초록

This paper examines three film adaptations of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Michael Curtiz’s film is the most widely watched version in Korea because it is the only imported DVD and has a Korean subtitle. Unfortunately, it is quite possibly the worst movie version of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It is at odds with the original novel not only in quality but also in plot, character, and themes. Stephen Sommers’ adaptation is praised for its sensitive treatment of racial issues. However, fast-paced action adventures commonly found in Disney family movies make this version less satisfactory than it rightly deserves. Sommers’ adaptation fails to catch Mark Twain’s dark humors and satires. Peter Hunt’s adaptation has been almost completely ignored by Korean critics due to wrong information on its availability. Hunt’s version is faithful to the original novel and, consequently, the most satisfactory film rendition to date. Yet, its length and slow pace make this version less powerful than the orignal.
