♥♥♥♥♥ |
A poor attempt at recreating a great novel
|
The 1960 movie, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, was another example of how making movies out of novels doesn't always turn out too good. When Micheal Curtiz produced this film, he strayed from the book's original plot quite often and scrambled up the events. There are many scenes in his film that never even occurred in the book. For example, Huck and Jim get jobs twice in the film (On the steamboat and the circus). In the original book, Huck and Jim never get real jobs, which makes the novel more imaginative and fun. Micheal Curtiz made another mistake while making his movie by not including all the characters. I was very disappointed when I discovered that Mark Twain never appears in the movie. Mark Twain brought fantasy and entertainment to the story. The thing that I disliked the most, however, was the ending. Micheal Curtiz didn't use the original ending at all. He made up with a whole new ending that doesn't fit with the rest of the movie. I'd have to say that my overall feeling of this film is disappointed. This was a poorly made movie, and i recommend not watching it.
