When magic needs realism

I have never seen a Yugoslav film, so from the first shot it was as fresh as a spring breeze.
The director and screenwriter are very smart. The bombing started from the zoo, and animals were killed under the shells. In fact, why are people not animals?
But such a surreal movie is most afraid of encountering a time when realism is needed. At this time, the original realistic plot becomes far-fetched and blunt, and accidentally destroys the previous magical color.
Personally, I've never liked this type of movie, so I don't like Wonderland, I don't like 8 and a half, and the prudent beauty of the bourgeoisie is nothing short of it.
What's more, such a magic movie should be as short and powerful as my uncle. It's really not suitable to get 3 hours. I prefer a 3-hour movie with a grand narrative and a soul-stirring movie, which makes people feel that it takes so much time. To put it clearly, such as the British patient, such as out of Africa, such as the leopard.
What I have to mention is Ma Gao. The actors who perform Ma Gao are really superb. It is not easy to play such a crazy, magical and realistic character.

    "Pseudo" epic blockbuster development story, Yugoslavia's 100 years of loneliness turned out to be just a gorgeous and cruel on-set show. The screenwriter was eager for money and fame, and the lead actor yearned for war and sacrifice. Only the supporting boy who wrongly referred to the sun and the moon, the gray horse and the horned deer He can't help but say that he wants to go back underground, and the stuttering director of the friendly cameo silently assumes Noah's modern reference. As for the director, he borrows the sentence at the end of the film: Once, there was a "king"...

    After reading it, I wanted to kneel and kowtow. The script, photography, and rhythm were all amazing. How do we know that we are not living underground? From the demise of one communist country, we can see the future of another communist country. From the ending, I felt that the director still had infinite warmth for the motherland. Those reluctance and remembrance are really painful.
