Review of Total Recall (1990) by Benjamín C — 11 Dec 2013
This movie is extremely cheesy, but at the same time smart and thought provoking. but how it doesn´t make any sence. well the thing is that this film is cheesy in order to get the message the best way posible, we live in a controlled reallity, just like in the matrix, but only in real life, because we are constantly being brainwashed by propaganda and cliches and this movie exploits them to the extreme.
that´s why this movie is at one point very stupid but also very smart. but besides that the action is great, the pacing is thrilling. the movie has interesting characters. like quaid who is more than what he believes he is.
lory who is not the tipical wife. every character is cliched but with a twist that makes him unique and original. but by far the best part about this film is the story, which is quite interesting and original and influenced the matrix, ghost in a shell, etc.
go see it and enjoy the cheesines and smart of it.
