Was about to say the same thing. Only video so far to really put some thought into it and address some of the more complex issues, like the wall and bullets.
If you like TENET you would enjoy the film "Primer". The amazing thing about Primer is it was made for $7,000. Oh, and yes, there are websites that attempts to fully explain Primer.
Sators death is crucial bc his death sends out the location through email, which gets read by the future. it instantaneously destroy the past, but the temporal pincer at the end tricks the future for the location of the algorithm.
I have watch almost all of the Tenet videos being Uploaded to UA-cam and yours are definitely the best. Awesome job keep up the good work, I love you. I have also never understood entropy until the explanation in your video.
@@TeaBreakFilmReviews Here is an idea. The glass obviously wouldn't have been put there if it had formed bullet holes when it was first made, now would it? Even if there were strict orders to the manufacturer to disregard anything odd like this, paradoxing the timeline would still be waaay too easy. Member how inverted protagonist is starting to feel pain, then starts bleeding shortly before the incident? A normal wound would have been noticed earlier, at least several days, it's forming at an apparently accelerated rate. The bullet holes & remains starts "forming" shortly before the incident, this is where time inversion is lost (much like an ice cube losing its heat and this is why the scientist has those green glows when handling inverted objects) to the point it goes from negative to positive. Then they disappear during it as we see. Later however, non-reverted bullet holes & remains starts re-appearing in the glass, with the back of the bullet-appearing first and glass cracks last. Assuming the holes starts forming 11 minutes before the shot for example, it would then apparently start apparently re-forming 11 minutes after the shot and from the bullet hole perspective, it would be everything else jumping 22 minutes forward. It would also necessary for the plot, the machines to invert time would have had to, from the normal perspective, to "appear" seemingly out of nowhere to begin with some unseen machine specialized for just that purpose, as they do not seem to be capable to do that on their own.
did any of those videos explain why the protagonist tries to shoot himself in the head? Or is there no reason whatsoever other than the supposedly cool fighting scene?
@@Yarblocosifilitico While struggling for control of the gun the future inverted protagonist misses on purpose to empty the gun of bullets so that non-inverted protagonist would not be able to shoot him
you smart girl, you have answered my questions. better than some stupid rambling videos out there. can you analyze the final battle scene? it seems i cannot follow what is going on for that 10 min-battle.
Hi Lois, I am glad I have answered your questions. In terms of in depth analyses of particular scenes, I won't be able to do those until the film comes out on dvd as I need to have the footage to be able to break down the shots in order to give the best explanation of what is happening. In the meantime, I will have a short explanation of how the Temporal Pincer Movement works in my timeline video, coming very soon!
10:25 I think the answer here is in what the woman explains a few moments later, when they’re pushing the bullet around on the table. She says to him “you have to have dropped it” - but she had to say that, because “dropping”the bullet is less intuitive than “pulling the trigger”. She told him to aim at the wall and pull the trigger - but the bullet hits the wall *after* he pulls the trigger, so in reversed entropy, the bullet comes out of the wall *before* he pulls the trigger. He fired the bullet, just like he dropped it. Loving this video, so far, tho - the points about bodily functions hadn’t occurred to me, among other things. Your language over the issues is what allowed me to explain this the way I understood it from the film 💙💙💙
Actually, I think Sator decided to die by suicide and his heart monitor is a dead man's switch to trigger the explosion of the buried assembled algorithm he instructed his henchman to bury at his abandoned hometown. he chose this time because it was the final moment he remembers being at peace with Kat and possibly have his whole family with him. It is "bad-guy-ness" but it is his way of going out (and taking the world with him) at a time of his choosing (i.e. playing God).
11:03 - you're absolutely right. This is not logical inside the movie's logic. It just is a "chamber presentation" of the driving plot. It couldn't be done in another way. When people listens to the dialogues from the last 10 minutes of the movie and the first 10 minutes of the movie, it all "connects". Genius scripting.
thank you a lot , you made clear how inverted people traveled without oxigene and without was seen inverted by normal people (and they will see them inverted too at same time)
Well done, a calm well paced analysis of the concepts behind Tenet, without pretending to know it all and without glossing over points that are really hard to explain. By far the best I’ve seen so far.
Thank you.. Best explanation I’ve seen!! One clarification regarding Kat’s multiple occurrences in the climax. As u said even if they are in the same timeline, they both have to co exist together and live up to the future. They can’t change the past. So the same will repeat in the timeline right. She will get shot again and she will need to inverse and move to the past. And cycle continues
thank you sooo much!! I already watched Tenet 5 times and I couldnt understand it 100% . I saw the timeline video and this one and I will go to watch Tenet for the last time knowing that now I will fully understand it!! thank you thank you thank you! I recomended this video to all my friends! :=)
So, I'm here in a state that isn't yet allowed to have open theaters, so I've utilized a different means for viewing this film, I simply couldn't wait for whenever restrictions are lifted here. I mention that because the quality in which I viewed the film is definitely wanting, but I was still able to gather the bulk of what transpired in the film but I know there's some important things I surely missed. Alright, so that was a long setup for hopefully excusing this question/commentary coming off as dimwitted. But I was super puzzled as to how Kat went back in time to the boat with her husband. Did she simply time travel or was she on the boat inverted? And if she was on the boat inverted, why didn't she, and her husband have on oxygen masks?
Hi Christopher, thank you for watching. It is a complicated film so all questions are welcome! Kat, Neil, The Protagonist and Ives inverted time to the point of the Vietnam vacation on the boat. We don't get shown this but they must have gone back to normal time once they reached the correct day, therefore they didn't need oxygen masks. Sator did the same thing but we were also not shown.
@@nachundnach The dialog sound was good except in places where it was intentionally made bad to keep you safe from spoilers. On the second viewing everything made sense and I was just enjoying the loud music and explosions.
Great break down! Some stuff : 1. There was some talking about "Entropy decay" effect on reversed objects. So and object makes some damage it will not stay for ever going back in time. For example if a reversed bullet leaves a hole in the wall that hole should stay there till the time that wall/building was build.. But in the movie it disappears in a few minutes. So with the same hole example, if someone moving in the past forward in time he/she will see the hole slowly forming (Entropy decay in revers) and then after some time the hole is "un damaged" with the reversed shot un fired.. Now this is sort of proven with the hole in the Opera and the Oslo scenes. But falls short with first wall in the shooting range, because the holes been there (assumingely) for a long time.. But this is a nice explanation that solves some small stuff.. for example the actual worker that did that part of the wall would have to "build" that hole with his/hers own hands, which is kinda weird. 2. Im not sure the part of 3 instances at 4:21 is correct (maybe I failed to understand something). If 1 goes into the machine there will be 2 instances of him/her in the time prior to the second entering the machine.. A split of a second after entering, there will none.. So for a side observer, the one entered the machine disappeared completely after entering.. Now if instance 2 will reverse him/her self again and go forward in time, going pass the time original instance entered the machine then, there will be 3 instances up to the second the first instance went in, after that there will be only 1.. Not sure im right on that one.. All and all, one of the best movies I saw.. So much brain food.. Even with its some logic holes.. | Thanks for the vid , looking forward for the actual movie, spoilers one :)
I think some kind of handoff is implied. They’re bit reflections of the same turnstile, from what I can tell, but the interior shots indicate that no one is walking from one side to the other either.
Although Tenet is one of my favorite movies, I've never been able to exclaim these many "Ahaa!"'s before! Thank you for this video, it was very comprehensive! New sub, well earned, even if no other of your videos were as good as this one. A quick look suggests I'll have binging material for a few weeks.
there's also an idea called a light cone, where an event occurs in a particular place in space and time, and how since it can be seen by those ahead of it physically and behind it physically, it is both recognized by what we perceive to be the future and the past. It has a place in time and space from both directions, and is thus affecting both the past and the future if that makes sense.
I think your video is amazing, extremely simple to understand and you explain things well. my theory on how an inverted body functions. you know the whole 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food thing. well, I believe that the longer you spend inverted time, the harder it is for your body to function. you cannot function without air (well you could for a few minutes maybe) but your inverted body can handle itself for a few days without intervention. essentially there is an upper limit as your body starts to literally live itself to death as intestines pull nutrients from your blood and your liver begins to place toxins into the body. then my theory is this can be slowed down using medical equipment (to clean the body) and inverted food and water that your body can absorb normally. basically, you would be living like someone who has organs who cannot properly function. (i don't know the medical terms)
I had the same question about the wall and came to the same conclusion. Wall was shot up by an inverted gun fight, was then retrieved along with the bullet casings and guns, and used for experiments.
I love thinking, as well as thinking about thinking. I love visual thinking even more as well as visually thinking about visual thinking, So Nolan is great, and your video was very helpful to think, loved the ending too 🙏😁
Probably the best explanation out there. I still think they should have gone with a simpler plot that we can easily follow so we can have time to digest the whole time inversion thing
My brain hurts. I admire your dedication in making this video. I told myself I need to rewatch the movie before watching this. Now I need to rewatch this video a few times.
I also think the movie is actually linked to other movies, or at least is a clear ode. Releasing TENET TEN years after Inception (20TEN). Great video, and stunned that your channel has below 10k viewers.
I think the protagonist told Neil in the past that Kat had to stay alive for the mission to be successful, another reason he was keeping tabs on her after the mission was completed.
Woah!! This makes so much sense now. I'll be watching the movie again from a whole new perspective. Michelle, you are a genius. Keep up the good work. ✌🏼
Check out Carter Butler's recent comment, it will help you will better understand. And Nolan is genius for even diving into these concepts head on and making them work so effectively within the framework of cinema. I'd suggest not taking cheap shots at a legendary director with a tremendous body of work just because you perceived an issue with some logic.
I‘m a bit late, but I want to address two points you made: 1) Regarding the supposed plot hole with the protagonist (un)shooting the gun: I don’t think it’s a plot hole. The gun was inverted as it is. In the gun’s inverted timeline, nobody has fired it until it gets to the protagonist. The protagonist then fires the inverted gun, the bullet hits the wall and travels backwards through time from there. The only difference to later occurrences was that the protagonist himself was not inverted. So to him it looked like he was un-shooting the gun. 2) Regarding the algorithm: This is actually where I see a potential plot hole. Because if the entropy of the universe is reverted completely, then people should actually grow younger, etc. Yet the future seems to think that they’ll continue to exist as normal, growing old and dying, but moving backwards in time. But then it wouldn’t really be this reset, the universe wouldn’t change, it would only be a large scale inversion and future humanity would exist simultaneously with past humanity, not extinguishing it.
to answer the inverted object question: We see multiple times that seeing an inverted person, they appear to me moving, doing, and talking backwards, whereas from their perspective, they are moving forward through a reversed world. So if a bullet is inverted, would it not be travelling forward through a reversed world (from it's perspective), but we view it as moving backwards into the gun? It's just a forward and reversing of events already happened. That's why we see the protagonist pull bullets from the glass in one direction, then shoot the bullets through the glass in the other direction. It's just you're only ever privy to one direction of things.
great video! very well explained! i only have one constructive thing to add: at the beginning you talk about why inverted people need their own oxygen in order to survive. and you mentioned the liver and that it decomposes toxins in our body and you are not sure how an inverted person would be effected . i think that inverted people would need inverted food and water as well, like air, in order to be able to survive longer periods of inversion. bc i am almost certain that not inverted food will not be processable by the body of an inverted person. its not only the liver - basically the whole digestive act will not function with food that goes into the other direction of time. it's simply cause and effect. eating is cause and digesting is the effect. if the food you eat is reversed compared to your time - it simply won't be digestible. besides of the problem that for an inverted person - no one will be able to cook you a meal, bc finished meals would go back into the oven from a inverted persons view if you know what i mean. to think it further - if you would want to survive inversion for a very long time - you would basically need your own inverted kitchen, bc cooking in a normal kitchen with normal food would also not be possible for you :-D
For the test fire of the inverted bullet in the wall scene it doesn't matter if you are inverted or not. When you pull a trigger your finger starts forward of the trigger then is pulled reward. Once pulled back and the gun fires the slide operates, you release the trigger and it the trigger resets. If you played this action in reverse it would look the exact same as it would forward. Similar concept for a newton cradle and watching that in reverse.
Way late to the party but saw the movie, thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to offer a possibile explanation for the bullet wall situation you discuss at 11:38 - Due to the prevalent theme of bleedthrough, interplay, and potential, I feel the best justification/scenaro for the bullets in the wall is one that doesn't rely on a concrete link to one cause one effect, but instead suggests one effect but many possible causes. The bullets in the wall, whether placed there in the distant future by firing into the wall or placed there by the scientist 5 minutes before The Protagonist arrives by firing them into the wall, are suspended and can be "retrieved" by a compatible event. Another component of the gun, bullets, wall, situation; all of these items and the ones catalogued serve as evidence of the future because they are from the future, not just normal timeflow objects that can interact with the future. As such, they are measurably contaminated with reverse radiation. I think it stands that items brought back from the future can be operated or manipulated in normal timeflow, but the items can interact with compatible future events; as if the future is reaching back to make the connection. This is demonstrated when The Protagonist and Scientist are rolling the bullets back and forth; playing with pushing, pulling, dropping, and undropping them. This also applies to the side mirror at the beginning of the highway chase scene when The Protagonist and Neil are getting ready; the mirror suddenly appears broken and is minutes away from meeting one of many possible causes for it. Additionally, in reference to the first turnstyle scene where the unknown man exits in reverse and seems to unload an entire clip toward the protagonist in reverse after reassembling a gun. I argue that at any point it would be possible to disarm or remove the gun and the gun/bullets would not be drawn to eachother because the gun cannot fire/unfire itself. The only way for them to interact would be to pose a situation where its possible to have the potential of both objects reversed. Its a little scattered, but I feel like this makes sense without causing any devastating plot holes...hell it might even fix others on the basis of "one effect but many possible causes".
I consciously wanted to avoid videos by self-proclaimed instructors to Tenet and/or "enlightened Nolan fans"; In watching your video, I succeeded: You did anything but this. Very good work; You went out of your way to even explain points that would have worked out fine even left unexplained. And you explained even those in a coherent way -anything left unexplained was simply because it has no explanation (and, in showing that, you were simply proving the "holes", which weren't really any holes, since Tent is still a movie and not a physics paper, as you were very wise to imply). The only point I diverge in my understanding is on "the future's plan", because I thought this was kind of plausibly hypotheticised by the characters: I didn't think that plan was to hit the "reset button", but to hit the button that would (as the film says) "make the inverted direction of time the dominant one", so that future generations themselves go on living inverted on a different direction of time (the inverted having been made the dominant one). Again awesome work, your video deserves even more views! Thank you.
good point about the future's plan. As i understood it, the future is some sort of post-apocaliptic wasteland and the protagonists are only ensuring that that outcome happens. So... yay?
i wanna clarify Neil's LAST inversion (which isnt shown in the movie). 1. so he inverts himself. 2. goes THROUGH the tunnel... which was already blocked??? how? 3. reached them at the center but Ives and the protagonist are already BEYOND the door. 4. Neil unlocks it and sees them BACKING OUT of the place..back into the tunnel since they are inverted in neil's perspective. 5. locks himself back inside ... ??? 6. then catches the inverted bullet (in his perspective) through his head. is that how it happens? that part's the most confusing for me because it's the one that's supposed complete his arc.
I don’t think the wall is a plot hole. The idea is the same as the one of the protagonist collecting the bullet (or dropping it in reverse). The bullet is in the wall because the protagonist himself shot it (or will shoot it) and the bullet is experiencing time in reverse. The bullet is shot in that very moment, and the difference is how the protagonist experiences causality (whether he senses that he shot it as in any regular gun or that the bullet is pulled back to the gun just as he starts to pull the trigger). Great video, though! It really elucidates several concepts and confusing parts of the movie.
About that bullet: From the Protagonit‘s perspective: They found a wall with inverted bullets and don‘t know how they got there. They take the wall to a secret lab and fire an empty gun at it. The bullets are moving out of the wall and back into the gun. Then the unfired bullet just exists together with the wall, which was never shot. At some point, the bullet is produced, from this point on, the bullet exists two times, one inverted and one normal. Both exist until the point where it got inverted, then both versions just disappear. From the bullets perspective: It is produced and just exists until it is inverted. Once it is inverted it just lays around until it gets put into the weapon and fired at a random wall. And it stays inside the wall. Then the wall is taken away from the secret lab and gets put at some random spot where it fits perfectly. It stays there forever... So there is no paradox. No matter how you put it, the Protagonist caused the bullet to be in the wall. Time is not linear in this movie and such a thing like free will doesn‘t exist since everything that happens needs to be pre-written in time to work. This is also pointed out by the last conversation between the Protagonist and Neil.
In would say the bullet was not shot by someone and unshot by JDW, But that scene was shown to audience in an reversed way, because they told that to unshot the bullet someone has to shot it at first place. Due to the bullet is inverted it just travelled back to the magazine. The similar kind of scenes were shown when the temporal pincer movement happened in the truck action sequence where many bullets were returning, so it means the person is inverted not the world, juts like the bullet was inverted but not the world, in one word “Causality”. :) others can comment or correct
finally a video that actually discussed what was happening. great job. one thing i'd add about your theory about the future generation potentially wanting to go back and live in the "new past", i'm not sure this holds up due to aging seemingly still occurring during inverted time. i took the whole thing as a metaphor for the fact that humanity is largely selfish and reactive instead of preventative with regards to climate issues, and that they simply had reached a point of desperation, where they had recklessly destroyed the planet and quite literally were now willing to go back and destroy "themselves" (i.e. human history as they knew it) in their last selfish and possibly futile attempt to survive.
I think your problem with the inverted bullet shooting range scene is that you keep thinking about it from the POV of normal time. Try looking at it from the POV of an inverted observer starting after the bullet has been unfired. From your perspective, the protagonist is the one shooting the bullets into the wall. This only works if the gun is also inverted. Not sure about the wall tho.
Thank you for your very helpful and easy to understand explanations in terms of making sense of that complicated yet fascinating movie 😄👍 It's fun to see the puzzle solved little by little 😁
there's also the idea that the fastest a particle can move is at the speed of light, at least according to studies in the late 19th and early 20th century, but this may not be so. There have been theoretical particles called Tachyons that move faster than the speed of light. But there's also quantum entanglement where two particles have met each other before and despite the distance between them, as soon as one is affected so is the other instantaneously. If they are billions of light years apart, instead of taking billions of years to affect one another, they affect each other instantaneously which is faster than the speed of light. If therefore time is where objects moving at the speed of light affect one another, by moving faster than the speed of light, time would not only slow down, and thus events slow down, but you'd eventually you'd run into the same particles that had affected you before, only in reverse order. So by going faster than the speed of light, you travel backwards in time, at least in a deterministic particle-based space-time frame-work.
nice video. The only thing that stuck out to me as possibly wrong is the bit about the watches, to my understanding anything that goes through the turnstiles is inverted and as a result if you went in wearing a watch the watch would continue ticking in the same direction when you come out inverted(from the point of view of the person wearing the watch it doesnt appear inverted). now obviously you were using the watch as a explaination aid but a wall clock would have worked better in my opinion.
Thanks Michelle, I really enjoyed your Tenet videos. I've now watched the movie twice and payed special attention to the bullet scene you are mentioning. In that scene, the Protagonist is only pulling the trigger when the bullet has already gone back into the barrel He is not triggering the bullet to go back by pulling the trigger. It is more that right before him pulling the trigger (or him having the "deterministic will" to pull the trigger), the bullet is pulled back into the gun. You're still right though about the bullet heating up and that the bullet must have been shot in inverted time by an inverted person. Also, as the turnpikes are reverting the entropie of objects, then why don't they have this effect on human bodies? It is stated that a person will still experience its time moving forward even after using a turnpike = thus the person will age. But that means that the entropie of human bodies is kinda not reversed.
I still have some questions like, The future generation communicates with Satour via e-mail, which means all those e-mails to the future generation were sent from years ago and they have all the messages with him, and I concluded that they know what happened to him. my question is why would they send him gold if they knew he would fail.? ( best explanation video i've seen about the movie,thanks)
I think you may be mistaken about the grandfather paradox in this movie. A major plot point was that they did not know the answer to the grandfather paradox. The scientist that created the algorithm believed that if they destroy the past, the future wouldn't exist. The rest of the evil people in the future believe that they can survive. At one point, the protagonist asks Neil if they are right and Neil says, it doesn't matter if they are right or not, all that matters is that they believe they are right.
10:11 I feel that the surface on which the bullets are and the bullets itself are from the future, and are inverted, and travelling back in time, as the doctor told and at this time they got them. And the gun might not be inverted as she didn't mention it. So shooting the gun makes sense to get the bullets back to the gun, as the bullets and the surface are inverted in time. Also Micheal Caine rendered that an explosion had occurred at staks 12, it might be possible that that surface and bullets are from there. Also during the scene at the opera, Neil kill a guy savings the protagonist by shooting an inverted bullet which was there already, it might be his gun was not inverted. Also I wanted to mention, when the protagonist goes back in time wearing the mask, he's seen struggling to drive the car which might also be inverted, but after a few glitches he succeeds driving it. The protagonist actually asks if he could drive a car in the first place.
What I didn't understand is , They took all the trouble to go to Oslo second round so they can use the turnstile to revert back to Normal time , and once They do that , Ives explains they have a turnstile of their own. :)
1:14 well.... no that first example is already wrong. Clock only appears to go backward if one or other of clock/viewer is inverted, but not both. 4:30 - not quite? The film says there is only one singular timeline, so grandfather wouldn't die because he hasn't. Though section 5 makes this seem odd. Section 3 is confusing to me too. I think 11:01- the gun, bullet and trunk are all inverted. The shot happened in scene, the gun trigger is squeezed (relatively backward). Sooner or later all the bullets will be inverse shot out the trunk and back home, leaving it pristine. On the whole, well structured and researched vid :)
Wonderful video. What is worth doing is worth doing well. I'm impressed. I feel primed to rewatch d movie d 4th time, in hope of getting a better grasp of it. Thanks
The flight metaphor doesn't really work imo. Catching the flight in the future doesn't hinder my ability to miss it in the past. In other words, both the lazy version of me that missed the flight and the wiser version of me that caught it can carry out their actions without challenging each other. Killing my past self is different, because it prevents his ability to get to where I am now. Think about this: what if I caught the flight, then went back in time and blew it up before my past self could catch it? That's the grandfather paradox. In any case, I loved the work you put into the analysis. Brilliant video. Subbed!
I have a theory about why Sator's death didn't end the world. He supposedly has a dead-man switch tied to his heartbeat. There are two other Sators that exist at the time of his death so perhaps the watch's signal tells the bomb, "Hey, don't go off. I'm still alive." and the bomb is still receiving that signal from one of the other Sators. For his plan to work, the watch and bomb should have been programed to send a "hey, I'm dead. Blow up, please" signal. That way, if any of the Sators died it would have triggered the bomb. So in reality the bomb wouldn't have gone off until the original Sator, the one still alive after Kat shot the Sator on the boat, went into the turnstyle next. At that point there would be no signal telling the bomb not to go off.
it just striked me a thought ,when u mentioned global warming being a threat to the future. It can be an alternate to cooper's world (intersetllar), if they would have built this turnstile thing instead of intergalactic travel mission. Or maybe they did , but the failed operation in tenet made them to intergalactic travel. weird corrolatoion, as i know this movie just represents nolan's earlier concepts coming together
if you can travel time against clockwise , you got same background with two layers of matter they occupy spac/time of other matter , they can annihilate the matter that he occupied it's space/time , like you appear into someone's body like a ghost and become material ,you'll tear him appart or you can be killed if that matter is harder than you like appearing in middle of steel of car ,you'll be torn..the inversed time isn't your's so you can have contact with other's people or thing that occupied that space/time before you ,you need to be extremly lucky to ovioid collision and melting into them..also those 2layrs of matters becomes antimatter and their contact will make them explose and tranforms into energy..if you travel invering time & reinverse you'll have 4copies of you ,future you ,invered copy of you and you in that past ,if you reinverse at that time ,you'll have another you ...same background with different layers , it's like making timespace clones of you ,like in racing videogames, you can see your car and the sametime the ghost of your previous race car, but 2layers cannot contact they are antimatter ,their will explose..also there's a problem of duplicating the space time while inverting time , if the whole space will be inverted while you reinvert time this means theire will be differents layers of people and space too, the actions and events will be randoms and hazardous to time traveller ,if time invert while people who live in that time still are regular ,the air and everything will invert ,this means the total annihilation of living being by asphexia and inverted metabolism ,it's not necessary to make a bomb ,just invert the present evrytime in a specific place and all living will be dead at that place , also inverted time people can take their inverted time whith tem ,they will affect space around them and cause the death of normal people because their will inverse time and space around them causing death of regular people of that regular time wich becomes inverted
The Liver would be unaffected unless you put something other than things you brought with you into your body. Breathing is the big one since you do that regularly, food, drink, and meds would be the others. However seeing and hearing would be very odd. You would probably need a body suit or cooling system because your sweat and stuff would heat you up along with other things I am sure.
good explanation. i agree this should be added in the blu ray version, as an end credit clip. but please allow me to ask this question: if kat went back in time to kill sator, then why we didnt see sator get killed or atleast encounter the future kat in the early boat scene. this is based on the fact that the 'protagonist' encountered his self early on the movie & tried to shoot him with a pistol.
I watched 10 videos so far.. none provided required clarity.. this video is dope. This one deserves million views.
Was about to say the same thing. Only video so far to really put some thought into it and address some of the more complex issues, like the wall and bullets.
I inverted myself to be the one who said this first, but it turns out my turnstile spinned me around full circle.
I was thinking that as well. Best explanation so far. Smart,n pretty. Unbelievable lol

I do agree.
@@TeaBreakFilmReviews Here is an idea.
The glass obviously wouldn't have been put there if it had formed bullet holes when it was first made, now would it? Even if there were strict orders to the manufacturer to disregard anything odd like this, paradoxing the timeline would still be waaay too easy.
Member how inverted protagonist is starting to feel pain, then starts bleeding shortly before the incident? A normal wound would have been noticed earlier, at least several days, it's forming at an apparently accelerated rate.
The bullet holes & remains starts "forming" shortly before the incident, this is where time inversion is lost (much like an ice cube losing its heat and this is why the scientist has those green glows when handling inverted objects) to the point it goes from negative to positive. Then they disappear during it as we see.
Later however, non-reverted bullet holes & remains starts re-appearing in the glass, with the back of the bullet-appearing first and glass cracks last.
Assuming the holes starts forming 11 minutes before the shot for example, it would then apparently start apparently re-forming 11 minutes after the shot and from the bullet hole perspective, it would be everything else jumping 22 minutes forward.
It would also necessary for the plot, the machines to invert time would have had to, from the normal perspective, to "appear" seemingly out of nowhere to begin with some unseen machine specialized for just that purpose, as they do not seem to be capable to do that on their own.
did any of those videos explain why the protagonist tries to shoot himself in the head? Or is there no reason whatsoever other than the supposedly cool fighting scene?
@@Yarblocosifilitico While struggling for control of the gun the future inverted protagonist misses on purpose to empty the gun of bullets so that non-inverted protagonist would not be able to shoot him
Best description I've seen of this so far. Answered a lot of my questions. Bravo
#loveit
you smart girl, you have answered my questions. better than some stupid rambling videos out there. can you analyze the final battle scene? it seems i cannot follow what is going on for that 10 min-battle.
Hi Lois, I am glad I have answered your questions. In terms of in depth analyses of particular scenes, I won't be able to do those until the film comes out on dvd as I need to have the footage to be able to break down the shots in order to give the best explanation of what is happening. In the meantime, I will have a short explanation of how the Temporal Pincer Movement works in my timeline video, coming very soon!
@@TeaBreakFilmReviews will be waiting for that
Yes please! :)
@@TeaBreakFilmReviews I'd like to know why the protagonist tries to shoot himself in the head
@@Yarblocosifilitico better ask Nolan himself
10:25
I think the answer here is in what the woman explains a few moments later, when they’re pushing the bullet around on the table. She says to him “you have to have dropped it” - but she had to say that, because “dropping”the bullet is less intuitive than “pulling the trigger”. She told him to aim at the wall and pull the trigger - but the bullet hits the wall *after* he pulls the trigger, so in reversed entropy, the bullet comes out of the wall *before* he pulls the trigger. He fired the bullet, just like he dropped it.
Loving this video, so far, tho - the points about bodily functions hadn’t occurred to me, among other things. Your language over the issues is what allowed me to explain this the way I understood it from the film 💙💙💙
this is the clearest and best explanation I've seen so far.. subbed!
Actually, I think Sator decided to die by suicide and his heart monitor is a dead man's switch to trigger the explosion of the buried assembled algorithm he instructed his henchman to bury at his abandoned hometown. he chose this time because it was the final moment he remembers being at peace with Kat and possibly have his whole family with him. It is "bad-guy-ness" but it is his way of going out (and taking the world with him) at a time of his choosing (i.e. playing God).
The dead man’s switch was to trigger an email send that the future villains, that employed Sator, can read to find where the algorithm was buried.
You guys got it. I wasn’t sure if the speaker did.
11:03 - you're absolutely right. This is not logical inside the movie's logic. It just is a "chamber presentation" of the driving plot. It couldn't be done in another way. When people listens to the dialogues from the last 10 minutes of the movie and the first 10 minutes of the movie, it all "connects". Genius scripting.
thank you a lot , you made clear how inverted people traveled without oxigene and without was seen inverted by normal people (and they will see them inverted too at same time)
Well done, a calm well paced analysis of the concepts behind Tenet, without pretending to know it all and without glossing over points that are really hard to explain. By far the best I’ve seen so far.
Thank you.. Best explanation I’ve seen!! One clarification regarding Kat’s multiple occurrences in the climax. As u said even if they are in the same timeline, they both have to co exist together and live up to the future. They can’t change the past. So the same will repeat in the timeline right. She will get shot again and she will need to inverse and move to the past. And cycle continues
8:22 I finally got an explanation for this
thank you sooo much!! I already watched Tenet 5 times and I couldnt understand it 100% . I saw the timeline video and this one and I will go to watch Tenet for the last time knowing that now I will fully understand it!! thank you thank you thank you! I recomended this video to all my friends! :=)
I don't think there's a better video explaining tenet . Thnx for this🙌🏻
Best Best Best... Explanation ever.. You literally deserve more and more subscribers..than you have..I definitely recommend this channel.. Awesome
So, I'm here in a state that isn't yet allowed to have open theaters, so I've utilized a different means for viewing this film, I simply couldn't wait for whenever restrictions are lifted here. I mention that because the quality in which I viewed the film is definitely wanting, but I was still able to gather the bulk of what transpired in the film but I know there's some important things I surely missed. Alright, so that was a long setup for hopefully excusing this question/commentary coming off as dimwitted. But I was super puzzled as to how Kat went back in time to the boat with her husband. Did she simply time travel or was she on the boat inverted? And if she was on the boat inverted, why didn't she, and her husband have on oxygen masks?
Hi Christopher, thank you for watching. It is a complicated film so all questions are welcome!
Kat, Neil, The Protagonist and Ives inverted time to the point of the Vietnam vacation on the boat. We don't get shown this but they must have gone back to normal time once they reached the correct day, therefore they didn't need oxygen masks. Sator did the same thing but we were also not shown.
I too had to find alternative ways to view this and boy was the sound terrible.
@@hello2jello4mellow34 Quite terrible, and that's on top of the fact that reportedly the dialog sound in theaters wasn't that great to begin with lol.
@@nachundnach The dialog sound was good except in places where it was intentionally made bad to keep you safe from spoilers. On the second viewing everything made sense and I was just enjoying the loud music and explosions.
Great break down!
Some stuff :
1. There was some talking about "Entropy decay" effect on reversed objects. So and object makes some damage it will not stay for ever going back in time. For example if a reversed bullet leaves a hole in the wall that hole should stay there till the time that wall/building was build.. But in the movie it disappears in a few minutes. So with the same hole example, if someone moving in the past forward in time he/she will see the hole slowly forming (Entropy decay in revers) and then after some time the hole is "un damaged" with the reversed shot un fired.. Now this is sort of proven with the hole in the Opera and the Oslo scenes. But falls short with first wall in the shooting range, because the holes been there (assumingely) for a long time..
But this is a nice explanation that solves some small stuff.. for example the actual worker that did that part of the wall would have to "build" that hole with his/hers own hands, which is kinda weird.
2. Im not sure the part of 3 instances at 4:21 is correct (maybe I failed to understand something). If 1 goes into the machine there will be 2 instances of him/her in the time prior to the second entering the machine.. A split of a second after entering, there will none.. So for a side observer, the one entered the machine disappeared completely after entering.. Now if instance 2 will reverse him/her self again and go forward in time, going pass the time original instance entered the machine then, there will be 3 instances up to the second the first instance went in, after that there will be only 1..
Not sure im right on that one..
All and all, one of the best movies I saw.. So much brain food.. Even with its some logic holes.. |
Thanks for the vid , looking forward for the actual movie, spoilers one :)
Jesus this was shockingly good , the best I have seen and I watched like 10 to 12 at least . Bravo ma'am
My one question is: How do you go from one turnstile (red) to another turnstile (blue) during inversion without walking into it?
I think that's why they needed 2 turnstiles, because you can't go back through the same one without running into yourself, I guess.
I think some kind of handoff is implied. They’re bit reflections of the same turnstile, from what I can tell, but the interior shots indicate that no one is walking from one side to the other either.
Finally found a TENET explanation video that made sense and was easy to understand.
Fantastic explanation. This should be on the special features disc that comes with the movie.
Although Tenet is one of my favorite movies, I've never been able to exclaim these many "Ahaa!"'s before! Thank you for this video, it was very comprehensive! New sub, well earned, even if no other of your videos were as good as this one. A quick look suggests I'll have binging material for a few weeks.
there's also an idea called a light cone, where an event occurs in a particular place in space and time, and how since it can be seen by those ahead of it physically and behind it physically, it is both recognized by what we perceive to be the future and the past. It has a place in time and space from both directions, and is thus affecting both the past and the future if that makes sense.
I think your video is amazing, extremely simple to understand and you explain things well.
my theory on how an inverted body functions. you know the whole 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food thing. well, I believe that the longer you spend inverted time, the harder it is for your body to function. you cannot function without air (well you could for a few minutes maybe) but your inverted body can handle itself for a few days without intervention. essentially there is an upper limit as your body starts to literally live itself to death as intestines pull nutrients from your blood and your liver begins to place toxins into the body. then my theory is this can be slowed down using medical equipment (to clean the body) and inverted food and water that your body can absorb normally. basically, you would be living like someone who has organs who cannot properly function. (i don't know the medical terms)
I had the same question about the wall and came to the same conclusion.
Wall was shot up by an inverted gun fight, was then retrieved along with the bullet casings and guns, and used for experiments.
I can’t believe how much time you putted into this problem, great explanation and exploration.
I love thinking, as well as thinking about thinking. I love visual thinking even more as well as visually thinking about visual thinking, So Nolan is great, and your video was very helpful to think, loved the ending too 🙏😁
Probably the best explanation out there. I still think they should have gone with a simpler plot that we can easily follow so we can have time to digest the whole time inversion thing
This is was the best video I've seen on Tenet thus far!!! Great job.
I am drinking my drink and raising a toast to you Michelle for what is a wonderfully researched and presented piece. Thank you so much
My questions have been answered. Better than a lot of other youtube channels out there. Keep up the good work
My brain hurts. I admire your dedication in making this video.
I told myself I need to rewatch the movie before watching this.
Now I need to rewatch this video a few times.
I also think the movie is actually linked to other movies, or at least is a clear ode. Releasing TENET TEN years after Inception (20TEN). Great video, and stunned that your channel has below 10k viewers.
I think the protagonist told Neil in the past that Kat had to stay alive for the mission to be successful, another reason he was keeping tabs on her after the mission was completed.
Woah!!
This makes so much sense now. I'll be watching the movie again from a whole new perspective.
Michelle, you are a genius. Keep up the good work. ✌🏼
Best Tenet explained video yet! Subscription earned!
Very good point about other body functions! Nolan is always skipping over facts in order to reach the goal.
Check out Carter Butler's recent comment, it will help you will better understand. And Nolan is genius for even diving into these concepts head on and making them work so effectively within the framework of cinema. I'd suggest not taking cheap shots at a legendary director with a tremendous body of work just because you perceived an issue with some logic.
I‘m a bit late, but I want to address two points you made:
1) Regarding the supposed plot hole with the protagonist (un)shooting the gun:
I don’t think it’s a plot hole. The gun was inverted as it is. In the gun’s inverted timeline, nobody has fired it until it gets to the protagonist. The protagonist then fires the inverted gun, the bullet hits the wall and travels backwards through time from there. The only difference to later occurrences was that the protagonist himself was not inverted. So to him it looked like he was un-shooting the gun.
2) Regarding the algorithm:
This is actually where I see a potential plot hole. Because if the entropy of the universe is reverted completely, then people should actually grow younger, etc.
Yet the future seems to think that they’ll continue to exist as normal, growing old and dying, but moving backwards in time. But then it wouldn’t really be this reset, the universe wouldn’t change, it would only be a large scale inversion and future humanity would exist simultaneously with past humanity, not extinguishing it.
this is the best video I've seen about the movie and its concepts, thanks so much!
to answer the inverted object question:
We see multiple times that seeing an inverted person, they appear to me moving, doing, and talking backwards, whereas from their perspective, they are moving forward through a reversed world.
So if a bullet is inverted, would it not be travelling forward through a reversed world (from it's perspective), but we view it as moving backwards into the gun? It's just a forward and reversing of events already happened. That's why we see the protagonist pull bullets from the glass in one direction, then shoot the bullets through the glass in the other direction.
It's just you're only ever privy to one direction of things.
this lady is lucid. Respect.
great video! very well explained! i only have one constructive thing to add: at the beginning you talk about why inverted people need their own oxygen in order to survive. and you mentioned the liver and that it decomposes toxins in our body and you are not sure how an inverted person would be effected . i think that inverted people would need inverted food and water as well, like air, in order to be able to survive longer periods of inversion. bc i am almost certain that not inverted food will not be processable by the body of an inverted person. its not only the liver - basically the whole digestive act will not function with food that goes into the other direction of time. it's simply cause and effect. eating is cause and digesting is the effect. if the food you eat is reversed compared to your time - it simply won't be digestible. besides of the problem that for an inverted person - no one will be able to cook you a meal, bc finished meals would go back into the oven from a inverted persons view if you know what i mean. to think it further - if you would want to survive inversion for a very long time - you would basically need your own inverted kitchen, bc cooking in a normal kitchen with normal food would also not be possible for you :-D
This is the kind of explanation I was looking for!
For the test fire of the inverted bullet in the wall scene it doesn't matter if you are inverted or not. When you pull a trigger your finger starts forward of the trigger then is pulled reward. Once pulled back and the gun fires the slide operates, you release the trigger and it the trigger resets. If you played this action in reverse it would look the exact same as it would forward. Similar concept for a newton cradle and watching that in reverse.
Way late to the party but saw the movie, thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to offer a possibile explanation for the bullet wall situation you discuss at 11:38 - Due to the prevalent theme of bleedthrough, interplay, and potential, I feel the best justification/scenaro for the bullets in the wall is one that doesn't rely on a concrete link to one cause one effect, but instead suggests one effect but many possible causes. The bullets in the wall, whether placed there in the distant future by firing into the wall or placed there by the scientist 5 minutes before The Protagonist arrives by firing them into the wall, are suspended and can be "retrieved" by a compatible event. Another component of the gun, bullets, wall, situation; all of these items and the ones catalogued serve as evidence of the future because they are from the future, not just normal timeflow objects that can interact with the future. As such, they are measurably contaminated with reverse radiation. I think it stands that items brought back from the future can be operated or manipulated in normal timeflow, but the items can interact with compatible future events; as if the future is reaching back to make the connection. This is demonstrated when The Protagonist and Scientist are rolling the bullets back and forth; playing with pushing, pulling, dropping, and undropping them. This also applies to the side mirror at the beginning of the highway chase scene when The Protagonist and Neil are getting ready; the mirror suddenly appears broken and is minutes away from meeting one of many possible causes for it. Additionally, in reference to the first turnstyle scene where the unknown man exits in reverse and seems to unload an entire clip toward the protagonist in reverse after reassembling a gun. I argue that at any point it would be possible to disarm or remove the gun and the gun/bullets would not be drawn to eachother because the gun cannot fire/unfire itself. The only way for them to interact would be to pose a situation where its possible to have the potential of both objects reversed. Its a little scattered, but I feel like this makes sense without causing any devastating plot holes...hell it might even fix others on the basis of "one effect but many possible causes".
Best video out explaining the movie...definitely will share.
I consciously wanted to avoid videos by self-proclaimed instructors to Tenet and/or "enlightened Nolan fans"; In watching your video, I succeeded: You did anything but this.
Very good work; You went out of your way to even explain points that would have worked out fine even left unexplained. And you explained even those in a coherent way -anything left unexplained was simply because it has no explanation (and, in showing that, you were simply proving the "holes", which weren't really any holes, since Tent is still a movie and not a physics paper, as you were very wise to imply).
The only point I diverge in my understanding is on "the future's plan", because I thought this was kind of plausibly hypotheticised by the characters: I didn't think that plan was to hit the "reset button", but to hit the button that would (as the film says) "make the inverted direction of time the dominant one", so that future generations themselves go on living inverted on a different direction of time (the inverted having been made the dominant one).
Again awesome work, your video deserves even more views! Thank you.
good point about the future's plan. As i understood it, the future is some sort of post-apocaliptic wasteland and the protagonists are only ensuring that that outcome happens. So... yay?
@@Yarblocosifilitico Is it the "future"? Or some cowards that want to be leaders of the new world after they destroy everything?
@@wesleywallace4426 the future is a post-apocaliptic wasteland, yeah. Kinda hard for people to be that :P But yeah, I get your point.
i wanna clarify Neil's LAST inversion (which isnt shown in the movie).
1. so he inverts himself.
2. goes THROUGH the tunnel... which was already blocked??? how?
3. reached them at the center but Ives and the protagonist are already BEYOND the door.
4. Neil unlocks it and sees them BACKING OUT of the place..back into the tunnel since they are inverted in neil's perspective.
5. locks himself back inside ... ???
6. then catches the inverted bullet (in his perspective) through his head.
is that how it happens? that part's the most confusing for me because it's the one that's supposed complete his arc.
I don’t think the wall is a plot hole. The idea is the same as the one of the protagonist collecting the bullet (or dropping it in reverse). The bullet is in the wall because the protagonist himself shot it (or will shoot it) and the bullet is experiencing time in reverse. The bullet is shot in that very moment, and the difference is how the protagonist experiences causality (whether he senses that he shot it as in any regular gun or that the bullet is pulled back to the gun just as he starts to pull the trigger).
Great video, though! It really elucidates several concepts and confusing parts of the movie.
Your efforts make my head feel slightly less confused. Thanks a lot, the other videos I tried didn't help at all!
This video deserves many, many, many, many more views
About that bullet:
From the Protagonit‘s perspective: They found a wall with inverted bullets and don‘t know how they got there. They take the wall to a secret lab and fire an empty gun at it. The bullets are moving out of the wall and back into the gun. Then the unfired bullet just exists together with the wall, which was never shot. At some point, the bullet is produced, from this point on, the bullet exists two times, one inverted and one normal. Both exist until the point where it got inverted, then both versions just disappear.
From the bullets perspective: It is produced and just exists until it is inverted. Once it is inverted it just lays around until it gets put into the weapon and fired at a random wall. And it stays inside the wall. Then the wall is taken away from the secret lab and gets put at some random spot where it fits perfectly. It stays there forever...
So there is no paradox. No matter how you put it, the Protagonist caused the bullet to be in the wall. Time is not linear in this movie and such a thing like free will doesn‘t exist since everything that happens needs to be pre-written in time to work. This is also pointed out by the last conversation between the Protagonist and Neil.
Just saw the movie again. The scientist says "the bullet came with the wall."
this one settles it for any further reference... the whole day I was researching on entropy, finally got it and so simply
In would say the bullet was not shot by someone and unshot by JDW, But that scene was shown to audience in an reversed way, because they told that to unshot the bullet someone has to shot it at first place. Due to the bullet is inverted it just travelled back to the magazine.
The similar kind of scenes were shown when the temporal pincer movement happened in the truck action sequence where many bullets were returning, so it means the person is inverted not the world, juts like the bullet was inverted but not the world, in one word “Causality”. :) others can comment or correct
Among all the explanations on tenet, this video stands first. 🔥
Thank you I was looking for a video that explained how entropy worked in Tenet. This is the best by far!
omg finally an explainer video that actually gets me to understand the movie ! Thank you ! Subscribed !
finally a video that actually discussed what was happening. great job. one thing i'd add about your theory about the future generation potentially wanting to go back and live in the "new past", i'm not sure this holds up due to aging seemingly still occurring during inverted time. i took the whole thing as a metaphor for the fact that humanity is largely selfish and reactive instead of preventative with regards to climate issues, and that they simply had reached a point of desperation, where they had recklessly destroyed the planet and quite literally were now willing to go back and destroy "themselves" (i.e. human history as they knew it) in their last selfish and possibly futile attempt to survive.
This video is amazing! Everything is explained so clear!! Omg!! Thank you!
I think your problem with the inverted bullet shooting range scene is that you keep thinking about it from the POV of normal time.
Try looking at it from the POV of an inverted observer starting after the bullet has been unfired.
From your perspective, the protagonist is the one shooting the bullets into the wall. This only works if the gun is also inverted. Not sure about the wall tho.
This is genuinely amazing! Thanks for this
You have the best explanation videos by far! Linear time travel is just really a pain to understand and analyze.
Thanks for posting, this made things much for clearer. Great movie.
Glad I am. Not the only one struggling with the bullets in the Clémènte Poèsy scene... Nice job!
Wow I just watched Tenet and you do a very outstanding job
Thank you for your very helpful and easy to understand explanations in terms of making sense of that complicated yet fascinating movie 😄👍 It's fun to see the puzzle solved little by little 😁
Thank you for watching! I am glad my analysis was helpful.
This is the best explanation video I've ever seen. Thank you!
i just found this channel........WATCHING ALL THE VIDEOSSSSSSSSS
Well please feel free to explain every mind bending movie. No one could have done it better . And i will be watching
Yes!!!! Thank you! By far explained this the best
This video is must watch if you've watched Tenet
there's also the idea that the fastest a particle can move is at the speed of light, at least according to studies in the late 19th and early 20th century, but this may not be so. There have been theoretical particles called Tachyons that move faster than the speed of light. But there's also quantum entanglement where two particles have met each other before and despite the distance between them, as soon as one is affected so is the other instantaneously. If they are billions of light years apart, instead of taking billions of years to affect one another, they affect each other instantaneously which is faster than the speed of light. If therefore time is where objects moving at the speed of light affect one another, by moving faster than the speed of light, time would not only slow down, and thus events slow down, but you'd eventually you'd run into the same particles that had affected you before, only in reverse order. So by going faster than the speed of light, you travel backwards in time, at least in a deterministic particle-based space-time frame-work.
nice video. The only thing that stuck out to me as possibly wrong is the bit about the watches, to my understanding anything that goes through the turnstiles is inverted and as a result if you went in wearing a watch the watch would continue ticking in the same direction when you come out inverted(from the point of view of the person wearing the watch it doesnt appear inverted). now obviously you were using the watch as a explaination aid but a wall clock would have worked better in my opinion.
also i think you might have missed the fact that the entire bomb was attached to his fit bit so if he died it would trigger the bomb
Thanks Michelle, I really enjoyed your Tenet videos. I've now watched the movie twice and payed special attention to the bullet scene you are mentioning. In that scene, the Protagonist is only pulling the trigger when the bullet has already gone back into the barrel He is not triggering the bullet to go back by pulling the trigger. It is more that right before him pulling the trigger (or him having the "deterministic will" to pull the trigger), the bullet is pulled back into the gun. You're still right though about the bullet heating up and that the bullet must have been shot in inverted time by an inverted person.
Also, as the turnpikes are reverting the entropie of objects, then why don't they have this effect on human bodies? It is stated that a person will still experience its time moving forward even after using a turnpike = thus the person will age. But that means that the entropie of human bodies is kinda not reversed.
I still have some questions like,
The future generation communicates with Satour via e-mail, which means all those e-mails to the future generation were sent from years ago and they have all the messages with him, and I concluded that they know what happened to him.
my question is why would they send him gold if they knew he would fail.? ( best explanation video i've seen about the movie,thanks)
Breathtakingly beautiful analysis/&dissection📽👑
yes. the wall is from the final mission. its the protagonist returning them to his gun.
Thanks. Best explanation will watch again your video and the film.
Really great job explaining, thanks!
You are brilliant. Thank you for making this video.
Brilliant, thank you so much for making this 👍🏻
I think you may be mistaken about the grandfather paradox in this movie. A major plot point was that they did not know the answer to the grandfather paradox. The scientist that created the algorithm believed that if they destroy the past, the future wouldn't exist. The rest of the evil people in the future believe that they can survive. At one point, the protagonist asks Neil if they are right and Neil says, it doesn't matter if they are right or not, all that matters is that they believe they are right.
10:11 I feel that the surface on which the bullets are and the bullets itself are from the future, and are inverted, and travelling back in time, as the doctor told and at this time they got them. And the gun might not be inverted as she didn't mention it. So shooting the gun makes sense to get the bullets back to the gun, as the bullets and the surface are inverted in time.
Also Micheal Caine rendered that an explosion had occurred at staks 12, it might be possible that that surface and bullets are from there.
Also during the scene at the opera, Neil kill a guy savings the protagonist by shooting an inverted bullet which was there already, it might be his gun was not inverted.
Also I wanted to mention, when the protagonist goes back in time wearing the mask, he's seen struggling to drive the car which might also be inverted, but after a few glitches he succeeds driving it.
The protagonist actually asks if he could drive a car in the first place.
What I didn't understand is , They took all the trouble to go to Oslo second round so they can use the turnstile to revert back to Normal time , and once They do that , Ives explains they have a turnstile of their own. :)
1:14 well.... no that first example is already wrong. Clock only appears to go backward if one or other of clock/viewer is inverted, but not both.
4:30 - not quite? The film says there is only one singular timeline, so grandfather wouldn't die because he hasn't. Though section 5 makes this seem odd.
Section 3 is confusing to me too. I think 11:01- the gun, bullet and trunk are all inverted. The shot happened in scene, the gun trigger is squeezed (relatively backward). Sooner or later all the bullets will be inverse shot out the trunk and back home, leaving it pristine.
On the whole, well structured and researched vid :)
Whilst watching the movie. I was thinking this is for smart people. Thank you for your constructive explanations. May Allah bless your smartness.
Wonderful video. What is worth doing is worth doing well.
I'm impressed.
I feel primed to rewatch d movie d 4th time, in hope of getting a better grasp of it.
Thanks
The flight metaphor doesn't really work imo. Catching the flight in the future doesn't hinder my ability to miss it in the past. In other words, both the lazy version of me that missed the flight and the wiser version of me that caught it can carry out their actions without challenging each other. Killing my past self is different, because it prevents his ability to get to where I am now. Think about this: what if I caught the flight, then went back in time and blew it up before my past self could catch it? That's the grandfather paradox.
In any case, I loved the work you put into the analysis. Brilliant video. Subbed!
I have a theory about why Sator's death didn't end the world. He supposedly has a dead-man switch tied to his heartbeat. There are two other Sators that exist at the time of his death so perhaps the watch's signal tells the bomb, "Hey, don't go off. I'm still alive." and the bomb is still receiving that signal from one of the other Sators. For his plan to work, the watch and bomb should have been programed to send a "hey, I'm dead. Blow up, please" signal. That way, if any of the Sators died it would have triggered the bomb. So in reality the bomb wouldn't have gone off until the original Sator, the one still alive after Kat shot the Sator on the boat, went into the turnstyle next. At that point there would be no signal telling the bomb not to go off.
The wall is from stalsk12 “finale” shot by the protagonist.
it just striked me a thought ,when u mentioned global warming being a threat to the future. It can be an alternate to cooper's world (intersetllar), if they would have built this turnstile thing instead of intergalactic travel mission. Or maybe they did , but the failed operation in tenet made them to intergalactic travel. weird corrolatoion, as i know this movie just represents nolan's earlier concepts coming together
Very smart
if you can travel time against clockwise , you got same background with two layers of matter they occupy spac/time of other matter , they can annihilate the matter that he occupied it's space/time , like you appear into someone's body like a ghost and become material ,you'll tear him appart or you can be killed if that matter is harder than you like appearing in middle of steel of car ,you'll be torn..the inversed time isn't your's so you can have contact with other's people or thing that occupied that space/time before you ,you need to be extremly lucky to ovioid collision and melting into them..also those 2layrs of matters becomes antimatter and their contact will make them explose and tranforms into energy..if you travel invering time & reinverse you'll have 4copies of you ,future you ,invered copy of you and you in that past ,if you reinverse at that time ,you'll have another you ...same background with different layers , it's like making timespace clones of you ,like in racing videogames, you can see your car and the sametime the ghost of your previous race car, but 2layers cannot contact they are antimatter ,their will explose..also there's a problem of duplicating the space time while inverting time , if the whole space will be inverted while you reinvert time this means theire will be differents layers of people and space too, the actions and events will be randoms and hazardous to time traveller ,if time invert while people who live in that time still are regular ,the air and everything will invert ,this means the total annihilation of living being by asphexia and inverted metabolism ,it's not necessary to make a bomb ,just invert the present evrytime in a specific place and all living will be dead at that place , also inverted time people can take their inverted time whith tem ,they will affect space around them and cause the death of normal people because their will inverse time and space around them causing death of regular people of that regular time wich becomes inverted
The Liver would be unaffected unless you put something other than things you brought with you into your body. Breathing is the big one since you do that regularly, food, drink, and meds would be the others. However seeing and hearing would be very odd. You would probably need a body suit or cooling system because your sweat and stuff would heat you up along with other things I am sure.
good explanation. i agree this should be added in the blu ray version, as an end credit clip.
but please allow me to ask this question: if kat went back in time to kill sator, then why we didnt see sator get killed or atleast encounter the future kat in the early boat scene. this is based on the fact that the 'protagonist' encountered his self early on the movie & tried to shoot him with a pistol.
Wow you are awesome!! I had entered into your sub loop 40 years ago 😅
