One Hundred Years of Solitude - Amazing TV series based on a book

1707 sats \ 26 comments \ @DarthCoin 14 Dec movies

Married against their parents' wishes, cousins José Arcadio Buendía and Úrsula Iguarán leave their village behind and embark on a long journey in search of a new home. Accompanied by friends and adventurers, their journey culminates with the founding of a utopian town on the banks of a river of prehistoric stones that they baptize Macondo. Several generations of the Buendía lineage will mark the future of this mythical town, tormented by madness, impossible loves, a bloody and absurd war, and the fear of a terrible curse that condemns them, without hope, to one hundred years of solitude.

DarthCoin review

My score: 9.5/10. Definitely recommended to watch and try to catch all the small details presented, don't be distracted by other things around when you will watch it. You will lose important aspects from it.

I don't want to make too much spoiler but some aspects must be said.

This Colombian Netflix TV series, based on a novel by Gabriel García Márquez is an excellent adaptation as a long format movie. The actors preformed an excellent scenario and their immersing into those old times (pre-industrialized South America) is perfect.

I think the crew movie team is the same as for the TV series "Narcos".

I read the book when I was like 25 years old and I love it. Now watching this TV series, brought me back the same feelings when I read the book.

The creators are trying to present like a utopian fantasy world but in fact all the actions are based on real stories from those times, when governments were trying to enslave freemen and twist their minds with bullshit political propaganda. Those people only wanted a single thing: to live free and be left alone.

The most "intense" moments were when the political game started in the small town and you could see the uncertainty on their faces when they saw that some other people from outside, they came into their town and try to rule them with bullshit government rules.

Their life was perfectly fine and living in peace and harmony together until a government agent came to make "order" and threaten with people with guns. Total mafia style.

Then the political game evolved and slowly showing its face that both sides are only a political power game and have nothing to do with people sovereign life. Is literally like a premonition of what is happening today, with political parties promising bullshit and imposing stupid rules over people that just want to be left alone.

The whole movie, for me, is a scream out loud, not for a "revolution" as is portrayed in the movie, but for a radical change in people's mind, a shift from stupid useless left/right (red/blue) political games and focus on individual sovereignty and well-being.

NOBODY CAN RULE OVER A SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL

I must confess that although my late mother always instilled in me a love of reading, I have been a bit lazy in that sense. I study more than I read, and it is not a contradiction, studying requires reading but pursues the objective of obtaining concrete knowledge, reading is an act of enjoyment that is accompanied by obtaining knowledge. My mother suggested that I read this book, but I have never read it. Now I think that in my busy schedule I will include watching the series, it is easier for me to start with the adaptation and then read the work that gave rise to it. Thank you brother for sharing this touch of culture. Bitcoin also solves that.

Here we have a really crazy system.

Making a copy of any audiovisual without the authorization of the owners of the copyright or transmission is a crime. Well, here there are people who pay taxes to the government for committing this crime, they are called CYBERCOPY, in them you can find whatever you want, even series that are being broadcast. Tell me something?

So I will go and I am sure they have it, I hope so because there is a movie called IDIOCRACY, from 2006 and I have never found it, but I am sure they can find these newer series.

The point of reading a book is to have a thought process without distractions. Not listening to a book. Not watching based on a book. Reading a book. With my Kindle I like that I can tap a word and get the definition. With a regular book I will have a dictionary nearby. You will be encouraged to look up subjects and explore.

Bitcoin encouraged me to read more and the 2020 nonsense reinforced that as well.

I understand some people have been told that they have ADD, ADHD or Dyslexia but I don't believe in this religion of diagnosis that is really just snapshot observations.

I was considered retarded and slow early in my education. I was in remedial programs. Now my professor and doctor friends ask me questions because I've read more than them.

I also in my early construction career finishing concrete would bring books in my lunch box. While the concrete would cure and all tasks of preparation were completed I read in between the hustle.

Now I make myself read.

Reading fast is good and reading slow is good. I learned to read by staring at the page and thinking, "there is power here."

Anyway, Try to read a small book. Look at how many pages there are. Break it down to sections. Set a goal.

I was in Jail for 100 days. I got a Bible brought to me. I said I'll read this whole thing. I counted the pages. I broke it down in sections. I read the whole thing before I was released. Sometimes it's good to not understand everything right away. The mind is very powerful.

In the Army I learned to be a good student by getting a stack of technical books skimming, scanning and then ploughing through.

I hope you listen to Mom and read the book, too.

Thank you for the review. This is one of my favorite books and I was a little hesitant to start the series. I’m really excited to hear a positive review. My Spanish has gotten rusty so it will be good for me to take some in through a show also.

Thanks for sharing. I've read this book several times in Spanish and it really is a masterpiece. Usually TV and cinema adaptations fall short but if this one is as good as you say, I'll definetly gonna watch it.

Thank you @DarthCoin! I'm still not finished, but I am really enjoying the production.

I (tried to) read this book in Spanish (!) in high school. I had a crazy Spanish teacher who believed that his students should try to read great spanish literature, even though our knowledge of the language was very limited. We also read Borges, Garcia Lorca, Miguel de Unamuno, and others I forget. I don't think I got much out of it then, but I later checked out all of these writers in English, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

I can't wait to get into episode 4.

Spanish is not my "natural language" too, but I like to read, write and listen / talk in Spanish. I already speak fluently 4 languages and trying to learn a bit of Greek now (but not sure if I can at my age). I like to speak multiple languages because only like that I can understand the world and always have a door open.

Sometimes, when others don't know you speak their language and you are just listening (like you do not understand) you can see if they really have good intentions with you and not talking bad about you.

The language advantage is very important.

Very true. People from the US seem to have a hard time learning other languages. I have struggled to do it my whole life. I made the most progress with Spanish.

Mark Passio covers the subject of sovereign individual quite well and many other peripheral subjects here: https://whatonearthishappening.com/

Go back to the first podcast and start in 2010 I've made it into 5 years. He's still doing things but it's recommended to start in the beginning.

Also, thanks for this review I'll check this out.

Did you read my old article about natural law and bitcoin? https://darth-coin.github.io/general/natural-law-bitcoin-en.html

This TV series is some kind of what I described in that article, a place where people are left alone.

Somebody also did this video about that article I wrote

Reading it now.

Being scared that a government or agency will trace your BTC and trying to stop you using them, is just like recognizing their jurisdiction over your own money.

Avoiding their tactics is like lying but you still agree they have power over you. Avoiding means lying and lying is not honorable.

Yep.

In college in 1988 I had a little punk 'zine and I got a letter from a fellow student who told me that Anarchism was illegal. I laughed so much from this.

Bitcoin definitely woke up my dormant punk ethic. I'm far from being the sovereign but again I'm not also. Definitely a mind shift. Also we need to be careful not to pull the wool over our own eyes.

I'm very spiritual, too so I am backed by a relationship with the creator of this Universe and that is very nice.

I'll continue reading...

Yes, and every government has an illegal spook department that circumnavigates the system.

I think it's better read the book first. I tried to watch 15 minutes and it's too slow.

Interesting start. The first word of Sanskrit above the tree is "Eka" which means one... So maybe it's "One hundred years" I can't make it the rest.

Got my attention very quickly with the Ouroboros and Sanskrit.
