Total Recall is Douglas Quaid, a worker Construction married a woman named Lori, who is haunted by a dream in which a beautiful woman walks on Mars. As his wife did not want to go there on vacation, Quaid decided to implement a recall of Mars on a virtual vacation company. But when it will be injected another person aroused in him, as if his mind had been manipulated. The company's employees deleted your data and leave him unconscious. When she wakes up trying to kill him and discovers that his life truly is a lie. Pursued without knowing why or who he really is, Quaid returns to Mars to find the truth about himself.
Oedipus is the image of self-reflection. In the cinema the most important is the fact of his guilt: Oedipus discovers, through others, a traumatic revelation that remained hidden in the unconscious: he is guilty of the action he most detests. The protagonist becomes over time an example of self-knowledge, self-investigation, as in the case of Quaid in Total Recall, you must return to Mars to find the truth about himself. It is the interpretation of memories and how his story Oedipus investigates different points of view in order to return to the starting point. Oedipus gives the film an interesting resource: their own inner exploration. Through flash-backs, the characters investigate this through the past, so they can discover the contrasts of his life, the ambiguity of the feelings and false reality.
The central theme of the movies that have as a reference Oedipus Rex is the obsessive search for identity. It is through dreams so Douglas Quaid decides to go to Mars. As in Oedipus, in Total memories are interpreted in this case is a virtual holiday company in the mind inject false memories that are losing the notion of Quaid does not really know what is happening when it is when is real and fake. Not even know your true identity and that of those around him, even at the end of the film do not know if what is happening is real or just a dream.
