Estoy cien por ciento de acuerdo. Miren a la adaptación de la Casa de los Espíritus de Isabel Allende, otra historia de una familia usando el realismo mágico. La adaptación fue bien floja.

Woah. Never thought Netflix would ever adapt this into a show or film. One Hundred Years of Solitude is one of my father’s favorite novels growing up. It’s by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It’s technically about this family who had this curse that gets passed on from one generation to the next. I hope they do justice to this adaptation. I have faith that this will be great.

if you actually read the book, you would be pretty sceptical about any adaptation... magical realism works very well on page, but Ive never seen anyone even try to adapt it on screen.

Knowing Netflix, it is a pipe dream. When Netflix greenlits a show, it usually has to contain a gay or lesbian, a stromg female character and a man deprived of his masculinity. That is netflix

[@vaishnavi12123]

As I write this, I'm just beginning to write a research paper on the maddening masterpiece that this book is. Far far away from Colombia and the historical time of One Hundred Years of Solitude, today in India I'm trembling with a feeling that's a mix of everything from fear to rage to conviction to misery to joy to solitude. It can't be an accident that I stumbled upon this today, of all days. I feel I am so far removed from the history of Latin America and its solitude and yet so closely nestled with Macando and the Buendia family. It's an enchanted place where constructs like ethnicities and nationalities just fade away and we are all one person and everyone at once. It's a place beyond the exigencies of life and yet so tenaciously rooted in it that one keeps wondering if one exists or not, if one exists as oneself or as all of the people they have came across, if one exists in one moment or through all the moments in the history of mankind.

One Hundred Years of Solitude, in addition to being the most important literary work in Latin America, was brought to DISNEY through the movie 🇨🇴 ENCANTO in the Hollywood series House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones from HBOMAX and now on Netflix. Colombian pride 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴 100%

[@oscaraquite5655]

The only thing that Encanto and 100 years of Solitude have in common is that both are multigenerational stories. The rest is completely different.

[@sophiaisabelle01]

Netflix is officially bringing this masterpiece to the big screen. It’s the first adaptation of the novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez that we will finally get to see.

[@lulissantiago3972]

Any update, folks?

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

As a Colombian this novel means a lot to me. I'm not sure if it can be properly adapted. Some books are almost impossible to adapt without losing part of its identity. An other book that comes to mind would be House Of Leaves, i cant see that being adapted well.

[@mayraalejandragonzalezeraz5886]

I'm also from Colombia so I understand you. Obviously there are things that are going to change like Remedios age in the moment to marry el coronel Aureliano, however I want a good adaptation of the plot that represent our history, the Colombian culture, and el realismo mágico. I also want a Colombian casting, and the series being filmed in Colombia.

[@runnerwithagun]

I'm not from Columbia but I agree with both of you. It'll have to be a masterpiece to really convey the themes of the story while also capturing a piece of Columbia at the same time. It seems it will be very difficult to blend the realism and the fiction together outside of the book

[@Jacob32905]

They have to make this perfect, or else it won’t live up to the book. I hope they make it into a series of (say) one-and-half hour installments, that way they can dedicate each installment to a specific section of the book, such as episode 2 being the about the War.

One Hundred Years of Solitude reminds me of my school days. I love a girl more than my life at that time. We loved, cared, and were mad at each other. Time took it to turn and she left to a man of incredible fortune. I was heartbroken, wandering through the streets of Mumbai, not knowing what to do. Then start lifting myself up and reached where I am now. Then like a love story, something happened in her life and she left the guy she chose over me. We met a dozen years later and she was all down and dusted. I talked to her and I never know how those years just intensified my love for her. I know that time, time only makes love goes strong; and not the opposite.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" is the best book I have ever read in my life. I can't wait to watch this adaptation from Netflix. My question is, would it be possible to show all the different stories, and situations inside the book? I'm sure this is going to be huge challenge for Netflix since this is one of the best masterpiece in Latin America literature. Reading this book is a wonderful trip to our imagination, every time I read it I find new things and I really love it. When I read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" for the first time I understood the real meaning of being Colombian, it is a good way for other people to understand the concept of being bilingual and bicultural. Definitely this is favorite book.

A moment of silence for those who have not yet read "Pedro páramo" by Juan Rulfo the novel that inspired Gabriel Marquez to write in the magical realism style. Marquez said he memorized and could recite the whole novel and even tell you in what page was which quote. "Pedro Paramo" and "one hundred years of solitude" are not alike, but both are written in the magical realism style. Pedro páramo a more DARK very very dark masterpiece*
