I feel like Tenet is seeing a resurgence in popularity this year which makes me so unbelievably happy. It's easily one of the most impressive films ever made, and by far the most underrated in recent memory.
@@noomadeTBH, most people simply could not grasp what was going on, it was a mumble jumble mess to them. This really is an intellectual movie. In other words, it went whoooosh over most heads.
@@tsartomato Tenet is a lot of things, but generic definitely isn't one of them lol. The internet honestly kind of ruined public opinion of this film. Lots of angry nerds who thought they were supposed to understand the halide breakdown at the freeport, rather than take in Pattinsons objectively flawless facial expressions. Tenet is so good the internet hates it...that's kinda fucking awesome.
I took a few edibles before seeing this in theaters and I honestly couldn't tell you what it was about but for whatever reason I had an absolute blast watching it. I've never had that experience with a movie before. Instead of trying to understand wtf was going on, I just went along for the ride and it was one of my better theater experiences
Damn dude, that's pretty genius. I won't say I'm trying that next time I watch a convoluted movie, but I'm definitely trying that next time I watch a convoluted movie.
Oh my god I did the same. I was absolutely beyond understanding anything but had an absolute blast. I haven't rewatched it and I don't know if I want to. I can't really say I 'like' the movie because I've never understood it while watching it, but I sure did enjoy watching Tenet.
I did the same thing with Puss in Boots 2. I did it because it’s a kids movie and I was expecting it to suck. Ended up not remembering the film at but I remember feeling all the right emotions during the watch. Had to be told by my friends later how good it actually was
I love how challenging this movie is when you try to make sense of every aspect of it, but simultaneously how entertaining and exciting it is when you just watch it without trying to understand everything. This movie is so hard to pull off and I just love it exists. Few movies make me feel like I'm watching it for the first time like Tenet does every time I watch it. Great analysis and video; and so unexpectedly funny. You got a new follower.
I'm always happy to see creators who appreciate TENET as much i do. You have a new subscriber. And I'm sharing with all my friends and family that I have had such a hard time trying to explain this movie to for the last 4 years
@32:27 - the entire reverse dialogue is: “It’s in the back of the SAAB. Make sure that he is dead. Go pick up the algorithm at the freeport.” Source: ua-cam.com/video/_XFJpXQwanE/v-deo.htmlsi=qsTwWoiXpKGqWMqo This conversation happens after Sator sees the handoff.
The point of "knowledge divided" is slightly more than just trust issues. That's certainly part of it. Future P who founds TENET has learned ANY information can be passed on to "posterity", which is the Antagonist. Dividing up the information makes it hard to collect and save for posterity to learn about. Any time P does something that will be recorded in a newspaper or police report, Sator knows about it already because posterity knows from the records and will have told him. Posterity is not even aware that the hypocenter got attacked, because the explosion that was reported was their plan to bury the algorithm, and nothing about the operation was saved in records.
The protagonist of the present is the antagonist from the future (or from the future's perspective, the antagonist from the past is the protagonist of the future). I honestly thought Nolan was being extremely on-the-nose with calling the process of going backwards through time "inversion" (and literally having the Protagonist fight himself in the same scene, hence making him his own antagonist) since it can be applied to character roles, but here we are. I haven't seen anyone else notice.

@@ClockworkGearhead interesting idea but I don't think it works. The Protagonist goes through all that, understands that whatever happened has happend and later decides to fight himself anyway?
@ Correct. His principles didn't change. He didn't change his mind. His position was always to fight for the survival of the _world that he lives in._ When he gets to the future, he still sees it as his own world, or, more accurately, the future world is his future self's present. More to the point? Who else could have orchestrated all the events that happened in the movie so they did happen?
7 місяців тому+1
@@ClockworkGearhead I mean why wouldn't he know it's futile to try?
@ He doesn't know that. The movie demonstrates that objects reversing through time force causes to fit their effects (from the perspective of conventional time). It's likely a future inverted world can literally rewrite causes so it can exists as it travels back in time. Also, it's a fact the present world dies no matter what. This isn't a happy ending for the present world whether the future wins or loses. Either they win, and then over time become the future world and dies from pollution, or they lose and the future erases them. Either way, they die.
One of the theory's that i love is that *NEIL* is Kat's son maximi *LIEN* . Which implies that when Max grows up he has to become Neil to protect the world and Priya from killing his mother in the past. Also a fun theory is that Michael Caine's character could possibly be Yves. Anyway this was a awesome quality video, thanks for making stuff like this for my favorite movie.
Heres the problem with that theory. The movie states and shows that inverted time moves at the same speed as conventional time. So Neil would have to stay inverted for like 15 - 20 plus years to be around when he is also a child. Think about it.
I happen to agree that Neil isn’t Max, but he wouldn’t necessarily need to be inverted for 15 straight years; if he goes back and forth regularly, he could more or less stay in the same time period forever.
@@Ryan-the-Rocketeer I happen to agree that Neil isn’t Max, but he wouldn’t necessarily need to be inverted for 15 straight years; if he goes back and forth regularly, he could more or less stay in the same time period forever.
@@nostalgiacliveSo you think Nolan choose the name Maximilen randomly and it just so happens to spell Neil backwards... also Neil knows P extremely well, too well. Look Nolan don't give a F, but he doesn't do random either. Neil is Max 100% but they didn't need to add that twist so didn't bother trying to explain it... There are a number of small details they didn't bother with in this movie but who cares for the most part it all works and is pure genius to pull off. Great vid btw. Also, Neil inverts at the end and doesn't immediately go back to the door.... He goes to the oprah house first, and some theorize he goes back even further in conventional time, reinverts, and gets cast in a teenage vampire movie.
Me too. I like it very much. Some days ago I saw it as part of a Nolan retrospective in a local cinema. At the end I had tears in my eyes and I was not the only one. In the row behind me I heard sobbing during the last scene with Neal and P. I love it and I loved it from the first view onwards (or backwards 😂)
36:16 I like how Inverted P is much more competant towards the end of 'his' fight as he learns more about what it means to be inverted. In normal time Protaganist gets owned when he first meets Inverted P, but towards the end of HIS fight he is doing better.
@@nostalgiaclive I don't understand why this scene manifests in a fight. I see it like this: R-Protagonist is trying to get to the turnstile, while F-Protagonist is trying to prevent him from leaving the building. The net force of this to F-Protagonist would be R-Protagonist accelerating away from him the more he tries to restrain him, before being sucked out of the building, while to R protagonist, F protagonist would be dragging him towards the turnstile as hard as he could. Hence, no fight should have occurred - from each other's perspectives, they both should have been inadvertently facilitating each other's movement, surely? What are your thoughts on this?
@@C.I... the problem with why this results in a fight can be explained by the protagonist's own nature. As pointed out he's cautious and paranoid. He wasn't expecting anyone to know they were going to be here. So from the moment R-Pro exits the turnstyle F-Pro is already attempting to subdue him. So the first thing that happens from his point of view is a stranger bumping into him at full speed while he's holding half of an assembled gun... that's his mistake that causes the fight moving forwards in time. He picks up the discarded gun thereby creating a universe where it must have been disarmed from him in the first place. He doesn't cause the fight to occur since the objects in the fight have reverse entropy but his decision to pickup the weapon means that there was always a fight over a weapon. From the R-Pro POV he goes in with a gun drawn and that's the mistake that causes a fight to happen. The gun ends up in F-Pros hands because of the shockwave of being blasted backwards by the reverse exploding engine. R-PRO knows how the fight went the first time even if he cant remember the exact steps and knows he's paranoid enough to do something stupid so long as he's holding a weapon so from his POV the entire fight isn't just to get to the turnstyle it's to prevent the gun from ending up in his former self's hands intact. So the R-PRO is obligated to provoke a fight moving backwards in time to keep the gun out of his own hands the fact the F-PRO assists in moving him towards his objective doesn't change the very real threat the gun possesses. And finally at the turnstyle he succeeds in disarming it but from the F-Pro POV the gun is being assembled and used to reverse fire bullets into his skull even though from the R-Pro perspective he was unloading it.
@@rockstermaniac Just realised I got it wrong. I had to break it down into two fights happening simultaneously to fix it in my head. In reverse, F protagonist attempting to pull him towards the turnstile to prevent him leaving would be a force pushing R Protagonist away. R protagonist has to push against this. Going fowards, R protagonist's pushing would manifest as a pull to F protagonist, further incentivising a pull from F protagonist. I think the struggle comes from the way it would end up being like trying to get past or pull on a brick wall, as they are both equally strong. Your points still stand, of course - that all makes sense too. I'm going to have to watch it over and over again to try to understand what each of the fight moves exert on each of them from the perspective of their respective time flows :/ What a fun film.
@@C.I... Inverted Protag is also trying to buy time. they tell us he can't enter the turnstile until he sees himself enter on the other side. the moment he saw himself pointing a gun in his face he likely had some general idea of what would happen. inverted isn't really trying to resist as he wants the fight to lead back to the room so I'm not sure if forces really apply for him specifically. their knowledge and goals in this situation are significantly different. F protag has clear intentions to apprehend this unknown and strange person while inverted protag just needs to resist enough to not die from a gunshot as the fight will lead him back to the room. once they are in the room with the turnstile he kept looking to see his other forward self enter.
38:21 "Dad's your grandpa" - absolutely top tier joke, almost spat out my drink as I wasn't expecting it. Lot of great insights from a younger more handsome twin of David Mitchell. Also your red and blue lighting is an awesome subtle touch. Earned a sub, keep up the great work!
Your explanation on the red room, and the blue room makes the most sense out of everyone’s videos. I’ve watched so far. For the past four years, I’ve been bashing my head against the wall. Trying to understand it. Thank you so much. also, I don’t think we will ever fully comprehend this movie through and through because our brains are not designed to think forward and backward at the same time
I like your idea of the final lockpicking scene. Even if the door wasn’t “locked,” it takes the most skilled lock picker to use inversion itself as the lock picking tool
The way that inversion made sense to me was the idea of standing in a river. The water will always flow regardless of which direction you are facing. You're either going with, or against the flow of the water. I don't know if I read this somewhere or came up with it myself, but it makes sense to me.
How the heck hasn’t this gone viral? I swear I’ll need to watch this another 3 .. maybe 10 times before I fully grasp it all, but the work you’ve done is incredible and I love every minute of this.
You deserve more subscribers. It was the best explanation ever anyone gave on tenet. I understood it after watching it more than 10 times but you made some of my confusion clear! Great job.
Guy with over a 100 subs does a video of some of the most complex and brilliant movies, that happens to be one of my favorites years after it released just as I was thinking about it again this morning/ sounds great, keep the great work and on point editing up king
Glad somebody else found Tenet to be as straight-forward as I did. Couldn't figure out what bits confused people so much. Momento? Still not sure I understand most of what's going on. Primer? Took me two watches. Tenet? Got it in one. Subbed, btw.
@@DebraKeyesyour not supposed to use real world logic and physics when watching this movie, Nolan himself even said so, the fact that you have to try to ground movies to reality (unless its animated or a superhero movie im assuming) is extremely disappointing
People just like to overthink and over analyze all the technobabble. Much like any Nolan movie. You can understand his films in one sitting if you just immerse yourself in the world of the movie and not try to place the movie into our world
24:45 the interogation scene is the hardest to understand imo. I think it only works if as you say Sator is CONFIRIMING information, and using his full knowledge of reverse time to interrogate P, but it's very hard to conceptulise.
Yeah, I agree. He asks for confirmation, but he also does things to encourage P to give the initial answer: He threatens “the next one’s a bullet to the head” and counts, but with no intention of actually doing it (because he already hasn’t) but makes that threat so that P will think he will.
Upon finding out that the door was unlocked, Neil would have realized that in order to preserve the timeline he would have to lock it. The timing of that lock would effectively synchronize time with inverted time, allowing a play to be made.
great deconstruction! my memory of Tenet is seeing it on the big screen during the p-demic and really struggling to watch it for the first hour ... but enough sunk in that the entire second half was a massive pay-off to that setup even though i remained confused about characters and timelines etc, motivations and emotions were relatively clear, or cleared up.
...can we start with Tenet Negative 1? Or wait... Inverted... but to invert a number, you swap the numerator and the denominator of the fraction form of it... So 1/1 which equals 1. This already is the inverted version of the movie. Well alright then, I think I have successfully convinced myself that Nolan should invert himself for a few years then finally make Tenet. Let's see if he does/did, shall we?
Tenet only makes any sense from the perspective of the viewer. Consider a bank robbery, where you reverse time, steal a duffle bag full of money from the counter, then leave. From the banks' perspective, there is an empty counter, a guy runs in backwards and sets a duffle bag of money down, then runs out the door again. Where did the dufflebag come from? Same thing with the reverse bullet holes. Did they suddenly appear that morning looper-style, were they built along with the building and nobody noticed?
This is subtly addressed in the movie. The bullet holes appear as the moment when they're made draws closer. Same with the mirror on the BMW. Moments before impact with the Audi it suddenly starts to get cracks in it, before it is "reverse damaged" by the collision.
It's somewhat addressed in the movie, and it supports the theory I have that "The Protagonist," is wrong and killed the world. The "grandfather paradox" is addressed as the reasoning from stopping the global inversion, because a future without a past simply doesn't exist, so its equivalent to killing everyone. But cracks form in mirrors and bullet holes appear. The paradox was solved (at least in this film) as inverted matter _making new causes and circumstances for themselves_ as they regress through time. Most of the time it fits into the usual cause-and-effect of matter, the times it didn't fit in it just made its own causes. In other words, it simply came from nowhere. Neil touches on this when he mentions two time streams pushing against each other. Eventually, all the events of Tenet would simply disappear anyway. Now, the twist here is the Protagonist gets to the future (in the conventional sense), fighting for the "present's" survival, and realizes the "future" world is dying anyway. Pollution. All that fighting to prevent the global inversion simply put into play the world's death, but it's not like the "protagonist's" principles have changed, he still fights for the world's survival _that he exists in._ Who else would know enough about Sator to sent into events of his life? _The Protagnist from the future._ Or, more precisely, _the Antagonist for the present,_ an _inverted Protagonist._ The reason he sent Neil to go save him in the past? Not to save his life, but to _remove Neil as an obstacle to hiding the algorithm._ He was still dressed in uniform, so that means two parts are unified together (if he still retained his piece and collected Neil's afterwards). The soldier with the third piece? He knows where he's going. The Protagonist inverted to Antagonist collected. How do I know this? Who else could have known where to collect it in the first place to tell Sator? And why did the movie end? The future collided into the present and stopped it (edit: the end of the reel/timeline, so to speak), the ultimate meta-statement metaphor about movies, something Nolan is fond of.
My dude! Excellent work! I watched Tenet last night for the tenth time. Still so much to enjoy and get out of it. One of Nolan’s finest 👌 and I love your analysis, the editing, really well done! Thank you for this! ❤
Great (re)production on one of my favourite movies. Not only do you come back on scenes like inversion in the original movie but also the subtle red/blue studio lighting. Well done.
There's one other detail I love about the fight scene between P & himself. If you think about it, wrestling with an inverted person must be super easy. Like, if I'm inverted and I try to push on you, you're going to feel that more like I'm pulling you. Same goes for if you try to push on me. I'm gonna experience that as a pull. So the first time we see the fight, P is just trying to subdue what he believes to be a hostile assailant. He has no goals in terms of location, he just wants this guy restrained. However, when we see the fight a second time, P's goal is to get to the turnstile. He's essentially able to do this with no trouble. There are no detours in the route taken. Inverted P is able to go directly where he wants to go, because normal P is practically dragging him wherever he wants to go. The fight is so utterly insane, and so well thought out, I love it. This movie is riddled with stupid plot holes, but the stuff it does right, it does so absurdly right, I can't bring myself to care. I'm not joking when I say this is my favorite movie of all time, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
So… if someone is inverted and they were talking on an inverted radio… should someone who is not inverted be able to hear them on a non-inverted radio? Because a radio going backward in time should look like it’s absorbing radio waves and not emitting them right? Really there a lots of issues like this, this is just one I noticed
I didn’t think it was confusing, I just thought it was pretentious and boring. It’s like a Calvin Klein commercial masquerading as a sci fi thriller. I usually like Chris Nolan movies but this was one was just shooting too hard to provide the Chris Nolan prestige, and that posturing was distracting rather than complimentary to the storytelling.
I love your humour and intelligent analysis. I feel like I learned something while also being simply entertained for the length of the video. Great content!
This way this movie racks the brain is the main reason it is on my “Mt. Rushmore” of all time favs. The level of detail both cinematic and storytelling Nolan provides is amazing. Thanks for giving this movie your flavor and level of deep dive! Great breakdown. I subbed and I’m looking forward to more👍🏾
@TruSigma712 Thank you for your kind words! I do feel like, since there's so much to unpack, that the movie offers a little bit more each time I see it.
You forgot to add that her son is Niel. There are so many clear hints and bread crumbs that Nola left to let the audience know that he is the Niel that will spend year growing up with the protagonist. His mother and himself was saved by the protagonist, thusly leading to him sacrificing himself for "P" as a thank you in the end of the movie
I’ve watched so many UA-cam movie breakdown videos and rarely have I seen any compared to this one. Incredible work! And I think I actually understand the movie a bit more.😂😂
@nomiretrying1451 I appreciate your comment! Engaging with my viewers is important to me. I'm here to assist with a wide range of tasks, answer questions, and generate ideas. How can I help you today?
This movie was so underrated and I think missed by the general public because it requires the viewer to really think to understand what is happening. A nice break from movies force feeding everything to the viewer. I think it’s complexity is why it is see a slight revival.
Bro thank you so much for noticing and highlighting the scientist at the beginning telling the protagonist to not try understanding it, that’s Nolan speaking directly to us. If you “just watch it” without thinking, it’s awesome.
I've never seen your channel before but I've been dying for some good Tenet content as the film is just loaded to the brim with UA-cam content like scene analysis and deconstruction. This is a great video, love your set, production and style. Keep it up man, you have the tools to go far.
i'll tell you this. your explanations made sense to me in like 30-40% of times, so i basically understood less than half of what you explained. but just like you said in the end, i was just captivated by the video and still enjoyed watching it, like.
Surprised to see so few subs. Guess you're just starting out. I enjoyed every second. I'm sure your numbers will explode just like my mind just did. Subscribed
The algorithm (the YT one I mean) is working against the video here. Because of the swearing the video gets less exposure. That’s why many YTers bleep out their F’s.. Give it a try next time. It’s a video that should have done 2, 300k easy. It really is that good.
I have so many people I need to share this with that liked the esthetics but struggled to grasp the concept of inversion which turned them off from this incredible film. Great job man! Subscribed!
So after your 1 millionth sub, you entered the turnstyle, inverted, came back to around 10 days ago (According to UA-cam at least), re-inverted, made and uploaded the video which went viral and gave your channel a huge boost! Well played sir!
I love tenet and its complexities and every time I try to show a friend the movie they walk away completely dissatisfied. You were able to put words to my thoughts brilliantly. Thank you
I am so happy you did this. I wanted to do this quite a few years ago when I made my video on how to shoot a scene like tenet. However, I did not have the time to put together a full analysis and breakdown like you did. Excellent job.
Thanks for this video, although long its the best at just straight forward EXPLAINING and connecting certain points of dialogue that we missed during viewings, very high quality video!
I think I’ve watched your video more times than I’ve watched TENET. Not because I don’t understand it, I just really enjoy it. It because my comfort thing to watch. Really great stuff. I love your Planet of the Apes video too.
Man. GREAT job on this. Popped up on my recommended videos (speaking of The Algorithm) definitely because of all the Tenet related videos I've watched over these past few years. I think about this movie all of the time. When those thought trails start to be all-consuming and my social life suffers, I watch the movie again- then watch a bunch of UA-cam Tenet videos again. Then I can sleep and go on living my life until I start thinking about "But if Neil is Maximilien.... and Yves is Michael Caine...." You get it. Phenomenal job not just articulating plot points and theories but your writing, pacing, loads of homework and editing. Love this very much and am so pumped to know there are other Tenet sickos out there
Thank you so much my man, that means a lot to me 🙏🏻⭐️ And I can absolutely relate to that level of obsessive thought 😂 Also… controversial opinion… I don’t think Neil is Max or Ives is Michael Caine 😬
This is amazing. Genuinely top tier content, well present, great personality, funny in the right way, and also a great deconstruction and analysis of a film. I would genuinely love to see more of this, and hope this channel grows as we need more content like this on UA-cam.
Honestly, while watching the video i had no idea that youve had 5k subs. The pfp, the editing, your loosnes infront of the camera all gave off an impression that this is a multi million subscriber channel. Hats off to you my good sir, keep it going and looking forward to your next videos!
Really, really well done video. My theory on Neil unlocking the hypocenter door: it’s a time lock (fitting) with a numeric keypad. At the conclusion of the film, Neil and Ives leave in the same Chinook chopper where presumably Neil prepares to invert one final time to save the day. Ives relays what he knows/saw re: the lock before he was knocked out and Neil uses that info to quickly unlock it, but because he’s inverted, and he finds the door open, he has to actually lock it. He picks/hacks the lock, then shuts it as he faces Volkov preparing to take the bullet to the face. Then the time lock activates. From P’s forward prospective, however, the door is unlocked and the events described unfold in reverse.
Thank you very much Dude, I appreciate it 🙏🏻 And yeah, that sounds about right. I hadn’t thought of him reconnecting with Ives before heading back in, but that could very well have happened 😲
I do think the key is he's unlocking a inverted door (from his perspective). So the door would unlock when he approaches it as long as he can then "pick" it to "lock" it. This is what we see him doing when he's off to the side with the door for a long time. You have to think about things like the puddle where it splashes before he steps in it.
@@dolphycjYep. Neil's made it very clear that he believes that things can only happen in the way they've already happened, and once he finds out that the door was closed and then had to be opened, he knew he had to go and do it. It would mean he'd have to close an open door while inverted for the closed door to open in normal time.
Gonna be honest I thought this channel had 2.13M subs not K and was like "yea I must've just not seen this guy before" Bonkers production quality, keep it up!
I have been watching UA-cam videos for many years now, just like many of us. But this is by far one of the best videos I have ever watched. I wish there were multiple like buttons. Love it. I just love the way you have explained things. Thank You

@@_KNamaN_ That’s a great idea, I’ve seen Dark multiple times and would love to cover it. I agree Tenet’s underrated. What would you say makes its story one of the best?
@@nostalgiaclive Well it's simple one of the best because of how Nolan portrayed Time-Travel in a never seen/imagined form. And then he even managed to write an entire screenplay out of it without being generic or having a bad ending. Many people say that movies lack emotions but they are wrong, it has lot of emotions. The chemistry between The Protagonist and Niel, Protagonist and Kat is simply lovely. The movie shows how the Protagonist is experiencing this changing world and by the end how he has evolved and has more confidence and faith in others. The movie's ending when Niel leaves the field literally made my eyes watery.
Dedication to make a well paced video like this on such an intricate film while balancing being informative yet not getting lost in the details earns an instant bell sub. Great video dude.

I took a few edibles before seeing this in theaters and I honestly couldn't tell you what it was about but for whatever reason I had an absolute blast watching it. I've never had that experience with a movie before. Instead of trying to understand wtf was going on, I just went along for the ride and it was one of my better theater experiences
Damn dude, that's pretty genius. I won't say I'm trying that next time I watch a convoluted movie, but I'm definitely trying that next time I watch a convoluted movie.
Watched it high in cinema and had similar experience - just feeling floored by the action and good pacing. Understanding came after the 3rd watch.
Oh my god I did the same. I was absolutely beyond understanding anything but had an absolute blast. I haven't rewatched it and I don't know if I want to. I can't really say I 'like' the movie because I've never understood it while watching it, but I sure did enjoy watching Tenet.
I did the same thing with Puss in Boots 2. I did it because it’s a kids movie and I was expecting it to suck. Ended up not remembering the film at but I remember feeling all the right emotions during the watch. Had to be told by my friends later how good it actually was
My buddy and I ate some shrooms before seeing it at the theater! We understood it but were still confused asf 😂😂😂
I love how challenging this movie is when you try to make sense of every aspect of it, but simultaneously how entertaining and exciting it is when you just watch it without trying to understand everything. This movie is so hard to pull off and I just love it exists. Few movies make me feel like I'm watching it for the first time like Tenet does every time I watch it.

Went from 100 to 6000 in a month...
Ignorance is our ammunation here. So, I can't reveal what Nostalgiac is gonna achieve in his conventional quest.
The point of "knowledge divided" is slightly more than just trust issues. That's certainly part of it. Future P who founds TENET has learned ANY information can be passed on to "posterity", which is the Antagonist. Dividing up the information makes it hard to collect and save for posterity to learn about.
Any time P does something that will be recorded in a newspaper or police report, Sator knows about it already because posterity knows from the records and will have told him.
Posterity is not even aware that the hypocenter got attacked, because the explosion that was reported was their plan to bury the algorithm, and nothing about the operation was saved in records.
The protagonist of the present is the antagonist from the future (or from the future's perspective, the antagonist from the past is the protagonist of the future). I honestly thought Nolan was being extremely on-the-nose with calling the process of going backwards through time "inversion" (and literally having the Protagonist fight himself in the same scene, hence making him his own antagonist) since it can be applied to character roles, but here we are. I haven't seen anyone else notice.
@@ClockworkGearhead interesting idea but I don't think it works. The Protagonist goes through all that, understands that whatever happened has happend and later decides to fight himself anyway?
@ Correct. His principles didn't change. He didn't change his mind. His position was always to fight for the survival of the _world that he lives in._ When he gets to the future, he still sees it as his own world, or, more accurately, the future world is his future self's present.
More to the point? Who else could have orchestrated all the events that happened in the movie so they did happen?
@@ClockworkGearhead I mean why wouldn't he know it's futile to try?
@ He doesn't know that. The movie demonstrates that objects reversing through time force causes to fit their effects (from the perspective of conventional time). It's likely a future inverted world can literally rewrite causes so it can exists as it travels back in time.
Also, it's a fact the present world dies no matter what. This isn't a happy ending for the present world whether the future wins or loses. Either they win, and then over time become the future world and dies from pollution, or they lose and the future erases them. Either way, they die.
One of the theory's that i love is that *NEIL* is Kat's son maximi *LIEN* . Which implies that when Max grows up he has to become Neil to protect the world and Priya from killing his mother in the past. Also a fun theory is that Michael Caine's character could possibly be Yves.
Anyway this was a awesome quality video, thanks for making stuff like this for my favorite movie.
Yeah, the backwards spelling of Maximilien is compelling 🤔 Never heard the Ives = Michael theory before!
Thank you for your kind words! ⭐
Heres the problem with that theory. The movie states and shows that inverted time moves at the same speed as conventional time. So Neil would have to stay inverted for like 15 - 20 plus years to be around when he is also a child. Think about it.
I happen to agree that Neil isn’t Max, but he wouldn’t necessarily need to be inverted for 15 straight years; if he goes back and forth regularly, he could more or less stay in the same time period forever.
@@Ryan-the-Rocketeer I happen to agree that Neil isn’t Max, but he wouldn’t necessarily need to be inverted for 15 straight years; if he goes back and forth regularly, he could more or less stay in the same time period forever.
@@nostalgiacliveSo you think Nolan choose the name Maximilen randomly and it just so happens to spell Neil backwards... also Neil knows P extremely well, too well. Look Nolan don't give a F, but he doesn't do random either. Neil is Max 100% but they didn't need to add that twist so didn't bother trying to explain it... There are a number of small details they didn't bother with in this movie but who cares for the most part it all works and is pure genius to pull off. Great vid btw. Also, Neil inverts at the end and doesn't immediately go back to the door.... He goes to the oprah house first, and some theorize he goes back even further in conventional time, reinverts, and gets cast in a teenage vampire movie.
this was impressively high production quality, great editing, the whole nine. I hope to see more of this content!
Thank you so much! More on the way 🤫
I'm just glad someone out there loves this movie as much as I do.
Hell yeah brother 🤙🏻
it's honestly my favorite nolan movie. and i love that it's a buddy film at its core
This movie was terrible
Me too. I like it very much. Some days ago I saw it as part of a Nolan retrospective in a local cinema. At the end I had tears in my eyes and I was not the only one. In the row behind me I heard sobbing during the last scene with Neal and P. I love it and I loved it from the first view onwards (or backwards 😂)
Real
the coordination this film must have taken is immense and to even create the story
My god, tell me about it 😮💨
Went to look at the other videos on this channel and shocked to see it’s not one of the big cinematography UA-cam channels. This will surely grow
Appreciate you ⭐
36:16 I like how Inverted P is much more competant towards the end of 'his' fight as he learns more about what it means to be inverted. In normal time Protaganist gets owned when he first meets Inverted P, but towards the end of HIS fight he is doing better.
Yeah, he does seem to be catching on when he fires off the rounds and deconstructs the gun for sure.
@@nostalgiaclive I don't understand why this scene manifests in a fight.
I see it like this:
R-Protagonist is trying to get to the turnstile, while F-Protagonist is trying to prevent him from leaving the building. The net force of this to F-Protagonist would be R-Protagonist accelerating away from him the more he tries to restrain him, before being sucked out of the building, while to R protagonist, F protagonist would be dragging him towards the turnstile as hard as he could. Hence, no fight should have occurred - from each other's perspectives, they both should have been inadvertently facilitating each other's movement, surely?
What are your thoughts on this?
@@C.I... the problem with why this results in a fight can be explained by the protagonist's own nature. As pointed out he's cautious and paranoid. He wasn't expecting anyone to know they were going to be here. So from the moment R-Pro exits the turnstyle F-Pro is already attempting to subdue him. So the first thing that happens from his point of view is a stranger bumping into him at full speed while he's holding half of an assembled gun... that's his mistake that causes the fight moving forwards in time. He picks up the discarded gun thereby creating a universe where it must have been disarmed from him in the first place. He doesn't cause the fight to occur since the objects in the fight have reverse entropy but his decision to pickup the weapon means that there was always a fight over a weapon.
From the R-Pro POV he goes in with a gun drawn and that's the mistake that causes a fight to happen. The gun ends up in F-Pros hands because of the shockwave of being blasted backwards by the reverse exploding engine. R-PRO knows how the fight went the first time even if he cant remember the exact steps and knows he's paranoid enough to do something stupid so long as he's holding a weapon so from his POV the entire fight isn't just to get to the turnstyle it's to prevent the gun from ending up in his former self's hands intact. So the R-PRO is obligated to provoke a fight moving backwards in time to keep the gun out of his own hands the fact the F-PRO assists in moving him towards his objective doesn't change the very real threat the gun possesses.
And finally at the turnstyle he succeeds in disarming it but from the F-Pro POV the gun is being assembled and used to reverse fire bullets into his skull even though from the R-Pro perspective he was unloading it.
@@rockstermaniac Just realised I got it wrong. I had to break it down into two fights happening simultaneously to fix it in my head.
In reverse, F protagonist attempting to pull him towards the turnstile to prevent him leaving would be a force pushing R Protagonist away. R protagonist has to push against this.
Going fowards, R protagonist's pushing would manifest as a pull to F protagonist, further incentivising a pull from F protagonist.
I think the struggle comes from the way it would end up being like trying to get past or pull on a brick wall, as they are both equally strong.
Your points still stand, of course - that all makes sense too.
I'm going to have to watch it over and over again to try to understand what each of the fight moves exert on each of them from the perspective of their respective time flows :/
What a fun film.
@@C.I... Inverted Protag is also trying to buy time. they tell us he can't enter the turnstile until he sees himself enter on the other side. the moment he saw himself pointing a gun in his face he likely had some general idea of what would happen. inverted isn't really trying to resist as he wants the fight to lead back to the room so I'm not sure if forces really apply for him specifically. their knowledge and goals in this situation are significantly different. F protag has clear intentions to apprehend this unknown and strange person while inverted protag just needs to resist enough to not die from a gunshot as the fight will lead him back to the room. once they are in the room with the turnstile he kept looking to see his other forward self enter.
38:21 "Dad's your grandpa" - absolutely top tier joke, almost spat out my drink as I wasn't expecting it.
Lot of great insights from a younger more handsome twin of David Mitchell. Also your red and blue lighting is an awesome subtle touch. Earned a sub, keep up the great work!
I really appreciate it, thank you!
Your explanation on the red room, and the blue room makes the most sense out of everyone’s videos. I’ve watched so far. For the past four years, I’ve been bashing my head against the wall. Trying to understand it. Thank you so much. also, I don’t think we will ever fully comprehend this movie through and through because our brains are not designed to think forward and backward at the same time
Thank you my friend, I’m glad to hear it ⭐️
And agreed, there’s only so far we can take it before we can’t comprehend it anymore.
I like your idea of the final lockpicking scene. Even if the door wasn’t “locked,” it takes the most skilled lock picker to use inversion itself as the lock picking tool
The way that inversion made sense to me was the idea of standing in a river. The water will always flow regardless of which direction you are facing. You're either going with, or against the flow of the water.
I don't know if I read this somewhere or came up with it myself, but it makes sense to me.
Solid.
Best breakdown of tenet I’ve seen so far!!!!!!
Wow, thank you so much, very kind words my friend ⭐😊
why would you need a breakdown of a stupid action film?
How the heck hasn’t this gone viral? I swear I’ll need to watch this another 3 .. maybe 10 times before I fully grasp it all, but the work you’ve done is incredible and I love every minute of this.
Haha that's so awesome of you to say, thank you!⭐
Couldn't agree more. Watching now for the fifth time.
im still baffled
bro, you are seriously underrated…first time watcher. This is fantastic. kudos!!!!
I really appreciate that, thank you! Stay tuned!

Tenet? Got it in one.
Subbed, btw.
I'm glad at least someone is still talking about this movie. I felt like I was the only one obsessed with Tenet when it first came out
Hell yeah 😎
I feel very smart for being able to understand tenet because some people talk about it like it’s impossible
It's no way to understand this movie using actual logic and physics..
@@DebraKeyesyour not supposed to use real world logic and physics when watching this movie, Nolan himself even said so, the fact that you have to try to ground movies to reality (unless its animated or a superhero movie im assuming) is extremely disappointing
People just like to overthink and over analyze all the technobabble. Much like any Nolan movie. You can understand his films in one sitting if you just immerse yourself in the world of the movie and not try to place the movie into our world
@anonymous5401 the MCU exists...
No way I will ever be able to comprehend every scene)) I guess it means I am retarded)) but what can I do?)
24:45 the interogation scene is the hardest to understand imo.
I think it only works if as you say Sator is CONFIRIMING information, and using his full knowledge of reverse time to interrogate P, but it's very hard to conceptulise.
Yeah, I agree.
He asks for confirmation, but he also does things to encourage P to give the initial answer: He threatens “the next one’s a bullet to the head” and counts, but with no intention of actually doing it (because he already hasn’t) but makes that threat so that P will think he will.
@@nostalgiacliveExactly.
Hot damn, your channel is about to explode. Well done on this video. Looking forward to more film/game analysis.
I appreciate you, thank you!
Upon finding out that the door was unlocked, Neil would have realized that in order to preserve the timeline he would have to lock it. The timing of that lock would effectively synchronize time with inverted time, allowing a play to be made.
great deconstruction! my memory of Tenet is seeing it on the big screen during the p-demic and really struggling to watch it for the first hour ... but enough sunk in that the entire second half was a massive pay-off to that setup even though i remained confused about characters and timelines etc, motivations and emotions were relatively clear, or cleared up.
Now all you need is Nolan to make Tenet 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 etc for this channel to blow up
🤞
And they can be made in any order.
Haha so true
Haa I came in here to reply something daft like they will be backwards or something as well 😂
...can we start with Tenet Negative 1? Or wait... Inverted... but to invert a number, you swap the numerator and the denominator of the fraction form of it... So 1/1 which equals 1. This already is the inverted version of the movie.
Well alright then, I think I have successfully convinced myself that Nolan should invert himself for a few years then finally make Tenet. Let's see if he does/did, shall we?
Really love your humor and editing. Both stay fresh and snappy throughout the video. Subscribed and I hope to see more!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that ☺️
Tenet only makes any sense from the perspective of the viewer. Consider a bank robbery, where you reverse time, steal a duffle bag full of money from the counter, then leave. From the banks' perspective, there is an empty counter, a guy runs in backwards and sets a duffle bag of money down, then runs out the door again. Where did the dufflebag come from? Same thing with the reverse bullet holes. Did they suddenly appear that morning looper-style, were they built along with the building and nobody noticed?
This is subtly addressed in the movie. The bullet holes appear as the moment when they're made draws closer. Same with the mirror on the BMW. Moments before impact with the Audi it suddenly starts to get cracks in it, before it is "reverse damaged" by the collision.
It's somewhat addressed in the movie, and it supports the theory I have that "The Protagonist," is wrong and killed the world.
The "grandfather paradox" is addressed as the reasoning from stopping the global inversion, because a future without a past simply doesn't exist, so its equivalent to killing everyone. But cracks form in mirrors and bullet holes appear. The paradox was solved (at least in this film) as inverted matter _making new causes and circumstances for themselves_ as they regress through time. Most of the time it fits into the usual cause-and-effect of matter, the times it didn't fit in it just made its own causes. In other words, it simply came from nowhere. Neil touches on this when he mentions two time streams pushing against each other. Eventually, all the events of Tenet would simply disappear anyway.
Now, the twist here is the Protagonist gets to the future (in the conventional sense), fighting for the "present's" survival, and realizes the "future" world is dying anyway. Pollution. All that fighting to prevent the global inversion simply put into play the world's death, but it's not like the "protagonist's" principles have changed, he still fights for the world's survival _that he exists in._
Who else would know enough about Sator to sent into events of his life? _The Protagnist from the future._
Or, more precisely, _the Antagonist for the present,_ an _inverted Protagonist._ The reason he sent Neil to go save him in the past? Not to save his life, but to _remove Neil as an obstacle to hiding the algorithm._ He was still dressed in uniform, so that means two parts are unified together (if he still retained his piece and collected Neil's afterwards). The soldier with the third piece? He knows where he's going. The Protagonist inverted to Antagonist collected. How do I know this? Who else could have known where to collect it in the first place to tell Sator?
And why did the movie end?
The future collided into the present and stopped it (edit: the end of the reel/timeline, so to speak), the ultimate meta-statement metaphor about movies, something Nolan is fond of.
@@ClockworkGearhead Bro, that is the most amazing theory I heard about Tenet
@@ClockworkGearheadis there any clue to pollution ending the world in the movie?
@@Frodo1000000 It's the future's entire motivation for global inversion. Neil himself pointed it out.
My dude! Excellent work! I watched Tenet last night for the tenth time. Still so much to enjoy and get out of it. One of Nolan’s finest 👌 and I love your analysis, the editing, really well done! Thank you for this! ❤

Great (re)production on one of my favourite movies. Not only do you come back on scenes like inversion in the original movie but also the subtle red/blue studio lighting. Well done.
Thank you very much sir, much appreciated! ⭐
There's one other detail I love about the fight scene between P & himself. If you think about it, wrestling with an inverted person must be super easy. Like, if I'm inverted and I try to push on you, you're going to feel that more like I'm pulling you. Same goes for if you try to push on me. I'm gonna experience that as a pull.
So the first time we see the fight, P is just trying to subdue what he believes to be a hostile assailant. He has no goals in terms of location, he just wants this guy restrained. However, when we see the fight a second time, P's goal is to get to the turnstile. He's essentially able to do this with no trouble. There are no detours in the route taken. Inverted P is able to go directly where he wants to go, because normal P is practically dragging him wherever he wants to go.
The fight is so utterly insane, and so well thought out, I love it. This movie is riddled with stupid plot holes, but the stuff it does right, it does so absurdly right, I can't bring myself to care. I'm not joking when I say this is my favorite movie of all time, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
So… if someone is inverted and they were talking on an inverted radio… should someone who is not inverted be able to hear them on a non-inverted radio? Because a radio going backward in time should look like it’s absorbing radio waves and not emitting them right? Really there a lots of issues like this, this is just one I noticed
@@gumbilicious1 The radio itself isn’t inverted, just the person
I didn’t think it was confusing, I just thought it was pretentious and boring. It’s like a Calvin Klein commercial masquerading as a sci fi thriller. I usually like Chris Nolan movies but this was one was just shooting too hard to provide the Chris Nolan prestige, and that posturing was distracting rather than complimentary to the storytelling.
I love your humour and intelligent analysis. I feel like I learned something while also being simply entertained for the length of the video. Great content!
Thanks you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed it ☺️⭐️
This way this movie racks the brain is the main reason it is on my “Mt. Rushmore” of all time favs. The level of detail both cinematic and storytelling Nolan provides is amazing.

Facts, mine too, even now there are thought communities trying to answer what it all means
@TruSigma712 Thank you for your kind words! I do feel like, since there's so much to unpack, that the movie offers a little bit more each time I see it.
You forgot to add that her son is Niel. There are so many clear hints and bread crumbs that Nola left to let the audience know that he is the Niel that will spend year growing up with the protagonist. His mother and himself was saved by the protagonist, thusly leading to him sacrificing himself for "P" as a thank you in the end of the movie
Didn’t forget 😉
I personally don’t believe that, but a lot of people certainly do.
@@nostalgiaclive fair enough good sir! Great video none the less
If you need 47 minutes to explain why the movie is "straightforward", it probably isn't.

Man. GREAT job on this. Popped up on my recommended videos (speaking of The Algorithm) definitely because of all the Tenet related videos I've watched over these past few years. I think about this movie all of the time. When those thought trails start to be all-consuming and my social life suffers, I watch the movie again- then watch a bunch of UA-cam Tenet videos again. Then I can sleep and go on living my life until I start thinking about "But if Neil is Maximilien.... and Yves is Michael Caine...."
You get it.
Phenomenal job not just articulating plot points and theories but your writing, pacing, loads of homework and editing. Love this very much and am so pumped to know there are other Tenet sickos out there
Thank you so much my man, that means a lot to me 🙏🏻⭐️
And I can absolutely relate to that level of obsessive thought 😂
Also… controversial opinion… I don’t think Neil is Max or Ives is Michael Caine 😬

Nolan grasp of time travel stuff always amazed me. I love when I can watch movie couple of times and appreciate it more every time.

Thank you my friend, I really appreciate that ⭐️😊
Really, really well done video. My theory on Neil unlocking the hypocenter door: it’s a time lock (fitting) with a numeric keypad. At the conclusion of the film, Neil and Ives leave in the same Chinook chopper where presumably Neil prepares to invert one final time to save the day. Ives relays what he knows/saw re: the lock before he was knocked out and Neil uses that info to quickly unlock it, but because he’s inverted, and he finds the door open, he has to actually lock it. He picks/hacks the lock, then shuts it as he faces Volkov preparing to take the bullet to the face. Then the time lock activates. From P’s forward prospective, however, the door is unlocked and the events described unfold in reverse.
Thank you very much Dude, I appreciate it 🙏🏻
And yeah, that sounds about right. I hadn’t thought of him reconnecting with Ives before heading back in, but that could very well have happened 😲
I do think the key is he's unlocking a inverted door (from his perspective). So the door would unlock when he approaches it as long as he can then "pick" it to "lock" it. This is what we see him doing when he's off to the side with the door for a long time. You have to think about things like the puddle where it splashes before he steps in it.
@@dolphycjYep. Neil's made it very clear that he believes that things can only happen in the way they've already happened, and once he finds out that the door was closed and then had to be opened, he knew he had to go and do it. It would mean he'd have to close an open door while inverted for the closed door to open in normal time.
Gonna be honest I thought this channel had 2.13M subs not K and was like "yea I must've just not seen this guy before"
Bonkers production quality, keep it up!
Maybe one day! 🥹🤞🏻
Thanks so much! ⭐️
After 4 years and watching countless video breakdowns. I feel confident I understand about 70% of what TENET is trying to tell me.
this might be the best movie theory/explanation ive ever seen AND its the hardest movie to do it with....
I greatly appreciate that, thank you ⭐
Excellent analysis, I rewatched this film for a week straight everyday after work.
44:28 I think it’s exactly as you’ve pointed out, “just have to feel it” and the “feel” is that he unlocked it.
I have been watching UA-cam videos for many years now, just like many of us. But this is by far one of the best videos I have ever watched. I wish there were multiple like buttons. Love it. I just love the way you have explained things. Thank You
That is so incredibly kind of you, thank you my friend ☺️⭐️🙏🏻
Any suggestions on what else you’d like to see me cover?
@@nostalgiaclive You should make a video on DARK. it's also great. After viewing this video, I re watched TENET today. And now I guess the comment section is correct. One should watch explanation again before the movie. 🙃 I also realised it so much underrated it is, it's story is one of the best to be written. You have to agree.
@@_KNamaN_ That’s a great idea, I’ve seen Dark multiple times and would love to cover it.
I agree Tenet’s underrated.
What would you say makes its story one of the best?
@@nostalgiaclive Well it's simple one of the best because of how Nolan portrayed Time-Travel in a never seen/imagined form. And then he even managed to write an entire screenplay out of it without being generic or having a bad ending. Many people say that movies lack emotions but they are wrong, it has lot of emotions. The chemistry between The Protagonist and Niel, Protagonist and Kat is simply lovely. The movie shows how the Protagonist is experiencing this changing world and by the end how he has evolved and has more confidence and faith in others. The movie's ending when Niel leaves the field literally made my eyes watery.
Dedication to make a well paced video like this on such an intricate film while balancing being informative yet not getting lost in the details earns an instant bell sub.
Great video dude.
Thank you so much! That was definitely one of the main challenges, so I appreciate that.
Superb video man! Must of taken a while to put it all together. Probably the best video I have seen to simplify Tenet!
Much appreciated, thank you! 🙏🏻
Dude, this great work. Really great. Funny, inciteful, helpful, great editing. Well done. Subbbed. Please do more, you have talent. 🎉
Thank you so much ⭐️ Very kind of you to say ☺️
New video coming out very soon!
