    In Tenet, the mind bending thriller from Christopher Nolan, a CIA agent has to travel through time and bend the laws of nature to prevent World War III. We're breaking down the films increasingly complex and massive scale story, answering every question along the way, and explaining the meaning of the ending.
    P.S. Yes this is my longest video ever. Curse you Nolan!!!

    One thing that still seems ridiculous to me is how the characters can’t breath non-inverted air, but their eyes can pick up non-inverted light waves. Still a really entertaining experience, and I’d love to see more of Neil and Protagonist’s adventures in the future.

    • @lunacouer
      @lunacouer 2 роки тому +140

      Isn't light kinda special though? Because light (photons/light waves) has no mass, it doesn't experience time. It's why nothing can be faster than light in our universe - everything else has mass slowing it down, causing it to experience time.
      So I think inversion has no effect on light.
      Or it could all just be a contrivance in service to the plot, and they never thought of it 😂

      Prescott Herbert I agree with you I feel like Nolan wanted to make a high concept Scfi movie for hardcore fans of the genre. He succeeded but it kinda left casual viewers out in the cold. Inception I argue hits just the right balance of complexity and accessibility. Interstellar I’ve always argue was Nolan’s own version 2001 a space odyssey

    Tenet is a good movie, it’s nice seeing people who like the movie also nice seeing those who don’t quite get it either. Nolan was very daring with his 3rd time I believe telling a story of with time. Neil tells us who’s at war when he explains the grandfather paradox. We’re learning about a much much bigger battle backwards it’s almost like a origin story for how the protagonist becomes the leader of the organization. The battle between our future selves and past. Weird hearing your future self is trying to kill you, usually it’s the other way around but the movie inverts that train of thought.

    I believe the reason we don’t find out the name for protagonist name or backstory is because he not only started up tenet but also was in the group that wanted to end the world. That is why information is directly kept from him. It points out that the antagonist cannot know that he failes. If so he will just go back and keep trying until he was successful. This gives a big the reasons why we know nothing of the main character he is both sides of the coin. What do you think?

      But judging by how the world hasn't been reverted by a bunch of tactical gear agents and Priya even stated the scientist inventing inverted materials committed suicide after knowing the "antagonists" would try to use it to destroy the past, but also it was revealed that Protagonist is the founder of Tenet in the future, but the tech wouldn't have been invented way after our lifetime. Plus unlike conventional time travel, a person, even if having their body reverted to the past, would still age as a normal person for the time it takes for them to go the point that they went back, so Tenet agents (Neil included) are much older than they appear, with Sir Michael stated his involvement in the Cold War as well.
      Even if Protagonist is the real antagonist and all of these are his future-self attempts to uh, dominate the world. then someone else, even bigger than Tenet, pulled the strings so that the future doesn't commit the grandfather paradox in the first place. Why would he want to kill everyone in the past if that risks creating a paradox?

    One reason Tenet is so confusing is because there's a lot of filler storylines that seem important but really aren't.
    Like multiple huge storylines. And ironically some of those (the stuff with the Mob, CIA and Tenet itself) were more confusing than the inverse stuff.
    Plot is actually simple: John sets up a series of events in the past from the future to stop the universe from ending because he knows exactly what needs to happen because he lived through it and got help from himself. Everything else is just confusing for the sake of being confusing. Plus seeing inverted people do stuff (and the whole ending fight) is kind of a mind fuck but that's not plot crucial.

    This is the type of movie that you appreciate after minutes / hours / days of thinking of the plot.
    I wouldn't lump this with inception, memento or other Nolan films, because with memento, you get a mind blow effect at the end of the film, and subsequent watches will make you appreciate the film. With inception, you already "get" the film, and the subsequent thoughts would be theory crafting or interpretations (like, was he really in the real world... or how much time did he spend in the dream world etc.)
    With this though, subsequent watching will not only make you appreciate the film, but it's almost downright crucial to understand what's going on.
    Nolan truly transcended how "mind bending" films work with this one. But I will have to be honest, that if a more indie film maker would've done this, I would've brushed it off as being ????
    But since it's made by Nolan, I took the time to actually figure out what he was trying to convey... and it's definitely different from the usual films, even to his standard.

    Usually Nolan’s films are mind boggling but so well crafted that I keep up and fully understand the concepts but this film raised so many questions that could be plot holes like why they can’t just tell each other what’s gonna happen. What difference does it make knowing what’s going to happen as they’re able to go back in time to make sure shit happens which is Neil’s entire storyline so why couldn’t Neil be saved by John telling him he is going to get shot saving him and locking the door?

    My question is, if Neil was sent back from the future to the beginning of the movie, that means he must have spent like half his life traveling backwards in time right? Since time travel isn't instant. So in order for him to have traveled all the way back to the beginning he must have spent years living in inverted time. Which also means the time he spent with the protagonist in the future must have been when he was like a teenager? Which means he was probably recruited as a kid?

      You know, I think he could have been sort of put in stasis and then reversed, he wouldn’t age and he wouldn’t need to eat or drink until his reversion ends, seems plausible to me.

      The end of the movie is after all the time travel stuff we watch. Since time is moving regular when he's creeping on blondie, it makes sense that they just jump around willy nilly when they want or need to. Could be years in between jumps.

    This is a perfect example of a movie that can’t be done justice in a movie review. I watched it twice and still didn’t catch all the things in the film, and talked with my dad about it for hours. Would definitely recommend watching it if you can bc it was mind bogglingly good.

    As a person living in Estonia myself, which where most of this movies scenes where shot, i can tell you that it makes me feel proud of my country to see its beauty in a worldwide famous movie. The first scene where the theatre is said to be in Kiev, is actually located in Tallinn, Estonia. Its name is just Tallinns Linnahall.
