Dream. He wakes up, goes home to tie Sharon Stone up.
It sucks.Still havent seen it. Cant bring myself
LolIt was a memory of a lifetime, recall, recall, recall
The evidence in the movie points to dream but it's left open enough to be real that you walk away feeling good about saving Mars instead of depressed that this guy will spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed with a feeding tube.
"Be aware that if everything that happens in the movie from now on is going to be a dream, if there is no reality to anything ... realize that the dream really starts at the moment that he falls asleep. So the next scene, which seems to be a f***-up of the machine, is part of the dream," says Verhoeven. "So this is the last moment of his reality. Goes into the unconsciousness, and basically from now on...boom! The dream starts. ... That's the trick of the company, that they make a dream that's so convincing that it seamlessly goes from the first reality into the second one."

The only part that's kinda fucked up about it being a dream is that the recall company made him hate his wife and best friend, and actually kill them.
Now he has to wake up and go home and reconcile that in his mind.
Didn't the guy sweating while explaining it was a dream, lend weight to the idea it wasn't a dream? It's been awhile.
Yeah that is the big part that adds some doubt and kinda tests the viewer as to which side they are on.
The question is what would happen if he did take the pill. Which brings up the question how much choice do you have under recall. Like are you involuntarily experiencing the memory as intended or is there some sense of free will involved?
Well, yeah, his sweat seemed to give him away. But maybe he was just a figment of Quaid's dream as well; maybe all that intrigue and subterfuge was just part of the sophisticated dream from the people at Recall.Didn't the guy sweating while explaining it was a dream, lend weight to the idea it wasn't a dream?
