“Step straight into the world of Jack the Ripper and experience his crimes through the eyes of the women who were his victims. It’s educational, fun and scary!”
My word.
and torture goes on all the time. The London Dungeon and Madame Tussaud's are just two examples that have been going on for years with no-one objecting. Also, every film about killing or murder that is based on a true story could be said to be exploitative.
Time and distance make everything fair game sooner or later. Special pleading because the victims are women is just silly and rather offensive in itself.
is a man bleeding to death on a cross
photo taken with a replica of a corpse is staggeringly bad judgement.
We can find the story of Jack the Ripper and other tragedies compelling - exciting even - without such an explicit demonstration of bad taste.
It would be like the a theme ride of Titanic leaving corpses on deck. That wouldn’t happen and you know it. The story can be fun and entertaining but the victims remain sacrosanct.
do not depict him on a cross.
Nothing is sacrosanct after long enough. James Cameron was allowed to make a film depicting the horrific last moments of the Titanic - complete with convincing terror and death - nobody gave a ****.
Technically true but he was taking his bleeding time about it hence the spear in the side. In either case it was only a minor knock - back saviouring in two-three days
