    Erik here! To those venturing down into the comment section of this video, be warned, if you have not seen Tenet, you may accidentally scroll past a SPOILER for the film. We've done our best to make sure the video title, thumbnail, and opening moments do not outright spoil any major plot points. But we cannot guarantee the comments on the video won't be so careful in their discussion of the film's timeline. Tread carefully and we'll see you after you see Tenet!

    I have to give mad props to Nolan for being able to put together and work such intertwined, yet individual timelines for all major characters. I also have to give YOU props for being able to understand and decrypt them all for us with this great vid! In the end, if Nolan decides to push the mindfreak complexity factor much past this is his future films, he may very well lose many of his fans. If it takes watching the film, watching an explanatory video, then rewatching the film again two or three more times before it starts to come together in your head, I’m betting most people won’t pay that price to recognize the genius in the plot and layout.

    Makes me wonder how far back in time the Protagonist went to start Tenet. It seems the inversion goes at the same rate as forward timeline without a possibility to ‘jump’ between time so you cannot go back to ‘real time’ at all. Therefore, the protagonist had to wait for Max/Neil to grow old enough to recruit him then stay inverted long enough to go far back to start and grow the organization before the Kyiv/Stalsk-12 showdown.

    Upon watching the film again, I realized that the organization doesn’t need to exist past the end of the film.

The prior operations could have been trying to direct Sator to the other 8 pieces of the algorithm.

    the only thing I found confusing was the bullet paradox. If you're hit by an inverted bullet, why do you suffer from an injury after the impact (before, in the bullet's timeline) and why do you only start feeling the injury moments before the impact, instead of your whole life ?

    • @Gehir

      Because the bullet has inverted causality from the person's POV, but not the person. The person's inversed from the bullet POV.
      What you said would make sense if we saw a person and a bullet, both inverted, interact from our POV, and we weren't inversed ourselves.

      No. He just makes the storyline and scenes bamboozlingly complex and overdramatized with philosophical dialogue to confused everyone. In actual fact if you had a PhD in physics you still wouldn’t understand it because inverting the entropy isn’t possible unless you’re able to control every atom in the universe . Every single piece of matter and point is connected and linked by cause and effect. You can’t reverse the entropy of individual objects or people. You would need to reverse the laws of physics, all forces etc too etc. It’s just possible. But sure, makes for an interesting movie if your brain doesn’t ruin it.

    Small thing I suppose but... the turnstiles are not "pincers". The "Pincer Maneuver" is the name given to the type of operation that starts from both "sides" of time and meets in the middle. It's what Sator is doing to always be a step ahead of everyone, but he doesn't know that it's *also* what the Protagonist is doing but on a "wider" timeline.

    So if it wasn't for Neil inverting to the past, the protagonist would die at the opera. However, it's because of the protagonist that Neil is able to invert as they know each other in the future. So how can the effect (Neil saving the protagonist) come before the cause (the protagonist making tenet and recruiting Neil) in the sequence?
    Put another way, how can I travel back in time to save myself from death when I wouldn't be alive in the first place to be able to travel back?

So this means that a version of you will always be saved by a future version of you and that same version of you will always travel back in time to save a younger version of you. The loop was always meant to happen so that the timeline ensures it's existence in the future

    I just finished and came here to see if I caught on. I did a pretty good job understanding what was going on only because I could see time travel being just like this. The one thing I missed? Never thought the kid was Neil. Wow! And just to say John David Washington is going to be a great actor like his dad!

    Honestly Neil dedication truly out of this world. Think about it, Tenet time traveling is not something like an usual time traveling where you go "*poof* hey, we were in 2013" or something like that. Each second is inverted, so if his identity were Max then it mean he invert himself for decades while not in contact with anyone presumably in some kind of facility with turning machine where absolutely no one even know it exists.
    Imagine it, assume you being alive for like 30 years and have to invert yourself for approximately two decades with no one to talk to? And even when you done with the waiting, there is no one on earth knows about you? Not your mother, not your colleagues, not anyone. Yeah, that just like hell on earth way of life he experience.

      Nolan might have known that we would be getting covid so he did a temporal pincer movement in order to produce said movie. Laymen terms: he knew the future so he went back to the past in order to create Tenet in the future.
