This movie is the definition of the Hughes brother's style!

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2006)

After watching this movie for the first time, I thought it was really good, but throughout that next week, images and the look of the film stayed with me. The Hughes Brother's depiction of 19th century England is as I have always imagined; the peasantry and the upper class being so separated, the look of the buildings, people, cobblestone roads, fog, and lastly the Legend of Jack the Ripper. Also, keep an eye out for the Hughes brother's use of the camera.
This is my favorite Johnny Depp role; he is an addict, genius, poet, and is constantly haunted by the visions he receives. Johnny Depp has amazing versatility as an actor. His English accent was very surprising.
I hope any history buff or person that is interested in the Jack the Ripper case watches this film. It is truly wonderful to see.
