believe him and he just thought he was a good liar. My overall reaction to the film is that it was a very well thought out and well wrote movie that always had new surprises planned for the viewer. I think that the quality of the movie was really good it had funny parts to it and a few sad parts. the graphics were pretty good and i think that it would be a great movie for a family looking for something to do to watch. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

hane0367 During CA this year, my class watched The Adventures Of Huck Finn. The movie takes place in the 1800s. I think the movie was classified more as a drama than any other genre. Even though it had some comedy parts. The movie Huckleberry Finn is about a little boy that gets kidnapped by his abusive drunk of a father. Throughout the movie Huck tries to set his friend, that's a slave, free. At one point they come across this thief's stash of gold. They pretended that they were sent from London and were high class people. Soon people started realizing that they weren't who they said that they were. So the thief's went after Huck and his friend. I thought that the set and the costume design matched the story line really well. It wasn't like most movies where they don't have the same hairstyles and clothes as they did back in the 1800s. Also I thought that the background music matched the action scenes really well. In the movie the characters used realism by talking the same way that people did in that time. They also used realism by the way they dressed. In the background they showed realism by using real people and real places. My personal opinion on the movie was that it was terrible. The story was dry and it wasn't very interesting. I wouldn't suggest this movie to any high school student. I would rate this movie 2 out of 10.
