In this situation, Huck is trying to be impressive.  He is trying to get the point across that he is funny and "cool".  This lie is not only the one of a kind for Huck, but also one where he tries to push his reputation past its limits.

In the book "<em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em>"  by American writer Mark Twain, chapter 28 shows a more prolific Huck when he makes up the "<em>pluribus-unum mumps</em>" story to protect Mary Jane who is off, making sure Susan doesn't say anything about her sister's non appearance; and albeit Huck lies frequently, some lies such as the ones to save Jim seem to be fine and funny, Huck well estimates the Duke and King and he doesn't want to get busted by them and suffer any fatal consequences, due he knows they're scoundrels, thus this time he gets more meticulous when telling that story.

Analyze do the opening and closing shots suggest a bias, or an inclination to one side of the story, on the part of the filmaker
Valentin [98]

Of course. If Hollywood movies are meant, this is inevitable. Whole industry is involved in recording Hollywood films, determining the theme to be processed in the film, who is the "positive", who is "negative", is designed in advance what degree of bias will be represented according to the goal to be achieved. Then, producers order a script, whether they need to write a new one or adapt a literary work. Then this scenario is given to the selected director.

Nothing is different with the so-called authorial film.

The introductory scene can display the current situation of a positive or negative person or group, their actions, their psychological profile which still creates filmmakers, emphasizing with the help of various film techniques that this should be accepted by the auditorium. Of course, the same characteristics can be completely different if desired.

The final scene is usually much more convincing in suggesting a conclusion about a person, a group, a nation. It also uses the famous music effect we may not be aware of. The whole environment of statists, colors that accentuate the whole atmosphere of the environment, re-created the psychological profiles that through the film "evolve" as previously imagined with the realistic presentation of facts, indicate that how we should think.
