First off this was a great movie. I thought that it was well directed, well acted, and especially well written.
I thought that the ending was great b/c it was a nice twist to what everyone knows about Jack the Ripper. I mean he had gotten away, which in a way he did, then I think the general audience would have felt cheated. The average movie goer likes to see the good win and the bad guy lose. So from a movie perpective Jack had to be caught.
Now the reason I say that Jack did get away is b/c the general public never discovered who he was, he was delt with before the authorites could get to him and since the only people that knew his true identiy were the cult and Johnny, Jack the Ripper did get away and thus stayed true to history in that respect.
The best part about the story was the reason for why Jack the Ripper killed, I mean does anybody really know why he killed hoars? The reason in the film was great b/c its something that very few would actually consider if the facts surrounding the motive are true in that the Price was sleeping with a hoar and its consiquences to the throawn. See you have to look at this movie as more than just a horror but a work of art. I mean some might say that this movie is a rape of history like JFK but both of these films offer a new and interesting perspective on events that took place in history and I think thats what makes them so entertaining is that the film makers are willing to step on some toes and make a film that they actually care about and I think that modern day movies have lost that felling. Today most people make movies for money and not for the passion of creating a work of art.
