Christopher Nolan's 2020 blockbuster Tenet features an outside of a great sci-fi action adventure movie, but also a pretty empty inside -- all stemming from its all-in mentality with the concept of time inversion. Tenet looks and plays cool but at the same time doesn't feel like much, which becomes very evident if you compare it to something like Inception for example. So in today's Anatomy of a Failure, let's see how -- despite succeeding in concept the way we've talked about in videos about The Old Guard and Gemini Man before -- Tenet suffers from the negative side of high-concept.

The emotional connection would've helped but I just think Nolan actively tried to avoid that. ALl his movies have some "love" element and maybe he tried to get away from that for once. The ONLY thing I thought was annoying was that there was SO much exposition, and if it was delivered in a less monotone manner, it would've made up for the lack of emotion

@paradise_valley 3 года назад

True. You gotta feel for the guy. His brother Jon added a love story to his Memento Mori short story concept he used for Memento. His following films have love play a part as well. It’s refreshing to not have on here, and the Sator-Kat-Protagonist love triangle they hint at early in is nothing more than business on both sides thank goodness.

@mikfhan 3 года назад

Yeah a short miniseries like Chernobyl could have flashed out more of the time travel and character motivations, giving them a chance to show proper reactions and easing audience into the whole time inversion thing, it's weird enough to wrap your head around another character already having carried out an action, and what you see is just the events leading up to it in reverse order. AND you can invert the time inversion at any point, AND the whole pincer move thing. Trippy.

@logicrules5793 3 года назад

Straight up. His lack of character development I'm sure would come around in the second one because it's most likely a prequel. Because of the time travel aspect, the story is told backwards and we effectively just saw the big ending and next movie will be the character building feels that he wanted. People calling this movie bad are just confused because they don't have all the info. Guaranteed once they see the second one they'll reflect and see it as much better. It's like how some songs start out slow and eventually ramp up to a heart pounding beat. I've heard plenty songs that will be gentle for the first minute thirty seconds and then give you a heart attack. If you only like energetic music you might stop listening 30 seconds in and have a bad opinion of the song. But if you listen to the whole thing you might enjoy it. It's the same thing here if you don't watch the second movie you can't accurately judge the story I hope to see a lot more from this franchise

@holybalognajabronies2013 3 года назад

I DEF appreciate this commentary. Inception is one of my favorite films of all time, not just cuz of how cool all of action and concepts of dreams and inspiration and idea implanting are, but b/c I STILL tear up just thinking about that scene of Cobb saying he knew inception was possible b/c he did it to his own wife, and how he KNEW shewant real was b/c of the unbearable weight of the guilt he felt for infecting her mind with the need to wake up from any reality she found herself in. That combination is what made for a truly unforgettable movie.

You can't judge a turtle by its ability to fly. This movie really is basically only about the concept and the paradoxes and to make you think about it and have fun figuring out how it would work.

They don't go to the airport for inverted bullets. They go to the airport to find what TP (in the past) believes to be fissile material for a nuclear bomb. The inverted fight scene happens because Future Protagonist is at that specific Turnstile since it is the only one he knows is safe to use to save another character. Tenet has its flaws, I'll grant you that. But what the characters are doing and why is very well explained in the film. Every single point where you asked "Why though?" Was explained very well beforehand. The concept of time-travel as explored in Tenet is difficult to understand, but the plot itself is fairly simple to follow.

To me, Tenet recreated the experience of watching Bond movies as a child. Of those 007 instalments with Sean Connery, the ‘protagonist’ didn’t have the emotional ties, he was doing his thing for the country. And eventually he was fighting against some powerful enemy to save the world at the same time being charismatic and womanising all the way. So, Nolan showed us a Bond movie, but with a more human James Bond - at the start he doesn’t have any emotional ties, he shouldn’t since he’s a special forces agent. He’s charismatic, but doesn’t use his charisma to get into anyone’s pants.

Tenet is literally Memento's Narrative style turned into an actual plot.

@j.m.w.5064 3 года назад

Fascinating - if at all it's the other way round: Memento's technical execution serves the human element in the film and it has a well established emotional core - meaning, suffering, grieve, life goals, self-deception and so on in a life that can't develop. It raises a lot of questions about life and you actually feel something. Tenet is bare of any human emotion or personal impact. It's a sanitised execution of one half-baked Sci-fi concept and that's it.

@haikalrifqinandika8724 2 года назад

Yes, this is what I thinking too.... calling this movie (tenet) bad is a big false, however yeah the movie is fail due to lack of drama. However, this movie is worth to watch, bcs this is the most mindfuck movie ever made yet. Or if you want to be simple: Tenet: A film that using the Terminator's concept, but Nolan went too far😅

@Boredman567 3 года назад

The characters may not have personal emotional stakes in the plot, but it's spelled out pretty bluntly in the scene with the scientist. She explains that they need to investigate and stop the source of these inverted arms, or else they could end up catastrophically destroying the world. She even predicts that a massive war is coming. The question of "Why should we care?" is already answered. We may not be invested in the emotions of the characters yet, but the stakes for the world are established. Stakes that are raised as the movie progresses. As for the airport scene, we've already been introduced to Kat, and we know that Sator is blackmailing her to stay under his thumb. They go to the airport because that's where he keeps the Goya drawing that implicates her, and to find what other secret he has there relating to the time inversion. The truck heist scene is done to steal nuclear material, as a bargain he made with Sator to save Kat and himself, and to further investigate Sator's arms dealings. Again, the protagonist has little personal investment in these scenes, but we know there are world-endangering stakes at play here. Not to mention, Protag has clearly started to care about Kat, so saving her from Sator is one of his main goals. And at the beginning, he learns that he lost his whole team in the opera siege, which also gives him some personal emotional stakes.

I went to see this on opening day with my younger brother, and while he enjoyed it, I didn't. I was really hoping Nolan was going to add more to the spy thriller genre alongside the great idea of time inversion, like giving more depth to the characters involved and how mentally they'd freak out over this sort of time travel (ala Memento or Inception style). But nope, we got a predictable James Bond/Mission Impossible "tribute" that only reminded me why I'm not really a fan of the genre (and ironically, made me want to see those movies instead to see if they were any better). Hopefully he'll improve on his next one, though, since I still like his earlier movies. Or just bring back his brother Jonathan for screenwriting again. :/

Apart from the incredible amount of plotholes and bs (which is unavoidable with all timetravel movies etc.) I highly enjoyed the movie itself. It was entertaining like most of Nolan's movies. If someone is interested in a lot more advanced, realistic movie that deal with time travel (and the complications of it) you should watch "Primer". Definitely not a mainstream popcorn flick. But a very good indie movie.

You're right, since Dunkirk he's going more on the approach on no introduce backstories or a traditional character arc for their protagonists. He's asking you to focus on character's actions and decisions in order to you create a picture of how and why they're like that. For Dunkirk he said was inspired by the movie The Battle of Algiers which it's a movie which tries to create empathy by the events and not by the characters. That was the approach with Dunkirk and in Tenet he went in that same direction, The world (along with the time inversion and that particular cold war) is a character by itself: ever changing as long as the protaginist moves towards the story into knowing the true nature of his mission and his roll in this whole operation. I really like Filmento's film analysis but sometimes I think he tries to measure evey film he analizes with same bar, specially his videos which are about hollywood blockbusters. It's clearly that Nolan, even though he's under the hollywood system he doesn't like to go by its standards. So that's the reason why a part of the audience will feel misplaced by Nolan's current narrative approach.

Why go through the trouble of making him a fish out of water character if he doesn't react like one. Ditch all the boring(inaudible) talks then and just let us watch a person who's already familiar with this world do some mind bending action and we'll catch up later on the mechanics of it.

What many people haven't understand about the concept of inversion in this movie is that it is not a parallel inverted universe where people live inverted; the key to inversion here is that it is a weapon or a technique people use to travel to the past and prevent/try to change an event or an action. They appear backwards because the events in time are moving forward and the inverted movements come as a result of using the machine that not only helps them find a window in time but also to invert their entropy to accomplish a/the task.

@proph7543 4 месяца назад

I think the fact that we know nothing about the characters is supposed to make the film seem more clandestine, and I think that it works. It ties into one crucial theme of the film, which is absolute secrecy, as any information left over in the present can be found in the future. However, it still lets in enough information for you to get a sense of the world you're in, or in other words it still achieves good world building. The issue is that they've gone too far here, and the main character is an enigma. We know he likes diet cokes, we know he's extremely pragmatic and mission focused, but still sentimental when it comes to the people we know, but we know nothing about his past and not even his name, so it's hard to get a really good read on him *unless you watch the film again, knowing who he is from the start*. Meanwhile, we know the names of everyone else involved, bar a couple of exceptions. It's even possible that Neil is actually Kat's son. But it's fine if his name and past are unknown, he's black-ops CIA, he operates at the highest level of secrecy (or thinks he does, until the starting sequence is finished). His name doesn't dictate his character, he's not evil if his name's Josh, he's not a paragon of virtue if his name is Steve. His past being laid out could take away from his mystique. What's left out is as you've put it his emotional hook. He's only become attached to people once he's started working for the unnamed group. In Inception, it's the other way around. Really, the thing that Tenet fails at *as a commercial movie*, but which I love it for is that it's a film that gets better when you rewatch it, but is on first viewing frequently quite opaque in regards to some important points or sequences. It's the inverse of Hotfuzz, another great movie. In Hotfuzz, the main plot is incredibly simple, but every time you watch it gets better because you notice another detail. In Tenet, you notice all manner of interesting things first time around but you only start to understand it when you watch it again. It's plot itself is hard to know upon first viewing, at least for a lot of people, so they're discouraged from watching it again. It's the kind of film that, if you're intrigued by it, you'll come to find is very good. But that's not a great recipe for a movie that you're selling tickets for. Rambling over.

The Protagonist is meant to be an inverted James Bond. The beginning of the movie sets up that he's willing to die to protect people he may not even know. This is carried through when he meets the main villain's wife, and rather than use her for his own gain, genuinely tries to help her by robbing the airport to grab the painting. His desire to help her and his total devotion to the mission is what creates the conflict, as he's told multiple times that she must die, but refuses to believe it. At the end of the film, he realizes that his friend, Robert Pattinson, must die, and accepts it, but is still able to help the villain's wife without compromising the mission. The end battle exists to wrest the inverted bomb from the forces of the main villain and disarm it. The emotional stake is that if the Protagonist fails, then the woman he's been trying to help the entire film will suffer greatly (and probably die) at the villain's hands.

An hour before the deadline, he decided to just chuck those whatever clips he could salvage. some got jumbled on those final cut pro timeline. no worries, ill come back to it later. 5 minutes before deadline, he drag and drop all the effects and music. dammit, he forgot to lower down the sound effects.. but he only got a 1 minute left. fuck it. command s this shit and send it to the producers.

It's interesting because if you ask most people to describe them Inception, I doubt they'll even describe his family drama as a particular key plot point or even refer it at all. I really have a bad time with this type of "if there's no family killed or at least kidnapped, there's no emotional connection by the viewer to the movie or character" argument. Almost every single movie script includes that kind of stuff, someone very close (family member, friend, dog, whatever...) in distress or dead that drives the protagonist to do what he does in the movie. Good lord... talk about cliché. It actually puts me off when I see a movie go for that easy trope to try establish character / audience connection. I mean, it's not like in the real world out there people only get stuff done if their family has been killed or kidnapped. It's fake, cheap and overused hollywood melodrama. If the movie doesn't explain enough the implications and consequences of a major plot going on, then fair enough, I'm on board with kind of discussion. But going with the "we don't understand why the protagonist is invested in this because he has no personal life drama" and/or "if he had a family member killed, then this would make more sense" arguments, it's something I really can't really agree with. Just my opinion, I respect all other points of view, including the ones I listed here and I'm aware that it's how hollywood movies work for general audiences, unfortunately.

But I must tell you you didn't understand how the movie's idea works or at least that's what you're saying in your comment. It's not about reversing time, it's about reversing the entropy of objects and peoples relative to the "normal" direction of time. To me this is no more ridiculous than the idea of dreams within dreams, the point is to play around with the meaning of time (which fundamentally doesn't exist, only the present moment ever does). The evil plan is for the people in the future to reverse time for the whole earth because they have basically used up earth's resources. The main idea is people going backwards in time to change the outcome, but remember WE ONLY SEE THE REALITY WERE THEY ALREADY CAME BACK which is confusing at first, seeing characters and objects meet themselves, but there is a basis for it in physics. Personally I'm so used to movies were I end up predicting everything that happens way too early it was so refreshing to be left not fully getting it at first and having to watch it again, and trust me the more you watch it the more you understand it makes a lot of sense, and I feel a lot of people decide to find flaws because they don't want to bother and throw the baby with the bath water, which again is fine not everyone is meant to enjoy everything !

Yes you do! The fault is with those who go very deep with concept, but don't have the balls to commit 100%. At least Tenet commits fully, and I for one respect that. Not some half assed shit that wants to try but doesn't dare and plays it a bit safe. I honestly didn't care about the lack of emotional investment in this case, because the concept was strong enough to stand on its own imo. I love emotion-driven movies, but there are quite a few of them, especially from Nolan, so seeing this take was refreshing.

As a Nolan fan, i agree 100% with your analysis. My hypothesis on why Tenet has these issues is twofold: 1) Nolan is no longer working his his brother Jonah… a much better WRITTER. 2) Its evident that Nolan tried to emulate the high-concept of Inception with the stale character minimalism and intensity of Dunkirk. Both of those approaches worked great in the two films, but when combined in Tenet it left it lifeless.

@denmanfite3156 3 года назад

The problem with "some things" going "backwards" in time is it makes it ridiculously hard to tell what is happening on the screen. There were long sections of this movie where I thought to myself "What the fuck is even going on." and it ALWAYS had a component of "going backwards" happening at the same time.

@Profile__1 3 года назад

I can definitely understand if you disagree with this statement, but in my opinion that's a MAJOR benefit of watching this movie. It's fantastic to watch it several times. The first time I watched it with someone, we both almost immediately agreed to watch it again right after. Especially with the covid quarantine, the movie being difficult to watch in one watch was a bonus, as we could literally pause/rewatch however many times we wanted to. It didn't feel confusing, so much as it felt like I just wasn't getting it--that if I watched it again, I could appreciate it on an even deeper level.

@denmanfite3156 3 года назад

@@Profile__1 I see the appeal of that and it's sort of like scrolling back a great audio book or rereading a page. I find that to be awe-shattering when it comes to film, especially one intended to have a high-stakes energy of "hurry up and go" only to then require you to roll back 35 seconds as you try to "get" what just happened. Suddenly there's no urgency and the tension is lost. I don't think film as a medium lends itself to this kind of story telling. It works in other places- I don't think you're wrong at all, but I have to say it's the same as replaying parts of a video game because you are dying to a silly mistake. It takes the energy out and ups the frustration.

@Profile__1 3 года назад

@@denmanfite3156 Normally I'd agree with the energy being drained, but I think it's because the film's whole concept is the flow of time being inverted that makes it watchable to rewind, replay, and rewatch. It just feels like a different, new way to see the same thing. Kind of like that 5 word puzzle the movie is heavily based on.

I understand it was hard for you to follow but it’s not the kind of movie you can sit and just casually enjoy, if you’re vividly paying attention to the scenes and asking yourselves questions like “wait why did he leave the other guy to run off after he took his mask” “why did he lie that he finished him off”, then later on I’m the film all your questions are answered and it makes sense. The story is played forward and it goes backward to show you what was happening in the background of the forward timeline. Near the end you have a mixture of forward and backward simultaneously and numerous times but it does make sense when you actually sit down to figure it out and it’ll become way more enjoyable when you do

Unfortunately, this is what happens in real life. The closest, most important person in your life can be right next to you, quietly help you here and there, without asking for anything in return. Just because you are important to them. But you don't notice it until it's too late. Only then do you realize how much they have done for you, and you dream of turning back time. Unlike life, the film provides such an opportunity. I wanted to re-watch the film not because of the concept and not because of the supposedly confusing plot, but because of Neal.

The fact that the protagonist's name in Tenet is Protagonist pretty much explains the emotional connection we're supposed to have with the characters.

@foglias 3 года назад

It's a hint for classic spy novels. A lot of them they had a nameless protagonist. It is also part of what Dozi 123 stated, it's a meta discourse on how the audience experience cinema, we're The Protagonist going to watch an story unfold (Cue the first shot is people gathered in a theater) and certain people (director, actors, etc) are in charge in taking the protagonist to learn, explore and take decision into knowing the reason for his mission. Time Inversion is technically a brand new concept in cinema, so it makes sense to have a central figure that's in the blind like us and that at the end he realizes his own roll in a whole operation. Sometimes it feels like a videogame.

@KoolKeithProductions 3 года назад

@Đozi 123 I've been looking everywhere for a clear and concise video essay of why this movie simply doesn't work, and I finally found it. Everyone else is sucking this movie's long slong just because Nolan directed it, but the truth is as pretty as it is, it's just devoid of any emotional connection at all. I just sat there for 2h30mins watching ppl go backwards and forwards and didn't know or even care why. When it was over I immediately watched Inception, Momento and The Prestige back-to-back-to-back just to get the nasty taste Tenet left out of my mouth. But of course ppl will say I was just too dumb to understand it, which is fine. Just remember that as complicated as Inception's concept was, it was still able to actually make you care about *why* Cobb was there, even if you didn't understand *what* he was actually doing. Tenet fails at this.
