no and no.
the story is not way off. if you read the facts of the case, it's very, very close. the way the prostitutes were murdered, the characters, the letters, what was observed, what was written, the dialogue... most of this stuff came directly from the original case files, papers, etc.
the only major things they "guessed" on was: who jack the ripper was, why he did it, and what happened to him after the murders. but even the so-called ripperologists can only guess on these.
ur31337, i think the movie insinuates that jack the ripper was being led by a higher power, at least in his demented mind.
