Besides, what is Total Recall?
Total Recall is a 1990 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel Ticotin, Sharon Stone, Ronny Cox, and Michael Ironside. The film is loosely based on the 1966 Philip K. Dick short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale".
One may also ask, is Total Recall remake a dream or real? Total Recall never explicitly tells the audience it's a dream, or that it's a reality, and so the debate has raged on for years. In short: Total Recall doesn't tell you whether it's real or it's a dream because it's literally supposed to be both simultaneously, not unlike Schrödinger's Cat.
In this manner, is Total Recall 2012 just a dream?
The 2012 film version of Total Recall borrows a lot of elements and plot storylines from the original 1990 movie, but with some differences. The 1990 movie had the setting both on a war-torn Earth and on Mars.
What is Total Recall based on?
Loosely based on the Philip K Dick short story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale, Total Recall is about Douglas Quaid (Schwarzenegger), a beefy construction worker in 2084 who lives a modest and happy life with his wife Lori (Sharon Stone), but keeps having vivid dreams of Mars.
