thumbs up for the same jacksons Island that Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn and Joe Harper went to runaway too and play pirates making everyone think they were dead! WOOT WOOT
the book is 100000000000000000xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx better. This movie sucks all the serious morbid moments are made cherefull and stupid with happy go lucky music ,and they took so much out of the book and added random stuff that made it worse!
if you are watching this instead of reading the book for school you're going to get an F
It is not even close to the real book. Not as entertaining and it follows only the plot and that too vaguely. A lot better could have been done to make this a masterpiece. I loved the book but this movie is good but not entertaining.
im readin dis book now 4 my American lit class..........itzs not dat bad but itzs 2 long....... they skipped a lot of parts in da movie....... i luv elijah wood........
Mark Twain was not a racist. He was just the opposite. He used the word "nigger" when he told it through Huck's eyes in the book, plus back then it did not have the connotation it has now. Twain wouldn't have written this book this way if he were racist. The number one point he makes is that slavery and racism are wrong. Wait until you understand before you make rash and stupid comments.
@vierdiez Mostly. He nearly tells on Jim because he was raised to believe that helping a slave to freedom is wrong. But Jim guilt trips him and Huck decides that he might as well keep doing "wrong". :) But Huck is a sweetie pie. :D
@PatientxWhatsername That´s the deep magic in that book, it´s an internal constant fight between superstition, paradigm, instinct and common sense... and since Huck was kind of a free spirit, he usually ended up doing the right thing... although he´d feel like he was doing wrong ha,ha,ha.
No he didn't! Did you people ever actually read the book? Huck was never a perfect hero that he tends to be portrayed as. Initially he treated Jim quite badly. He THOUGHT helping him escape to freedom was MORALLY WRONG. He nearly turned him in TO SLAVERY bought had a moral turnabout. YES he eventually views Jim as an equal but IN THE BEGINNING Huck believed him to be just another "dumb nigger" as he as taught. WHICH YEAH WAS NOT AN ETHICAL BELIEF.
@flauterfli I read the book version from the nineteenth century; and although Huck was more an "underdog" than a perfect hero, I just can´t find any moment in which he treats Jim the way a southern nineteenth-century white boy would treat a slave.
Well the real point is that Huck is confused as to how to view Jim.
Part of him views him as a friend but another part of him is a bit naive about slavery and the abuses Jim suffered under the system. If Huck treats him somewhat unequally, its because he's a child and not fully aware of the hypocrisy of the established order. Only later in the novel does he realize this.
in the book Jim is referred to as Nigger Jim, that's why many schools and libraries ban the book. why did Mark Twain name him that? just proves that Twain was racist. of course the ppl of Disney cast him simply as Jim to make it family friendly.
No, he wasn't racist. When Huck Finn was first released, calling a black a "nigger" was no more racist or less racist than calling a black a "black" or "African-American", or "negro".
Actually Huck was initially very racist. The term "nigger" has always been derogatory; to deem African Americans no less than livestock. Therefore, slavery was considered by many "moral" and "ethical." Huck was brought up to think this but through his adventures he begins to realize that the treatment of "niggers" is horribly, terribly wrong.
Actually "nigger" has always been a derogatory term. It branded African Americans to be property, livestock of the whites if you will. Mark Twain emphasizes that Huck has been born and raised to believe this, thus his casual use of "nigger" was A VERY RACIST slander (albeit acceptable at the time!) Twain was never a racist himself, though. He felt guilt for being brought up around slavery and never doing anything to stop what was obviously morally wrong.
