Bittersweet Ending: Gull and his fellow Freemason conspirators evade justice, but Gull gets a lobotomy from them. Mary Kelly survives thanks to a case of mistaken identity, and returns to Ireland with Ann's child, safe from Gull, the Freemasons and the government, sending a letter to inform Abberline of this. Unfortunately, Abberline cannot reunite with her without risking their safety, being under the watchful eye of the Freemasons, and kills himself from an overdose out of a combination of protecting them and despair. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| From Hell / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: Johnny Depp as Inspector Abberline is more attractive than how he was in real life, or how he was drawn in the comic, where he's based on Robbie Coltrane. Ironically, Coltrane was cast in a different role. A phenomenal case of Comically Missing the Point is that the prostitutes/victims are far more attractive than in the realistic book where they look just like underfed women who live in slums would look like. Moore specifically denounced this trope when portraying them in the book, taking away the exploitation aspect in representing them which this film enforces with a straight face. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| From Hell / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: The film's one clever moment was how it efficiently replaced the visual montage of how ordinary people wrote phony letters claiming to be from Jack the Ripper with a quick scene in which the detectives read those letters with each being read with a different voice. Ann Crook is rendered catatonic by being lobotomized, while in the graphic novel she had her thyroid gland damaged/removed. The process was probably changed because a lobotomy packs more of a punch, and the audience might not be aware that loss of the thyroid gland without appropriate drugs can result in impairment of mental processes - whereas pretty much everyone knows that having a chunk of your brain cut out is almost never good for you. | |

Artistic License – Law | |
| From Hell / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: According to this film, the murders carried out by Jack the Ripper were to cover up the fact that Prince Albert Victor secretly married Ann Crook, a Catholic, and their daughter Alice is the legitimate heiress to the British throne. Except that due to various laws, no, she definitely isn't. A) The Royal Marriages Act meant that members of the British royal family needed permission from the reigning monarch to marry; since Albert certainly didn't have said permission, the marriage is automatically null and void, and any children that came from it would be bastards. B) Even if Albert had somehow gotten permission to marry Ann, the fact that she's Catholic would automatically remove him and his children from the succession, according to the Act of Settlement. The comic book doesn't have such an issue, as in it the murders are done simply to stop the scandal of the Prince having a secret marriage and child with a commoner becoming public knowledge. | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Gull is the real Jack the Ripper who's involved with the Freemasons' conspiracy and murders prostitutes to cover up The Prince's marriage with Ann. After Gull is exposed as Jack the Ripper by Abberline, it's safe to say Gull gets what he deserves when the Freemasons lobotomize him, making him a vegetable, and send him to a mental asylum to protect their image. | |

Final Girl: Mary Kelly is played pretty straight as a Final Girl as she escapes Jack the Ripper and survives after all her friends have been picked off and despite the fact that the real-life Mary Kelly didn't. However, she's also a subversion in that she doesn't kill the Ripper, just manages to avoid him and, what with being a prostitute, isn't the traditionally wholesome girl either. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| From Hell / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: The movie retains the somber mood of the original and adds some dark elements (in the graphic novel Ann Crook was not a prostitute, Abberline didn't kill himself but is an elderly narrator, Gull wasn't lobotomized (although he developed dementia and was institutionalized by Freemasons) etc. But on the whole the film is nowhere as dark as the original which tended to make Gull and Mary Kelly the protagonists and Abberline a kind of a third protagonist but stressed less than the other two. It specifically criticized the idea of a heroic "detective" solving the crime whereas Abberline is more heroic and is more active, and younger than the original. Especially the Nightmare Fuel chapter of Gull mutilating the final victim. | |

Red Herring | |
| From Hell / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Dr. Ferral is hinted to be the Ripper, as he's the one who lobotomized Ann Crook, has a reputation as the best surgeon in London, is shown being inducted into the Free Masons, and is portrayed as cold-blooded and with a lack of feeling. In actual fact he doesn't appear to know anything about the scandal or the cover-up, and it's Gull who likely arranged for Ann to be the unlucky patient and who's been committing the murders. | |

Contrast Montage | |
| From Hell / int_e3277b30 | comment |
Contrast Montage: A montage contrasts the life of William Gull (the Queen's surgeon) and Mary Kelly (a prostitute), showing how unfair Victorian life is. | |

Composite Character | |
| From Hell / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Johnny Depp's character is a cross between Abberline and Robert Lees, though physically he resembles Prince Eddy more closely. Eddy is given Walter Sickert's role of being the painter that Mary Kelly models for. | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| From Hell / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The original graphic novel is heavily based on Moore and Campbell's mountains of research and the appendices are careful to separate historical truth from semi-fictionalized conspiracy theories that simply make a good story, to outright invention on their part. The movie disregards this, and the real, historical lives of the film's characters, completely. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
| From Hell / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: A meta-subversion. One of the deleted scenes opens with a naked girl stepping out of a bath, followed by a dramatic bit having nothing to do with her. Per the commentary, the scene was deleted because the girl was so sexy, the audience was in the wrong mood for the drama. | |

Scary Symbolic Shapeshifting | |
| From Hell / int_f3f6d99c | comment |
Scary Symbolic Shapeshifting: Late in the film, Jack the Ripper is unmasked as Sir William Gull during a confrontation with Abberline; in the middle of this conversation, Jack closes his eyes in frustration, and when he opens them again, his eyes have turned pitch-black - despite Jack being an ordinary human being and the film having no overt supernatural elements apart from Abberline's "divinations." | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| From Hell / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
A phenomenal case of Comically Missing the Point is that the prostitutes/victims are far more attractive than in the realistic book where they look just like underfed women who live in slums would look like. Moore specifically denounced this trope when portraying them in the book, taking away the exploitation aspect in representing them which this film enforces with a straight face. | |
