As its title suggests THE FABULOUS WORLD OF JULES VERNE is an awe -inspiring, meticulous cinematic rendering of the aesthetic and conceptual inventions of proto-science fiction genius Jules Verne, based on one of the famed author's lesser known short stories. However, the real star of the film is the intricate art direction, successfully rendering the visual style of nineteenth century woodcuts and engravings into motion pictures, creating a stylized and surreal graphic world within which Verne’s fanciful tale unfolds. A brilliant scientist, Dr. Roche, perches high above a stormy sea, inventing a powerful explosive, when he and his assistant are kidnapped by an evil businessman, Artigas. Taken by submarine to Artigas' volcano headquarters, Roche is tricked into developing his experiment for evil intentions. The scientist’s assistant, Simon, struggles all the while to free himself and warn Roche. A magical world of baroque submarines and sailing ships, killer octopus, undersea bicycles dazzles audiences as human actors, puppetry, animation and fanciful scenic design interact to create a cinematic experience that is unique by any standards. Mixing slapstick comedy, action adventure pacing and Mélies style film magic, this little known Czechoslovakian gem transcends the juvenile literature at its source to create cinematic art of the highest order....

在这个名为地球的蓝色小星球上，其奇怪的居民生活和死亡只有一个主要原因：杀戮。结果，在人类令人厌恶的虚伪背后，死亡、毁灭、邪恶、致命的社会矛盾和道德荒谬都隐藏在众目睽睽之下；人类似乎与暴力有着千丝万缕的联系，陷入了血腥和战争的恶性循环。在两者之间，是无定形的无边无际的死时间虚空。

部着名的纪录片是在二战时期,由纳粹国家机器操纵的宣传机器,为希特勒歌功颂德的大作，由大名鼎鼎的雷妮·瑞芬斯塔尔导演完成. 　　后者是皮特·柯恩的影片，不太有名，但是颠覆了所谓“德意志的胜利”──那不过是一个疯子和屠夫的意志。 　　前者反映的是:纳粹之伟大意志之火炬，万众一心，手持火炬，照耀着柏林，照耀着元首之场面,用尽宣传之手段粉饰一个所谓的"千年帝国,盛世王朝,超人的国度"…… 　　而后者反映的:"胜利"与"强大"面具下的罪恶,战争的血腥残酷,硝烟里的一片废墟,生灵涂炭,犹太人的苦难，恐怖集中营和腐臭尸骨堆

短片全部以火柴制作完成。片头火柴组成的圈内，数字不断进行倒计时，当数字为2的时候，一个包裹着“1”的球撞了过来，仿佛地球初生之际与彗星的相撞，从此这颗新生星球上有了水，水孕育了生命。史前鱼类自由游弋，其中有一部分走上陆地，不断进化成为恐龙。食草和食肉恐龙一度称霸地球，却无法改变自己被毁灭的命运。幸存下来的啮齿类动物继续进化，从类人猿到人类，从野蛮到文明，所一以贯之的是，人类从来没有停止相互伤害杀戮的行为。冷兵器升级为热兵器，乃至毁灭性武器。 　　难不成出生就是为了最后的毁灭……
