A film adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude :: English Literature

A take up adaptation of hotshot cardinal Years of SolitudeIntentWe hit reached an age, where most things are through with(p) through TV andcinema. It is unfortunate many people do non read many books anymore.People would rather sit for a hardly a(prenominal) hours in a dark room eating popcornand ceremony a screen. In my opinion it is necessary for more books tobe fitting in films. Some people might argue whether a prominent book suchas Madame Bovary and The Great Gatsby can shine in the same light witha film adaptation. With the film techniques available and the ampletalent this is very possible. I am a strong believer that watching anexcellent movie on Pride and Prejudice or any other literarymasterpiece is equal to reading the book. For this antecedent I have takenon the responsibility of adapting chapter 1 of One cytosine Years ofSolitude.One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a novelabout a family, the Buendias living in a town called Macondo. T henovel is postmodern. There are many instances where time jumps around.along with the postmodernism feel there is also an element of magical naive squareism. The magical realism is where characters can do things thatare not possible in real life. In example of this is Remediossability to fly in the parentage and go away. The elements of postmodern andmagical realism make One Hundred Years of Solitude a difficult novelto adapt. For this particular subject I have chosen to adapt chapter 1.Chapter 1 includes flashbacks, magical realism, and the encounterswith the gypsies. I have chosen chapter 1 because it includes theelements the novel is based on. The title of my film on One HundredYears of Solitude is Opportunity. The main motive I have chosen thistitle because it is rooted in the coating sentence of the novel,Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, andthat everything written on them was unrepeatable since time hoaryand forever more, because races condemn ed to one hundred year ofsolitude did not have a second opportunity on earth (Gabriel GarciaMarquez 448). In this quote, Marquez discusses how nuance withcease to be if there continues to be the solitude that is outlined inOne Hundred Years of Solitude. Because the Buendia was the firstattempt at a perfect world, I have called it Opportunity, since thisfamily was the first opportunity at the utopia.By adapting chapter 1 of One Hundred Years of Solitude I accept to showthat a film can be just as or better than the novel it is based on.
