☆Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

We watched Adventures of Huckleberry Finn on DVD on ALH class. I wrote a reprt about Huck's popularity.

By the way, this work's correct title is Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, not The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. One reason is that the story of Huck and Tom are separate stories, in other words, Huck's story is not sequel to Tom's story. Another reason is that Tom's story is for children but Huck's story is for adult.

This movie is about Huck's adventure with Jim who was black slave.

Huck live in Mrs. Douglas's house but he doesn't like new clothes and going to school. He likes to meet Jim and his family living Mrs. Douglas's house.

Huck's father is alive but he doesn't live with Huck. He is a terrible person so Huck is always afraid of him. One day, he wants his wife's inheritance having Huck so he try to kill Huck. Huck made his body by using carcass and runs away.

He arrives an island and Jim is there, too. Jim heard that he will be sold so he went out of Mrs. Douglas's house. When Huck meets Jim, he tells Huck that Huck's father is looking for murderer of Huck. Huck find a poster and it says Jim is wanted for murder Huck. They decided to go down the Mississippi to be free.

They meet some kinds of people. Jim watched Huck's father was dead in the ship when he get it on to find some foods with Huck. Huck doesn't know that but Jim doesn't tell that.

One day, they see two strange men. Suddenly, they rides on Huck and Jim's boat. They are swindlers and they pretend a English brothers to get big inheritance of the man whom they don't know well. They know that Jim is wanted so they obey Jim and Huck to follow their direction.

When they arrives the dead man's house, the people in there are not doubtful them. However, another brothers appear with a dead man's friend. Then, Huck tells the dead man's oldest daughter that the brother with Huck are swindlers and Huck takes the inheritance in the dead man's coffin.

The last scene impressed me a lot.

The swindlers are executed by the people in the house except the oldest daughter. They also try to kill Jim and Huck so Huck is shot by gun. Jim try to help Huck but Jim is arrested by them. Huck shouts "don't execute Jim" then the oldest daughter arrives there and she shouts "help the child (Huck) and the man (Jim)!"

Huck was injured badly but he recovers now! Mrs. Douglas cames and she is very happy to meet Huck again!! Jim is free now because his owner was dead!!! Everyone are happy at the last!!!!

I coudn't describe all good scene of it, so it's better for you to watch it once, if you've never watched:) Do you know who plays Huck? He is Elijah Wood!! I think he is very cute, isn't he?

See you again;)
