love the ending - spoiler

I just watched this movie for johnny at first, and didn't have much hope for the Ripper theme. Nothing more than the bloody, violent, perverted, and perpetually foggy streets of 19th-century London. However, as the plot unfolded, I became interested in things other than johnny's handsome appearance. First of all, the identity of the Ripper has a specific explanation in this film. It is not novel, but it is still relevant-a cult is indeed suitable for this dark subject. By the way, when I saw the murderer preparing for the murder, I almost thought it was another "Secret Window" -- a schizophrenic and perverted murder. . . Second, I feel like there are a lot of transitions in the whole movie that really caught my eye. . . A transition that fits the atmosphere. The end is the end. . In fact, when I saw the ending, I felt that this was a non-repeatable thing worth watching. Until the last moment, I really couldn't bear to believe that the detective never went to find Mary. Even in the detective's last dream about his sweetheart, I hoped again and again that little Alice would follow the detective, and they hugged in relief. . But no, there is only a drowsy and lonely death when not dreaming or awake.

    The decadent and charming temperament, the desolate and sad ending, the moment when the silver coins cover the eyes, the tears flow freely...

    Jack the Ripper: One day men will look back and say I gave birth to the Twentieth Century.

From Hell quotes

  • Constable Withers: You could be dead... right now. But then there would be too many bloody questions.

  • Lord Hallsham: How did he find out about the unfortunate and her child?

    Sir Charles Warren: Well, he has that kind of cleverness you'll sometimes find in the middle classes. A cheap sort of intelligence, but effective nevertheless.

    Lord Hallsham: Hmm. Thank God that's not something you're burdened by.

    Sir Charles Warren: Yes, thank God.
