Cent ans de solitude

Pure joy watching this cinematic Colombian marvel. Screen adaptation exceeded my expectations and eliminated all fears about potential disastrous attempt to make a decent movie out of a so-cold "unfilmable" novel. Looks absolutely authentic and magical to my eyes. Bravo to Colombian creators and Colombian crew for very attentive, careful and delicate adaptation o[f one of the most beautiful novels ever written!

Cinematographic work is outstanding and displays beauty of Colombia very vividly. Costumes, colonial architecture, interior design of the buildings and carefully chosen music portrait altogether unforgettable atmosphere of Colombian magic in every and each detail.

It's an excellent adaptation. We start with an amazing Photography, good representation of the scenarios and creative direction with an approach that respects the original work. They also adapts the events of the book with dedication, and makes use of resources such as conceptual shots to add to the narrative. At the same time it respects in the ethnic and cultural aspect what Colombia is, as a people and society. Traditions, music, food and diversity of races are part of what the Macondo universe is, as well as the history that makes up the years of a violent past in Colombia. This gives way to what is its chronology, which is perfectly threaded, which results in a somewhat different product in its content, but not in a negative connotation for the development of the story. It is, in fact, a work with a lot of dedication, and pretty faithful that evokes the nostalgia of what is a hundred years of solitude and the artistic impact that it had for subsequent generations influenced by Latin American literature and the work of García Marquez.

Just finished episode one. This really could have been terrible but it's not. It's always a challenge to translate inner thoughts and fears and doubts and inner reactions to things like visions! The dubbing is pretty good in English but I switched to Spanish with English subtitles and it felt more comfortable. I'm pleased they're taking their time over the table as it's important to set the scene and even so it feels a little hurried but with sixteen episodes I'll live with it. I've read the book three times in my life and it's ok. No expense has been spared with the locations and the sets and that does help create the atmosphere. Looking forward to the questionable ethnics stuff! No censorship please!

One hundred years of isolation 🌿

Story: The series, based on the famous novel of Gabriel García Márquez of the same name, revolves around "José Arcadio Buendia" and "Ursula Iguaran", the two relatives who leave their village in search of a new home, after marrying against the wishes of their parents. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates To establishment of a virtuous city on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones called Macondo. Many generations of the Buendia dynasty will determine the future of this legendary city, tormented by madness, impossible love, absurd bloody war, and the fear of a terrible curse that will rule them, without hope, for a hundred years of isolation.

From the beginning of the first episode, it was clear that I was embarking on a impressive work that actually exceeded my expectations

And every episode was exciting me to see the next..

The sequence of events is amazing, tidy and calm, and its clarity on every detail and partiality, and this gave me a beautiful feeling.

Everything is perfect, the performances, sounds and the atmosphere are consistent and wonderful..

Honestly, a very wonderful series, and it didn't disappoint me, it's very enjoyable .

I had read this novel in 2018 After finishing it, I searched for any movie or series based on this novel, and I didn't find anything, which was surprising to me.

Marquez created a whole world with great craftsmanship, great characters, and events that will be remembered forever.

As for the series, what a series!

Often when a movie or series is adapted from a novel the novel is much better, with the exception of a few works.

And this series definitely succeeded in adapting the novel correctly and bringing this great world to the small screen.

To those who are hesitant to watch this series, believe me, there is nothing more important than watching the series to spend your time.
