Surrealism comes from the reality of Latin America.
Interpretation
Surrealism in art is deeply rooted in the unique cultural and social realities of Latin America.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez suggests that surrealism, a movement characterized by bizarre, dream-like imagery, is not merely a disconnection from reality but is instead born from the rich and often surreal experiences of life in Latin America. This implies that the complexities and contradictions of Latin American reality give rise to an artistic movement that captures its essence more profoundly than traditional realism.

Both described at the same time how it was always March there and always Monday, and then they understood that José Arcadio Buendía was not as crazy as the family said, but that he was the only one who had enough lucidity to sense the truth of the fact that time also stumbled and had accidents and could therefore splinter and leave an eternalized fragment in a room.
Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that's ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience.
