The similarities of books and movie of A Series of Unfortunate Events?

Answer 1

The movie has a few similarities to the first 3 books but it had major differences. During the beginning of the movie, the Baudelaire orphans went back to the remains of their parent's house to look at it and their remaining possessions. Clause the finds a gold spy glass in his father's office in a burnt drawer. Also the play is at the end of the movie which is after Aunt Josephine died. When they were with Count Olaf, Violet and Clause talked about when their parents were in Europe and they sent a letter which got lost in the mail and never came to the children. When they were with Uncle Monty, they saw a spy glass in his belt which looked exactly the same as the one Clause found. Uncle Monty said that his wife and children had also died in a fire. When the children were with Aunt Josephine they found a photo with Uncle Monty, Aunt Josephine and her husband and their parents with spy glasses in their hands. They also found a photo of a pentagon with an eye in the middle in Aunt Josephine's husband's office. They later found out that the photo with their parents in it was an organisation which investigated fires. They later find out that their parents said something which is not mentioned in the movie about some causes of the fires. At the end of the movie when Clause is trying to save Sunny from the tower he looks out the window which was like a big round glass. When the sun shone, the holes in the roof made lights which caught on the big round glass causing the paper which Violet signed for the marriage to burst into flames. So it wasn't the situation about the right and left hand in the book. Clause looked carefully into the window glass and saw his parents house level with it so he concluded that Count Olaf caused the fire.
