Seven explanations of the film

Sheridan 2021-10-20 17:22:42

1. Everything that happens in the film is a "dream" of Douglas after being colonized by Reco. The real thing is that he is just sleeping on the operating table;

2. Douglas used to be a Mars intelligence officer, but the company did not enter the memory. However, high-tech technology and psychological hints before the operation led to confusion and a coma on the operating table.

3. Douglas used to be a Mars intelligence officer, and at the same time the company has colonized related memories. The overlap of the two memories caused confusion and was in a coma on the operating table;

4. Because Douglas was colonized by the company into memory, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and he has hallucinations and kills in reality;

5. The memory of Douglas "Mars Intelligence Officer" was inspired by high technology, coupled with psychological cues, hallucinations and killings in reality.

6. Douglas's existing memory of intelligence officers, coupled with the memory of the company's colonization, led to emotional confusion and murder in reality;

7. Douglas is an intelligence officer, and all this happened is true.

    It turns out that this guy was the one who scared me to pee on TV back then. It seems that it was broadcast on the Imperial TV. I dared to put such a cult movie in the top. That old driver with a baby head and a stiff expression was lingering. I wiped away the nightmare, and now it looks like there is a shadow

    Still beautiful. The concept is very advanced. The age of the scene is limited, but it's not bad. Just a few bruises. For example, at the beginning of Hauser's recording, he didn't know Quaid's name, but he called it out the second time.

  • [Quaid's costume malfunctions and his cover as the Fat Lady is blown]

    Douglas Quaid: [to a group of Agency officers] Catch!

    [he throws the Fat Lady mask, and one of the officers catches it]

    Fat Lady: [smiling] Get ready for a surprise!

    [the mask explodes]

  • Hauser: Howdy, Quaid. If you're watching this, that means that Kuato is dead, and you led us to him. I knew that you wouldn't let me down. Sorry for all of the shit I've put you through, but hey, what are friends are for? All I want to do is wish you happiness and good living, old buddy, but unfortunately, that's not gonna happen. You see, that's "my" body you have there, and I want it back. Sorry for being an Indian giver, but I was here first. So, adios, amigo!

    [the screen zooms out to reveal Cohaagen, who puts his hand on Hauser's shoulder]

    Hauser: And thanks for not getting youself killed. Hey, maybe now we will meet in our dreams. You never know.
