Captain Nemo | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Captain Nemo is the antiheroic deuteragonist in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . Contents [ show ] Personality and Traits Nemo has always been a mysterious character. He is a brilliant genius, having created the Nautilus in the middle of the 19th Century, and powered it using a nuclear reactor. He willingly attacks ships, but does show guilt. This remorse is mixed with a burning hate for the fact that the nation who enslaved him previously was responsible for subjecting him to extreme torture in attempt to learn his scientific knowledge. When he refused, his wife and son were murdered. As Captain of the Nautilus, he maintains a very serious, no-nonsense personality amidst his crew and that of Aronnax and his companions. He only shows extreme emotion when in solitude, as shown prior to attacking a warship, where he indulges himself in performing on the ship's organ, only to have his playing become more dramatic and erratic. Nemo loves the ocean and made it his home. All his food comes from some form of sea life.

He also keeps various preserved samples of various sea creatures, and even has a pet sea lion, Esmeralda . Appearances 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea According to the original novel by Jules Verne, Nemo's past is shrouded in mystery with little revealed about his early years. In the film, the earliest known account of his life is that he was originally a slave on the penal colony of Rura Penthe. After escaping, Nemo fled with other refugees to a remote island called Vulcania, where Nemo's ingenuity and scientific knowledge were exercised, including the construction of the submersible vessel, the Nautilus. After the Nautilus was constructed, the former prisoners became its crew, with Nemo becoming the Captain. For several months the Nautilus travelled throughout the oceans, attacking numerous ships. After one such encounter, three survivors arrived aboard the Nautilus, Professor Aronnax , Conseil , and Ned Land . Nemo quickly invited Arronax to join him and reluctantly took Conseil and Ned as prisoners. He hoped to use Arronax as an emissary in order to allow Nemo to share his secrets with the world. The Nautilus continued its travels across the oceans.

Nemo got to know Arronax better, and showed him some of his past. Ned continued to irritate Nemo due to his constant attempts to escape. Eventually the Nautilus returned to the Island of Vulcania, only to discover it to have been invaded by soldiers because Ned had secretly released several bottles containing the location of the Island. Nemo decided to prevent the soldiers from finding his secrets, and left the Nautilus to destroy the base. The attempt was successful, but as Nemo re-entered the Nautilus, he was unexpectedly shot in the back. Nemo died shortly after, gaining one last glimpse of the ocean. Once Upon a Time Captain Nemo appears in Season 6 of the series, played by Faran Tahir [1] . His existence in the show was etablished into Season Five when Henry Mills and Violet finds an alternate version of the book where an illustration shows Nemo with the Nautilus, etablishing his existence into the Land of Untold Stories. Disney Parks Captain Nemo played a significant role in the Walt Disney World attraction based on the film . While he was not actually seen, his voice would fequently be heard narrating the journey and speaking to other crew members.

In this attraction, Captain Nemo was voiced by Pete Renaday . His face appears in the organ mirror, in Les Mystères du Nautilus , at Disneyland Paris , and voices the approach to the entrance of the Nautilus when you first enter the attraction. In Tokyo DisneySea 's Mysterious Island , the story is set in an alternate path from the movie where Nemo didn't die, but instead has opened up to the world and allowed visitors to explore Vulcania in the name of scientific curiosity. Gallery Add a photo to this gallery Trivia ﻿In the original Jules Verne novel, Nemo's fate is never made clear. In fact, an older Nemo actually appeared in a later novel, The Mysterious Island, where he is revealed to have survived the ending of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and is now the only surviving member of the crew of the Nautilus. He secretly helps a group of stranded Civil War veterans who unknowingly crash a hot air balloon at the home port of the Nautilus. Much of his past which was not revealed previously is discussed, as well. Actor Gregory Peck reportedly auditioned to play Nemo, but lost the part to James Mason.

Nemo , the titular character from Finding Nemo and Nemo , from the Rescue Rangers, may have been named after Captain Nemo. Captain Finn from Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers , is based on Captain Nemo. References Nautilus submarine model submarine model Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea The Nautilus was described as "a masterpiece containing masterpieces." Electricity provided by sodium/mercury batteries (with the sodium provided by extraction from seawater) was the primary power source for propulsion. The Nautilus used floodable tanks in order to adjust buoyancy and so control its depth. The pumps that evacuate these tanks of water were so powerful that they produced large jets of water when the vessel emerged rapidly from the surface of the water. This led many early observers of the Nautilus to believe that the vessel was some species of whale, or perhaps a sea monster not yet known to science. Much of the ship was decorated to standards of luxury that were unequalled in a seagoing vessel of the time. These included a library with boxed collections of valuable oceanic specimens that were unknown to science at the time, expensive paintings, and several collections of jewels.

The Nautilus also featured a lavish dining room and even an organ that Captain Nemo used to entertain himself in the evening. 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Nautilus | eBay 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Nautilus Here is an incredible fully detailed Nautilus from Walt Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Great DVD Makes This Fun Again 27 April 2006 | by ccthemovieman-1 (United States) – See all my reviews One of the first movies, along with "Shane," that I ever saw as a young kid that I still watch and enjoy today is this one. One of the reasons I still enjoy it is the wonderful restoration job someone did in the latest DVD that was released in 2004.

Of course, it's not as exciting as seeing this on the big screen as a youngster, but it's still entertaining thanks to the intelligent dialog of James Mason, the humor (believe it or not) of Peter Lorre and the good special effects. The submarine is still neat to watch, particularly at night with the green glow to it. I haven't seen anything like it since. I haven't seen a giant squid attacking a boat, either, come to think of it. That still is pretty cool. I don't find this movie "spectacular" as its reputation but it's still a very worthy addition to any movie buff's collection. It's one of the classics of the '50s that has been revived with this great-looking DVD which also has some interesting extra features. 33 of 46 people found this review helpful.

Can anyone please explain to me why in gods name screen writers always think that they can write a better story than the original author??? I mean, i might accept that you throw in a love story, although the original story were completely minus women, but why rewrite the whole story? About all that was left was the title and the names of the characters, and a very thin plot outline. Why involve the story of Oedipus(ancient Greek story about a young man who kills his father and makes love to his mother)? Why involve Moby Dick? (the admiral was clearly based on Captain Ahab). Why indeed? The most annoying thing about the whole mess is that it is a great opportunity wasted. The film has the right actors, (Michael Caine is great as Nemo) the right special effects, e.t.c.- everything you needed to make a good adaptation of Jules Verne's novel. But the screen writer decided that he could write a much better story than Jules Verne, although he wanted to borrow the title. Sorry. Not good enough.

Get Known if you don't have an account Share Literature / Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea × "That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?" — Ecclesiastes 7:24 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is an 1869 adventure novel by Jules Verne . It scores a solid 5 on Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness and has a strong focus on technology, existentialism, and marine biology. During a visit to America, Professor Aronnax, a famous French marine biologist, is invited to join a US Navy expedition in the hunt for a mysterious sea monster (believed to be a giant narwhal) that has attacked and damaged two ships. Once they find the narwhal, it attacks, causing Aronnax, his trusty manservant Conseil and Ned Land, the ship's Canadian harpoonist, to fall overboard (well, Conseil jumped, to rescue the Professor). They clamber onto the only dry spot in the sea, namely the narwhal's back, expecting to drown as soon as it dives. Then a hatch opens...

The mysterious narwhal is in fact not a whale, but a high-tech electric submarine, owned and designed by the mysterious and eccentric Captain Nemo . While refusing to put our heroes ashore, he lets them live, and takes them on a fantastic journey under the seas of the world, showing them the many wonders of the world beneath the waves. Aronnax finds himself torn between his passionate interest in marine biology and his desire for freedom - should he try to escape with his comrades or stay and find out why Nemo sails around the world, sinking British and American ships? The novel has a sequel, The Mysterious Island , which tells Nemo's Back Story . Fun fact that people sometimes forget: the title refers to the distance the Nautilus travels horizontally over the course of the book, not the depth it dives to. 20,000 leagues vertically would be impossible, being 80,000 kilometersnote Verne used the metric league, which is 4 km, or twice the circumference of the Earth. The translation is partly to blame ; a closer translation would be Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the 'Seas', which is sometimes used in more modern translations.

A Saturday Night Live sketch with guest host Kelsey Grammar as Nemo lampshaded this misconception. The book is now out of copyright, and the original French text can be obtained from Project Gutenberg here . This English translation , done by Verne scholar Frederick Paul Walter, is a modern, highly accurate translation of the book, free of the errors that many other editions of the book have. Alternatively, check out the most common edition here . This translation, done by the Reverend Lewis Page Mercier, is widely considered to be the worst translation of the book; it is riddled with errors and censorship, as well as incorrect numbers (for example, the density of steel is given as .7 to .8 times that of water, while Verne really wrote 7.8 times that of water, which is the correct value). Sadly, it is also the most common translation - check your bookshelves for this version! This also allowed life-long fan and mini-submarines builder Pat Regan to publish a sequel (mostly inspired by Disney's movie), titled ''Vulcanium'' The best-known adaptation of the novel is the 1954 live-action Disney film .

The novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea shows examples of the following tropes: Abnormal Ammo : The Nautilus crew's armament of choice is an air-rifle that fires a glass bullet containing a small capacitor. When the glass shatters, the capacitor unleashes its charge, instantly killing the target. Above Good and Evil : What Captain Nemo claims to be. He really isn't. See ï¿½bermensch below. Absent-Minded Professor : Aronnax has this a few times. One chapter has him declare a book he's been engrossed in for several hours as utterly brilliant, which Conseil is bemused by. When Aronnax asks what's so funny, Conseil tells him to check the spine to see who wrote it... turns out, it was Aronnax himself, and he'd completely forgotten about it. A Weapon of Mass Destruction is an Artifact of Doom . No Man Should Have This Power and if he does, he becomes an ï¿½bermensch .

No matter what a wholesome Nice Guy you genuinely are, if you become an ï¿½bermensch because you have a Weapon of Mass Destruction , for a time you will be The Anti-Nihilist , but slowly but surely you will become a Nietzsche Wannabe . Affably Evil : Deconstructed by Captain Nemo, who is a genuinely noble Nice Guy who has access to technology enjoyed by none else. How can a truly good man cross the Moral Event Horizon ? Because he is slowly but surely losing his sanity through the novel, and in the end he becomes a Death Seeker . All-Loving Hero : Professor Aronnax is a humble Wide-Eyed Idealist scientist that already had won the Undying Loyalty of Counseil before he comes to the Nautilus, he also makes Ned Land do a More Expendable Than You sacrifice when they are in the Pole, and he is ultimately the reason why Captain Nemo gets his Villainous Breakdown when Aronnax discovers the Nautilus is a Weapon of Mass Destruction . Almost Out of Oxygen : When the Nautilus is trapped under the Antarctic ice. Verne, however, did his research.

Oxygen is not a problem, due to the Nautilus having plenty of electricity and water around, but without caustic potash to bind the carbon dioxide the heroes are screwed anyway. Anti-Villain : Nemo. His hatred of the British is perfectly understandable, given his Back Story . However, attacking civilians for happening to be on a ship flying the wrong colours... And the fact that he is holding everyone captive at that. He's pretty much a crystal clear Well-Intentioned Extremist . Artifact of Doom : The Nautilus is this for Captain Nemo: by using it as a Weapon of Mass Destruction , Nemo discovers that With Great Power Comes Great Insanity . Atlantis : Captain Nemo shows Professor Aronnax the ruins of Atlantis. Atlantis Is Boring : There is a discussion over whether this trope applies or not to this novel. Awesome, but Impractical : Discussed. When Nemo is telling Aronnax about his vast riches, extracting gold from seawater is mentioned, but it would cost so much as to turn little, if any, profit. Especially when using advanced diving suits to get it from sunken wrecks is so much easier. Battle Butler : Conseil.

Beard of Evil : Nemo is depicted with a beard in the 1954 Disney film version (probably the most well-known adaptation) and pretty much every adaptation afterwards. He had a beard before that as well, in the 1916 black and white silent adaptation (which merged it with the sequel, The Mysterious Island into one story, as if the events all took place simultaneously, though the sequel was supposed to be many years later), Nemo has a beard, as well as wearing Blackface . The beard already appeared in the original illustrations of the book, since the artist used Colonel Charas as a model - fitting as Charas' life was somewhat similar to Nemo's, and he may also have been Verne's inspiration for the character. Beauty Equals Goodness : Lampshaded when Wide-Eyed Idealist Aronnax uses physiognomy to justify that a stocky character is a fool and the goodï¿½looking man is someone good, but rethinks this theory when the goodï¿½looking man (Captain Nemo) left him starving with their companions in a cell. Also Deconstructed later on when Aronnax begins seeing just how dangerous Nemo is...

A disciple of such characterï¿½judging anatomists as Gratiolet or Engel could have read this man's features like an open book . Without hesitation, I identified his dominant qualitiesï¿½selfï¿½confidence, since his head reared like a nobleman's above the arc formed by the lines of his shoulders, and his black eyes gazed with icy assurance; calmness, since his skin, pale rather than ruddy, indicated tranquility of blood; energy, shown by the swiftly knitting muscles of his brow; and finally courage, since his deep breathing denoted tremendous reserves of vitality. I might add that this was a man of great pride, that his calm, firm gaze seemed to reflect thinking on an elevated plane, and that the harmony of his facial expressions and bodily movements resulted in an overall effect of unquestionable candorï¿½according to the findings of physiognomists, those analysts of facial character. I felt "involuntarily reassured" in his presence , and this boded well for our interview. Berserk Button : Ned Land discovers that he must never surrender to The Empire while Nemo is The Captain of the Nautilus.

Big Eater : Ned Land, whose only interest in an any wildlife species seems to run entirely in a culinary direction. Broken Pedestal : After spending the novel swimming in Stockholm Syndrome for Captain Nemo, Aronnax sees him crossing the Moral Event Horizon in a terrible Kick the Dog moment. And yet... I returned to the saloon, fearing and yet hoping to see Captain Nemo, wishing and yet not wishing to see him. What could I have said to him? Could I hide the involuntary horror with which he inspired me? No. It was better that I should not meet him face to face; better to forget him. And yetï¿½ Canada, Eh? : Although the narration constantly reminds us that Ned Land is Canadian, he actually doesn't fit the modern stereotype in that he's loud, arrogant, and rather meatheaded (and whistles "Yankee Doodle"). It's entirely possible that he's a transplanted American who ended up living in Canada one way or another.

Although for a Canadian harpoonist it fits, lumberjacks and fishermen aren't the shy ones even in Canada (even Yankee Doodle kind of make sense given how the culture between both countries were open even back then) The Captain : Deconstructed with Nemo, he is so charismatic a captain and so loved by his crew that nobody notices his Villainous Breakdown . Character Filibuster : Arronax tends to go off on long digressions about various species of marine life he's observed, interrupting the adventure story of which he's one of the main characters. Closed Circle : Even when the Nautilus travels around the whole world, Professor Aronnax , Conseil and Ned Land are confined to the submarine . They only talk with Captain Nemo (all the other crew talk a secret language). Completely Unnecessary Translator : A variation occurs when Professor Aronnax , Conseil and Ned Land failing to understand the language used by their captors, try to talk to them in their respective native languages (French, German (Conseil is Dutch, but presumably uses German because Dutch is a very rare language outside of The Netherlands) and English, respectively).

When their captors didnï¿½t react, Aronnax attempted to speak Latin without success. In a second interview, the man that later presented himself as Captain Nemo told them: ...After some moments of silence, which not one of us dreamed of breaking, "Gentlemen," said he, in a calm and penetrating voice, "I speak French, English, German, and Latin equally well. I could, therefore, have answered you at our first interview, but I wished to know you first, then to reflectï¿½ï¿½ Con Lang : Subverted because even when the Nautilus crew uses a language that Professor Aronnax cannot recognize, Verne didnï¿½t bother himself making any words of it except "Nautron respoc lorni virch." that Aronnax thinks must mean: "There's nothing in sight.". Aronnax describes the language like this: "ï¿½ a language I didn't recognize. It was a sonorous, harmonious, flexible dialect whose vowels seemed to undergo a highly varied accentuation". Given that the Nautilus crew is a N.G.O.

Superpower , it makes sense this language is a Con Lang Completely Original, designed to substitute all the other ï¿½continentalï¿½ languages that were original to each of the crew countries that the crew has abandoned. Aronnax observes that just moments before his death, one of the crew forgets to use that Con Lang and ask for help in French. A hungry Ned Land also theorizes: "Don't you see, these people have a language all to themselves, a language they've invented just to cause despair in decent people who ask for a little dinner! Why, in every country on earth, when you open your mouth, snap your jaws, smack your lips and teeth, isn't that the world's most understandable message?

From Quebec to the Tuamotu Islands, from Paris to the Antipodes, doesn't it mean: I'm hungry, give me a bite to eat!" Conspiracy Theorist : Played for Laughs with Ned Land: As a professional fisher, he doesnï¿½t believe in Sea monsters (giant narwhales or octopus), but he believes that his captors could be cannibals , that the language spoken in the Nautilus is a conspiracy to let him die of hunger (see Con Lang ) and in Artificial Human : "Haven't seen or heard a thing!" the Canadian replied. "I haven't even spotted the crew of this boat. By any chance, could they be electric too?" "Electric?" "Oh ye gods, I'm half tempted to believe it!" Cool Ship : The Nautilus, which has a greater range than any existing non-nuclear submarine. Crippling Overspecialization : Conseil can rattle off any animal or plant's exact order, class, phylum, genus and species, but only once he's told their name, being unable to actually identify a single one. Death Seeker : As Nemo's mental health deteriorates through the course of the story, he becomes more reckless.

Deliberate Values Dissonance : In-Universe : Ned Land asks Captain Nemoï¿½s permission to hunt some whales. Nemo denies it and he accuses Ned of being an Egomaniac Hunter . Next they see some cachalots and Nemo destroys them using the ''Nautilus''ï¿½ spur . When Ned accuses Nemo as being The Butcher , Nemo answers that the cachalots were mischievous creatures and the Nautilus is his weapon . Verne shows us that no matter how much mistaken is the philosophy of Great White Hunter , they will never do the damage that the Ubersmench can do using science. Disproportionate Retribution : Conseil and Arronax geek out over a seashell that twists left-handedly instead of to the right. When a lucky shot from one of the attacking natives shatters it, Conseil promptly picks up a gun and shoots the man. The Dividual : Arronax believes that Ned and Conseil together would have made a remarkable naturalist (the former can identify most of the sea creatures they see, the latter can classify them in seconds).

Dysfunction Junction : There are only four principal characters in the novel due to the Closed Circle : Conseil has so much Undying Loyalty that he considers himself an extension of his employer. Professor Aronnax practically swims in Stockholm Syndrome , Captain Nemo has a slow Villainous Breakdown caused by him, a good man, crossing once and again the Moral Event Horizon . Ned Land slowly Goes Mad From The Isolation . Dumbass Has a Point : In all of the book, Ned Land opines Captain Nemo is a despot and the Power Trio must attempt the Great Escape as soon as possible. Professor Aronnax and Conseil are impressed with Nemo and their incredible voyage, and it's not until they see Nemo crossing the Moral Event Horizon before they realize Ned was the Only Sane Man . Egomaniac Hunter : Captain Nemo accuses Ned Land of being one when Ned ask him permission to hunt whales only because he wants to. "And to what purpose?" replied Captain Nemo; "only to destroy!

We have nothing to do with the whale-oil on board." "But, sir," continued the Canadian, "in the Red Sea you allowed us to follow the dugong." "Then it was to procure fresh meat for my crew. Here it would be killing for killing's sake. I know that is a privilege reserved for man, but I do not approve of such murderous pastime . In destroying the southern whale (like the Greenland whale, an inoffensive creature), your traders do a culpable action, Master Land. They have already depopulated the whole of Baffin's Bay, and are annihilating a class of useful animals. Leave the unfortunate cetacea alone. They have plenty of natural enemiesï¿½cachalots, swordfish, and sawfishï¿½without you troubling them." Egopolis : Captain Nemo displays a variant when he claims an entire continent for himself, acting like a sovereign (but see Exactly What It Says on the Tin below): ...Well now!

In 1868, on this 21st day of March, I myself, Captain Nemo, have reached the South Pole at 90°, and I hereby claim this entire part of the globe, equal to oneï¿½sixth of the known continents." "In the name of which sovereign, Captain?" "In my own name, sir!" So saying, Captain Nemo unfurled a black flag bearing a gold "N" on its quartered bunting. Then, turning toward the orb of day, whose last rays were licking at the sea's horizon: "Farewell, O sun!" he called. "Disappear, O radiant orb! Retire beneath this open sea, and let six months of night spread their shadows over my new domains!" Go Mad from the Isolation : After seven months of not talking with any other human being except Captain Nemo, Professor Aronnax and Battle Butler Conseil, the independent and Book Dumb Ned Land, not interested in submarine investigation, is slowly going insane. I'll also mention that the Canadian, at the end of his strength and patience, made no further appearances.

Conseil couldn't coax a single word out of him and feared that, in a fit of delirium while under the sway of a ghastly homesickness, Ned would kill himself. So he kept a devoted watch on his friend every instant. Greater Scope Villain : The Empire that slaughtered Nemo's family, the hunting of whom is a large part of what drove Nemo to become the dangerous man he is. The sequel confirms them to be the British Empire, whom Verne's predominantly French audience would have largely thought of as a Greater Scope Villain in much of Real Life , too. Great Escape : Aronnax, Counseil and Ned Land are prisoners in the Nautilus . To regain their freedom, they must attempt a successful Great Escape because there will not be a second chance. Great White Hunter : Ned Land. Handshake Refusal : Professor Aronnax gets this treatment with Captain Nemo. Nemo doesn't distrust Aronnax , it's just to show how far Nemo has been subject to Madden Into Misanthropy : I thought the commander would offer me his hand, to seal our agreement. He did nothing of the sort. I regretted that.

Have a Gay Old Time : Goes along with the Stockholm Syndrome and the Ho Yay . For example; This man was certainly the most admirable specimen I had ever met. Heel Realization : After Captain Nemos Kick the Dog moment, Wide-Eyed Idealist Aronnax realizes the true price of his travels with Captain Nemo: "He had made me, if not an accomplice, at least an eyewitness to his vengeance! Even this was intolerable." He Who Fights Monsters : Captain Nemo Majored in Western Hypocrisy and wants revenge against The Empire . He creates an N.G.O. Superpower with a Oddly Small Organization with her own Con Lang , he claims a continent in his name, creates the Nautilus to conquer The Final Frontier (the sea) and to use it as a Weapon of Mass Destruction , insists in only using sea related products , and the prisoners he considers valuable are placed in a Gilded Cage but those who not are mercilessly destroyed . Trying to destroy The Empire , he ends creating a society very much like it . He Knows Too Much : The reason Aronnax, Conseil and Ned Land will remain prisoners of the Nautilus and cannot come back to Civilization. Ever.

(Captain Nemo lets them abandon the Nautilus and explore land, but it is always on uncivilized shores). Captain Nemo explains: "... You came to surprise a secret which no man in the world must penetrateï¿½the secret of my whole existence. And you think that I am going to send you back to that world which must know me no more? Never! In retaining you, it is not you whom I guardï¿½it is myself." Hidden Depths : All of the main characters, from Ned Land (who is surprisingly knowledgeable about marine life despite his Book Dumb personality) to Nemo (see Wicked Cultured ) show this at times. " It is a massacre of mischievous creatures," replied the Captain; "and the Nautilus is not a butcher's knife." Hypercompetent Sidekick : Conseil, at least when it comes to cataloging wildlife. I Am the Noun : Captain Nemo: "I am the law, and I am the judge!

I am the oppressed, and there is the oppressor!" Idiot Hero : Verne's writing constantly informs us (and Conseil and Aronnax repeatedly lampshade) that Ned Land is a Hot-Blooded , Great White Hunter , Big Eater Real Men Eat Meat Book Dumb badass who is from Canada . Ned Land's personality also makes him the Only Sane Man capable of resisting Captain Nemo's charisma. I'm a Humanitarian : Ned Land (jokingly) threatens to eat Conseil if he doesn't get something other than fish to eat soon. Impaled with Extreme Prejudice : The Nautilus's primary weapon is a ramming spur. Nemo has no compunctions about using it against wildlife he doesn't like or against shipping that's flying the flags of nations he doesn't approve of. Instant Death Bullet : Nemo's electric bullets kill anything in one hit except cephalopods, where it just goes right through. I Owe You My Life : Ned Land saves Nemo from a shark early on, and later is saved in turn from a giant squid. Ironic Echo : When the Nautilus is stranded, Nemo refers to it as an incident, not an accident.

When trapped beneath the ice in the South Pole, Arronax asks again, only to be told this time it's an accident. Ironic Name : Conseil (Advice or counsel, in French) never gives advice, be he asked to or not. Is It Something You Eat? : Stock line from Ned Land, whose only interest in wildlife is culinary. Just Between You and Me : Subverted because Nemo never shares the evil part of his Evil Plan with Aronnax, just because he is ashamed of it . However, Nemo is constantly sharing all the information about the Nautilus and his scientific investigations about the Sea with Professor Aronnax , not because he will kill him, but because Nemo pretends that Aronnax will never abandon the Nautilus . Is it indiscreet to ask how you discovered this tunnel?" "Sir," the captain answered me, "there can be no secrets between men who will never leave each other." I ignored this innuendo and waited for Captain Nemo's explanation.

Kick the Dog : Captain Nemo is implied to have destroyed ships with civilians and military crew, but the act of following up an attack with the Nautilus observing the horrible death of all the unnamed ship's crew on purpose, without losing any detail, is when Nemo crosses the Moral Event Horizon . Professor Guinea Pig : In a variation, Professor Aronnax is willing to sacrifice his own freedom for the rest of his life for the rare chance to discover all the seaï¿½s secrets in the Nautilus. Psycho Electric Eel : Done with an electric ray that shocks Conseil out of his Third-Person Person and Stoic demeanor. In revenge, he eats it for dinner (but as noted by the professor, solely out of vengeance, because it wasn't even that good). Race Lift : As explained in Mysterious Island , Nemo is an Indian prince, but was originally envisioned as being from Poland (which the original illustrations portray him as). Rage Against the Heavens : Captain Nemo at times. See Freudian Excuse . Ramming Always Works : Why the Nautilus needs a custom-built prow.

Real Men Eat Meat : A problem for Ned Land, who is a most manly man, and the Nautilus rarely goes even remotely close to shore. He does eventually get some pork... and promptly stops wailing about not having meat when they almost are murdered by natives. The Remnant : Nemo and the Sepoy Uprising. Start My Own : A lesser man would just become jaded and cut all ties with society, but Captain Nemo starts his own society recruiting other jaded men who hate The Empire , training them to build and operate the Nautilus , speak their own language , obtain all their resources from the sea , claim the South Pole , finance the Cretan Rebellion and converting themselves into an N.G.O. Superpower . "if I can trust my hunches, if I truly understand the captain's way of life, his Nautilus isn't simply a ship. It's meant to be a refuge for people like its commander, people who have severed all ties with the shore." Stockholm Syndrome : One of the rare non-romantic examples, outside of Ho Yay . (In fact, there are practically no women in the book at all.) Submarine Pirates : The Trope Maker .

Suspiciously Specific Denial : When Captain Nemo asks the Power Trio to promise not trying to seeï¿½ ï¿½something they must not seeï¿½, he could not phrase it without sounding sinister and exciting Aronnax' suspicions: Sympathy for the Devil : Professor Aronnax is fascinated by Wicked Cultured Captain Nemo and his creation, the Nautilus , for seven months, and he certainly wants to delay the Great Escape to see more submarine marvelsï¿½ until he sees Nemo Kick the Dog and cross the Moral Event Horizon . That Man Is Dead : Whoever Nemo was before he became "The Nameless Avenger", that man is so dead there is no reason to even mention him. He used to be an Indian prince, until the British slaughtered the entire royal court for their role in an Indian uprising. That included his wife and his child. "...I am dead, Professor; as much dead as those of your friends who are sleeping six feet under the earth!" These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know : Ned Land's opinion about the beauty of the South Poleï¿½s icebergs (just before the Nautilus will be trapped by them). "It's a wonderful sight!

Isn't it, Ned?" "Oh damnation, yes!" Ned Land shot back. "It's superb! I'm furious that I have to admit it. Nobody has ever seen the like. But this sight could cost us dearly . And in all honesty, I think we're looking at things God never intended for human eyes." True Companions : Captain Nemo claims (and the few interactions Aronnax had with the Nautilus crew never shows us any different) that this is the relationship between the crew: .."The Nautilus suffered a collision that cracked one of the engine levers, and it struck this man. My chief officer was standing beside him. This man leaped forward to intercept the blow. A brother lays down his life for his brother, a friend for his friend, what could be simpler? That's the law for everyone on board the Nautilus"'' ï¿½bermensch Captain Nemo is an Unbuilt Trope : A Wicked Cultured Well-Intentioned Extremist who claims to be Above Good and Evil because he has done with the society and is practically above any law of the civilized nations thanks to the power of his submarine, the Nautilus .

ï¿½However, he is a Deconstruction of the trope, because the contradiction between his unlimited power (that let him cross the Moral Event Horizon ) and his compassionate nature causes him a Villainous Breakdown . This dialogue between him and Professor Aronnax lampshade it 14 years before Also Sprach Zarathustra: This was said plainly. A flash of anger and disdain kindled in the eyes of the Unknown, and I had a glimpse of a terrible past in the life of this man . Not only had he put himself beyond the pale of human laws, but he had made himself independent of them, free in the strictest acceptation of the word, quite beyond their reach! Who then would dare to pursue him at the bottom of the sea, when, on its surface, he defied all attempts made against him? What vessel could resist the shock of his submarine monitor? What cuirass, however thick, could withstand the blows of his spur? No man could demand from him an account of his actions; God, if he believed in one -- his conscience, if he had one -- were the sole judges to whom he was answerable .

Undying Loyalty : Exaggerated with Conseil, Professor Aronnax's servant. He risks his life to save his employer not once, but twice in the novel. When Aronnax talks with Ned Land about the Great Escape , Conseil considers himself one with his master's decision. "Your friend Conseil," the fine lad replied serenely, "has nothing to say for himself. He's a completely disinterested party on this question... He's in Master's employ, he thinks like Master, he speaks like Master, and much to his regret, he can't be counted on to form a majority. Only two persons face each other here: Master on one side, Ned Land on the other. That said, your friend Conseil is listening, and he's ready to keep score." I couldn't help smiling as Conseil wiped himself out of existence. What happened that night, how the skiff escaped from the Maelstrom's fearsome eddies, how Ned Land, Conseil, and I got out of that whirlpool, I'm unable to say. But when I regained consciousness, I was lying in a fisherman's hut on one of the Lofoten Islands.

My two companions, safe and sound, were at my bedside clasping my hands. We embraced each other heartily . Villainous Breakdown : Inverted: after Captain Nemo crosses the Moral Event Horizon for the last time, he breaks down not because his plans aren't working but because he is not Above Good and Evil . He also could have voluntarily run the Nautilus into The Maelstrom (an enormous whirlpool). Wealthy Philanthropist : Captain Nemo is fabulously wealthy thanks to both his initial fortune and that he's the only one with the technology to loot sunken galleons, which he uses to both help the oppressed and any people fighting the British. Weapon of Mass Destruction : At the state of technology in 1869, the Nautilus is this: a submarine could easily destroy any ship in the sea without possibility of being persecuted when submerged in the sea. Nemoï¿½s Kick the Dog moment shows how terrible its destructive power really is. Vulcania | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Vulcania is the secret island port of origin for the Nautilus and Captain Nemo 's one land-based home.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Vulcania is not mentioned in the original Jules Verne novel. Not much is stated about the fictional island in the 1954 film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea . It is briefly mentioned by Nemo after he shows Pierre Aronnax the penal colony of Rura Penthe. A later scene has Ned Land locate the island on a nautical chart. The island is only very briefly visited near the end of the film, during which time only a few brief glimpses are seen. Several docks are visible, suggesting that the lagoon contains a harbor for the Nautilus and possibly other boats. Several much larger buildings are visible, but their purpose is unknown.

Question: Who captained the Nautilus in "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea"?
Answer: Nemo
