HORROR MOVIE : FROM HELL

          From Hell is a mystery horror movie which directed by the Hughes brothers and starring by Johnny Depp who played an important role as Inspector Frederick Abberrline. This movie was actually an adaptation from comic book series which talked about Jack the Ripper murders.

                  This movie quickly introduces you to Abberline, the visionary police officer who had to investigate murder cases which involved the prostitutes that happened in London. He and his assistant, Peter Godley were responsible to figure out who was actually the murderer of these all prostitutes. The killer was absolutely very cruel and heartless. He will cut his victims’ throat first to prevent them from screaming. Then, he proceeded to kill them like a ritual. On the other side, this movie brought you to know Mary Kelly, a young and beautiful prostitute. There is a connection between Mary Kelly and the victims where they were actually best friends. During the investigation, Abberline met Mary Kelly and both of them eventually fall in love with each other.

JACK THE RIPPER

             Jack the Ripper is an unidentified serial murderer who had kill lots of prostitutes in district of London in 1888. He can also be known as The Whitechapel Murderer and Leather Apron. It is believed that there were five victims of Jack the Ripper. Amongst them were Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Kelly.

          In my opinion, this thriller movie was such an interesting movie. The plot of this movie went smoothly and I totally did not feel bored at all watching this movie. Plus, there were lots of unexpected scene happened along this movie. For example, at the last scene when Abberline died because he took too many drugs. I did not expect this scene will take place since I expect that Abberline will live happily ever after with Mary Kelly. Although this kind of things occurred, I still love this movie and wish to watch it again in the future.

BIOGRAPHICAL MOVIE : THE PIANIST

         The Pianist is a biographical war movie which directed by Roman Polanski and starring Adrien Brody who got an Oscar for his role. It was about Wladyslaw Szpilman ( Adrien Brody), a famous Polish Jews who was working as the pianist for Warsaw Radio. This story begins when the Nazis first arrived and started to take over their place. This has made them living in hunger, death and humiliation. It was a privileged when Szpilman is saved from a labour camp and this makes him hiding, battling illness and searching for his own foods in order to survive.

         Because of his determination and efforts to survive, he succeeds to bear up until to the end. I felt very satisfied when the Jews gets back their freedom while Szpilman returned to his normal life and started to play piano again. He is not a hero, but he is totally a survivor in this movie.

         At first, I thought this movie was really bored since I was the one who did not have any interest on war movie at all. Plus, I did not really get what they are talking about due to the sound system seems to be little bit slow. The scene when they talked in German also has made me lost since there is no subtitle available.  However, this movie has made my eyes opened widely when I watched the scene where Nazis, the heartless people has tortured and murdered an innocent people. For example, an old man in a wheelchair was thrown through a window by the Nazis. It was like I was in that movie and I can feel all those pains that the innocent people faced. Other scene that has touched my heart is when Szpilman was playing piano. The rhythm of the music sounds really wonderful. That was when I found out that this movie was actually an interesting movie.

         In my opinion, this movie has made me realize that I lived in such a harmony and peaceful country. I really cannot imagine how I will manage my life if I stayed in those cruel and heartless countries. As a Malaysian, we should be grateful since there is no symbol of torturing and murdering an innocent people in our country.
