What she says: I’m fine
What she means: What time period does A Series of Unfortunate Events actually take place? There is mention of horse-drawn carriages, but also of motor cycles and automobiles, but the way the three Baudelaires dress is indicative of the nineteen hundred-something’s. Characters are dressed in both early twentieth century clothing as well as up to date clothing. There is mention of computers, fax, and phones but some things seem rather dated. What time in history is it??
I remember reading an interview with Lemony Snicket when I was a kid, where they basically asked him that exact question.
His answer was “the year of the Rat”.
when i watched the film i was extra confused because i thought they were Victorian but count olaf was drinking a slurpee so i just lost all sense of direction
I think that’s the point
Lemony Snicket’s entire career was based on fucking with everyone
