Even though the mechanics are deterministic, the characters still consciously make choices that lead to consequences in the film. Tenet doesn't get enough credit for it's concepts.
Every time you make a TENET video I always want to watch it again right away! Once theaters open you already know this will be the 1st movie I go see! xD Thanks for the content! Great stuff
I don’t think free will exists. But we certainly have the illusion of free will, which I’m ok with. Just because free will as we traditionally imagine it doesn’t exist doesn’t mean we’re not accountable for our actions. It’s not an excuse to do nothing.
Well that doesn’t make sense at all. If a killer was always predestined to be a killer and has no free will then it’s very cruel to put him in a prison for something he essentially was just unlucky to be, a killer. Because without free will all that really matters in our lives is just luck, which means the prison system punishes the unlucky and society rewards the lucky. No free will = no accountability
People seem to get upset when faced with the possibility of no free will. Saying in order for Tenet to say you can't Change anything you dont have it and it's pointless. But I disagree. I think Free will still exists and it is the very Act of free choices that shape what is unchangeable to begin with.
This is wrong. The movie never implied the past or future can be changed and in fact nothing the characters do change what was going to happen or had already happened. The movie accepts that there is no freedom from what the events are and characters do; it's message is that of what Nietzsche called amor fati: love of fate. Its a philosophy of accepting and embracing what fate delivers despite how negative it can be.
