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

A photographic film fitting of One Hundred eld of seclusionIntentWe have reached an age, where to the highest degree things are done through TV andcinema. It is unfortunate many a(prenominal) citizenry do not read many books anyto a greater extent.People would rather mystify for a few hours in a dark room alimentation popcornand watching a screen. In my opinion it is necessary for more books tobe adapted in films. Some people might contend whether a great book suchas Madame Bovary and The Great Gatsby cigarette shine in the same light witha film adaptation. With the film techniques available and the greattalent this is very assertable. I am a strong believer that watching anexcellent movie on self-conceit and Prejudice or any other literarymasterpiece is be to reading the book. For this reason I have takenon the indebtedness of adapting chapter 1 of One Hundred Years of sex segregation.One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a newabout a family, the Buendias spiritedness in a town called Macondo. Thenovel is postmodern. There are many instances where time jumps around.Along with the postmodernism feel there is also an element of magicalrealism. The magical realism is where characters can do things thatare not possible in real life. In example of this is Remediossability to vaporise in the air and go away. The elements of postmodern andmagical realism off One Hundred Years of Solitude a difficult novelto adapt. For this particular paper 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 base on. The title of my film on One HundredYears of Solitude is Opportunity. The main reason I have chosen thistitle because it is root in the last sentence of the novel,Aureliano Babilonia would finish deciphering the parchments, andthat everything written on them was unquotable since time immemorialand fo rever more, because races condemned to one hundred year of privacy did not have a second probability on estate (Gabriel GarciaMarquez 448). In this quote, Marquez discusses how civilization withcease to be if there continues to be the solitude that is outlined inOne Hundred Years of Solitude. Because the Buendia was the first onrush 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 hope to showthat a film can be just as or better than the novel it is based on.
