Mysterious Captain Nemo is driven by the need for revenge, but his motives are never fully explained. There's a good deal of violence against animals and butchery of sea creatures, as well. The scene ends with Nemo in front of the portrait of his wife and children, sobbing. It also includes some violent scenes, especially of shipwrecks and their drowned victims, as well as a dramatic attack against a ship and its crew by a group of giant squid, which costs a crew member his life another dies after an incident that isn't described. The Nautilus rams the ship, causing it to sink with all its crew. Member Andrew Nashs website contains all the English title variations.
