i know this may be seem foreign to you, but there are people who do that in the real world for 8+ hours a day... lmao. not to mention, thats his normal voice xD
My friend and I watched this in theaters and we just kept saying “wtf is happening” but it was an amazing movie. I don’t envy how much work you had to put in to break it down but always appreciated.
Slightly unrelated but how were you able to watch this in theater what with the pandemic and all? I miss going to the movies but every cinema around me is closed (frustrating but totally understandable). Either way best wishes, I'm just curious is all :P
Prescott Herbert I agree with you I feel like Nolan wanted to make a high concept Scfi movie for hardcore fans of the genre. He succeeded but it kinda left casual viewers out in the cold. Inception I argue hits just the right balance of complexity and accessibility. Interstellar I’ve always argue was Nolan’s own version 2001 a space odyssey
@@brainzapbaby8885 for some reason our local theater was open. We were skeptical about going but once we were there, there was only 8 people in the theater watching the movie us included.
They never are. All his videos are synopsis', so yeah, all of them are mislabeled. But, if you don't want to sit through a movie but still wanna know what happened, this is the place to be. 😊
@@peruperu-jj8zs honestly i needed this video after watching the movie. it wasnt the time travelling part that confused me, it was why some things happened. why did he meet with some old british guy and how did he know to meet with him? i wouldn't have known that if i didn't watch this. i also didnt have captions when i saw the movie so those wouldve helped
@callmecatalyst Comments explained. Me am angry and me love found flix and me no like ppl and dumb movies but foundflix make dumb movies and dumb ppl good.
Yer as you realise most the way through film he was fighting himself, part that made me laugh was how he beat up those guys in kitchen with ease, yet after that he got beat up several times with me expecting him to kill that main boss at end, but overall was a brilliant film
This is the kind of movie where you'll be like.. "Hmm.." "Ohh.." "Wait what?" "Ahh..." "Wait-- what??" "Okay okay I get it... " "Nope.. i'm wrong i don't get it" "Okay okay that's nice I think I am picking it up for real." *Movie ends* "Hmm.. I think I am still confused let me search up some explanations to finally settle things out."
The fact that Robert Pattinson had no clue what was going on whilst filming and instead chose to learn his lines and go along with whatever he was told about the plot, was really a hidden message from Nolan to the audience.
This isn’t really an explanation. It’s just a re telling of the plot. You don’t really get anything new from this that you wouldn’t have already gotten just from watching the movie.
@@KrystalTwilight when I see explained I think of a analysis and not just a summary of what literally happened. Especially when it’s a movie like Tenet.
Simple. Nobody understand because it involves time travel which is impossible for us to understand. Just like how a sentient 2D drawing would understand how 3D works
@@CharterForGaming there’s a really interesting story, film, animation I can’t really remember called flatworld where sentient 2D shapes exist and the main thing is the arrival of a sphere, it’s actually has some really good explanations and analogies for what it is like to perceive something that operates with more dimensions than yourself. Since everyone is 2D they see each other as just lines of different size but if something moves up or down (third dimension) it’s as if it’s spontaneously stopped existing in your perspective it’s actually quite fascinating
@@AverageAwesomeDude isn’t it also a book? I have a book called Flatworld and it’s also about a 2D dimension with the research made by the flat shapes about a 3d dimension
This "explanation" is deceivingly simplistic. You're just going over the movie scene by scene and stating the obvious, even quoting exact dialogue. 0.1% of this video is your personal deductions. You could have saved us 30 minutes of this and given a 5 min synopsis of the movie before delving into your personal findings and insight.
And I still can't figure out why they never want to duplicate the comics and make Superheroes look like the comics by getting bodybuilders to play the role. He's too skinny to be Batman.
@@WingThaiJ What’s to figure out? That’s like literally every other comic book movie made in history. Actors beefing up for roles has been a staple in Hollywood for decades. You can always watch Ben Afflecks Batman if you wanna look at comic book accurate pecks and abs.
One thing that still seems ridiculous to me is how the characters can’t breath non-inverted air, but their eyes can pick up non-inverted light waves. Still a really entertaining experience, and I’d love to see more of Neil and Protagonist’s adventures in the future.
Isn't light kinda special though? Because light (photons/light waves) has no mass, it doesn't experience time. It's why nothing can be faster than light in our universe - everything else has mass slowing it down, causing it to experience time. So I think inversion has no effect on light. Or it could all just be a contrivance in service to the plot, and they never thought of it 😂
I thought it would have something to do with trying to convert C02 back into Oxygen. Your lungs can do it one way but they can't do it the other way. Meanwhile photons are all relativistic and probably don't mind you moving backwards so much.

What I've realised after watching this is that I understood what happened in the movie perfectly, it's just too batshit insane to actually make sense. Great film
One reason Tenet is so confusing is because there's a lot of filler storylines that seem important but really aren't. Like multiple huge storylines. And ironically some of those (the stuff with the Mob, CIA and Tenet itself) were more confusing than the inverse stuff. Plot is actually simple: John sets up a series of events in the past from the future to stop the universe from ending because he knows exactly what needs to happen because he lived through it and got help from himself. Everything else is just confusing for the sake of being confusing. Plus seeing inverted people do stuff (and the whole ending fight) is kind of a mind fuck but that's not plot crucial.
When that chick who showed him the gun said "don't try to understand it, just feel it." I was like "oh, it's one of those movies, and there's the cop-out." It was pretty much a cue to check out mentally and just enjoy the action and scenery.
Loved Tenet. What a concept. A film about a man trapped in a temporal loop in which he can never quite get the hot sauce he’d just ordered an hour ago, doomed to repeat his mission forever and ever with plain, dry-ass, no-hot-sauce chicken.
I just watched the movie through my school for free, now seeing the breakdown I felt a pain seeing the red tag on the soldier (Neil) that saved John in the very beginning. Catching those little details feels so bittersweer
My question is, if Neil was sent back from the future to the beginning of the movie, that means he must have spent like half his life traveling backwards in time right? Since time travel isn't instant. So in order for him to have traveled all the way back to the beginning he must have spent years living in inverted time. Which also means the time he spent with the protagonist in the future must have been when he was like a teenager? Which means he was probably recruited as a kid?
A lot of people failed to understand that Neil is an older Max that will be recruted by The Protagonist and spend his life on time missions, reason why he's older than himself in the same time period
@@ricardokassanda5973 right I get that he's max but in order for the timing to work out he basically had to have recruited max basically right after the end of the movie right? Meaning when max was just a kid.
You know, I think he could have been sort of put in stasis and then reversed, he wouldn’t age and he wouldn’t need to eat or drink until his reversion ends, seems plausible to me.
The end of the movie is after all the time travel stuff we watch. Since time is moving regular when he's creeping on blondie, it makes sense that they just jump around willy nilly when they want or need to. Could be years in between jumps.
The amount of thought put into this movie is absolutely incredible. I feel like I could watch this shit over and over again for the rest of my life and still not completely understand everything lol
Long time ago at a Blur concert. The big screen behind the band played a coiled turd at rest. It started to unfold as it re-entered the hole it came from... about seven thousand people simultaneously cried out in disgust... I've never forget.
Tenet is a good movie, it’s nice seeing people who like the movie also nice seeing those who don’t quite get it either. Nolan was very daring with his 3rd time I believe telling a story of with time. Neil tells us who’s at war when he explains the grandfather paradox. We’re learning about a much much bigger battle backwards it’s almost like a origin story for how the protagonist becomes the leader of the organization. The battle between our future selves and past. Weird hearing your future self is trying to kill you, usually it’s the other way around but the movie inverts that train of thought.
I thought the far-future people were never seen. Only near-future Protagonist and the Villain having heard from them. The Inverted objects were sent by the far-future while the Inverted people were sent by near-future Tenet organization.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 Exactly, as the far future "antagonists" would have died from old age in the first place if they were to try inverting themselves to "stop" the global warming event by committing the grandfather paradox war crime. Only objects sealed within the time capsules can make it, and I doubt future folks have invented cryogenic chambers for inversion either.
I really enjoyed the film, but something that bothered me was how much Protagonists cared for Kat. He was incredibly passionate for her after seemingly knowing her for a short-period of time.
Yeah if you noticed he was that way from the beginning. When he risked his life to change the mission and save the civilians from the bomb. He felt bad after putting her in danger which is why he put so much of an effort to make sure she had a happy ending with her son
@@cacao4249 yeah but during the events of the movie he has no idea how important her son is. His treatment of her is down to the characteristics of his own personality
Jordan Nguyen I’m not trying to sound smart lmao I was honestly super hype for this and went to the damn theater during corona szn and I’m disappointed that’s all, I thought it’d be one of those think about it a year later type films.
1. There's complains about him explaining entire movie instead of just the ending. 2. I think this is one of those movies where the entire movie is confusing rather than only the ending. Tbf I think the ending is pretty simple compared to the rest of the movie. Personally my favourite Nolan movie
Bought the movie and watched it with subtitles so I dont miss a damn thing, slightly clearer but still confusing AF. But I'm the type that tries to understand the science/theory behind it so it was hard
Explained doesn’t mean, summaraize the dialogue from every single scene in chronological order. It means explain what the fuck is going on in this movie
@@vanessaandresson7318 yeah I know I plan on watching it again (like all Nolan movies they are on there own level) and yes I need to focus on it. A lot of movies don’t require such attention and I think that’s why this one gets the wrap it has. I want to like it, I will give it more tries.
@@seanrichardgreen I’ve seen it twice in theaters and it makes SO much more sense as you watch it again. You’ll catch little things that Nolan is such a perfectionist to include. The physics of the Tenet universe still make little sense to me but I can follow the scenes much better
@@jewey1894 UPDATE: Just saw this again just now, and THANK YOU ALL for the tip to pay super close attention, honestly. I totally got it this time and I can say that it is a very well done movie, the pacing is awesome. Can't share too much for those that dont want to the tricks of the story spoiled. The Internet helped me today! I am assuming that since I have largely spend WAY TOO much time on short attention span cinema, tv and you toobs or that I have also logged a lot of time with a show or a new movie on in the background that I havent had to spend too much time focused on a story. This movie is like a 007/Mission Impossible movie that still fancies itself as an old British Spy thriller. The music is wonderful yet I cant help but think what if Portishead did the soundtrack! Anyhoo looks like Nolan got his 007 movie after all!
Yeah and because I cared about that a lot I cant understand the critics, that say the characters had no depth and importance to the viewer. I felt different.
@@carlsasau6162 so what if I told you Neil was actually the bad guys kid and that’s why the bad guy says the only thing I regret is bring a child into a world that’s ending; hinting at that his own kid stopped his master plan.
@@irwinbonilla-guerra4196 I totally thought Max was Neil. Especially with the same hair, they’re both English. Kind of wish you could have seen the same charm on Max’s bag.
Nolan is honestly a genius making this film, the whole temporal pincer thing is amazing and really well thought out. how did he even come up with this?

This movie needed The Protagonist ("John") to have a more visceral motivation than "If Sator dies he's a piece of the algorithm holding the universe together" like "Sator killed his wife" or "Sator is holding innocent people hostage"
Movie Theaters: Help! Covid destroyed our profits and people aren't watching enough movies Tenet: Let's make a movie where people have to watch it 5 times to understand!
Professor: Today we will discuss the relativity of time, has anybody watched Tenet? Me: oh boy, im either going to get it or walk out more confused than ever
actually not really. The movie is very straight forward. Neil's entire journey explains it. The more you learn, the more you realize that things need to happen because they already happened. That is why ignorance was so powerful. Knowing meant you no longer could change anything without reprecussions. Neil probably didn't know things at the start, but as the movie went on he began to realize what he had to do, and accept death so that the org can be made. The creation of the org leads to his death, they are linked. It was self-fulling, and leaving it to chance wasn't an option. That is what Neil meant at the end. He had to see it through to the end, or else something could change. He also had to be prepared to deal with any changing threats. He basically exists in that pocket timeline knowing full well that anything could come. That is why the future is fked, and why the org was created. The more people realized that time can be tampered with, the more they realized how they screwed themselves. Ignorance is the only solution. Everything in the movie is completely straight forward, it just seems complicated because it wasn't explained well enough. They also wanted to leave ambiguity for plot and reasoning, which makes it hard to fully explain things. If you knew exactly what was going on, it boils down to a movie about stopping a bad guy who wants to destroy the world. This movie was just taking a spin on creating an action adventure flick using a unique gimmick.
@@yummychips_ i get most of it, what I need more clarification is how did the inverted neil get into the bunker before the protagonist+ives and volkov? the city was already occupied and guarded and had temporal pincer in place. There is no scene that I remember to show how neil could have gone into the turnstile and made it through both normal and inverted units. The hole in the ceiling isn't an option since the humvee wouldn't be there. Can someone help me out
I believe the reason we don’t find out the name for protagonist name or backstory is because he not only started up tenet but also was in the group that wanted to end the world. That is why information is directly kept from him. It points out that the antagonist cannot know that he failes. If so he will just go back and keep trying until he was successful. This gives a big the reasons why we know nothing of the main character he is both sides of the coin. What do you think?
But judging by how the world hasn't been reverted by a bunch of tactical gear agents and Priya even stated the scientist inventing inverted materials committed suicide after knowing the "antagonists" would try to use it to destroy the past, but also it was revealed that Protagonist is the founder of Tenet in the future, but the tech wouldn't have been invented way after our lifetime. Plus unlike conventional time travel, a person, even if having their body reverted to the past, would still age as a normal person for the time it takes for them to go the point that they went back, so Tenet agents (Neil included) are much older than they appear, with Sir Michael stated his involvement in the Cold War as well. Even if Protagonist is the real antagonist and all of these are his future-self attempts to uh, dominate the world. then someone else, even bigger than Tenet, pulled the strings so that the future doesn't commit the grandfather paradox in the first place. Why would he want to kill everyone in the past if that risks creating a paradox?
A movie who's last 15 minutes overwhelmed me in the best way. I legit wanted to cry. It's not necessarily romance, but it's love, it's trust, it's devotion. And seeing those pieces line up and understanding what's about to happen, what already happened, was so beautiful and tragic.
@@RenfromBespin the protagonist, it didnt directly happen on screen but it was that scene when he was captured and they were in between the trains torturing/interrogatiing him
Here's a theory: he's being duplicated by a time-traveling machine where his knowledge of time-traveling causes his own existence to remember everything from the beginning. It's just his memories are in inverse. That's why his friend (Neil) asked why he's having headaches (new memories coming in reverse).
IKR! Took me 30 minutes to realize this and now I'm just frustrated, I could have used that time to rewatch part of the movie and try to understand more details I missed at first.
After watching the movie, i had thought "What if the organization that is helping Sator was Tenet itself?". Like, this whole time the same organization has been playing both sides. Then why would they put both sides at each other's to fight over the same algorithm? Well, at the end of the movie Neil, John and Ives all held parts of the algorithm then all of them are tasked to hide it then presumably kill themselves to hide the information. Neil gave John his part of the algorithm then sacrificed himself to open the door, so he's not liable. However since John is hinted to be the guy to form Tenet in the future, he needs to be alive later on for everything to take place. This means that John didn't kill himself, so eventually, Ives has to look for him. Now, what if in the future Ives failed to kill John. This means that John is in possession of the entire algorithm in the future. This is the temporal pincer.
@@fallvegas the Protagonist's actor's name is John David Washington. Founflix just call him John (actor name) instead of The Protagonist, maybe because its easier to say
It for real isn’t that complex, the main problem is how hard it is to hear the plot points they make when they explain so it feels confusing. Watch it with subtitles and it’s much, much easier to follow
I'm confused about the airport scene. In this scene the protagonist and niel move in reverse with respect to the non inverted people that are there. Wouldn't they have spotted two people running backwards like madmen? Wouldn't that draw attention? I for sure if I saw someone walking backwards would definitely have had some questions.
yeah that is what they see. if you watch the scene in reverse you can actually see some firemen do a double take looking at the but everyone is so concerned with the *plane that crashed into the building* to worry about two people running backwards.
I mean bane legit was not a villain you can’t change my mind like the fact he was like fuck the rich is spot on unless your rich now was he a little aggressive about yes but meh
@@kkandsims4612 Lol You obviously didn't understand the Dark Knight Rises. It wasn't fuck the rich. It was fuck everybody. He overthrew the rich in order to make everybody suffer equally. At the end of the movie, Bane tried to kill everybody. He didn't let anybody live. Rich or poor.
"You don't negotiate with a tiger. You admire it until it turns on you." Carol baskins eyes glisten from the light reflecting off the TV, a smirk makes it way from ear to ear..
33:08 the person in the right side of the screen is Niel, the Niel that is in normal time (the Niel in the background) is running to the car to honk at Ives and The Protagonist and then save them from being blown up. But because in the film we are watching this from the inverted Niels perspective the Niel in the background is running backwards because they are in normal time. Obviously
