      Of Arnold Schwarzenegger's fifty-one movies I think my favourite is "True Lies" (1994), though there are occasions when I would say "Conan the Barbarian" (1982). "Predator" (1987) is second, and "Commando" (1985) a distant third that is only included at all here because it is so ridiculously over the top with the guns and explosions.

    Is what is happening to Quaid just a fantasy taking place in his head while he is strapped in a chair at Rekall? I was long resistant to the idea myself. But over the years, I've become persuaded that this is almost certainly the case. Even so, the film is sufficiently ambiguous that people can argue back-and-forth about it and never resolve the question absolutely.

    Hello Penny, nice to see you!😊 I hope everything is going well in Italy!😉 I am very glad you are concluding your Verhoeven trilogy of futuristic violent films. I think if he knew how appreciative people would be for these films years later he may of made more of them. Great reactions to this fun Verhoeven film, Penny!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    This movie's red pill for awakening came before the red pill in "The Matrix." "Total Recall" is based on a story by writer Philip K. Dick, whose stories also provided the background for "Minority Report" and "Blade Runner." You may have recognized Cohaagen from "Robocop" (as Dick Jones). Another movie from this era in which he plays a role is "Beverly Hills Cop."
    Great that you've now seen the Verhoeven scifi trilogy; excellent films! He's also known for "Basic Instinct" with Sharon Stone.

  • @UnderDriven17

    Great reaction! Don't be too upset--the overall theme of the film is the ambiguity of reality (something that Philip K. Dick often explored in his writing). There are clues which point to Quaid's adventure being real and other clues which point to it being unreal. The whole idea of implanting memories calls into question the reality of experience, and then the film takes it to a meta level with the ambiguity of Quaid's adventure. It's brilliant, in my opinion. The first thing we see is Quaid's dream with Melina, which may have occurred with Quaid as Hauser, except for the fall which turned it into a nightmare. That happened before he went to Rekall, so it can point to Quaid's experience being real. However, then we see Melina's image when Quaid is selecting his love interest in the memory implant, which doesn't seem possible in reality. In the end it's intended to be ambiguous...
    From a technical point of view, it's highly unlikely that the reactor could produce enough 'oxygen' in a such a short time to save Quaid and Melina, so that makes it seem unreal. Note that simply heating ice (frozen H2O) produces water and then steam (water vapor), not oxygen. To produce oxygen it is necessary to liquify the ice and then use an electric current to separate the hydrogen and oxygen (electrolysis). It did not appear that this was being done, but I'm not going to fault the film for this because it's too technical for this type of movie. Alien technology can always be made to do anything we want it to do, so maybe it was more sophisticated than what was depicted. However, you can't simply let the hydrogen and oxygen mingle as an atmosphere because it would explosively recombine. There is only a trace amount of hydrogen in our atmosphere--the majority of air is nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%). So the alien apparatus would also have to capture the hydrogen as it was being produced, or combine it with some other element to prevent it from being released as a gas. It would then be an essentially 100% oxygen atmosphere, which is not healthy for humans long term (astronauts breathe pure oxygen in their spacesuits, but inside the International Space Station they breathe a nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere).

    I think it has to be real because if Recall was trying to make it look like a genuine memory, they would avoid using their brand name inside his dream otherwise what's the point, when he wakes up he will definitely know it was a fake dream. that is one of many reasons.

    If it all where a dream, wouldn't be the entire movie from Quaid's point of view? Usually you don't dream what others do in the dream that are outside your perception. He wouldn't dream his pursuer's talking to each other or Richter talking to Lorie and Cohagen.
    That's my proof for everything being real.
    Mind I also heard about the book the movie is loosely based on, which has an apparently even crazy story.

  • @chrislaustin

    Out of all of Arnold's movie that I have seen, this is my favorite of the bunch, but I would also say he has better overall films than this one. But this having a Sci-Fi and mistaken identity level story, it was a merging of two great genres I didn't know I needed until watching this movie. This is a true classic, that has withstood the test of time, and do yourself a favor Penny, and don't bother watching the reboot, as I couldn't even stay awake while trying to watch it.

    Penny and Total Recall for breakfast! YES! Just in time for cornflakes! One of the best reactions to this film. My admiration when the Dr. from Recall and Sharon Stone tried to fool him. Many reactors started doubting at this point. You did not. I saw it coming when you made the ‘divorce’ joke and Arnie stole your thunder. I just burst out laughing! The way you responded to the ending! Bravo! The first time I saw this in theater, I was content for the happy ending and left it at that. But years later, many have come to look at the ending the way you did. Your jokes go beyond the films you react to. I will now hear them whenever I see Kane go near the ALIEN egg. “How romantic. Now kiss me through the helmet.”🤣🤣

    That's IT finally I reckon it in fact was his rekall implant, everything happened as advertised and the blue sky at the end finalised it for me and as for the doctor showing up was part of the adventure. In other words he is Howser for real, a construction worker married to Sharon stone and he would have woken up with everything going back to normal and with a new memory of the adventure he just had ( implanted ).

    Is it a dream or is it real? There's the third option: he was lobotomized. But the interesting thing is, if the events are real then the character -- Quad -- is only a dream. If Quad is real, then the events are a dream. So regardless of what side you're on: the main protagonist or the events are a dream.

    It's not a matter of holding your breath. The pressure is so low on Mars, there is very little atmosphere, that your insides will boil outward. We are under pressure here on Earth, and as you go down into the ocean, the pressure increases so that if you shake a can of Coke and open it inside a submarine, it won't explode out because the pressure is higher than in the can.
