#100 years of solitude netflix

[algumaideia]

I fear how they are going to portray the female characters of 100 years of solitude. They never complain about the patriarchy or their oppression, they never think about it, they just leave their lives and that is what I like so much about them. You can see the oppression in the book, you can see how it affects and harms the women, but the book also shows that women's live in the past was not only about those things. We see them thrive and have agency and decide their destiny, their fall. We see them being as horrible and disgusting as the men, being victims and perpetrators.

Ursula is the one who connects Macondo to the outside world, she is the one who rebuilds the house, has a sucessful business and her opinions shape the community.

None of the women in the book who didn't want to marry married someone by force.

A lot of them chose their terrible ending, their loneliness, their suffering.

I'm not sure if 100 years of solitude is a feminist book, but I don't wanna see its female characters reduced to lack of nuance and girlbosses.

Netflix did 100 years of Solitude. Total 16 eps planned, and 8 eps are already out.

People said that that book would be hard to be translated into visual media. Honestly, I don't agree, and after studying his work in secondary school, i could only ever want a movie/series adapation of his books.

With the way Gabriel Garcia Marquez writes and the whole visual description that we will inevitably get with magic realism, video seems to be the best way to go. I'm glad we've come to the point in technology that we could effectively bring his stories to the screen.

This show captured the magic realism really well. Wished more people were watching it and talking about this show.

Tried finding a gif related to the show but couldn't find one 🥺 so here is Pedro Pascal in a Netflix show that was also filmed in Colombia.

Can't believe I went to the 100 years of solitude tag expecting hundreds of gifs, opinions and analysis on the new Netflix show like it was some sort of average American show

100 Years of Solitude show is on Netflix this is a win for the freaks all my freaks go watch it now. It’s got everything. Family that’s addicted to not learning from their history and repeating their past mistakes. Tangled incest-y family tree as a metaphor for elitism. Doomed child bride as a metaphor for selfishness. Founding matron who is forced to watch the collapse of everything she’s helped build bc it’s inherently unstable as a metaphor for selfishness AND elitism. Everyone being so egocentric that it causes everything to implode. All of my favorite things.

Can someone scream with me about the new Netflix 100 years of solitude series

100 years of solitude on netflix is so good. I was so scared starting because it's such a hard novel to turn into a visual but netflix's done such a good job ao far imo. they got the atmosphere exactly right. it feels exactly like you're reading the novel. they captured the essence of every detail. to me it feels like a warm memory from when i was a teenager reading the book while waiting for the bus after school which is so funny considering the story but anyway the show feels right. it represents the soul of the book very well so far.

Wait is that a book cover for 100 years of solitude (referring to your pfp) when I was looking the book up none of the designs, but especially colors where that pretty

No, it is an art Netflix made I guess.

This was how I found it

Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.

100 Years of Solitude is one of my favourite novels, and I'm going into the Netflix adaptation with an open mind. Three minutes in and I'm already feeling choked up at how beautiful it looks. (The basket full of ants. Amaranta Úrsula on the bed. The overgrowing jungle reclaiming the house. Aureliano's fingers running over Devanagari script.)

Had to stop scrolling to make sure my dad knows about the "100 Years of Solitude" adaptation on Netflix! I don't know if this is still the case, but it was one of his favorite books for a long time!! He even wanted to name me after one of the character names from it. ("Remedios"; if I recall correctly, there were multiple characters w the name. I think they all die tragically though. But it's a nice name! 😅)

He already saw the trailer, and said he's excited to watch it! I don't know if I will; I don't remember how far through the novel I got, but I know I didn't finish it. But that may have had more to do with the fact that I was overwhelmed w schoolwork and in the process of failing out of college 😬(the book was assigned reading for a class i didn't end up passing.) It's really good, obviously, but very, uh, grim and miserable, as the title might suggest.

The show does look very cool, though! And it's in Spanish!! Though my Spanish is weak enough that I'd probably have to watch with English subtitles, at least the first time around.

Cool language comprehension practice tip! Watching things you've seen before with both the audio and subs in your target language! Your understanding won't benefit that much if the subs are in your native language, bc you'll end up just tuning out the audio. But if you already know vaguely what is happening or being said, that will aid a lot in you being able to connect the dots between words you don't know, and will be way less overwhelming than trying to understand the words AND figure out what's going on at the same time. This is why my hs Spanish teacher used to show us kids movies, like Finding Nemo, in Spanish w Spanish subtitles. When watching shows in other languages on my own, I'll even pause them to look up individual words or phrases, though I try to avoid using a translator for entire sentences. (I do still do it sometimes though. But not without looking up individual words first!)

Anyway, now I'm trying to read an article about medical coding and billing for school, while magical realism is still swirling around in my head, which are not really compatible ways of thinking!

watching the netflix 100 years of solitude with my mom in the living room. My dad is also here but he’s sitting with his back to the tv because he’s boycotting the show over them not filming in aracataca

I'm now exactly halfway through the first drop of One Hundred Years of Solitude. I expected to be disappointed. I'm not. This is, so far at least, a very successful effort. What makes it so? The imagery is just right, realistic but not entirely. But the key is pure language, and this is a novel all about the power of language. By including large volumes of text, pure García Márquez, the magic is unchained.

“Up until his death, in 2014, García Márquez claimed that the book was impossible to commit to film. ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude,’ he said, ‘is written against the cinema’—which is why, following its publication in 1967, the author repeatedly rejected attempts to purchase the rights,” Li writes. “He insisted that the scope and voice of his most famous book would work on-screen only if it were told in Spanish over the course of 100 hours—or, according to other reports, a full 100 years."
