Editing Guidelines |
Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:
- If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
- Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded. |
[edit] where did this phrase came from?
"However, the accuracy and attention to detail in the re-creation of Whitechapel and Spitalfields (based on period photographs) is very impressive." Nonsense, for starters the 5 victims did not knew each other to begin with, nor did the movie explained why it was so hard to catch the killer to begin with (partially because of the way the killings took place, a novelty at the time, and partially because the existing laws of the time, such as entering a church for example). There is detailed information about the gruesome nature of some of the crimes and details of how they were killed, yet most of the victims are not portrayed as they were in real life (the attention seems to come only at the characters as victims). One detail that is quite impressive though, is how the detective recognizes how Martha Tabram was killed not by the same killer, quite impressive i must say that the director took notice of that (even include martha tabram), yet at the time there were little knoledge about serial killers or forensic for such bold statement to be as believable as it is. Theres no mistake to make, the movie is only losely based on the actual event, and shares more with the comic than with real events.
I think the sentence was referring to the recreation of 1880s Whitechapel and Spitalfields in terms of architecture, costume etc. That was probably the only good thing in the film. i live in Whitechapel and it was fascinating to see what it would have been like before the slum clearances, the Blitz, post-war development etc.
- Oh... well, then i suppose its alright then.
