I'm not exaggerating when I write that I cried as I watched this video. This novel was so influential in my life. As a peruvian american who hadn't yet gotten in touch with his own latin culture because my mom was working to assimilate to American culture, I finally discovered my roots in this novel when I was a peace corps volunteer in Panama. I became a peace corps volunteer in Panama because there wasn't a program in Colombia at that time. This novel was a bridge to connect with my latin roots. I cried just now because this short clip showed that the producers of this story understood what they undertook to bring this novel to life authentically. I'm so so so excited for this series, to see this story come to life in a different way.
@@Juan-yq3fbMy favorite book and my favorite writer. A comment trying explaining would not give it justice. The story is very complex. As for Gabriel Garcia Marquez his descriptive is superb. You either have to read the book or at least read about it.
Two things: 1) I think the....beauty? essence?...of this book is in the reading. I think reading is the best, if not only way to experience it. I don't think it will translate well to the screen - it may be a decent series or film, but it will lose so much compared to reading it. 2) There is a pace to the book which is tied to the critical event. I didn't even realise it until the very end. It is utter genius in terms of writing. I think this will be incredibly difficult to capture. I'm sure I'll try this out. But....
Well, I wouldn’t trade the book for anything. However, I can adjust my expectations and still enjoy it. The preview at least shows they took it seriously and gave it a good shot. It doesn’t have to be better than the book but it could still be a great work of art in this form. And a good way to inspire those who have not read the book to do so.
Read the book both in Spanish and in English. Of all the books of every genre that I’ve ever read none tops this one. I really hope they do it justice.
@Wubby805 "A hundred years of solitude: the generational story of a family stuck in a timless village that stands to witness the progression of humanity, while the tragedy of it's demise unfolds in a moment like a horrible gust of wind that sniffs a withering candle." My summation of the book
I still cannot figure out whether this is fake or it is actually happening. I wish it is actually happening. But how on earth someone can make a tv serious from this monster of a book?. Who can reimagine Marquez's work?. How can anyone do justise for this masterpiece. Looking at Netflix 8 episode per season template, how many seasons they need to do the full book?. I am excited as well as worried !
Ah hell naw. Netshit gon fuck this perfect novel. I mean damn at least give it the due respect with a proper company like A24. and no theater rollout. GGM be rollin in his grave. SMH
what culture is the story based in ? the book in the start is in Sanskrit, the oldest language from ancient India, still alive in India. Rest of the culture seems south american.
One hundred years of solitude is fully based in latinamerican but most specifically colombian culture, the sanskrit writing is a manuscrip left by one of the characters in the novel, a mysterious gypsy called Melquiades, it is pivotal to the understanding of the story. If you are going to read the book or watch the series first need to realize the style or genre it was writen, called "magical realism", where magical and amazing things happen as everyday events of life.
Read it. The book is amazing. Feels so much like the folk tales your grandmother might tell you. Gabriel Garcia Marquez loved India. He liked Indira Gandhi so much, he refused to ever visit after she was assassinated.
@@JoseTheKraken That's an excellent idea. Also. The trailer seems to cover aproximately 1/3 of the whole story. From Úrsula's pregnancy, their trip to the river with the egg-shaped rocks, José Arcadio's vision, Macondo's foundation, and then Coronel Aureliano's story as a child, a teenager, and his death scene. So maybe it's actually gonna be many seasons as you say, I hope

Best novel that have ever been written
I remember enjoying this book.
Loved the book. Will watch. But how can they translate it to the screen?

Different medium, Different strokes. ...allways keep an open mind.

One Hundred Years of Solitude is the best book I've ever read.
Care to share a summation?

@@JoseTheKraken thank you.
Me encanto este libro, lo lei de joven.😊

Least of all Netflix!
Exactly. Any small detail missed would not work.
Goosebumps all over literally!!! Definitely not missing this
Coming soon on Netflix?!?! You know they'll screw it up.
Glass half empty
Looks epic!
Netflix already rolling out the A.I. generated films.
It's based on the book of the same name. Not A.I.
Ой, надо срочно дочитать книгу
Thought this was Tsitsipas & Badosa 😆
It is one of my favorite books.... plz plz don't fuck it up.
This impossible story is like DUNE in that it is considered "unfilmable". Maybe we've turned that corner. Only time will tell.

0:15 Sanskrit 🤔
Yes, sanskrit
Sanskrit is our(indian) language, What is the role of our Sanskrit in this movie?😂😂😂😂
@@PrabalSingh-dr7vf I invite you to red the novel. :)
@@JorgeJimenezkagyu where?
Must be a miniseries. Too much for a 2-hour for a film!
I read it's a 16-chapter miniseries, although I believe it may not cover the entire book. Two seasons would do!
@santiagogeringertueros7791 2 seasons? Hm depends if each season has like 20 episodes. Novelas/soap operas have many episodes sometimes up to 100.
I agree
The novel can be made into at least 4 seasons, one for each generation.
