The Letter

[Wasabi]

Read this:

It's the letter, the letter that never came. Dearest Children, Since we have been abroad we have missed you all so much. Certain events have compelled us to extend our travels. One day, where you're older, you will learn all about the people we've befriended, and the dangers we have faced. At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may, in-fact be the first steps of a journey. We hope to have you back in our arms soon darlings, but in case this letter arrives before our return, know that we love you. It fills us with pride to know that no matter what happens in this life, that you three will take care of each other with kindness, and bravery, and selflessness as you always have. And remember one thing my darlings and never forget it - that no matter where we are, know that as long as you have each other, you have your family, and you are home. Your loving parents.

For some strange feeling, I think that the Baudelaire's Parents are still alive. Post what you think.

That's something made up by the movie staff and the movie staff would not know anything whatsoever about the end of the series.

[Wasabi]

But it could be true ......

[Wizz]

Well no, Becasue the books are the real true stuff, not the film. I mean in the film it type of shows olaf burned thier house but i doubt thats true.

[twistedbrain]

You doubt Olaf burned down the Baudelaire's house?

[s]

Yeah, that letter is obviously irrelevant since it was part of the movie. This should probably be locked...

And I think, twistedbrain, that cloaked shadow means that just because the movie said so, Olaf didn't necessarily burn down the mansion with a large magnifying glass.

[twistedbrain]

I never said he used a magnifying glass, I just meant that to me, in the books, all the evidence points to Olaf. I mean, he hated their parents, and he's an arsonist wanted by the authorities.

[s]

Right. But the point is that the movie is not necessarily true to the books; therefore, any possible evidence presented in it can be considered inconsequential.

It's too bad that Dante is on holiday and cannot lock this. It is really important to understand that the movie company wanted to fluff up the film and make it a bit warm and happy, which is the only reason they put in the part about the letter. We cannot get any substantial information from the film, as we have previously discussed.

...I'd like to point out that there is another active moderator of these sections.

Indeed, anything that happens in the movie is irrevelent to the actual book series, since the script was written by someone other than Daniel Handler.
Locked.
