Two Hundred Miles Under The Sea Or The Fisherman's Nightmare (1907)

This is Georges Méliès version of Vingt Mille Lieues Sous Les Mers: Tour Du Monde Sous-Marin, (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas: A Tour of the Underwater World) is a silent film made in 1907 by the French director Georges Méliès. The film, a parody of the novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne,[4] follows a fisherman who dreams of traveling by submarine to the bottom of the ocean, where he encounters both realistic and fanciful sea creatures, including a chorus of naiads.

Plot

Yves, a fisherman, comes home after a tiring day of fishing and soon falls asleep. In his dream, he is visited by the Fairy of the Ocean, who leads him to a submarine. Yves is made Lieutenant-in-Command and sets off on a submarine voyage.

A panorama of undersea views follow, including shipwrecks, underwater grottoes, huge shellfish, sea nymphs, sea monsters, starfish, mermaids, and a ballet of naiads. The ballet is interrupted by Yves, whose inexperience with submarines leads him to run his craft aground on a rock. Yves leaves the wrecked submarine and chases after the departing naiads, but is attacked by huge fish and crabs. He escapes and travels past further underwater marvels, including underwater caves, anemones, corals, giant seahorses, and an octopus that attacks him. However, in vengeance for all the fish Yves has caught in his career, goddesses of the sea trap the fisherman in a net and let him fall into a gigantic hollow sponge, from which he struggles to escape.

Waking up from the dream, Yves realizes that he has fallen from his bed into his bathtub, and is entangled in his own fishing net. His neighbors and friends free him from the confusion, and he treats them all to drinks at the nearest café.

Sadly, Eadie, you can't do that with Imgur. Sad

It doesn't work like Photobucket. You have to either resize them all one-at-a-time after uploading them, or you have to use your computer to resize them BEFORE uploading them.

That's what I do. It's not hard. Download Paint.net and learn how to use it. It's easy. Very Happy

I've been resizing your over-sized jpegs for you, but I can't figure out what albums in your Imgur account your using! Organizing your images with logical album names is very important.

For example, where did you put the images above? I need to know the albums you're putting each set of images in, otherwise I have to upload them to the album called "Eadie's Pictures" and hope you'll find them if you need them again! Sad

So . . . where did you put the batch shown above! Shocked

However, I have good news for you and Butch!

I just paid the monthly fee for your Photobucket account, so you can start using it instead of the stupid new Imgur system, which I hate as much as you do!

Hell's bells, it cost less per month now than what I spend each day as Phat Daddy's Cafe for breakfast (WITHOUT the tip), so you now have access to all Butch's PB images! Cool

Please put your images in the appropriate PB albums from now on so you (and I) can find them when we need them! Laughing

Those color photos are not from Méliès' film, they are recreations of that films glimpsed in the movie Hugo.
