The role of Jude Law is very limited in the movie, but this character is very important in the later story.
The movie still perfectly shows the gloomy and strange atmosphere of the novel. The difference from the novel is probably that Earl Olaf is arrested at the end of the movie, and the three orphans seem to be out of danger. But the struggle between the orphans and Olaf in the novel lasts for a long, long time, and the youngest orphan starts to talk == The end of the movie is still bright, the novel is the opposite.
In addition, in fact, the selected part of the novel of the movie is not too expanded, the later novels involve more and more things, and more characters appear. However, most of the characters that appeared later were bad guys, or Olaf's associates, or were bought by Olaf, or used by Olaf. Anyway, bad guys are everywhere in this novel, and good guys can be counted with one hand.
There are many unsolved puzzles in the movie, the same is true in the novel, and many things are not clear at the end. The author is actually in this style.
It is not mentioned in the movie. The relationship between the parents of the orphans and Olaf is actually very complicated, and the more things are revealed later, the more mysterious the parents of the orphans who died.
In addition, the writing of the novel was flat and straightforward in the first few books, but in the later, the novel itself has almost become a codebook, which is very interesting and special.
