One Hundred Years of Solitude | Best Summary
Never mind film, it’s my favourite book ever and I grew up with Harry Potter!
This movie is a masterpiece .
1364 pages explained in less than 10 minutes 😂
That's what we do ;-)
They pay people to set the fires than pay more people to fight em simple lmao
The illustrations made me laugh out loud. I think they must be AI.
Was/is just great!
Pronounce Dante' , the s is silent .
Sorry, but the S is not silent in his name. In french we do say his last name Dantes with the S.
@gouinnathalie340 Yes, I realize I am mistaken. Merci.
@@petermurless6891 De rien 👍
this my favorite move of all time
The most horrifying part of this show is how many of these things are actually happening right now. In afghanistan, women are banned from parks, from speaking in public, banned from education, driving, and must be covered head to toe. Like we get mocked or called crazy for being afraid of this stuff but its like.....some of it's actually happening, and no one sees it as a problem. Women have always been the last group of people to have their human rights recognized.
This book should be required reading in every school. Specifically, history classes.
Thank you very much.
Pay a human to narrate your videos, you cheapskate!!
Luckily in the movie she is brought to a trailer in some remote place and waits to have her baby. Not only is this type of society in general scary but the idea that they split apart families and turned everyone into slaves then one of there ideas of public punishment was getting a bunch of handmades together to rip a guy apart turning them into animals.
In the book, the Scramble game has a deeper meaning, women aren't supposed to be able to read or right. If they already knew how, they should forget. Playing Scrabble with her keeps her ability to write intact.
😱 THE ULTIMATE WARNING AND WAKE-UP-CALL... ABSOLUTE 💯!😱😱😱😱🙏🪷❤️🔥🫡
I see polygamist wives here in Utah, USA…
It’s crazy that so many of us were pointing to this book when TP took office the first time, and they called us irrational. But look at the birth rates world wide
This is the kind of crap that happens when government and "religion" mix.
Adjoined together, following the awakening
Yeh that's tru
The MAGA, Trumpists, Christian Nationalism, and the like is what they want the US to be. It's a destruction, not progression or salvation.
Seems like a bunch of people took it as an instruction manual instead of a warning.
Just like 1984.
the handmaid's tale was published in nineteen eighty five..
@@Faesharlyn 1984 by George Orwell.
@hellepost1439 yes. And THT was published *the next year* I read 1984 in grade 8 *in 1984*, then as a freshman in high school I read THT. They're both being used by the incoming as instruction.
There is a lot of truth to that.
DEPORTATION OF 10MILLION WORKERS AND WHO WILL WORK THOSE JOBS? CORPORATIONS WILL COLAPSE WITHOUT *WE THE PEOPLE!*
The rest of it !!! 😊😊😊😊....
It’s a summary of the book
@@ani1344 There is a sequel to the book ”The Testaments” (2019)
Check out my book Harper Lee and Me and read the secrets of and inspirations for TKAM, see how Lee foreshadowed without writing a word and secretly surreptitiously inserts The 12 Days of Christmas into To Kill a Mockingbird.
The great Gatsby
Frustratingly underrated channel, I swear to god
The milk wasn’t in that kind of jug!
Haha you are correct! However the scene was too provocative for the AI to generate that art.
Still they have a lot of luxuries we could never afford so who is living in of a real dystopia?
My mother used to say "you let that book ruin your mind at an impressionable age".
There are a few books I would burn. All copies of them.
Horrible AI art! It seems AI cannot depict unattractive people, such as Don Quixote
Funny art, for a funny book!
