The genre of magical realism is all about taking reality and turning it upside down, making the mundane seem magical, and at the same time making the magical mundane. A good example of this is in the movie Big Fish. There are two main characters, Edward Bloom and his son, Will. Edward is a storytelller who has one story, the story of his life. The film explores magical realism by splitting the plot into two parts. The first part is the real, mundane, and somewhat depressing tale of Will's life. the second part is the fantastical, magical story of Edward's life.
Will grew up listening to his dad tell his life story over and over again. the story was full of characters that you might find in a fairytale, like a witch, a giant, siamese
