More on magical realism
Magic realism is a way of storytelling with the help of fiction with literature and realistic plotlines. The modern world lives as it is with a touch of fictional elements roped mostly in and around the central character. Magical realism is also called as marvellous realism, as per vox.com.
The films are set in reality but not apart from reality in magical realism. The plot finds a middle ground with magic and reality in magical realism. Some of the past examples of magical realism based films are Life of Pi, Midnight's Children, Thithi, Pleasantville, Birdman, The Green Mile, The Shape of Water and Porco Rosso. These films are a combination of reality with magical highs and lows.
