Here is the concept of Tenet explained simply. 1. Everything you currently know about reality is based on you traveling forward in time. The year is 2024. A year from now it will be 2025. That’s forward direction. 2. All time travel movies are also based on only moving forward in time. Even if you time travel back to 1900, once you get there you’re still traveling forward in time. So if you stay there a year, then it becomes 1901. Forward direction. 3. Tenet is different. The concept of the film is that your direction in time itself can be inverted. So today is 2024. But a year from now it will be 2023 for you. You will keep aging and living your life, but your direction through time is inverted. The sun goes the opposite direction. Everyone around you is walking backwards. They talk backwards from your perspective. Etc. It’s a brilliant concept and very enjoyable to watch unfold on the screen.
Just imagine plopping down in a movie theater to have an informal chat with Christopher Nolan. While I’m virtually positive that’s not what this is, the back drop of a movie theater that looks like just about every movie theater I’ve seen in recent years . Combined with the low lighting which brings back memories of those hushed conversations you’d have with friends before the curtains opened up. Debating the finer points of the ideas in the film even before you’ve seen it. This just feels like you’re having the same type of casual conversation with the guy who happened to make the film.
@@mrpestydesperado of course!! I am not dismissing his other movies. But I am a sucker for Time travelling type movies and imo Nolan just knocked it out of the park with the genre. I have seen TENET like 4 times till, but still I am learning new details!!
Tenet is one of those movies that everytime you watch it, you'll notice something or the other that you didn't the previous time. I think that's something special.
Tenet is the literal example of - needing to watching a film twice just to understand it. I had an unfortunate experience the first time but I had a tremendous experience the second time. Y’all already know that Nolan ain’t no Michael bay; every movie he’s made is laborious in storytelling. Tenet is no different. You really have to pay attention but the effort pays off. The film is totally underrated but I’m certain it will be appreciated for what it is in years to come. I have a very unique almost visceral experience watching this movie.
I think time (no pun intended, seriously) will be kind to Tenet. When it first came out, at surface level and first viewing for most, it seemed incredibly convoluted; but after watching it even just once more, you begin to understand how everything works. The older the film gets and the more people who watch it, and watch it again and again, the more appreciation I think it’ll gain.
i wonder what would happen if you stood half in the red room and half in the blue one… or might the same room with different exits,… in that sense which direction does time flow inside the room… but both protag and neil approached different exits at the same time prior during the airport… what if they both entered and exchanged directions… why am i thinking about this
As Einstein said, if you can't explain it to a 5 year old, you don't understand it yourself...it's nice that he can "feel it" but there's a problem with the core concept behind the film, and on top of that there's no character arc. Reversing an object or a person's entropy is hairbrained, at least the way they depict it. The protagonist is the same at the end as he is at the start so the other half of the film isn't fleshed out either, there are two half-assed part of a film in which it seems like they went into production after a first draft...there are a lot of issues with Tenet, it's easily Nolan's weakest film...and the arrogance he showed when people brought up the legit complaint about how clear the dialogue was was another flaw.
I def need to rewatch it. First time I was so pissed because I like Nolan a lot, but he got me lost so many times in that movie… and not only me, my friends also. A must rewatch tho!
After first watching the movie I felt like Nolan could use The Protagonist and Tenet in another movie like his very own Bond franchise. Only with a different sci-fi idea attached to it.
Essentially what he's saying is that tenet's machines has the capability of turning back time for certain objects, and the characters who has mastered observing it's temporal trajectory are able to ascertain an approximation of where the objects/persons was before the current time. For example, you walk towards a house full of bullet holes, and tenet is activated, you know from the form of the holes which direction the bullets came from so you know where to put yourself out of harms way when the bullet comes out of the house and to the direction where the gun that fired it used to be. Obviously the gun wouldn't be there because only the bullets are affected. You see in tenet only objects that are prepared for temporal changes can be affected by it. i.e. the nuclear missiles and some of the bullets, and persons.
Either I have not understand Tenet at all or something, but I do not need any explanation it was really clear, crystal clear. After the 24th time seeing the movie, nothing to explain.
robert pattinson character plays the villian son from future try to help hero to defeat him in past and undo his work , sin of the fathers story in time travel costume
Explanation for tenet is pretty simple actually not that complex. People view time travel as you getting in at one point in time and coming out in another but in tenet you are literally travelling back in time in real time. That means time is flowing backwards in relative to you. Its quite simple, and astonishes me how people dont get it.
I want to to tell him how much this film helped me thru some times I’ll just say that. But also the beautiful story of it. Unfortunately idk if I will get that chance
If you Really wanna understand TENET, just study the entire highway sequence. Once you've grasped the Reason everything happens the way it does, How the character's act based on what they understand, and subsequently Why the ones with more understanding have more control, then the rest of the film will become crystal clear. That particular scene is the most convoluted and layered because it is finally giving you all of the tools
To be honest I feel like tenet was more like a stylish action film rather than being very meaningful or very in depth story like his other movies. For me Tenet is a perfect Nolan fan movie and not meant for all. But still amazes me that this is his weakest movie but still manages to be such an amazing concept that some screenwriters can only dream about how he has these ideas.
I liked this movie a lot and have seen it three times now. Almost every movie requires the suspension of belief so why pick apart this one? You either enjoy it or you don’t. You either feel it or you don’t, and that’s okay. I will always support directors, especially masters like Nolan, trying something I’ve never seen before.
I love the film. I also like that Nolan is making films that challenge the intelligence of the masses rather than contributing to its Tldr-inspired decline into Wall-E like human redundancy. Tenet is like a book you can read many times and see something new, debate with your bredrins, think you've grapsed and be confused again, all whilst still enjoying the journey and outcome of the narrative 👏🏾
I better appreciated Tenet after a second viewing. The idea and world are phenomenal. I'd have liked the main character to be more fleshed out or at least have a real name.
Hey, everyone! My name is Sean Zamir. I would like to connect with Christopher Nolan, even if it's just for a minute or a day. This could mark the end of the potential start of a beautiful friendship, don't you think? I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to ask a few questions and have a brief conversation. Thank you for considering this, if possible. I just want to talk not even post it Best regards, Sean
Tenet is really about the relationship between Sator (Kenneth Branagh) and Kat (some tall actress), and how she betrays him by helping the protagonist. That’s the vibe I get
To me it’s a very filmic movie. In the sense that time is medium of cinema. Particularly with regard to film. Like the celluloid running over a tape head in a particular direction. And then you can just push rewind and the film is now going in the reverse direction. The machine to me is like the tapehead on an old editing table.
Am I the only one who had no issue with the story (interesting concept and I loved the visual style), but with the sound mix? I often found dialogues hard to understand. That was frustrating me the most about this movie.
Finally! yeah bro it's not that hard, it's just time moving forward and backward just it, and it meets in the same place that's Tenet. why is it so hard to understand for others?
I saw it twice (streaming) and feel I missed it. Perhaps I need to “experience” it more like an avant-Garde film where it just washes over you. Pure cinema, so to speak. The pandemic made it difficult to see on the big screen but I hope it comes to town.
I have seen it 4 times and was underwhelmed 4 times. The movie is too cold and does not care enough to engage its viewer with its concepts, plot, or characters. Its pacing makes the film feel three hours long when it's only two and a half. Oppenheimer is three hours and felt shorter and is a vastly superior film too.
Tenet is one of my strangest film experiences First watch I hated it But I was captivated by it So I rewatched some time later I figured out a bit more and liked it more Now I am close to my sixth watch and it's one of my favorite Sci fi movies ever
It might not be a time travel movie but it has a bit of it. Like when the girl watches herself jumping off the boat? If she was able to see her future self that's time travel to me.
Immerse yourself in the film. Don’t think too much. Commit to the creative process. Be yourself. Let go of your past trauma and don’t superimpose your perspective on the film. Don’t judge the film. Watch it with unconditional love and the mastery will become visible. Believe in yourself and the film beyond your own subjective inhibitions that are not allowing you to see the beauty of this masterpiece. Just let go and you will see. We are not used to something as great as this. It’s worth a few revisits to appreciate. You’re not mature enough now. Time will reveal the film’s greatness to you. Trust the process. 😂
Yeah but still makes no sense cause of the time paradox. That means time can only move in one direction no matter if you create a machine that reverse it. Imagen the opposite of gravity.
Tenet is definitely not for an ordinary filmgover .. you need to rewatch it, read about it.. and watch it back to back to appreciate what Nolan has tried.. Leave the visual execution.. only when you understand the working of the film.. will you really understand the script and dialogues.. the sheer brilliance of writing involved in tenet is mind boggling..
the only way to understand tenent is breakdown this by an timetravelexpert than break that by another expert and keep going on breaking down previous breakdown till u have linear story
