From Hell


Distinguish between facts and fictions that are portrayed in the movie & which aspect of the plot that is accurate to the historical fact in the JTR murders and which aspect of the plot that is based on the filmmakers’ own imagination.

I have read the story about Jack the Ripper and watched From Hell starring Johnny Deep and Heather Graham, I notice that there have different between facts and fiction  that are portrayed in the movie and historical fact in the Jack the Ripper.  In the film, Martha Tabram is describe to be killed by having her throats and vagina cut off but in real life she had suffered 39 stab wounds. She was stabbed rather than slashed at the throat and abdomen.  Second victim if I not mistaken was Polly Nichols had one of her organs removed but in reality no organs were missing. No grape stalks were found at any of the crime scenes like the film. We all know that Mary Jane Kelly is actually the last victims of the ripper, but in the film she is not the last victim but another girl being murdered in Mary’s bed.  There is nothing to say that Mary survived and live with Alice, Anna daughter in Ireland.

                Marry Jane Kelly was died when her throat had been severed down to the spine, and the abdomen virtually emptied of its organs, and the heart was missing. In the film, the murder put the Mary heart in a jar. In the film, Ada, stride friends have been mistaken as Mary.  There also no evidence that all the victims was a friends although they came from same area. In the film, Martha, Marry, Polly, Annie, Liz and Catherine was friends and always been together.  There also no evidence that Inspector Frederick Abberline used opium or drug and less being addicted to “chasing the dragon” and died alone commit suicide, immediately after the Ripper murders. The true is Abberline is retired in 1892 until 1929 and died in his house.
