It feels so naive and quilted~ I don’t have the taste of childhood anymore. When I was young, I couldn't sleep at night. The technology at that time was not as advanced as it is now, so everything in the film feels reasonable, but it doesn't work now. It's impossible to develop like this. There are also many scenes in the film where the glass is blown up, but now it is all bulletproof glass. There is also the appearance of Mars, which is not a hue at all. But the story is still worth watching. Watching the 1990s sci-fi commercial movie in 2020s is really like having chicken legs and eating chicken ribs.

Total Recall quotes

  • [Richter and his men shoot Quaid numerous times, but he just gets up and starts laughing]

    Richter: [Realizing what's going on] Son of a bitch.

    [Quaid's image suddenly fades away and the real Quaid comes around the corner and starts shooting. Richter and several others manage to find cover]

  • Lori: I love you.

    Douglas Quaid: Right. That's why you tried to kill me.

    Lori: No... I would never do anything to hurt you. I want you to come back to me.

    Douglas Quaid: Bullshit.

    Dr. Edgemar: What's bullshit, Mr. Quaid? That you're having a paranoid episode triggered by acute neuro-chemical trauma? Or that you're really an invincible secret agent from Mars who's the victim of an interplanetary conspiracy to make him think he's a lowly construction worker? Stop punishing yourself, Doug. You're a fine, upstanding man. You have a beautiful wife who loves you. Your whole life is ahead of you. But you've got to want to return to reality.
