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.
