I read the Beyond the Sea thread and was struck by all the translations. What occurred to me was that it is the movie, not the song which makes more sense to add to the storyline of LOST. Like a big fat dropped Hint. Beyond the Sea is the song she sang, and plays during the final credits of Finding Nemo.....(Captain Nemo)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysterious_Island

From the above link:

The 'mystery' of the island seems comes from periodic inexplicable deus ex machinas which occasionally prevent disaster. But these episodes seem to neither reinforce nor undermine the theme. Nor are they a particularly powerful engine for the plot.

It is only in the very end that there is some resolution. A volcanic eruption threatens to destroy the island and the castaways find themselves trapped on a small rock. Captain Nemo arrives with the Nautilus to save them, and it is explained that he was the source of the mysterious aid. Within that context, all of the previous action can be reinterpreted as an experiment by Nemo. His observation of the island utopia created by the castaways causes Nemo to reinvestigate his own rejection of society, as evidenced by his rescue of the castaways.


I found this and 20,000 leagues references interesting and wanted to open a discussion about it to get some other perspective. Anyone else think it was the name and not the lyrics we should have caught?

Thanks.
