What do you mean, the total recall is over?

At the end of the film "Total Memory", the director left room for the audience to develop their imagination, and everyone would have different views on whether the hero was in a dream or in reality. Personally, I tend to think that all this is a dream. The man was dreaming from the moment the drug was injected into his body. So in the end, when Quaid tore off the tape on his arm, there was no seal of the memory company on his arm, and the big advertisement he looked up to see was a hint that he didn't want to wake up in his dream.

Remember what the person in charge said to Quaid when he first entered the recall company? He said that the injected memory must not overlap with the original memory. If this happens, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain. If Quaid is really a double agent, the injected memory will definitely conflict with his original memory, and his brain will definitely be damaged. But obviously, Quaid has not been affected at all. He seems to be a different person suddenly, and his skill is becoming more and more brave, so I think he has been dreaming from this moment on without knowing it. Just like the slogan of Memory Company, their service aim is to make you intoxicated and unwilling to wake up. In your memory world, you are the protagonist and the focus, and what the memory company promised Quaid has come true in your dream.

At first, this movie was Quaid's dream. He was absorbed in the intense spy life, nervous and exciting, but he had to wake up from his dream and face the boring reality. He works on the assembly line every day. He is just one of thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian Colony. Finally, he had an elegant girlfriend in his arms, and he became a hero against the Commonwealth. All this coincides with his original dream. Everything he is experiencing is like an extended version and the ultimate version of a dream.
