The Decameron | Official Trailer | Netflix 

Thank you for the explanation. That was a hodgepodge of nothingness.

My expectations join you fully in the well of disappointment.

I liked Teenage Bounty Hunters, so i'm gonna give Kathleen Jordan a benefit of the doubt for this one, but yeah, this trailer was all over the place.

They have already screwed it up with casting.

Yes, lots of the stories are lewd ("putting the devil in hell"). It's still a great book (I've only read it in translation).

Wouldn't count on it

You think hat would fill the theaters???? lol

Are you Italian?

well, there was little they could do to help them. By that time no one new how plague was spreading or means to heal it, so self-isolation was really the best way to live

that is so not the main point

maybe we were watching the stories as they are "acted" out by the cast

I'm thinking the same thing.

Don't you miss the days when trailer's had the entire plot of the show/movie in it so we don't technical have to watch said show/movie?

Thought the same ... I am a bit de-impressed after watching this trailer

The trailer seems to focus on the framing narrative. Or the cast is the same in both the framing and the in-story tales. I just hope they don't just ignore the short stories by making what happens in them happen "in real life", because that would be super lazy.

I think that with another title, all this shit wouldn't have happened.

@@MarkPag Many such cases.

He's not in this film for some reasons.

For What

Doraemon! 💕

Don't let Netflix see this comment. or else we will be getting the shittiest doraemon movie next year or sooner

😂

Have you encountered the concept of acting?

​@@emmabrooker166have you encountered the concept of countries, history, or millions thrown at streaming services just to embarrass thenselves

There are like 2 non white actors in a big cast. What is the problem now? (also non white italian exists, arabs invaded Sicily before the Decameron was written and I suppose some form of immigration from the north coasts of Africa happened, of course they are a minority)

​​@@DaViDePlayer18as you said, arabs were in Sicily, not in aristocraric Florence. Plus indians defintely were not in Italy back in time

@@DaViDePlayer18 You know very well this cast has not been made respecting historical accuracy, but merely for political correctness. Same with Bridgerton, Queen Cleopatra or the movie The Personal History of David Copperfield. My suggestion? Stick to Pasolini's version.

This looks like rubbish

NETFLIX decided at some point that History wasn't important. The thing is that people who forget History are condemmed to suffer it again. That and the fact that it's insulting.

Agreed, glad I cancelled my subscription

​@@EasternAmerica good for you. I haven't yet, always hoping for something interesting but NEVER even remotely in the History department. A recent good surprise was LOVE AND ANARCHY the 1st season . It's from 2019 or so and I just watched it because someone said it was the Swedish version of The Idea Of You. And loved it. For some reason Netflix never promoted it so it scaped me. Apart from that nothing in at least 2 months.

It's called artistic expression. Don't be such a snob. ✌

​@@Atouk Guessing you didn't read it

@@Atouk if only there were anything artistic about the Netflix show, one could agree…

This comedy is a Netfreaks production with diverse clowns hired in Commiefornia. Insulting the title was intended, insulting any "white" culture is the plan, always.

@@Frances09876…well you know, eye of the beholder and that kind of thing….

Thank you. I remembered having watched it in the 80's but couldn't remember who had directed it. Indeed, this comes nowhere near his version.

How about waiting for it to come out before deciding whether will or won't get close to anything? Also, let's not forget the fact that Pasolini is a very peculiar director and is definitely not for everyone.

@@shougokawada8491 I agree. Wise words.

it is not

The lady on the thumbnail is Italian and she's the one you see the most in the trailer....

In the first 15 minutes I have already seen: 2 Indians, a mulatto, 4 Africans as protagonists. Florence 1348? Ok netflix, you're doing a good job. Serious? No problem for us Italians, the important thing is to understand, however, that the extreme and exaggerated woke culture drives away the non-stupid public, exactly as is happening to Disney.

Exactly......absolute madness!

@@TapestrythatsWoven Watch the first five minutes!

Generally! Black people in this age? Are they kidding? Woke sh.. Is nothing else than history manipulation! Shame on them. 😮

no, they hate it

So, just to get this straight, you want to watch this in the accurate 1353 Italian, specifically the vernacular of the Florentine region. To quote John Mulaney, "Would you like, like an old turnip we found in the cabinet? Would that be good for you? Would you like that?"

@@jccaine7522 you know this is not the point.

It would be more accurate (and less bigoted) to make this request of "people who don't like subtitles", not "anglophones" in general. Not all (or even most) native-English-speaking people hate subtitles, and there are plenty of non-English-speakers who do. The generalization does not make you look good, dear.

bruh the Italians are free to make their own version, literally nobody is stopping them

I wouldn't even watch the trailer otherwise.

Yeah, if it wasn't called as such, I would have ignored it. Now I will ignore it anyway, but at least I clicked.

I JUST read it this week for a book discussion hosted by a college! It’s excellent. I actually it might not translate well to the screen. I recommend Audible’s version with actors reading each of the characters’ parts. So engaging!!

The Decameron is a famous Italian book from the 14th (?) century

@@tlc2741 White Lotus is a famous American tv show from the 21st century. Take that, Dante!

@@GwaiZai I haven’t heard of The White Lotus! Is it also about escaping a plague?

@@tlc2741 the plague of wealth

Why do the period films cast people not suited the roles?

​@@juhineogi255 what do you mean?

Different writer! 😂

Only at the very end. It's not important part of this adaptation. You can choose what you want from it: A) anger - because it is not likes the book at all - or - B) fun - because it's comedy and little drama around same basic situation as in the book.

*Awaken plays menacingly in the background*

Yeah but this looks shit

JAJAJAJAJAJAJA have some respect to italian culture and never, NEVER compare this bs show with the real Decameron. It looks like a fckn piece of crap.

@@Frastato Agreed. Archaeologist, re-enactor, educator and general history nerd here...I don't even know where to begin pointing out how bad this looks.

@@bizzlecrafts well, italian here and student of foreign languages and literatures (including italian one).. embarassment at its finest

​@@bizzlecraftsstart from the Indian and Iraq men 😂😂😂

set in india ❤

@@mikkodoria4778 India is already a plague tale 🙋

Just play the game - you have your movie right there.

That's what you take from this?

@@AchtungEnglander I guess The Last Of Us was a no pointer too.... 🤡

Aahahahhah, perché netflix è sinonimo di merda. A loro interessa solo buttare fuori serie a getto continuo, non si curano dell'accuratezza letteraria, storica, artistica. Non gli interessa chi dirige cosa, quali siano gli attori, l'importante è che ci sia sempre una grossa fetta di neri, orientali, indiani, arabi, omosessuali, portatori di disabilità. A me va bene tutto, ma almeno siano funzionali alla storia, e non messi lì giusto per essere politcamente corretti e inclusivi. La Disney per lo stesso motivo ha perso tantissimo in termini di qualità e di pubblico. La gente non è scema e sono le stesse minoranze a sentirsi presi in giro.

DEI is more important than your European heritage.

To bother racists. Congratulations

@@Mogorman87 It's Netflix

@@benoitarriaux and? Dark was made on Netflix.

As a cue that the story has global significance.

So that’s your clue it’s really about the future.

We talking about the UK or US version of Ghosts?

It is in English when it should be in Italian, so it's already wrong.

Yes, we need that

I'm afraid this is not based on The Decameron. Go for the Pasolini version

It’s comedy. Calm down Karen. Try watching some of it before looking for reasons to be offended.

NO.

Didn't you know? It's your usual Netflix adaptation!

Netflix, disney and companies suddenly love them

Hilarious 😂

Clearly you don´t know a s**t about the book...

she's in emma 2020 as well

Miss

it's not unrealistic, once you caught it there's wasn't much time for your body to deperish. It would be over in a bunch of days. entire towns were swept in very short amounts of time

@@laemmeelagi indeed, but the body builder look wasn’t really a thing yet 😂

It's just pure dark comedy entertainment not meant to be historically accurate. It's satirical. Man it's so funny seeing how triggered white people acts about historical representation but you guys allow misrepresentation of casting for non white figures since the beginning. How does it feel now?

The entire global as we slide into worldwide famine as temperatures will continue to rise for centuries if not millennia per the IPCC. Genius, Netflix.

How does it feel now to be miscast for you guy? I seen lots or French and Italians shows mocking non whites and you don't seem to be butt hurt until it happens to you.

I would say The Little Hours was a comparatively accurate and faithful representation/melding of a few actual Decameron stories, whereas this just seems like standard-issue millennial crap with period costumes on.

They had way more- especially during this time in history. Italy was part of the Silk Road and was literally neighbors with the Middle East and North Africa. The average Italian today is part North African and Middle Eastern genetically cause Italy has a long ass- much longer than the 1300s- history with other continents bordering the Meditterean (ie Africa and Asia). Italy had a Muslim population (of thousands of Persians, Arabs, and North African Moors) before Britain even knew what a Muslim was. Before Britain was even conquered by the Normans. When Romani people migrated to Europe from India during the 1300s- Italy and the Balkans is where they got to first (oh but you see an Indian guy in the cast and you're freaking out? Really?). Y'all want to talk about history, but y'all act like history didn't exist- and people never traveled or went anywhere- until the 1500s. And you probably think only white people could magically travel or know how to travel anywhere. Really?

@@TapestrythatsWoven I never said that everyone in Italy at the time was white. Even though traveling in those days was much more difficult than today, I'm sure that it would have been relatively normal to find some people from the north of Africa and the Middle East. However, like I wrote before, this trailer shows the kind of diversity that you can find in the UK today (or at least the kind of diversity that you can find in any large British city today). So, yes, I call it rewriting history.

@@TapestrythatsWoven as an italian i have to say this is a massive cope to try and justify netflix's awful DEI casts. Yes we had invasions and points of contact but nowhere near in the same way of modern day UK. Stick to your garbage anglo/american history to rewrite.

@@TapestrythatsWoven everyone knows the Famous blacks and indians noblemen in italy in the 1300s oh yeah so historical...

@@TapestrythatsWoven You really know nothing about the average Italian. Same for history of the country. I suggest you to educate yourself.

Wait another say...120 years or so.

It is a good life we lead, brother.

@@BeeDub57 The best

Almost as much as it is known for its widespread use of the English language…

There are like 2 non white actors in a big cast. What is the problem now? (also non white italian exists, arabs invaded Sicily before the Decameron was written and I suppose some form of immigration from the north coasts of Africa happened, of course they are a minority)

​the fact is that things didn't really go this easy, you are ignoring southern and northern italy's totally different history, and that we are talking about the Florence upper-class. Yes, immigration is a real thing that occoured, but if this is YOUR explaination it still doesn't add up completelly to historical facts. I don't care if they are black, white or asian, cause its fiction at the end of the day, but just don't try to justify it with random facts unconnected to each other (or connected in the wrong way).

@@nnp1989 I'm simply saying that it wasn't impossible for non white people to live in Italy even in the center of it. Does this mean it was likely? I never said that but since it's possible I can accept if 2 out of 100 people are non white in the cast.

It’s a movie, get over it.

Why are you so obsessed with race? It's fuckin weird man

This is not ancient italy at all

Absolute nonsense! And disturbing!

I also wondered why there’s an Indian there?

No way... Who

@@timkinss Tanya- the actress of Italian descent who is featured the most in the trailer and is even on the thumbnail in this video, but people still came in here and said "there are no Italians in this!!!"

And I instantly knew it’s about nowhere to hide as global temperatures mount. The CO2 is already in the atmosphere and each year we put up a historic amount more.😢

My immediate thought LOL

che problemi? its an interpretetation. they havent stolen the damn book. do it yourself the next time if u hate it so much

In Italy 🇮🇹 1347
