Total Recall : Ending?
If you watch the movie Total recall, you are given two seperate endings to the movie. Its a movie about a man(Arnold S) who suposidly get his mind wiped at this agency and then becomes somewhat a spy.he then travels to mars to learn things.
My Question for you though is, Is his mind really Screwed up from the Recall or is he really a spy who had his memory erased?
Comments?

same here. I haven't watched it in years either.

Again same here, I don't have a clue what is going on in it.
The way I see it, they left it open ended on purpose...two very plausable endings...
The whole movie could've been real (and his memory had been previously tampered with before "Recall" so he flips out...and the story goes from there...)
or
Was only real up until "Recall" (and could've been the thrill ride they promised, cleverly adding in the memory tampering and flipping out bits at "Recall" as part of the adventure).

I love the ending to this. It really makes you think. Is he a spy that had his memory erased? Is it just the recall? No one can answer this and I haven't tried to decide an answer I'm happy with 'cause I like not knowing the answer.
Have to agree.. It is a lot better not knowing. This is the same with Pulp Fiction for me and the briefcase.. I don't want to know what was in it because it would spoil the whole idea of it.
Been a while since I saw it, but was it not about Hauser having his personality uploaded in to a database, to refit his body with a new, innocent and insusceptible one? All in order to evade his enemies while conserving his body as it is being used rather safely by some average Joe. And about crafting a plan that would lead his body back to himself so he can take it back again when the heat clears?
