From Hell is a movie adaptation of the popular murder case, Jack the Ripper in London, around the year of 1888. The movie was directed by Hughes Brothers and the movie was released in 2001. Even though the movie was using one of the hottest actors in America which is Johnny Depp, the fact doesn’t help much in highlighting this movie in the public eyes.
Based on my opinion, as I watched the movie, there are lots of differences with the original case. Despite I was just doing my observation hundred per cent relying on various articles from the internet, but I strongly feel that the situations are mostly different. As a watcher, honestly I was excited when I was about to watch the movie version of the case, but halfway of the movie, lots of doubts started to kick in.
People are eager to know who is he...
Maybe the producer and the director have their own reasons why they interpreted the movie in differ ways from the movie, but I bet the public are mostly left unsatisfied. Because usually, when there were any true events happening in the past and were decided to be adapted into a movie version, people will be more eager to relate to the case because the realness of the case could be felt throughout the movie IF the movie is successful.
For an obvious example, one of the victims from the case, Mary Kelly, supposed to be killed but in the movie, it was the opposite. By using the actress Heather Graham, she played well of the character but for people who understand the actual event, would notice few differences in her characteristics.
Like I’ve said before, maybe the production team of the movie have their own reason in changing the flow of the real story. And I have thought of one thing, that the reason might be because of “Jack the Ripper” case was still unsolved until today. Therefore, maybe that’s was their way in spicing up the movie. But for those who don’t know anything about the case or the movie, don’t make a quick assumption. Watch first.
Maybe one of them?
