In what is one of the most dizzying and confusing movies of 2020 (not that we have a lot to choose from), the grand scope and crazy amount of information inserted in Tenet is absolutely mind boggling. It will take countless rewatches to catch every easter egg, hidden plot point and callbacks with the movie being two and a half hours of sensory overload. Thankfully though, we at Screen Rant have inverted time to traverse through the giant sci-fi espionage thriller, peeking through the giant score and blockbuster spectacle to some of the things you may have missed the first time around.
In this video, we will take a look at some of these details- such as hidden easter eggs to other movies and franchises, secret plot details and themes you probably didn’t spot the first time and subtle hints that could change the entire narrative yet again. Prepare for your head to hurt yet again as you join the blue team and go back through the story of Tenet. And as always- SPOILERS AHEAD.
What was your craziest hidden detail or easter egg? Did you catch them all? Were there any we missed? Let us know in the comments below and make sure to subscribe to the channel for more Tenet content!

So this is where the time stone ended up
yyyy no.
:D
😂😂
Good one
Pls dont compare that bs endgame timetravel to this reality
In Tenet the Protagonist breaths through his nose. This is a subtle nod to Christopher Nolan's other films such as the Prestige and Memento where the main characters are also breathing through their nose. This is also an homage to the fact that they are humans.
Also an homage to the fact that you are manually breathing now.
@@nathwcx8299 wow thanks internet asshole
This. :)

ScreenRant videos in a nutshell (outside of Pitch meetings).
You forgot to talk about how the music is in reverse for the blue team. Christopher Nolan really does think of everything!
Woah.
I was on blue team, that was the hardest acting job I’ve ever seen, performing our scenes in reverse, tripping and falling on rocks and freezing in the morning on set, but then it was 100 in the afternoons
shame he don't think about the sound mixing
They missed a lot
@@stevewilson2734 why ?
- You're not pooping, you're catching the poop
- Woah
Best comment on the thread! Lol
😅 next time I'm on the bowl I'll be sweating bullets 🤣
oh god
Lmfao, gross
You monster😂
I feel like 80% of these do not count as "something missed" in tenet
Not even easter eggs
I'm glad you said that. This video felt hollow as an empty coconut
@@pieterpierrot1490 Screenrant in a nutshell (-Ryan George of course)
Yes
Mostly conjecture
That’s screen rant.
I don't get people's obsession with tying every Nolan movie into one cinematic universe. They're all fine with being independent from one another.
“esrevinu citamenic eno fo tou eivom naloN yreve gniytnu htiw noissesbo s’elpeop teg t’nod I”
!era ouy ereh tey
Its like one the one Hand they say "dang it there arent succesfull movies that arent in a cinematic universe anymore "
And on the ither hand
"Okay these unrelated movies have to be related somehow"
@@m.youtube.com-r - Well, the reason for that has to do with Nolan's use of time and science theory. Tenet could very well be set in the same universe as Inception and Interstellar given the technology, shadowy governments, and the disaster that Earth suffers. They don't have to be sequels, but they could all be part of the same universe, but at a different time. I don't think it cheapens all the films at all. Having there be a connection is actually pretty damn cool. It would be no different than the Marvel Universe where you have a bunch of individual films that are all connected by sharing the same universe. I hope Nolan would make a film where we see DiCaprio and Washington reprise their roles and do a Nolan film together that merges Inception and Tenet. That would be a very interesting film if that were to happen.
Thank you
Additionally this video is not about things that can be missed in tenet. It is about how maybe scenes from tenet can be related to other nolan films. Fine at all, but missleading title for me.
One small thing I noticed is in the scene when the protagonist fights himself. In both temporal directions he gets better at fighting himself as the fight goes on, because both times he begins by being taken by surprise. As the fight continues, he calms down and thinks clearer and learns how to fight himself better. So he technically wins the fight both times from the perspective that we watch him.
Damn. That’s a big-brain observation. Quite true as I now think of it.
why is he shooting the gun at himself tho? Because it already happened, so he has to?
@@charonme I watched in an explanation video that the inverted protagonist is not shooting on his past self rather he is emptying the gun so that his past self doesn't get hold of the gun and shoot him
@@charonme I think he's actually trying to empty the gun, not shoot at himself and it still works whether going forwards when he fires and then disassembles it; or backwards where the gun is reassembled and the bullets are caught back into the gun.
Yeah, it was noticeable how better he gets. Very cool.
I'm pretty sure the 'Wake up the Americans' line was a reference to the fact that they were asleep.
=)))))))
wha
LmaaOooooooo
lmfao
hahahah!
80% of the video: "Tenet was kind of like this other movie"
This
What movie?
Carchase in tenet: *exists*
Screen Rant: It’s a reference to every car chase ever
yet it looks more like Matrix car chase, than Batman or Inception ones.
Note: Movies from the same creator DON’T always have to be a shared universe. Way too many irrelevant connections between Nolan’s films in this video.
The protagonist doesn’t have a backstory, he has a forwardstory
forwardhistory
My favorite scene of the movie is the part where the guy in gas mask looks over to the protagonist and says. "Mhgnirmirns nfrmnnrgrmnds." Or something like that.
Hahahaha. Yeah. I got that 2. I fort wtf did he jst say.
Loved the movie but will watch it again as im a die hard Nolan fan and didn't fully understand the film lol 😁
Maybe you can find a cinema with closed captions on ? I watched Tenet in Denmark, there is always subtitles on so I don’t know what I read on the screen that you’ve missed. I have to watch it again.
lolz
Yea for sure one of my only complaints was that with the accents AND the masks, it was quite hard to understand him. It’s like with Bane in TDKR trailer where nobody could understand him, then they cleaned it up quite a bit for the actual movie
epod saw enecs
everyone: its a twilight world
Robert Pattinson: ...
🤣🤣🤣 I can't believe I didn't think of that one
Pattinson: This is why I have no friends at dusk
25 Things You Missed in Tenet - shows ALL of Christopher Nolan’s movies.
Footage from this movie is not legally available yet
@@vijayanand6650 Is that why the guy keeps on talking about Inception and The Prestige?
The plane crash scene happened my first night on set in Victorville. I was on my way back to the background tent with my first ever craft services meal and stopped to watch as the plane was crashing into the building. It was a great week.
Comment back once that moment has been topped.
Really😲😲
So it's not really a 'things you missed' but more constantly repeating that Nolan has a style that can be seen in all him movies (like with most 'auteur' directors).
Some of these are big stretches. What next, these two movies are alike because they characters in both movies drink water?
Screenrant: Write it down! Write it down!
I saw Tenet 3 times and didn't realize that Washington's character didn't have a name smh wow
He says his name
The Protagonist
His name is Mr. Goya 😉
What did you think his name was? Lol
@@Inuheishi I was so into the movie, I didn't think about his name. I guess I assumed it was John (his real name) lol
*woah
One of the things you might have missed: The two men talking about crashing a plane at the airport in a train full of people.
Covid may hurt box office sales, but this deserves to be one of Nolan's highest grossing films. It was a good film on its own, but it was also so complex it demands a second viewing. I can't wait to see it again this weekend. And if we were in PRE-COVID times, I'm sure the repeat viewings would be creating record sales
Um, the *Sator Square* that got glossed-over by the beginning of this video is *much more the core of the idea of the film...* Screen Rant didn't even mention that *those five words are also read VERTICALLY* - look for yourself:
*SATOR* - "sower, divine founder, progenitor"
*AREPO* - "an invented name, trying to imitate Egyptian"
*TENET* - "he holds, keeps, comprehends, possesses, masters, preserves, sustains"
*OPERA* - "work, care, aid, labor, service, effort, trouble"
*ROTAS* - "you (singular) turn or cause to rotate"
Those are the Latin *meanings* of the words, too - which tell you exactly what each serves as, in the film. I'm pretty sure that Nolan wrote TENET to be a *little* bit more than a stack of references to his other movies... and would appreciate if people took the time to learn those concepts, themselves.
The film does pay homage to the square, not more. If you google palindrome it will come up quite soon. Not a big feat. The possibility to read it vertically too isn't even relevant to the film, because there's only two "directions" the story takes. So the word Tenet is a much better representation of that.
Nice! Thank you.
I missed that john david Washington is the son of denzel
@Mladen Nikolic I see what you did there!
Or Maybe Denzel and his son are the same person! You never see them both in the same time!
I reallllly missed that SATOR was Kenneth Branagh ☹️ I almost choked when I saw the cast list
The Protagonist can't have back story - it is forward story he needs.
Fan of Nolan since 1999 and while watching TENET I never once thought, "WOW, this is really similar." Screen rant is really reaching with this.
The thought about sators child being neil makes sense because Maxamillien, take the last 4 letters of Maxamillien "lien" and invert it Neil. "Coincidence, i think not"
Only... that's not how you spell Maximilian... ;)
Agreed. Check the ending. It is spelled Lien
@@noneofyourbeeswax01 it’s spelt both ways, I know many Maximilien’s « en »
I already seen Tenet. The problem is that it was my future self. 😐
U should get way more likes this comment got me dead
Actually I think this is intended. You don't know the protagonist's name because the movie is inverted. So we already do know his name -- in the future. This is the third act of a three-act story.
Must have been damn hard to avoid spoilers
"The use of the word 'the' is a direct relationship to the previous movie's use of the word the too! mind blown! yes, the!" pffff whatev
Sir Michael literally spoiled the results of the
movie to Protag during the lunch convo. Also you see the ambulance at the beginning of the airplane crash scene which is actually inverted
Wow. Didnt even understand Sir Michael when he was talking to JDW. Missed heaps of convos esp through the masks.
Am I the only one that saw zero enemies defending the pincer assault on the bunker
No you weren't.
Not zero. But only two I remember. The guy in the tower with the RPG and Sator's right hand man inside the hole. Other than that, no idea.
Anyone else realised that Neil orders a vodka tonic when he first meets the protagonist? Could be a hint about his father. Also he is super nervous because he knows how important that meeting is
Notice the ending of TENET where the music actually reverses when they invert themselves. Especially noticed during the massive fight scene. Also used throughout the entire movie as well.
I swear I must be the only one that didn’t have trouble hearing the dialogue at all
No cap
I didnt either
Same for me
same lol
Cinemas have subtitles so I didn’t miss a thing.
Nolan : hold my beer
Me : there are no good time travel movies
Comment Underrated
Primer > tenet
Christopher Nolan: Amateur!
Stephen Hawking: *writes inivitation for time travel party*
Title says "25 things", it feels like only 3.
When Nolan cuts to the final shot of the countdown timer in the final pincer movement sequence, he cuts in at 0:07 seconds left. A throw back to "Goldfinger" where Bond stops the clock at 0:07, true James Bond timing!
Excellent observation!
What if he going to direct next bond movie 🙄 he just gave an easter egg.
I wish Nolan would direct a Bond film starring Henry Cavill.
Tenet made me realise Pattinson might actually make an awesome 007
I realized that no part of this movie is set in the USA and I appreciate that, since that's where action movies happenmost of the time
Have you seen the Mission Impossible movies?
@@shananderson9339 I think I saw the first one many years ago 😅
Isn't it a trait of a spy movie (and Tenet is a 100% spy movie)? Not only MI, but many Bond movies etc. are set in exotic countires. I wouldn't call Estonia exotic, but seing it on a big sreen for the first time.
His mission transcends national interest.
Um, no they aren't. Bond, Mission Impossible, Taken, etc
Understanding TENET is super easy, barely an inconvenience
I know exactly what you did there!
An then he did a backflip, broke the bad guys neck and saved the day
Are you on NZT????
Understanding movies is Tight!
Well okay then!
Both of the son theories are definitely "we need to get the list to 25" notes
There are maybe 10 real things missed in this clip
The son’s name is Max, or short for Maximilien, which in reverse is Neilimixam. Or Neil for short 🤷🏻♂️
Something Neil said when they reversed to save Kat made me think he was Max from the future.
One thing i noticed that puts me off is that the when the first gunfire happens in the Opera, the ladies in the orchestra were laughing with their heads down instead of being terrified!
Nolan’s research team need more credit.
You meant his writers.
Nope. I meant His research team.
@@miket2913 not the ones researching the science. I mean they have no need to explain the science, why even try lol
Theory: Kat's son Maximilien is actually Neil. We know that The Protagonist brings in Neil later on in the future, then he goes back in time to the events of the movie, so it's reasonable that he could be the age of a child during the events of the movie. Also Maximilien in reverse is NEILimixam
Woah! You’re on to something there
BRO u cracked the code
i don't think he can be, because if he were to invert and travel back to the time the movie takes place he would become a little boy again surely? if your inverted you and your body travel backwards in time, not just your perception of it, that's why you get hurt before it actually happens.
Yh I’ve seen this all around the internet pretty good theory
@@euanwells6968 finally someone gets it
You know what I think? I think this movie is supposed to be watched multiple times to really get it. I've watched this three times now and it is one of the best films I've ever seen because I'm finally able to grasp it all. Also if you were to play this movie backwards that would be even more mind-blowing because it would flow so well and there's even dialogue in this movie going backwards that would go forwards if you were to play it backwards. Absolutely insane movie!
if you have to watch a movie many times to understand it, it only means the movie is flawed. In case of Inception, you can rewatch it many times, enjoying every single rewatch, but in case of Tenet there is pleasure as the movie is boring and confusing, and the idea of inversed time is over-complicated and poorly implemented.
Max is short for Maximilien.
Max - i'm'i - lieN
Neil - i'm'i - xaM
Max = Neil
It's a palindrome. Like the movie.
Pretty sure this is where the FBI meme comes in handy
little known fact Maximilian is how it's spelt but i guess it works
Courtney COOKE but it's still cool to think neil is max
@Courtney COOKE Maximilien can be spelled this way. Like Maximilien Robespierre.
I don't think you know what a palindrome is
One thing that reminds me of inception while watching was when Kat was thinking about her husband on the boat in Vietnam and when she breaks the glass. Reminds me when Cobb think about Mel. The nostalgy in there eyes and the feeling of those scenes
I support the Max is Neil theory. A British guy, with blond hair, who knows a lot about time inversion ( so he is probably from the future) and he was traveling in reverse during the opera mission (hence the reversed Bullet). And he has a long relationship with the protagonist. And the entire mission was a temporal pincer set up by the protagonist. So someone should have travelled the entire mission backward and then gone forward and that travel backward will start in the protagonist’s future. so all the more possible, Neil is from the future, than the past.
Jeez. Major Prestige spoilers there
Nolan films always have the most hidden details
It was such a good movie with that complex Time bending theory.
You clearly don't really watch sci-fi movies. There are so much better and enjoyable movies and tv series related to time travel.
My biggest obstacle with accepting the “Neil is max” theory was that Neil would have to spend a decade inverted to get from “Neil who has a relationship with the protagonist” to 10 year old max. I thought Nolan wouldn’t have one of his characters spend a decade inverted and then I thought of Cobb and saito in limbo, romilly in interstellar spending decades in space, or Fallon hiding his identity for years in the prestige.
You missed the Protagonist doing often "pull-up"s, which is also a palindrome and the only one type of exercise we are seeing him doing.
after watching it again, I've noticed he did some push-ups too, but only once and very little
Brillliant! Also you can do pull-up's in forward or reverse time, and they will look the same
Your spoiler warning should have extended beyond this movie.
A lot of these "missed items" are nothing more than theories reaching a bit too far for connections to other movies.
Finally, what's with the audio oscillating low to high throughout this video?
Bad video.
“There’s a scene with a plane? It’s a direct reference to Top Gun, cause they also have planes”
Everyone talks about the bad sound mixing but I saw the movie in IMAX and I could hear every word. that sound system was banging.
i hate to be the “you just don’t understand it” guy but trust me. This movie is incredible, especially on a 2nd viewing when you can pick up on more of the little details
Yep me too - saw it twice and it really helped.
saw it three times - just gets better!!
Who.... who are you telling? Who doesn't understand it?
The narrator himself missed the fact that its carbon dioxide masks coz going backwards in time you will be breathing in reverse....that means breathing CO2
The mask is reversed too, they bring their own reversed oxygen
This is where the son theories end for me, because if your entropy gets reversed you aging would too, so when people invert to go back in time, they will un-age, in the same way the protagonist un-heals his stab wound. Following this logic you can't exist outside of your own natural lifespan, which is why I think Sator has gone evil, because he's gone mad in the same way bill murray does in groundhog day.
25 things you missed in tenet: 16 mins talking about every other Nolan's movie.
I loved the film instantly and have seen it a total of 3 times knowing multiple viewings is what's needed for Nolan's films but, this all solidifies this film as a masterpiece.
Heres what screen rant missed. Neil is MaximiLIEN spelt backwards, since Neil was living this movie invertedly, it's only common sense to also invert his name from the back and shorten it just as Max has been shortened. P.S it's French and their way of spelling Maximilian is Maximilien.
Loved the movie! The concept of inversed time was very clever. Looking forward to a rewatch to better understand some of it.
Why is nobody talking about the girl wearing the yellow coat and the back pack 0:59
It would be insane if it was a reference to "DARK" 😳
Damn! I really didn't notice didn't this much. Good one Screen Rant!
Half of these points are just "here's somthing that could be a reference to another Nolan movie", that joker thing it outright ridiculous.
Producers : What's happening in Tenet
Christopher Nolan : It's evolving! Just backwards
Seems the video is more interested to talk about Inception, Momento and other Nolan movies.
But we get it, nobody actually understood TENET.
We get it 😁
All I can take from this and similar videos is that Nolan is just simply brilliant
Now, I haven’t seen all the Christopher Nolan films, but so far this one is my favourite
Here’s the thing about the “Max is Neil” theory is it’s the only that makes sense 1. Is that Nolan himself hinted he could not even be Neil and 2. How does Neil know the EXACT day of Vietnam where sator and Kat were???
The Protagonist told him in the future
Don't forget the blonde hair of Niel and Max
Meh I don't buy that theory too much. Neil doesn't look like somebody's mother got shot and almost dies in his hands.
Ur1z13l maybe he’s uncertain of whether she’s gonna die or not he doesn’t know cause of the grandfather paradox
@@spinorules11 @Ur1z13l In one other explanation video for Tenet, they said Max is short for MAXimilien which when reversed forms NEILimixam, this is a convincing proof that Neil is son of Kat.
I had to look up the plot synopsis after
When he go from one country to other so fast he goes
What I dont get is that branna died at the end when the woman jumps into the water but in the normal timeline he continued to live? But I'm guessing that it was brannah 2 that died and normal timeline brannah was somewhere else so didn't die.
TENET and Inception is one of my favorite movies of all time
Idk how u could follow what was going on lol. I had to read a Wikipedia plot synopsis and even then i found it a bit too convoluted. Like the protagonist starting tenet and meeting robert patterson in the future. What does that add lmao. And there was little emotional investment. Oh and why why why did they have half their team inverted for retrieving the algorithm. To me this film was everything bad with nolan to 11. Too much dialogue/explaining and convolution
@@Z-Mikes00 I was the same. I felt so detached and I couldn't really care about who died
@@Z-Mikes00 i feel really sorry for you, that you cant appreciate the work of the worlds best director
SkiLLAGEx94 Ya As tough as it is for some people to grasp, there is certain aspects of the film that need multiple watches or a bit of research to Dissect, it doesnt hold your hand and that’s perfectly fine if you choose not to enjoy it
@@Z-Mikes00 half the team was introverted to tell the other half what was going on
Mate, I missed more than 25 things. One day I'll actually hear the dialogue
Another easter egg: During the first Freeport scene the tour guide tells Neil that before the halide gas is released, displacing all the air in the facility, the freeport staff gets a TEN second warning to which Neil responds: "Well, at least you give them ten seconds." Ten again an important number just as the ten minutes in the end and TEN in TENET.
Ten, you say?
3:53 what an insane visual. I know Leonard DiCaprio was basically an insert character in inception but this is ridiculous. In all honesty I now need Nolan to star in his next film.
biggest easter egg: people traveling backward all learned how to speak in reverse.
They Were Speaking Reverse For Us But Not For Them Because they were inverted the world was not!!So they were inverted for us but we were inverted for them!!
11:09
If u r a Dark fan, u know what I'm talking about
See the girl with yellow jacket n cycle behind them
OoooooooOoooo
Introduction at last part was really great
Memento was released in 2000. Tenet was released in 2020. If they meet in the middle(2010), 10 years have passed for each film (Ten-->TENET). What movie was released in 2010?? INCEPTION. Head proceeds to explode
It's crazy that the start of the movie actually the ending
I still don't get that part lol
Or what could have been.
H. Jams The start of the movie at the opera house takes place on the exact same day as the final battle of the movie. The Protagonist goes forward in time from the start of the movie (opera house) and then goes backwards in time to help save the world on the final mission
25 things i missed -- First one "this one you probably got"
I think the heavy use of base is a leitmotif and is a reference to sators puls going up in action scenes
“Sensory overload from start to finish” for sure 🤯😂!
This video is almost only talking about other movies instead of Tenet.
"Spoiler alert."
"I'd like to see you try."
Great job Screen Ratnt!!!!!
I'm glad that I am waiting until before I watch the movie to see all the spoilers.
Character says something that is good in the context
Screenrant "that has to be a reference
I wonder if they showed everything in reverse and them becoming young..
It was outstanding i mean how did you study these details !!!!!
The opening scene is phenomenal. Honestly the whole thing is great
Nolan is to cinema what TOOL is to music, an M.C Escher operating in a Andy warhol world.
Ian Flanagan this. Is. YES.
@@louisbrantmeyer8786 But if YES had wrote what I said it would sound even deeper and mystical.
2 Bonds? Nah. More like the protagonist is Felix Leiter and Neil is Bond
Bofatutube The Protagonist is the Protagonist. Neil was hired by the Protagonist so he ain’t Bond he’s Neil recruited by the Protagonist.
The BGM of TENET is so glorious
☺️♥️
Here in Dublin Ireland the cinemas have been closed since March (except for 2 weeks in August) but then we went back into lockdown. Now the entire Cineworld franchise has shutdown until May 2021.
I soooooooo wanna see this movie in IMAX.
Wait, only 25?
I know we might need to make a part 2..
@@ScreenRant: In this one, you spoiled more films than just Tenet. Could you avoid doing that in the future, or at least warn in the beginning of the video which films you are gonna spoil? Thanks!
I loved the movie, albeit was confused. Mostly I couldn’t hear what the characters were saying.
It was an active choice by Nolan. He likes to lean into criticisms of past movies. In this instance there had been complaints about Tom Hardy's Bane being difficult to understand in The Dark Knight Rises, so he did that even more for this movie.
3:40 awwwww look at how happy Nolan is practicing the scene with John
loved the back talk
