Total Recall Ending: Was It A Dream? How Much Was Real?

The Total Recall ending is incredibly difficult to decipher, especially since the 1990 sci-fi movie blurs the line between reality and implanted memories. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in Total Recall as Douglas Quaid, a construction worker who uses a memory-implanting company called Rekal to take a simulated vacation to Mars as a secret agent. The fact that the Total Recall ending had many viewers scratching their heads is unsurprising, as the Paul Vehoeven movie is an adaptation of the 1966 short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" by Philip K. Dick, a writer known for bending reality and consciousness.
