I'm sorry but the fact that this needs to exist for you (/ all of us) to appreciate is in itself proof Tenet is actually rated exactly as it should be. It is up to Nolan to convey that to us and he failed. It is too inaccessible to be a good film. Sure after multiple viewings and UA-cam videos i am now there and can appreciate that, that doesn't take away from the first viewing / trip to the cinema where my friends and I all left feeling like we'd been robbed and nobody knew what was going on and as a result, more importantly, none of us cared.
@@shreked6800 I would agree with you if these videos were leaked by Nolan himself to let the audience understand his film. Instead they have been prepared by people who simply watched the film many times. So somehow Nolan conveyed the concepts. I understand your point though, but I am perfectly fine to not understand a film the first time I watch it. It was still very enjoyable and somehow more intense in this way. It has then surprised me, in further investigation, how well the mixed time directions were designed.
@@shreked6800 Maybe Nolan wanted to convey the mind boggling complexity of inversion? The fact that you have to watch the movie multiple times and think about it mirrors the inversion process. Characters had to witness events in two ways to understand everything as does the audience. It just so happens that the world is complex and sometimes needs more than a minute of thought to understand fully. I also was lost during my first viewing but I loved the movie and have seen it 5x now. The second time cleared up all the confusion. Maybe as a physicist I am use to being confused most of the time by everything new but this movie warrants some intense brainwaves.
So, mostly related: I have the script for Inception, including a diagram that Nolan drew on the back of the scrip (you can even see the fold lines from scanning it) to explain to the cast members the layers of dreams. I'm willing to bet he made a similar diagram of the Temporal Pincer at least for the cast, if not all of the inversion-heavy sequences.
@@D4NKN4 i guess it happened after the ending scene where niel say good bye to the TP, he decide to enter the reverse world again to open that doòr, but im not sure, too confusing 😂
@@muhammadshofwan5309 You're correct. After saying goodbye to the Protagonist, Neil inverts. You see a shot of Neil running backwards up the cave in the movie. That's Neil after he has inverted. He enters the open door, sees the fight between Volkov and TP but backwards, prepares to lock the door, and then stands in the way of Volkov's pistol when he sees him firing a shot. More than likely his body is eventually overtaken by the dominating entrophy and fades away.
That building assembling itself just before blowing up again in both time directions is madness. It is only ever a whole, unbroken building for a brief moment
There's a lot going on with that thing. At the end of the day, it's the rule of Cool. :) I think I can safely say I have Never seen that in a movie before,..lol.
Wait, if the building isn't inverted, how can it have a backwards explosion? I figure it can have a forwards explosion or a backwards explosion but not both.
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill Definitely rule of cool. Because if the building was a ruin extending into both the past and future how was the thing ever constructed? It had to have been constructed by reversed explosions only, which is insanely unlikely... unless the "winds of entropy" are blowing with equal intensity in both directions at that particular point in spacetime.
@@senojelyk Exactly. I was wondering the same thing. It is a crazy concept. I also don't get it why both team blue and team red kind of shoot the building around the same time? And why does it happen exactly in the middle of both their timelines (minute 5)? Coincidence that this happens at 5 minutes? Plan? If so, why was that the plan (except cool looking effect)? Are they boh trying a distraction?
Neil during this scene has 4 duplicates. One at the opera house, one at the tunnel, one performing the mission (he’s also duplicated in the briefing) and one FORWARD version performing the extract. He celebrates knowing that his death saved his superior and the world. It’s a sad and emotional but happy moment x
He's also going forward earlier in his life as a child as well. And maybe even a 6th time as an adult going backwards to meet the protagonist for the first time.
Actually there's essentially just one but he's moving throughout different timelines there's technically no duplicates they're all one in the same but it turns down machines what they do makes it appear as if there's a double but from the person who invites himself would be able to see his future self but not be able to see his past self. So essentially if you're from the future you cannot see yourself in the past if you're from the past you can see yourself from the future. No with me or being at the Opera siege he's already moving forward in time at the same paces the protagonist at that point this is the wrong same track I mean there's one needle one protagonist and they're moving forward in time to the point where they do all the stuff they need to do in order to get back in time to essentially save the world is always just one even though it seems like there's two that's the whole point of the multiple realities bringing brought up because if you think about it the consciousness could not tell the difference between your past or present or future. . In the present moment is rare consciousness is currently residing and if you see your future self essentially that is another reality, cuz for example the airport scene in the beginning the protagonist that it was a bad guy he had no clue it was him from the future even when they were going back to Oslo he still had no idea until he got blown into the Freeport that's when he realized oh crap that was me but it still had to play out the way it did because it already happened so essentially it's like a winding road it may seem like there's more than one but essentially it's just one
Trying to understand what's going on with the inverted people while watching the film can be a huge mindfuck, but it's really impressive how the whole thing was thought out in a logical way by the filmmakers. I think this movie deserves praise just for its ambition and tackling such a complex premise.
Unfortunately this movie is a huge 🟡 in the traffic lights. Not the premise but the execution was sublime, whereas the plot was extremely poor as 'good guy stops bad one'.
I could probably understand it . . . if I sat down and replayed segments of the scene over and over again with a notepad to take notes, but I just didn’t feel like going through so much effort just to understand a movie. The uploader clearly did, so we can be glad for that (and his amazing animation and editing skills).
@@davidc4946 Just because I didn’t doesn’t mean I couldn’t, and there’s no incentive to prove myself either, since it’s just a movie. I guarantee any moderately intelligent person could figure out the scenes with enough repetition, attention, and critical thought. What’s happening anyway is rather simple if you break each component down separately. It’s only when you look at everything happening simultaneously when things get overwhelming and complicated.
When Welby got there and started chatting, a guy on a skateboard not looking where he's going knocks into them, leaving a wierd coin on the ground with a hole in it ;)
@@Davesoft and then Nolan said "eyy...look..who we got here, wanna play some challenging act?" The skate boarder answer "i've played a witch, a vampire, and a bat, nothing challange me anymore" Nolan simply whisper: "how abot running backward?"
The pincer movement is at the heart of military strategy. Flanking is only one example of it. This video is an awesome explanation of just how a military mind would try to maximise the advantage provided by inversion. The quote 'temporal pincer' is a priceless line: its accuracy, its brevity, and it is an exposition for the viewer, all in two words.
Im wondering how did he actually TELL the crew what he wants. If he just simply say "trust me, just do what I say" its even more crazy. The cinematography is beyond our level.
I think in the interview he did with Geoff Keighley, Chris Nolan mentioned having someone assist in the mapping of how these scenes worked, they had a similar 3D diagram that they could interact with in real-time and coordinate how they would film the scenes.
Christopher Nolan: being a fucking mindmaster, thinking that everybody would clearly understand his film with vivid understanding of the plot. Every single human while watching tenet: *confused unga bunga*
@@pjcinema5600 I think that's more of a psychological trick. It makes us want to re-watch the movie to understand and it when you finally understand a part of it, you feel satisfied that YOU solved a piece of puzzle.
@@pjcinema5600 that's why I watched THREE times in two days to get it: first one, enjoying without any understanding. The second, catching all and the end but no Stalks-12. Finally, geting it all and enjoyed as never before -or after?
People are calling it the greatest thing of all time lmfao. You can’t hear a damn thing the characters are saying(first time I needed subtitles to even know what the fuck people were saying) and it’s so confusing that the Nolan fans boys will just do his job and fill the holes for him and actually explain how this shit works
You almost need to spend an hour meditating on the concept of backwards and forwards time existing in the same space to truly prepare yourself to watch and understand the movie.
Like I feel like I get the concept but seeing it played out is making it hard. Too many moving parts makes my head spin. And honestly I’m thinking it’s 80% Niel’s fault. Dude inverts so many times I can’t keep track
@Sabinka47 Running backwards doesn't make you move backwards in time😂😂 You're still moving forward in time😂😂 What a stupid suggestion. You clearly did not understand the movie.
@Sabinka47 lmao dumbass They moved backwards because from original timeline they are moving towards beginning of inverse pincer Regular timeline moved from a to z, inverse moved from z to a
Holy crap this is amazing, the fact that you have understood the film very accurately and *manages to make a 3 dimensional visualization video about it is definitely a big deal.* Mega thumbs up to you, you're amazing, without your videos I'll find it harder to get a correct visualization of what's happening! And also imagine if these videos are included in the BluRay extras for example! Would be amazing!
@@ChristopherNolanOfficial yes we should watch on blue ray since we can’t watch in imax anymore. tenet is a fantastic and amazing movie to watch and experience! Love it so much!
I still have a hell of a time wrapping my head around this. Usually, Im really good with Time Travel, Im really good at piecing everything together chronologically in my head but this movie? Fuck, it makes my head hurt. With Time Travel, you're still seeing things happen in linear time just at different points in time, with Tenet its seeing things happen in linear time and reverse linear time simultaneously. Its such a fucking bonkers concept. I both love it and hate it lol
Inverted Neil and Neil_2 arrived in the same helicopters, but is not clear how Neil_2 entered the tunnel to open the gate, since from his prospective is already blocked by the rocks.
neil again inverted himself after securing the algorithm and giving to the protagonist.. he(neil2) went in the tunnel and approaches to the gate which from his perspective is already opened and volkov, tp and ives are inside it.. tp and ives comes out of the gate and neil2 closes the gate and takes the bullet in the head from volkov and dies
@@panicpoint2070 when Neil reinvert the tunnel should be blocked and he has no way getting in unless he inverts to before tp get into the tunnel which was not the case.
"he(neil2) went in the tunnel". Nope that's the point: The original question is about how can he even get in the tunnel, since from Blue (Neil_2) time flow perspective, the tunnel entrance has been in a collapsed state (Blue's 6:30). So I agree with Amumu's theory above -- Neil_2 has cleared the rocks at, say Blue's 20:00, where(when) there are no more enemies, then survived the explosion at 10:00, and finally sacrificed himself at 9:00
Neil enters the battle as inverted, see the trap set up, reverts to go warn them, it doesn’t work so then he uses his hummer to pull them out of the hole but the after they got the bomb out of the hole neil goes back and inverts himself and going backwards and picking the lock so TP and Ives can get through and the. Neil gets shot. That’s why neil says it’s the end of a beautiful friendship because he saw himself dead by the door and knows that he has to go back and invert and pick the lock
I watched the Tenet Blu Ray behind the scenes recently and their visual effects team did similar Pre-viz for scenes to help everyone understand lol. Keep up the great work Welby! These are really helpful. Even if you can sorta understand it conceptionally, seeing it in a 3D environment helps bring it all together.
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill exactly, i already understood everything before, but this birds eye view is really what helps compartmentalize things in my brain and seeing it visually makes it much easier to understand and put things into a clear perspective for me.
Oh man now I understand the building explosion, it was blown up not once, but twice! It was blown up in both directions of time. That's such a head bender to try to animate
I have watched this movie 3 times. I have read and watched over 15 plot summaries and went through it scene by scene on UA-cam multiple times. After watching this video, I finally can fully grasp what happens in the movie. Great movie btw
I agree that, i thought i got most of the film, but this last battle always seemed..random? ..to see now that the red team is covering the blue teams escape and the blue team is covering the red teams end of mission in the other direction of time was OH wow, ok i get it now lol
After seeing Neil go into the turnstile at the end (in chronological order from the Blue team's POV) and never come out, reinforces that he died in the tunnel. I'm not crying, you're crying.
No that's how the turnstiles work, if you look at them from just one direction of time you will see two of Neil disappear, if you look at it from the other direction 2 of him appear out of nowhere, only when you consider both perspectives at the same time you can see him entering and exiting
When he leaves at the end of the movie he has to go invert himself later and go back to the battle and take the bullet for the protagonist. That’s who the second blue copy of Neil is in this video
It is really not his writing. It is the storyboarding that took forever. Also, the unsung heroes of TENET are the editors, who did a wonderful job of editing the movie to make it 'easy' for audiences. It is about as much they could do with the rather confusing material they had.
For people that are confused about how un-inverted Neil got into the area behind the door, it reverse explodes in inverted time so that he can access it (Neil is inverted the explosion is not). It's all confirmed to him that he has to be in the area where the box is going to be dropped since 1.) he sees himself heading towards the same area on the battlefield and figures out where he's going 2.) he knows he's the only person on the team with the lock picking skills to be able to unlock the door (when he comes back to life he doesn't experience this inverted) and finally 3.) he knows what he has to do because of the future Protagonist's briefing of the mission. He's also aware that he has to die so that Volkov doesn't suspect the door has been locked (not that Volkov would understand what he's doing) (so that it's unlocked for the Non-inverted Protagonist and no I don't know how Neil got in without Volkov hearing him) and then the Protagonist finishes the mission after getting pulled out by Non-inverted Neil, and Neil's final task begins. So then, all of this is finally orchestrated by the Protagonist who has all the information for what should happen next from his experiences and blue team's briefings, and that's the start of Tenet 2 which is the final part of the Sator Square, The End.
I assume you mean inverted Neil, not un-inverted Neil? i.e. the one who got shot? Your theory is wrong. In the movie, we clearly see Ives watching inverted Neil arrive (or leave, from Ives's perspective). This implies that he arrives AFTER the tripwire bomb was triggered. The only way it works with Ives watching him arrive, is if some other TENET soldiers removed the rocks after TP and Ives went deeper into the tunnel. Since TP and Ives are travelling forward in time, and the instant they enter the tunnel the path is blocked, and Neil is travelling back in time, any point in time from Neil's perspective after the rocks reverse explode, is way too late to open the door and save TP. Imagine Neil enters the tunnel as SOON as possible after the rocks reverse explode. What does he experience if he waits there, even for an hour? Nothing, because everything relevant to the tunnel now happens in the future, and Neil is still travelling backwards through time. He just sees an empty tunnel. The only other solution is that Neil excavates the rocks after the mission, and then hides in the tunnel (and survives the big explosion).
Notice in the beginning how the red team(going forward in time) is going CLOCKWISE around the turnstile while blue team (going backwards in time) is going COUNTER-CLOCKWISE around the turnstile An amazing detail I doubt many watchers catched
Nice catch. Also, the red and blue team colors correspond to the redshift and blueshift phenomenon in physics. Objects are redshifted when they are moving away from us (forward) and blueshifted when moving towards us (backward).
It's amazing how much effort you put into this. Understanding the movie is itself quite a feat, and then you went ahead and created a detailed 3D simulation of it.
Welby making sure to include the way Nolan uses sound design and music to help us understand the shifts between forward and backward moving time- the sound bytes from moments of the film are so perfectly integrated I feel like without them I wouldn’t understand it at all! Amazing work.
Omg finally found someone else that said this!! I thought that was just genius.. it's what helped me understand the movie and realize who was going forward and who was going backward
Love that as well! Nolan knows sound design and music to the audience to clue them in! Love tenet as it’s masterclass in planing and sci-fi action movies!
@@ilhamburger8288 if Max is Neil, he is both dead and alive at the end of the movie. Also, another (past) version of him is alive at the opening opera scene on this day, saving TP’s live once again (for the first time chronologically) by shooting a possible assailant on the SWAT team with inverted bullet. So ya, that would be interesting and I don’t think anybody’s done a video yet fully explaining/showing all the different Neils that exist at once on this day.
@@ilhamburger8288 He is dead, duh! Well, kinda... Lemme explain... Although at the end of the movie he is alive, and at the furthest point in time, he is alive too (the turnstile scene where Kat is shot is the furthest we go in time in case you did not catch it. Neil is alive at that point in time) But, yes, Neil is shot in the head with an inverted bullet and he dies.
Incredible work. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to make this. I can't even imagine having such an idea for a movie and trying to pitch, film, and edit it. To delegate tasks and direct scenes that people barely understood knowing that it would look properly once edited is just insane. I bet once a take was shot, people on set had no idea if it was what Nolan envisioned. I wonder what it was like for the actors to film scenes and hoping that it all came together in editing. A masterpiece of cinematography by the best in the business.
Wow ok so, lol, I THOUGHT I had a pretty good grasp of the movie and the mechanics, but there was always something that bothered me, this "random armed battle" at the end of the film, it felt so, out of nowhere, like what exactly was going operation wise..and THIS video, has finally made me realize that the red team is covering the blue teams escape AND vice versa, the blue team is in turn covering the red teams escape in the other direction of time,..i just..WOw they just did not make that clear enough i find lol it makes the whole thing make much more sense now so THANK you for these 3d videos, bravo!
Man you're doing God's work. This is so easy to understand. I understood the idea of the final battle but which team started the mission first really left me thinking for weeks. Only now did I know that blue team was inverted 10 minutes from the future and they simultaneously helped each other at the same time just appeared reversed to the other. I wanna know what Nolan smokes
It's crazy how this, the most confusing sequence in the film has a simpler explanation than the inverted fight, which I thought understood a lot easier while watching the movie. Even my understanding seems to be going backwards.
LOL dude I COMPLETELY agree, i thought i had a good grasp on everything..but this ending battle sequence always seemed a bit random..and the airport scene always seemed simpler..you watch these 3d vids and its like OHHHH ok i see now, the red team is helping the blue team escape and vice versa, the blue team is helping the red team escape in the other direction of time, so THAT makes more sense now, and then watching the 3d vid of the airport was like OH ok i didnt get it at ALL lmao
@@laowu8024 I don't really think it's useless tho. The temporal pincer movement is an example of that. Imagine sending soldiers to a war, and then having those same soldiers come back from the war to brief another group of soldiers. You can kinda "predict" the entire thing once you send an inverted team.
Ayyyyeeee I was waiting for this. Once again, exceptional job! You and Movie Metrics have the best animation explanations of Tenet on UA-cam by far, but he comes in a close second. You’re the OG for sure IMO.
I really love to watch your animations because we see the scenes as it is described in the movie, with both normal/inverted people acting at the same time, like the TPvsITP scene. For the most part, the movie shows different perspectives to allow us to understand each one perspective, but then, sometimes this makes hard for us to get this linear view.
Truthfully, only by watching this channel across the last three weeks have I enjoyed TeneT in retrospect. I feel like this channel has inverted me! Seriously Welby, great work, love the channel. You should make animations for other time travel movies...... Primer anyone?
So the Neil which had reverted and was driving the hummer, at the site where TP and Ives emerged after the fighter scene he then re-inverted (hence Neil2)
Dude,...when I first watched this movie I didn't even know 'who' they were shooting at. It looked like a silly game of Laser Tag where they are pretending to fight the invisible monsters. lol. But after multiple viewings I started noticing the bad guys everywhere.
Don’t agree that it’s “complex for its own sake”, massive no right there. It being so complex and tricky to figure out is what makes it so amazing and fun to break it all down as it’s all like a puzzle box to figure out is the fun for the audience to figure out what’s what! It’s great stuff as the movie Tenet is amazing and great film for action sci-fi films!
I've read many comments on how they hate how Nolan put this way to the point that it is hard for the viewers to understand. I just think that those people don't get the art of nolan. And the art of films such as this with such depth and thought given. Movies like these are underrated and are absolute gold mine because it is not just a film that you just watch and casually store in your mind. It is a movie wherein you use your mind to interact with the different events and try to piece things up together and in the end admire the entire masterpiece. I do agree that it is not a movie for everyone. But definitely it is a movie for those who likes to analyze and think. It's almost like a game or a puzzle provided to those people who knows how to appreciate and are willing to understand until you arrive at the real conclusion and meaning. Nolan did not failed to convey, it is you who failed to understand the art. It is exactly how he wanted it to be, and how we that connects wanted it to be. Or atleast to us who appreciate this kind of genre.
Shrek ed it’s not THAT complex. It’s confusing that they planned to both shoot at the same building at exactly 5 minutes in to mark the temporal pincer? What did you want to see them plan?
@@theguywhoeditsthings7350 well how did they know to do that? Who initially came up with the plan as only Ives knew they needed a distraction but it’s the blue team that are suppose to be the ones to debrief the red team and he is red!? So when and how and why / who knew and thought we need to synchronise to shoot the building?
@@shreked6800 They both basically debriefed each other. The Red team (including Ives) get informed on everything that will happen throughout the battle by the blue team who were inverted and have already been through the battle. Meanwhile once the Red team has been through the battle they tell the blue team, before they invert themselves, what's gonna happen in the battle. So both teams already know exactly what's going to happen before they battle starts, including that they are gonna blow that building up "twice" at the five minute mark. It's really not THAT complicated IMO. Just a simple time loop like in the rest of the movie (like for example the Tallinn scene).
Wow, awesome. Now it all makes perfect sense! Sarcasm aside, this is a beautiful rendering that looks like it took a lot of meticulous work. Thank you. It's airing on HBO and I'm watching it for the 2nd time tonight (and up to 3 more times by next week (or last)).
@@jens2376 before the fight begins when they tell the red team what to expect I assume they use 2 different teams rather than the same team going both ways to prevent them interacting with themselves and avoid complications ie blue team casualties
It's fair to say that Tenet and Inception could be in the same "universe". Nolan could make a movie that would merge the three and we would be in awe... one more time. Like Cobb steal the "entropy plan" or something. The more I watch the movie the more I realize Neil is MVP and he seems to have the sum of every Cobb's team members' skillset.
I’m glad this movie exists because it’s amazing and outstanding! Love the movie tenet as it’s a great inventive work towards sci-fi action movies like it!
This is genius! I loved this movie - it was unfortunately released at the wrong time and hardly anyone saw it. When we saw it in the theaters, we were only two of six. People were still afraid to go out then. :(
Thanks for this video! Been following your video since the 1st one, awesome job bro! Tenet is definitely the only movie I've ever watched that got me confused and understand, and then got me confused again, at the same time. Hahaha
I personally like tenet . But many don’t and I see why. For example the characters aren’t really explored. There’s really not much character to them. And also I wish there was more to the battle scene. Like seeing close ups of the enemy . Or fighting hand to hand combat with them.
If one did not understand it but thought he or she understood it, he or she would come out the theater thinking that the movie was a dumb, loud action movie. That's why many people dislike this film. Once I accepted that I did not understand TENET, I started appreciating it a lot more. It is the truth: WE ARE STUPID AND WE DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT!!!
0:35 Can’t find the comment that refers to this paradox but after racking my brain the only way this event makes sense is if that soldier they kill is not inverted but rather just using an inverted AT4. If the soldier was inverted from his perspective he dies before he fires a rocket. If Ives had killed the soldier, before the inverted rocket un-hits the cover they are behind, then that’s the only way it would’ve made sense for the soldier to be inverted. I’ll use Neil as an example TP’s POV: Neil un-dies, unlocks the door and runs out Neil’s POV: Neil runs in, locks the door and dies In this case with the AT4 what we see is this Ives POV: Take cover, reverse explosion and rocket flies into rifle, Team shoots rocket at building killing target Target POV (If target is inverted): Target un-dies, Shoots rocket at the Ives team before they start running backwards towards the helicopter and then himself leaves (after already being dead). It doesn’t make any sense However if the Target in the building was travelling in the same direction of time as Ives then the only way it makes sense is Target POV: Target runs into building with an inverted AT4, invert shoots a rocket at the cover based on instinct hoping to catch Ives’ team in the explosion, then dies to Ives’ team

Neil during this scene has 4 duplicates. One at the opera house, one at the tunnel, one performing the mission (he’s also duplicated in the briefing) and one FORWARD version performing the extract. He celebrates knowing that his death saved his superior and the world. It’s a sad and emotional but happy moment x
4 copies? Sounds like an Investment banker's dream
He's also going forward earlier in his life as a child as well. And maybe even a 6th time as an adult going backwards to meet the protagonist for the first time.
Actually there's essentially just one but he's moving throughout different timelines there's technically no duplicates they're all one in the same but it turns down machines what they do makes it appear as if there's a double but from the person who invites himself would be able to see his future self but not be able to see his past self. So essentially if you're from the future you cannot see yourself in the past if you're from the past you can see yourself from the future. No with me or being at the Opera siege he's already moving forward in time at the same paces the protagonist at that point this is the wrong same track I mean there's one needle one protagonist and they're moving forward in time to the point where they do all the stuff they need to do in order to get back in time to essentially save the world is always just one even though it seems like there's two that's the whole point of the multiple realities bringing brought up because if you think about it the consciousness could not tell the difference between your past or present or future. . In the present moment is rare consciousness is currently residing and if you see your future self essentially that is another reality, cuz for example the airport scene in the beginning the protagonist that it was a bad guy he had no clue it was him from the future even when they were going back to Oslo he still had no idea until he got blown into the Freeport that's when he realized oh crap that was me but it still had to play out the way it did because it already happened so essentially it's like a winding road it may seem like there's more than one but essentially it's just one

Trying to understand what's going on with the inverted people while watching the film can be a huge mindfuck, but it's really impressive how the whole thing was thought out in a logical way by the filmmakers. I think this movie deserves praise just for its ambition and tackling such a complex premise.

We all can count on Welby to breakdown every complex scene that is beyond the average man's comprehension.

I could probably understand it . . . if I sat down and replayed segments of the scene over and over again with a notepad to take notes, but I just didn’t feel like going through so much effort just to understand a movie. The uploader clearly did, so we can be glad for that (and his amazing animation and editing skills).

What’s happening anyway is rather simple if you break each component down separately. It’s only when you look at everything happening simultaneously when things get overwhelming and complicated.

How will he return to present?
The pincer movement is at the heart of military strategy. Flanking is only one example of it. This video is an awesome explanation of just how a military mind would try to maximise the advantage provided by inversion. The quote 'temporal pincer' is a priceless line: its accuracy, its brevity, and it is an exposition for the viewer, all in two words.
Props to Neil.. He knew he was gonnna be shot but still continued.. What a friend..

I still wonder how did d director make such a battle scene having both backward and forward time lines
Im wondering how did he actually TELL the crew what he wants. If he just simply say "trust me, just do what I say" its even more crazy. The cinematography is beyond our level.
I think in the interview he did with Geoff Keighley, Chris Nolan mentioned having someone assist in the mapping of how these scenes worked, they had a similar 3D diagram that they could interact with in real-time and coordinate how they would film the scenes.
duh, it's nolan
rumor has it the screenplay for tent took 4 years!
Because he is Batman's director.😂😂😂

You almost need to spend an hour meditating on the concept of backwards and forwards time existing in the same space to truly prepare yourself to watch and understand the movie.
Like I feel like I get the concept but seeing it played out is making it hard. Too many moving parts makes my head spin. And honestly I’m thinking it’s 80% Niel’s fault. Dude inverts so many times I can’t keep track
@Sabinka47 Running backwards doesn't make you move backwards in time😂😂 You're still moving forward in time😂😂
What a stupid suggestion. You clearly did not understand the movie.
@Sabinka47 lmao dumbass
They moved backwards because from original timeline they are moving towards beginning of inverse pincer
Regular timeline moved from a to z, inverse moved from z to a
@@BonzerMrT The whole movie is a bootstrap paradox while having a linear time which conplicates things
Interesting that you used the word "meditating" would u care to elaborate why u used that word ?
I wonder how Nolan feels about UA-cam Tenet breakdowns and explanations having been watched MANY more times than the movie itself...
Holy crap this is amazing, the fact that you have understood the film very accurately and *manages to make a 3 dimensional visualization video about it is definitely a big deal.* Mega thumbs up to you, you're amazing, without your videos I'll find it harder to get a correct visualization of what's happening!
And also imagine if these videos are included in the BluRay extras for example! Would be amazing!
BluRay extras no, watch Tenet on IMAX.
@@ChristopherNolanOfficial yes we should watch on blue ray since we can’t watch in imax anymore. tenet is a fantastic and amazing movie to watch and experience! Love it so much!

@@Gadget-Walkmen yes
I still have a hell of a time wrapping my head around this. Usually, Im really good with Time Travel, Im really good at piecing everything together chronologically in my head but this movie? Fuck, it makes my head hurt.

Its such a fucking bonkers concept. I both love it and hate it lol
Inverted Neil and Neil_2 arrived in the same helicopters, but is not clear how Neil_2 entered the tunnel to open the gate, since from his prospective is already blocked by the rocks.
neil again inverted himself after securing the algorithm and giving to the protagonist.. he(neil2) went in the tunnel and approaches to the gate which from his perspective is already opened and volkov, tp and ives are inside it.. tp and ives comes out of the gate and neil2 closes the gate and takes the bullet in the head from volkov and dies
NEIL
@@panicpoint2070 when Neil reinvert the tunnel should be blocked and he has no way getting in unless he inverts to before tp get into the tunnel which was not the case.
"he(neil2) went in the tunnel". Nope that's the point: The original question is about how can he even get in the tunnel, since from Blue (Neil_2) time flow perspective, the tunnel entrance has been in a collapsed state (Blue's 6:30). So I agree with Amumu's theory above -- Neil_2 has cleared the rocks at, say Blue's 20:00, where(when) there are no more enemies, then survived the explosion at 10:00, and finally sacrificed himself at 9:00
Neil enters the battle as inverted, see the trap set up, reverts to go warn them, it doesn’t work so then he uses his hummer to pull them out of the hole but the after they got the bomb out of the hole neil goes back and inverts himself and going backwards and picking the lock so TP and Ives can get through and the. Neil gets shot. That’s why neil says it’s the end of a beautiful friendship because he saw himself dead by the door and knows that he has to go back and invert and pick the lock
I watched the Tenet Blu Ray behind the scenes recently and their visual effects team did similar Pre-viz for scenes to help everyone understand lol. Keep up the great work Welby! These are really helpful. Even if you can sorta understand it conceptionally, seeing it in a 3D environment helps bring it all together.
thanks! I love the birds-eye continuous camera visualization. Really helps keep things in order for my brain. Reinforces the notion of 'block time".
@@WelbyCoffeeSpill exactly, i already understood everything before, but this birds eye view is really what helps compartmentalize things in my brain and seeing it visually makes it much easier to understand and put things into a clear perspective for me.
Christopher Nolan: how did this guy get our drawing boards
I never said that.
@@ChristopherNolanOfficial Hellou Nolan
That "Blue Team briefs Red Team" ending was veryy satisfying lol
Oh man now I understand the building explosion, it was blown up not once, but twice! It was blown up in both directions of time. That's such a head bender to try to animate
Here's a real head fuck: when was it built?
I have watched this movie 3 times. I have read and watched over 15 plot summaries and went through it scene by scene on UA-cam multiple times. After watching this video, I finally can fully grasp what happens in the movie. Great movie btw
I agree that, i thought i got most of the film, but this last battle always seemed..random? ..to see now that the red team is covering the blue teams escape and the blue team is covering the red teams end of mission in the other direction of time was OH wow, ok i get it now lol
After seeing Neil go into the turnstile at the end (in chronological order from the Blue team's POV) and never come out, reinforces that he died in the tunnel. I'm not crying, you're crying.
No that's how the turnstiles work, if you look at them from just one direction of time you will see two of Neil disappear, if you look at it from the other direction 2 of him appear out of nowhere, only when you consider both perspectives at the same time you can see him entering and exiting
He comes out Red
When he leaves at the end of the movie he has to go invert himself later and go back to the battle and take the bullet for the protagonist. That’s who the second blue copy of Neil is in this video
@@loganastrup6870 Thank you for explaining that... I totally missed it!
@@loganastrup6870 I’m still confused after watching this… how does the Neil that gets shot get into the tunnel if old mate destroyed the entrance
Nolan's writing is out of the world. The way the entire film was structured and also the way the movie was shot leaves me awe struck!!!
It is really not his writing. It is the storyboarding that took forever. Also, the unsung heroes of TENET are the editors, who did a wonderful job of editing the movie to make it 'easy' for audiences. It is about as much they could do with the rather confusing material they had.
@@indian_coaster_enthusiast I hope the editor gets a nod at Oscars. Brilliant work from her
@@taruns9476 Agreed
Let's take a moment to appreciate the efforts of the editor 👏
For people that are confused about how un-inverted Neil got into the area behind the door, it reverse explodes in inverted time so that he can access it (Neil is inverted the explosion is not). It's all confirmed to him that he has to be in the area where the box is going to be dropped since 1.) he sees himself heading towards the same area on the battlefield and figures out where he's going 2.) he knows he's the only person on the team with the lock picking skills to be able to unlock the door (when he comes back to life he doesn't experience this inverted) and finally 3.) he knows what he has to do because of the future Protagonist's briefing of the mission. He's also aware that he has to die so that Volkov doesn't suspect the door has been locked (not that Volkov would understand what he's doing) (so that it's unlocked for the Non-inverted Protagonist and no I don't know how Neil got in without Volkov hearing him) and then the Protagonist finishes the mission after getting pulled out by Non-inverted Neil, and Neil's final task begins. So then, all of this is finally orchestrated by the Protagonist who has all the information for what should happen next from his experiences and blue team's briefings, and that's the start of Tenet 2 which is the final part of the Sator Square, The End.
I assume you mean inverted Neil, not un-inverted Neil? i.e. the one who got shot?
Your theory is wrong. In the movie, we clearly see Ives watching inverted Neil arrive (or leave, from Ives's perspective). This implies that he arrives AFTER the tripwire bomb was triggered. The only way it works with Ives watching him arrive, is if some other TENET soldiers removed the rocks after TP and Ives went deeper into the tunnel.
Since TP and Ives are travelling forward in time, and the instant they enter the tunnel the path is blocked, and Neil is travelling back in time, any point in time from Neil's perspective after the rocks reverse explode, is way too late to open the door and save TP. Imagine Neil enters the tunnel as SOON as possible after the rocks reverse explode. What does he experience if he waits there, even for an hour? Nothing, because everything relevant to the tunnel now happens in the future, and Neil is still travelling backwards through time. He just sees an empty tunnel.
The only other solution is that Neil excavates the rocks after the mission, and then hides in the tunnel (and survives the big explosion).
😍
@@buzz092 I don't know anymore, and I'm not gonna think about all of this again maybe some other time
The movie gets more and more fascinating the more you watch and try to understand it. It's a master piece
Notice in the beginning how the red team(going forward in time) is going CLOCKWISE around the turnstile while blue team (going backwards in time) is going COUNTER-CLOCKWISE around the turnstile
An amazing detail I doubt many watchers catched
Wow, that’s actually clever
Nice catch. Also, the red and blue team colors correspond to the redshift and blueshift phenomenon in physics. Objects are redshifted when they are moving away from us (forward) and blueshifted when moving towards us (backward).
Lol, it'd be funny if you brought it up to Nolan and he'd be like uhh , y.. yes, YES exactly! 🤣
It's amazing how much effort you put into this. Understanding the movie is itself quite a feat, and then you went ahead and created a detailed 3D simulation of it.
Believe me, laying all this out in a 'bird's eye' view simultaneously was just as enlightening for me, discovering how it played out.
Waiting for this for like a month
Worth the wait though!
Thanks
I love how Nolan always trusts his audience to solve his puzzles with multiple rewatches. All he does is give us all the pieces.
Welby making sure to include the way Nolan uses sound design and music to help us understand the shifts between forward and backward moving time- the sound bytes from moments of the film are so perfectly integrated I feel like without them I wouldn’t understand it at all! Amazing work.
Omg finally found someone else that said this!! I thought that was just genius.. it's what helped me understand the movie and realize who was going forward and who was going backward

So ya, that would be interesting and I don’t think anybody’s done a video yet fully explaining/showing all the different Neils that exist at once on this day.
@@ilhamburger8288 He is dead, duh! Well, kinda...
Lemme explain...
Although at the end of the movie he is alive, and at the furthest point in time, he is alive too (the turnstile scene where Kat is shot is the furthest we go in time in case you did not catch it. Neil is alive at that point in time)
But, yes, Neil is shot in the head with an inverted bullet and he dies.
Yeah, I really need to know where Neil_2 comes from. It's the last bit that doesn't make sense to me.
This is absolutely phenomenal. Your dedication to making these TENET animations is astounding.

Incredible work. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to make this.
I can't even imagine having such an idea for a movie and trying to pitch, film, and edit it. To delegate tasks and direct scenes that people barely understood knowing that it would look properly once edited is just insane.
I bet once a take was shot, people on set had no idea if it was what Nolan envisioned. I wonder what it was like for the actors to film scenes and hoping that it all came together in editing.
A masterpiece of cinematography by the best in the business.
Great work mixing the audio, certain moments are alot clearer, like Neil seeing his inverted self heading backward to the turnstile
Wow ok so, lol, I THOUGHT I had a pretty good grasp of the movie and the mechanics, but there was always something that bothered me, this "random armed battle" at the end of the film, it felt so, out of nowhere, like what exactly was going operation wise..and THIS video, has finally made me realize that the red team is covering the blue teams escape AND vice versa, the blue team is in turn covering the red teams escape in the other direction of time,..i just..WOw they just did not make that clear enough i find lol it makes the whole thing make much more sense now so THANK you for these 3d videos, bravo!

Man you're doing God's work. This is so easy to understand. I understood the idea of the final battle but which team started the mission first really left me thinking for weeks. Only now did I know that blue team was inverted 10 minutes from the future and they simultaneously helped each other at the same time just appeared reversed to the other. I wanna know what Nolan smokes
shoutout to the clean and concice animation.. makes the whole fight SO much more undrstandable
It's crazy how this, the most confusing sequence in the film has a simpler explanation than the inverted fight, which I thought understood a lot easier while watching the movie. Even my understanding seems to be going backwards.
LOL dude I COMPLETELY agree, i thought i had a good grasp on everything..but this ending battle sequence always seemed a bit random..and the airport scene always seemed simpler..you watch these 3d vids and its like OHHHH ok i see now, the red team is helping the blue team escape and vice versa, the blue team is helping the red team escape in the other direction of time, so THAT makes more sense now, and then watching the 3d vid of the airport was like OH ok i didnt get it at ALL lmao

Tenet is the most original and complex film I have ever seen.
you know a movie is good when you need a 3d breakdown to explain the most pivotal part of the story
I really love to watch your animations because we see the scenes as it is described in the movie, with both normal/inverted people acting at the same time, like the TPvsITP scene. For the most part, the movie shows different perspectives to allow us to understand each one perspective, but then, sometimes this makes hard for us to get this linear view.
Truthfully, only by watching this channel across the last three weeks have I enjoyed TeneT in retrospect. I feel like this channel has inverted me! Seriously Welby, great work, love the channel. You should make animations for other time travel movies...... Primer anyone?

Don’t agree that it’s “complex for its own sake”, massive no right there. It being so complex and tricky to figure out is what makes it so amazing and fun to break it all down as it’s all like a puzzle box to figure out is the fun for the audience to figure out what’s what! It’s great stuff as the movie Tenet is amazing and great film for action sci-fi films!
Only took three cinema visits to figure this out... Barely. Totally worth every minute! The third time you are there to take it in and enjoy
I've read many comments on how they hate how Nolan put this way to the point that it is hard for the viewers to understand.
I just think that those people don't get the art of nolan. And the art of films such as this with such depth and thought given.
Movies like these are underrated and are absolute gold mine because it is not just a film that you just watch and casually store in your mind.
It is a movie wherein you use your mind to interact with the different events and try to piece things up together and in the end admire the entire masterpiece.
I do agree that it is not a movie for everyone. But definitely it is a movie for those who likes to analyze and think.
It's almost like a game or a puzzle provided to those people who knows how to appreciate and are willing to understand until you arrive at the real conclusion and meaning.
Nolan did not failed to convey, it is you who failed to understand the art.
It is exactly how he wanted it to be, and how we that connects wanted it to be. Or atleast to us who appreciate this kind of genre.
Many thanks to this channel who have been creating these 3D videos
now i finally understand what happened with the building that exploded twice
Ye, why oh why did Nolan not put in a scene showing us how they planned this!? So annoying the amount he leaves out, really ruins the experience
Shrek ed it’s not THAT complex. It’s confusing that they planned to both shoot at the same building at exactly 5 minutes in to mark the temporal pincer? What did you want to see them plan?
@@theguywhoeditsthings7350 well how did they know to do that? Who initially came up with the plan as only Ives knew they needed a distraction but it’s the blue team that are suppose to be the ones to debrief the red team and he is red!? So when and how and why / who knew and thought we need to synchronise to shoot the building?
@@shreked6800 They both basically debriefed each other. The Red team (including Ives) get informed on everything that will happen throughout the battle by the blue team who were inverted and have already been through the battle. Meanwhile once the Red team has been through the battle they tell the blue team, before they invert themselves, what's gonna happen in the battle. So both teams already know exactly what's going to happen before they battle starts, including that they are gonna blow that building up "twice" at the five minute mark. It's really not THAT complicated IMO. Just a simple time loop like in the rest of the movie (like for example the Tallinn scene).
Wow, awesome. Now it all makes perfect sense! Sarcasm aside, this is a beautiful rendering that looks like it took a lot of meticulous work. Thank you. It's airing on HBO and I'm watching it for the 2nd time tonight (and up to 3 more times by next week (or last)).

It is easy to understand, they go backwards.
@@ChristopherNolanOfficial but when does the blue team starts reverting?
@@jens2376 before the fight begins when they tell the red team what to expect I assume they use 2 different teams rather than the same team going both ways to prevent them interacting with themselves and avoid complications ie blue team casualties
God this and the Freeport scene is so complex but so amazing to watch
It's fair to say that Tenet and Inception could be in the same "universe". Nolan could make a movie that would merge the three and we would be in awe... one more time. Like Cobb steal the "entropy plan" or something.
The more I watch the movie the more I realize Neil is MVP and he seems to have the sum of every Cobb's team members' skillset.
some people just dont understand how fun it is to try to breakdown the movie in the much detail
Imagine how confusing and complex it would have been to explain the script of each scene to the actors and crew
I’m glad this movie exists because it’s amazing and outstanding! Love the movie tenet as it’s a great inventive work towards sci-fi action movies like it!
This is genius! I loved this movie - it was unfortunately released at the wrong time and hardly anyone saw it. When we saw it in the theaters, we were only two of six. People were still afraid to go out then. :(

What a great video! One of the best on YT for sure mate :)
A heart breaking moment when the red Neil get inside the turnstile machine and did not come back because he stucked in dead loop
Did that actually happen or is it just a mistake in the 3D model?
He came back as inverted (blue) Neil. But he moved backwards in time so you didnt see him.

I personally like tenet . But many don’t and I see why. For example the characters aren’t really explored. There’s really not much character to them. And also I wish there was more to the battle scene. Like seeing close ups of the enemy . Or fighting hand to hand combat with them.
If one did not understand it but thought he or she understood it, he or she would come out the theater thinking that the movie was a dumb, loud action movie.
That's why many people dislike this film.
Once I accepted that I did not understand TENET, I started appreciating it a lot more.
It is the truth: WE ARE STUPID AND WE DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT!!!
True i like it too. But the problem with this final scene, i thought they were fighting with some invinsible ghost
This video is absolutely amazing. Great work!
I'm watching at 0.25x and still it's hard to understand🤣
TENET is really a masterpiece movie, that I have ever watched for atleast 4-5 times😂
0:35
Can’t find the comment that refers to this paradox but after racking my brain the only way this event makes sense is if that soldier they kill is not inverted but rather just using an inverted AT4.
If the soldier was inverted from his perspective he dies before he fires a rocket. If Ives had killed the soldier, before the inverted rocket un-hits the cover they are behind, then that’s the only way it would’ve made sense for the soldier to be inverted.
I’ll use Neil as an example
TP’s POV: Neil un-dies, unlocks the door and runs out
Neil’s POV: Neil runs in, locks the door and dies
In this case with the AT4 what we see is this
Ives POV: Take cover, reverse explosion and rocket flies into rifle, Team shoots rocket at building killing target
Target POV (If target is inverted): Target un-dies, Shoots rocket at the Ives team before they start running backwards towards the helicopter and then himself leaves (after already being dead).
It doesn’t make any sense
However if the Target in the building was travelling in the same direction of time as Ives then the only way it makes sense is
Target POV: Target runs into building with an inverted AT4, invert shoots a rocket at the cover based on instinct hoping to catch Ives’ team in the explosion, then dies to Ives’ team
Thx again Welby
By far the best visualized demonstration of the battle I have ever seen
