amy_hermosillo Elijah wood plays Huck Finn in the movie as a young boy who likes adventure and meets a runaway slave. Courtney B. Vance plays Jim as a runaway slave who is looking for freedom. They go and try to get Jim freed, and as they go they encounter multiple problems throughout the movie. Ron Perlman plays Huck's father, and in the movie he is the reason on why Huck goes on the adventure. He goes on this adventure to try to get away from his alcoholic dad. This movie was in the 1850's and the place is in Mississippi. The film is comedy mixed with adventure. In the movie the adventures of Huck Finn, Huck is a young boy in the 1850's who runs from home to get away from his alcoholic dad. He meets a runaway slave named Jim and from there the two undertake a series of adventures throughout the movie. Jim gets caught up in Huck's problems as he drags Jim into them. Huck and Jim meet two men who are pretending to be the Wilro brothers and once again Jim gets involved in this situation. When the real brothers arrive in the town, it creates a problem that Huck and Finn get involved. The towns people ask questions, like who are the real brothers and the four guys start asking each other questions about England and that doesn't help because the towns people have no information about England. Jim on the other hand is in jail because he is wanted for murder. When Huck helps Jim escape from jail they are running for their lives when one of the towns people shoots Huck and they miss their chance to escape from that place. You will have to watch the movie to see what happens next. One aspect of filmmaking that I want to talk about is the background. Throughout the movie the background is one of the most important piece to make a movie. I think it is that because the background has to match the problem/plot of the movie to make it more interesting. It gives it image and it plays a big part in filmmaking. I haven't really thought about the background being an important aspect in filmmaking, but now that I researched bout it I do believe that it is very important. I can actually guarantee that if you take out the background movies wouldn't be that exciting to watch.Next I'm going to compare stereotypes of characteristics of the age of realism. Each character in the movie has a last name except for Jim. I think its because he is a slave and during that time period slaves weren't that important. Another example is in the beginning of the movie Jim was performing a magic trick to other people and many people were surprised because they wouldn't think that a slave would be educated. Also when Huck and Jim arrive to America, there is a fight that breaks out and an American pulls out his gun and shoots the guy and says "welcome to America". That's a stereotype because the movie us tying to portray that all Americans are stubborn and arrogant. This movie shows a lot of stereotypes and these are just a few examples I talked about. I think the movie did a good job showing what was going on in the 1850's. There was abolitionism and stereotypes. The movie actually showed optimism instead of realism. People didn't really overcome racism in a short period of time, in the real world it took hundreds of years to overcome and in the movie racism is overcome in the end of the movie. My overall reaction to this film is, it was a good and interesting movie. I loved it because it had some funny parts that made me laugh. It also had drama in it, which makes it interesting to watch. My mood was overall the same, I loved it. I would recommend people to watch this movie. I rate this movie 5 gold coins.

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.

kitt0200 Mark Twain wrote the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Disney remade it into a movie in 1993. The adventurous, action packed movie, The adventures of Huck Finn takes place in the fictional town of Saint Petersburg, Mississippi. The main characters were Huck played by Elijah Wood, Jim played by Courtney B. Vance, The duke played by Robbie Coltrana, The king played by Jason Robards, Pap Finn played by Ron Perlman, Widow Douglas played by Dana Ivey, Mary Jane Wilks played by Anne Heche, and Deputy Hines played by James Gammon. I think the cast of the movie was bad at acting because, for the most part, they didn't really own their roles. In the movie, Huck was talking to a black man named Jim who could see the future, and the man told Huck that Pap was coming back to town and told him he needed to run away that night. Instead, Huck decided to sneak out with his friends one last time and when he got back Pap was in his room and grabbed him and ran off taking him back to his place. Pap got drunk and tried killing Huck and when he woke up the next morning Pap left to go into town and Huck climbed through the fire place and went and killed a goat and dragged it through Pap's place and to fake his own death. Then Huck ran off to Jackson County because no one lives there and he runs into Jim. They start to swim in a pond and Jim tells Huck he's running off because he found out Widow Douglas was going to sell him to someone in New Orleans, so he was going to run down the Mississippi river to become a free man and earn money to buy his family back. On their way down the river Huck and Jim run into a lot of adventures. These two men hopped on Huck's and Jim's raft and at their next stop the two men found out that Jim was a runaway slave and they blacked mail them by saying they would tell the cops on them or kill them, unless they did as they said. You need to watch the movie for yourself to find out the rest. In the movie I thought the directing wasn't very good. The directing just kept going from one thing to the next. For example after Huck and Jim started down the river Huck changed his mind and wanted to tell on Jim and they run into police then he changes his mind and doesn't want to tell on him so he makes up a huge story about his mom and sister having pox. Then that night a steam boat crashes into Huck's and Jim's raft and then some men grabbed Huck and took him back to their house where the mother and son said he could stay as long as he wanted. In this movie I think the director should have added a few more scenes that showed the building of the friendship between Huck and Jim because I never got to really actually see that between them in the movie. Mark Twain started the realism era in literature. Realism is the use of everyday life and putting it into prose. He showed slavery and how some slaves would run away to free land. Jim ran away from Widow Douglas because he overheard that she was selling him to someone in New Orleans so he left and started down the Mississippi river to free land. Mark Twain also showed stereotypes and how everyone believed slavery was a good thing. Since Disney likes everything to have a happy ending the only real part in the movie that made us feel bad about slavery was when Jim got whipped and they showed the slashes on his back. If you want to know what Huck learned about Slavery at the end of the movie you will need to go watch it for yourself. I would give this movie one star, I think it's a boring movie and doesn't have good directing. It's just about a boy who runs into the wrong people and what he goes through once he meets them. It also just goes from one thing to the next and doesn't really have a calming point or show the friendship of Huck and Jim. The only way that I would rent the movie is if I read the book and wanted to see it to understand it better, otherwise I would advise you not to go see it.
