Trivialidades:

Tom Sawyer has just one shot in this version of the film where he yells "Go for the glory!", even though he is a major character in Mark Twain's book. The actor who says "Go for the glory, Huck!" at 03:43 on the DVD is Danny Tamberelli who is listed in the end credits as playing "Ben Rodgers". At 03:45, another boy says "Ya, go for the glory", but Tom Sawyer, who has a large roll in the ending of the book that is not in the film, does not appear in the end credits.

Errores:

Continuidad: When Pap Finn is carrying Huck over his shoulder, down the stairs, we see (at 12:05) looking down from the second floor that the stair landing has a 2-candle sconce on its right wall and its left wall. At 12:11 looking up from the first floor there is no sconce on the right wall of the landing.

Citas:

Pap Finn: But I'm... I'm your next of kin... and you're my little angel.

One of The Best Movies Ever

This film was one of the greatest children's movies I have ever seen! When you watch some film adaptations of books, e.g. Harry Potter, the director cuts out chunks of the book. This film is about a boy named Huck Finn (played by Elijah Wood) who helps a slave named Jim (played by Courtney B. Vance) down the river Mississippi in South America to set his family free from slavery. My main interest in the film was the part where Huck got shot by people that were hanging Jim. This is because it was a very emotional moment. Wouldn't you be interested if the director can use emotion that well? Another interest I had was the message that was being sent across, the message was that slavery was not a great thing and that many people suffered from it. The film was well adapted from the book and it's stunning use of drama made the message very serious. In my opinion the best bit dramatised was the part at the beginning where Huck and Pa were in the house and Pa was trying to murder Huck. The way the actors performed was just outstanding, they really used that sense of emotion, like where Huck had the Fight with Tom Sawyers and their sense that they were actually getting hurt was really realistic. The film is really realistic and has a great message, so I would recommend this film to anyone who likes a good adventure story (even adults). So watch the film to find out whether Jim manages to set his family free.
