I was read about the true history of
Jack the ripper, and the Johnny Deep film From Hell, I notice contrast where as
in the film, the director mostly take the storyline from Stephen Knights book
Jack The Ripper, the Final Solution, and others from the director imagination.
In the film, police
Inspector, Fredrick Abberline potrayed by Johnny Deep is known to be addicted
to Opium. However, the "real" Fredrick Abberline does not have any
history of usage of drug or even opium. In the movie, Abberline died of the
overdose of the opium drug, but the "real" Abberline died at the age
of 86 in his house.
Other than that, in the
film, we saw that all the victims of Jack the ripper are friends. However,
there are no evidence that link that all of the victim are friends even though
they came from the same area.
The way the victim was
killed is also different from the movie and real life. In the movie, Martha
Tabram is describes to be killed by having her throats and her vagina cut off.
In real life, she was discovered died from the 39 stab wounds to the chest, abdomen,
groin and thighs.
Last but not
least, in the movie, Marry Kelly escaped from the wrath of the killer. However,
Mary is actually the last known victims of the ripper. And most surprisingly,
in real life, there is no evidence that show Inspector Abberline having
relationship with Marry Kelly and he never met her before she was dead!
