The fantastic tales of adventure penned over a hundred years ago by Jules Verne still live in the minds and hearts of millions. Futuristic concepts and legendary heroes mix with visions of a utopian world   more...and crazed madmen, and yet, this incredible legacy is still misunderstood and misinterpreted.

Hundreds of writers have tried desperately to analyze the writings of Jules Verne, claiming on the one hand that there is an underlying sexual message, on the other that he is guiding us towards some hidden and lost treasure.

But what is the truth? Were these highly successful stories simply great works of fiction? Or do they really hold a message for us today?

In this film, we dissect the most famous of tales and discover the truth. From Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea to Around the World in Eighty Days, from The Mysterious Island to Journey to the Center of the Earth, this film scrutinizes both the author and the meaning of his work.

This is a voyage into the world of Jules Verne, the father of science fiction.  less

The Trip to the Moon, the first ever sci-fi movie, produced in 1902 France by Georges Melies, based on a Jules Verne story. The end of the movie is animated, and is thus thought to be the first animated   more...movie ever. Last but not least, it may just have been the first pirated movie ever. Georges Melies wanted to show it in the USA and make some well deserved money off it, but Thomas Edison's film technicians secretly made copies of it and exhibited it themselves, with Edison pocketing all the money and Melies going bankrupt!!!

As all movies of the time, it had no soundtrack. Instead, it came with a script read live by a narrator inside the movie theater, typically accompanied by a piano player and quite possibly with a violin or two (just as in this version).  less

Okay okay this time we may be a tad bit intoxicated.

Gary Jules - Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide   more...my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... world
Enlarge your world
Mad world  less
