Compared with today's film, this science fiction film shot in 1954 is obviously far behind in special effects. However, the connotation of this film is very attractive to me, especially the role of Captain Nemo. He had a painful experience, was forced into hard labor, and his wife and children were tortured to death. Hatred and revenge occupied his mind, and he hit and sank ships on the ocean again and again. The sinking of the ship caused the sacrifice of a large number of crew members, which...

The famous original works have various children's picture books in the early period in China, and the themes are more in line with socialist values. From the elementary school years, you can see various translated novels. This kind of public foundation makes the audience of this literary adaptation film look at the film in a more demanding light. Even people who haven't read the original novel have probably heard the adventure story of "Sailor vs. Octopus". For this reason,...

As classic as the 86 version of Journey to the West
Insufficient skills, total acting skills can make up for it. I think this 20,000 li is the most exciting! Some people say that the 1955 edition of Twenty Thousand Miles is slow. I don’t think it’s no, no. It just so happens that some art just needs a slow tempo. The tempo is fast, and there are things that can’t be expressed! Some body language must be slow to show up, and these body languages are often lacking in movies nowadays. Among them, hunting on the bottom of the sea, sea burial...

The old sci-fi movies of 1954 can be made like this. It is really amazing, and it seems that it is still very exciting today. Every time I look at Verne’s things, I think he must have "crossed the...

Undersea wonders are the surface, anti-war ideas are the inside, and the introduction of nuclear elements is also quite characteristic of the times. However, compared to the long-length advance of the original work, the foreshadowing is full, and the two-hour film length is still a lot...

French science fiction novelist Jules Verne's classic adaptation, directed by Richard Fletcher, 1955 film. Although the film was shot 65 years ago, combined with the technical level at that time, its special effects and scenery really deserve the best of the 27th Oscars. The novel was read 20 years ago when I was reading, and most of the plot details were forgotten, but from the perspective of the film, the interpretation of the professor and Captain Nemo should be no problem. A man of great...
[last lines]
Ned Land: [as Vulcania explodes] Sorry I had to wallop you, Professor. But there wasn't time to stop for souvenirs.
Prof. Pierre Arronax: Perhaps you did mankind a service, Ned.
Ned Land: There's one thing you ought to know, Professor: Nemo's cracked. I've yet to see the day you can make a deal with a mad dog. So while you're feeding him sugar, I'll be figuring a plan to muzzle him.
Conseil: Why, Ned, you're not thinking of putting messages in these bottles, are you? That went out with Robinson Crusoe. You've forgotten this is the 19th Century.
Ned Land: There's something else I forgot.
[punches Conseil in the chin]
Ned Land: That's for spyin' on me. Don't let me catch you paddin' the shadow of my stern again. Remember that!
[Conseil rubs his chin, feelings hurt as well]
Ned Land: I don't like bashin' anybody. But you had it comin', lad.
Conseil: And I thought we were friends.
Ned Land: Sure, we're friends! Go ahead, hit me.
[sticks out his chin]
Conseil: You mean that?
Ned Land: [sticking his chin out further] Sure, go ahead! You can't miss it.
[Conseil surprises Ned with a punch to the gut]
Conseil: *Now* we're friends!
