Magical Realist Endings

The Worlds End.

New page bastard, do I hang myself?

I'm more of a fan of things where the main character is randomly murdered/killed at the end with no connection to the plot. The various adaptations of Wedekind's Lulu are perhaps the best known, but I'm sure there's a serial killer film where the killer is killed entirely randomly at the end, and some arthouse movie where everybody gets on a plane which then explodes.

Does the unconvincingly animated bird at the end of Blue Velvet count as magical realism?

The Worlds End.

I'm not sure that counts. The sci-fi shananigans take up most of the film.

And even if it wasn't, it's not magic realism when the mechanics for the fantasy elements are explained within the plot, is it? Isn't the idea that the magical elements are treated as unremarkable despite an otherwise largely realistic environment?

I've never read any Murukami, but I gather that's one of his things; having cats talk because cats happen to talk in his books, and everyone treating it as just one of those things that happen.

Are you a big fan of David Essex's " Silver Dream Racer" ?

That does relate to the story though. Earlier on he's getting the engine milled down to lower weight, and somebody warns him that it'll weaken the casing.

The very end of The Crying Game where the whole city turns out to be in the shape of a giant cock.
