At the last moment, the male protagonist saw that there was no seal on his arm. At this time, the camera moved up, and the audience and the male protagonist saw a huge advertisement of the "Rekall" company.
At this time, re-watching the dream at the beginning, the male protagonist and the "female protagonist" tried to escape from a prison. At a critical moment, the male protagonist sacrificed his life to save the beauty and was captured by the villain. The first time I saw it, how much this dream reflected the storyline below. But why is the so-called "now" face of the male protagonist in this dream? Although the male protagonist can't see himself, if the male protagonist is really brainwashed, the director will definitely play it by another person, that is, the one who is showing the piano. Looking at it again now, I understand it completely: everything that happened later was created by Rekall based on his dreams.
After entering the main story, the male protagonist finds that he has really become the person in his dreams: a double-faced agent, who can play the piano (the director is very shrewd, you may think it is a back-and-forth at the first time), and the one in his dream That beauty. It was a coincidence that everything was exactly as he imagined.
As for why his wife became the agent who wanted to kill him, I personally think that the male protagonist felt that he treated his wife too badly: the salary was low, the house was poor, he lived in a colonial area, but married such a virtuous and beautiful wife, he felt unworthy or Too lucky. (See the few words that Lori first explained his identity.) The
male protagonist may have subconsciously realized that this may be fake since Harry persuaded him to kill Melina, but until the end of the complete realization, he Always choose to escape the truth.
As for why, it may really be what the title says: I would rather live in the fiction of my own architecture than have an extraordinary life.
