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.

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.

Huckleberry FinnThe 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.
