Total Recal キョウ


"キョウ (today) is the beginning of the rest of your life."

キョウ

gorge

The very first scene. A rocky, red martian gorge.

Attractive

The woman he wakes up in bed with. A regular angel!

vie

"I can't believe you're jealous of a dream!" Blonde vs. Brunette - vying for Arnold's love.

together

The nice, husband/wife image of those two lovebirds together....... doesn't last long!

receive

Arnold, about to receive his memory implant.

shout

Arnie getting a "schizoid embolism." Altho really, conjuring an image of Arnie shouting is not exactly difficult. :D

hometown

Mars is like Arnie's real hometown here...

echo

And throughout the copious foreshadowing in the beginning, everything echos of Mars.

threaten

Arnie is being threatened from all sides after his failed memory implant!!

wonder

Arnie's wonder (or surprise, as this kanji means) about his wife trying to kill him!
OR "Get ready for a surprise!" BOOM

villain

Mr. Copenhagen.

lunatic

Only a total lunatic would stick that metal contraption up his nose...

but of course

But of course, he does it.

rectify

After listening to himself, he takes action to rectify the whole situation.... "get your ass to mars"

boundary

Arnold crossing the customs boundary. Fat Lady Explode scene.

mirror

Arnie's introspection throughout the movie.... is it real? is it not? who am I really? etc.

bosom

TRIPLE-BOSOM SCENE!!!11

cramped

Life on Mars, in colonies.

sandwiched

See above.

co-

Will Arnie cooperate with the Prez of Recall, who says its all just a dream? Naaaaa.

submit

See above. (or think, terrorists who won't submit to the government)

respect

the rebels feelings towards Kuato.

elder brother

Hmmm. Maybe the host-body of Kuato?

bridge

The man-made bridges in the Alien "machine."

fear

Lots of scenes, pick whichever you like.

incense


sutra

These two don't fit too well. Imagine some Mutant fortune-telling ritual involving lots of incense and some weird sutras.


teach

教室、教師、etc.

entertain

興味. Or, something this movie does quite well. :)

strong

勉強. Imagine Arnie's muscles if you like.

Notes: I friggin love this movie so much. So nostalgic to watch it again for the first time in what must be at least 7 or 8 years. Awesome. And the a good number of the keywords fit like it was meant to be - even the RTK3 ones! Several kanji listed with compounds are really basic, common ones any aspiring students should know, so I didn't bother fitting them into the movie. The rest is all very useful however for this rather ubiquitous reading.
