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!
This movie. Is. Absolutely. Incredible.
I saw it 3 times. And im going again and again and again until I got it down. I cannot let this go to vod until I've understood it
Wow!!! Good work!!! Very good video!!! The best hands down I have seen this movie explained so far!!!
How often did you see the movie?
Q Lo
Dark : it is difficult to understand
Inception: hold my beer
Tenet : beer my hold
reeb ym dloh
Tgat us indeed genius 😀
🤣🤣🤣
Hold your own beer
Nolan's Memento is a mind bender as well. There's a video of Nolan explaining Memento and it is mind boggling. A lot of planning goes into such ideas and I feel the payoff is rewarding because the films are astoundingly unique.
After watching this I realised that Inception was a piece of cake to understand.
My brain is fucked
hahahahaha! 😂
Inception was super easy to understand but this!!! Its been a week and m looking for answers!! My head hurts
@@sukiratgrewal I watched this movie today and I was confused to the bone.
For me this is the only movie that topped my list above Inception. But inception is more than a movie, it's an emotion. Can't beat that.
Saw this movie for the 2nd time today. Will see it for the 1st time tomorrow.
Haha.
*reads comment*
!aaHaaH
Can't wait to see this comment for the first time
One of the best comments I read ever! - I will become wealthy
I am going to come across this comment in exact 342 days, I'll drop a like then
I love when Neil knows what drink the protagonist likes. At first it just seems like Neil did a lot of reading up on the protagonist’s file, when in reality it’s because they’re best friends. The protagonist just doesn’t know it yet.
Instead of an Oscar, I think Nolan was going for a PhD.
Lmao
Deadly lmfao
Well he wasn't going for box office hits. Bazinga!
LoL! 😂
😂
If they make a second tenet movie of protagonist recruiting neil it will simultaneously be the sequel and prequel for this movie 🤯
Mind = Blown, unless, my mind is unblowing? (Inception horn)
Would watch
Damnnnnnnnnn
This is facts

I walked out the theater backwards just to troll people
Madlad
Thought i was the only one
Me 2
Considering they watched the movie, it would have been troll walking into the movie backwards.
@@DarkJak don't give me any ideas😂😂😂
Just rewatched this movie last night. Will watch it for the 1st time last year.Robert Pattinson is a phenomenal actor and I hope he doesn't get fantasy roles, like vampires, in the past.
or like a crime fighting hero 10 years before now
damn
What’s up with Pattinson and bats.
This comment was soo good
Yes, you won
I feel like Nolan had to explain the context of every scene like 10 times to each actor, and even then they were thinking “I’ll just do my lines and make this look cool”
Sadly it seems like this is what actually happened given the actors have expressed that they didn't understand the movie and just trusted his vision
Haha, like Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd in Trading Places. He said he just did the lines but couldn't understand a thing about trading.
Hahahaha
Probably why the dialogue felt so wooden from literally every actor. The poor script probably played a part in that too though.
The editors must have had a hell of a time.
What I got from this movie
“Don’t try to understand it, just feel it”
When that bass kicks in during the truck heist, you best believe I felt it in the IMAX theater.
@@TheREALJohnL I was at the very top row of the theater and let me tell you... my soul was knocked of my body when that sequence played
I’m going to watch it in Dolby and am a bit scared for my health
John G same here. I sure missed the theater
@@legrandhanf saw it in imax and dolby. the bass just fills you. you will literally vibrate. I had a water bottle next to me and that was shaking like a motherfucker in the truck heist John was talking about.
Me finally understands "inception"*
Nolan: hold my script
LMAO this movie was wayyy crazier than inception imo
Perfect!
Try "Memento", understand the whole plot in the first time.
Okay!!!! Lol lol
LMFAOOO YUP😂😂😂😂
The ending to this got me. Knowing your best friend is going to die for you and you can't do anything about it.
Not only can you do nothing about it, you have to recruit your friend knowing he'll be killed because of it
Not only can you do nothing about it, but nobody in the movie theatre knows that or knows that he’s going to die or knows why they are in a sandy war zone.
I mean tbf, you also know you have a ton of time left them with even after they die. It's comforting in a way, like you got the hard part over with first
Saw the movie and lost. Who is the friend that’ll die and why
@davidrobinson9528 Robert Pattinson's character. Protagonist from the future recruits him, they become good friends but then he gives his life for younger Protagonist to succeed in their mission
Robert Pattinson is such a good actor. I hope he doesn't end up being cast in a vampire movie.
ikr i love his acting except for that movie
😁😁😁. Nice comment.
:-D
I see what you did there 🤣
I see what you did there.
Tenet: hold my beer
Inception: Our movie is the hardest movie to understand!
underrated comment
tenet: beer my hold
I see what you did .. 😄
lol nice one.
nice!!
Robert Pattinson performance in this was phenomenal, definitely made the ending better with their goodbye scene
In upcoming 2-3 years Tenet will be recognised as Christopher Nolan's best movie and obviously one of the best movie of all time.
@@sayanghosh520 how do you figure
@@Colt8722 some people are thinking this film as confusing, they will slowly figure out that this is genius not confusing.....
@@sayanghosh520 I understand it. Its genius.
I just feel Rian Johnson's film "Looper" is similar enough to Tenet and I think from a story telling perspective Looper was superior.
@@sayanghosh520 tenet is well made. Its different.
But Looper succeeded in a way without overly confusing the audience.
Tenet is designed to be seen multiple times. The more you see it, the more it will make sense.
Looper can be understand rather easily watching it the first time.
Why is nobody talking about the express vpn fuckery going on
I'm convinced it was changed sometime in the last few months. Otherwise nobody would know what's going on 😂
Exactly what I was looking for I had to close my eyes and listen only because it was so confusing, and I just saw this movie just now for the first time, or last time?
Bring it up again and you'll be a Boeing whistle blower
Still needs fixin
exactly!!
Turns out this explanation video was what inspired Chris Nolan to produce the movie Tenet. True Story 🤯
That honestly makes the most sense!
It’s like Back To The Future on steroids
hahaha couldn't've said it better. you'd think the explanation video would be less complicated
but tbf, if nolan let us hear what his actors were saying...
@@perpetual_bias facts I couldn’t hear shit 😂
Comment of the year.
Nolan: Yes.
Audience: Is this film about time travel?
Enod ylecin
Desufnoc M'i
YOU GOT EXACTLY !!!
WOW
what you did there i see
The director must have asked the Actors to just play their role and Ignore understanding the full story-line because "Ignorance is our Ammunition"
Ignorance is also Christopher Nolan's ammunition
Lol that really was their line
lol good one
😂😂😂😂 an absolute bliss my brother!
I've given up on understanding the ammunition, I just catch it.
There's also Kat's line about Max saying he's "everything." Not just a loving mother. But a clue that Max is Neil and Neil is perhaps the true hero of the film.
maybe the name protagonist is a play on this too.. protagonist thought he was the real and only protagonist but it was really neil the whole time
Whoa!!! 🤯
I feel bad that Christopher Nolan clearly spent a lot of time carefully planning out this storyline, but nobody understands it.
Yeah I agree. And that's why everybody is saying the movie is trash..... They don't even take time to try understanding it lol
As you've said Nolan clearly spent a lot of time on this, so he'd be very upset if you do.
I agree, but he could have been a little clearer during the movie. If you mis 1 sentences it could lead to not understanding the entire movie.
Most persons are easily confused
the film clearly has an average storyline, but an elevated masterpiece level writing and concept.
those two things can exist in the same universe, which is why i gave this film a 7/10, its ambitious but held down by spy genre tropes, and forgettable secondary and tertiary characters
I've never watched a movie where my brain cannot decide if the movie was good or bad. Was this even a movie? Am I even alive? Who is this?
Interesting fact, his daddy was the lead in a very similar movie. Coincidence ?
@@AleksandarIvanov69 That's right, I remember that movie. "Deja Vu" right?
@@patrickpierre4075 Yeap :) I liked it a lot and of course Denzel made it even better for just being in it
I think it was good. Just can't understand it. If that makes sense.
😂⚰️
The fact that Neil spent 30 years or so inverted to meet up with a young Protagonist just to die and then his kid self grows up and does it all over again is insane
and he also studied physics all over again, that's the hardest part lmao
@@thejericho what? he only studied physics once, he never did anything twice. Time is continuous, the movie just states that you can relatively move backwards against the flow of time of other objects. Its still relative, your time is still moving forward, just against everything else(while inverted). Meaning he only ever studies physics once, and does all of what happens in the movie once.
My mind is a puddle after reading this
@@thejericho no he didn’t. He studied physics before inverting 30 years or maybe during the inversion. You don’t need to study physics again if you’re inverting.
@@thejericho no wonder he so good at physics. He took it definitely.
Neil's advanced degree in physics served a singular purpose: Help Neil understand all the time inversion and overlapping of timelines he would need to do
Christopher Nolan: Yes
Producer: How much confusion do you want in this movie?
Oh i get it
👏🏽👏🏽
Sey.
Haaa
brilliant!
On my way to watch Tenet, it was a great movie.
Did you put a invert reference here? You said “ on my way to watch Tenet,” ok. Then you say, “ it was a great movie” . So did you invert yourself to go back in time to the movie again? Heads up, don’t make contact with your past self.
🤯
HahHahah
enjoy watching it reversely
this NEEDS to be the top comment!
Producer: “How much confusion do you want?”
Christopher Nolan: “Yes.”
He's also the producer so.. 😂😂
.seY
PLEASE HELP ME TO REVIEW MY VIDEOS CONTEN
sey
@@shayankhadem2667 so producer the also he's
Okay there's totally a scene missing where, in the future, an aged Protagonist recruits a young Neil, and is preparing him to spend several years of his life inverted... That scene would have really rounded out the movie, emotionally and logically.
Or the whole movie from the perspective of Neil... 🤔
This film is the end of a long line of tenet films not yet created
The truth is in childhood Christopher Nolan's parents didn't give him toys to play so he started playing with clocks and time
Lol
lol
Bringing your brain to the cinema in order to watch CNolan’s movie is no longer enough, you must have a PhD in physics as well.
Or a spliff.
@@ivobo6227 or coke
right. I only have a few physics classes under my belt and this was still hard to follow.
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.
@@bretellis Lmfao
Other Movies: This movie has a lot of plot twists.
Tenet: These plots twists have a movie.
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. Just my 0.02
That's what I love about this "complex" movies. Keeps me engaged even after watching and makes it a good puzzle or brain teaser to think about and entertain you for much longer than the duration of the movie
Makes a great rewatch though I've seen in 3 or 4 times now over a few years and I'm still getting my head around it and the action scenes are unique enough to keep you engaged. This movie is hard to switch off also, if I catch a few minutes of it I have to finish it
Stanley kubrick didnt become a living legend by dumbing his movies down. 2001 : A Space Odyssey is a great example. It took a while for people to catch on. Tenet will be more appreciated in the years to come.
I think his duty is to himself and his art. He shouldn't have to stifle his creativity because people aren't smart enough to understand it. Good art makes you think. That's the point.
Einstein: Time is relative
Nolan: Time is my relative
Hahahahahhaahha
Ok this one is a good one lol
Classic! :D
In my opinion. Its easier than we think if we have clarity on what we want to do
My option anyways
😂
This movie is so ahead of its time. May be people from future will understand it clearly.
@Jack Torrance 333 maybe
@Jack Torrance 333 like I understood the mechanism but I was unable to link all the parts of movie. Like why Neil said that the protagonist hired him.
They understand it just fine because they made it
This movie was so great I can’t wait to go see it tomorrow
Maybe they will invert themselves to beat Nolan for making this
Holy shit my brain is butter after watching this.
I thought this would help...but alas
Haha try watch Dark series on Netflix then your brain will pop out 🤯
Lol, exactly!
I'm even more lost than when I started lol.
Seriously 🤣🤣
I feel what would have made the movie a little bit more understandable is if Nolan included dates and time stamps in the movie to have a clearer view on things.
Einstein: time is relative
Nolan: time is my relative
*laughs in Grant Morrison*
This is such a nice comment!
@@jonathannuamah3296 yeah , I think so 😎
Reverse nolan : My relative is a time
Badass ......
This movie called me dumb for 2.5 hours straight. I wanted to understand it SO BAD but i couldn’t for the life of me 💀
👀 it isn't often I find someone in the UA-cam comments with a channel XD
Its even worse if you smoke weed first. I was lost the entire time and I went in thinking the weed would help lol
Same 🥺🙂
It's because nolan failed to deliver the concept, too bad because the plot is actually awesome.
for decades hollywood always finds ways to explain everything for us nitwits.
but not christopher nolan. no way buddy
I feel, in my heart, like I just watched one of the best movies I have ever seen, but I didn't know what was going on half of the time. 😂
No. It was confusing shit that no-one could understand. Terminator 1 and 2 - now those were time travel movies that you could understand!!

Tenet was a piece of shit!!
@@mikthe2004 If you still feel sorry after watching this video I then you need Special ED... , which begs the question of what type of education led to your alleged "invention"?
@@stanshady3440 You don't need to be particularly smart to have a good idea. C'mon, Tenet was ridiculously pretentious!!
Why is no one talking about the broken video? The Express VPN part broke everything.

I heard Nolan gonna make a movie called Inception too
@@kapilreang and he's gonna direct the batman series too
So we are going backwards huh
@@willzjohns556 .era ew seY
I believe the reason why Nolan didn't got an Oscar is that none of the judges understand his movies

They have a single screening for the jury so it's hard for them to take it all in at once...But yeah he deserves a directing nod anyway...This must've been the hardest movie to direct...
Prolly need a good grip in Physics lmao
Movie was big 🗑
That's correct, They need to study some subject (Physics)
I understood the movie completely the first time I saw it. Made perfect sense to me.

Green chalk board and draw the lines out with an explanation. All enthusiastic like….
I knew to some extent how it was gonna end but I don't know why it ended the way it ended... If this makes sense 😂
God bless you bc that was almost impossible for me
One of my favourite parts is the fact that at the end, they perform that ten minute pincer, meeting in the middle, and if you look at the word Tenet its a combination of the word "ten" both forward and inverted, meeting in the middle... so cool!
Wow, Thanks for blowing my mind.
That’s badass
Ah HAH!

😔😔 that will be me
While being not native english speakers
Lol 2 mins in and I just had to download subtitles.
I watched it again, just for understanding with subtitles. I still don’t understand.
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.
COVID19: I'm gonna cut all cinema revenues by 50%
CNolan: (Muffles all dialogues, so everyone goes to watch it twice.)
Bahahaha
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.
They don’t call him the greatest without a reason 😂

This movie is so far ahead of its time and that is the reason why it couldn’t reach the widespread popularity equal to that of inception and interstellar.
Definitely my 2nd favourite Nolan movie after Inception. It’s a masterpiece and I hope with time people will understand it and give more respect to it….
"This movie is so far ahead of its time" - yes. In every meaning.
This will be Nolan’s most underrated film until The Prestige.
I see what you did there 😏
The Prestige was actually a great film though, with very real stakes for its characters.
The prestige is one of my favorite movies
@@narutouchiha5464 it’s an excellent movie!
@Greta Heisensoy did you just call Interstellar rubbish?
This movie is so confusing, that the explanation is confusing.

But people who thought inception was hard to understand is having their brain cells massacred right now.
@@ExcuseMyWeebRudeness Yeah I watched this explained before I even seen the movie. I never do this. I wasn't in the mood to be confused. Inception is nothing compared to Tenet.

Is this video also inverted 💀
Facts 😭
i think what happened is he took the express vpn voice over out and just had the video play through but the vpn image was still there so it like 2 minutes ahead
Did anyone else notice the broken mirror on the car when they got in it and thought something would happen with it
Yeah, they kinda hinted at it. Like Chekov's gun
Yes
I just watched the movie. If you’re referring to the broken window on the BMW they did do something with it. Sator’s inverted car hits the side of it when it’s introduced
No
100%. The camera made a point of showing it. Like Jurassic Park 'Objects in mirror are larger than they appear'

Underrated comment
LOL
😂😂
It was the only movie I watched this year
One of the many reasons Christopher Nolan is a great film director. Who thinks of a script like this?!?!?! It's genius
No, someone with a name and budget to do what he wants. It is too complicated for no actual reason.
@@Ladraz yeah, it's literally confusing for what? it would be so much better if it was explained well. But that's Nolan for you
i mean its essentially looper with just additional loops. as a big fan of scifi and fantasy reading i can tell you this plot while visually impressive and executed well was not very complicated to someone like me who has read many dozens of stories and books involving long and unnecessary and complicated forms of travel both involving and skipping around time. its just a rare thing to have this in a movie and so it really throws off more casual viewers and confuses them. i mean nobody has been to the movies all year and before that it was basically a whole year of superhero films that just vomit the plot out to you. so i dont think anyone was ready for this and it made a lot of people confused as a result.
@@fredconney2896 yeah I agree, my only other complaint: character motivation, Nolan often puts plot over his characters. And you see it highly in this film. But After watching it for a second time it was a lot more enjoyable
@@fredconney2896 r/iamverysmart
Robert Pattinson filmed the movie without knowing what was going on 😂
Trust me, no one other than Nolan understood it. Imagine the editors.
I hope one day, Christopher nolan makes a movie starting from the end to the beginning.
Watch Memento by Christopher Nolan
Memento
So Memento basically?
@@yospidey0078 not exactly
Memento does this
The word "Neil" in Hindi means the color blue. And the blue team was moving back in time. So it's a hidden reference. Neil's character was always from the future and moving “backwards”
In Persian we have a word called "Neilly" which is a kind of blue as well !
Wow I've got no words...
Mahdi Habibi Oh really? That’s cool. I learned something today. Thank you!
It doesn't make up for bad script writing.
Neil is Max. Kat's Daughter.
Max is short for Maximilien
Last 4 letters of Maximilien is Lien
Lien reversed is Neil.
*Max is Neil and Neil is Max*
Sorry but I don't think so....too far fetched idea.
Neil can't take it
Because he is not a hero ,
He is a silent guardian
A watchful protector
He is.....
Batman
Right on.

You don’t have to understand the movie because ignorance is going to be your ammunition. Trust you! 😬
Oh my goooooopood😵
😂😂😂😂
OMG this is actually true.... Like when I put too much pressure to understand it I couldn't enjoy the movie... But when I was going with an ignorant approach trynna just feel it and not understand it I loved the movie
Soo true that's why l watched inception like some n times😂 reversing again and again and again .
In that case I'm armed to the teeth.

his future self will make it in the past
lol
😂😂😂
Contact Adam from DARK ;p
🤣🤣🤣.... nice one...i was looking for this comment...
I'm pretty sure I just earned a bachelor's in physics from watching this video.
This movie is basically Memento taken to the next level, Memento was composed of two narratives, one moving towards and other backwards, but they were solely narratives. This one the narratives are happening literally and simultaneously.
If someone says that they understood the film the first time, they are lying
i understood it until they flipped it and reversed it in the final act. it was too much noise and color coding to follow
Well I guess you have to be on a certain level of intelligence that not very many are on.
@@Lovelylady2324 I pity you. This movie was a masterpiece.
@@LOGAN-bf6xu you come off like such a stereotypically douchey 16yo right now lmao
@@360.Tapestry thank you for the constructive criticism, but unfortunately I wasn't talking to you.

Imagine if they played end credits in the beginning and logos in the end.
Missed oppurtunity
it would be bold
or nuts
Honestly, I would have respected the balls on that move! Still would have been the most memorable part of the film.
Crazy you mention Oppenheimer, just as I’m watching this on July 24 2023 as Nolan’s next film ‘Oppenheimer’ just premiered
Ikr and im looking for this comment too
Oppenheimer was cited in the movie
Plot twist Christopher Nolan made the Sator square
From the future
Plot Twist: Christopher Nolan is the Sator Square
Haha
😂
🤣🤣🤣
But “Neil” backwards is Lien. So he must be lien about everything.
that's the point, hes Lien in reverse, so he's telling the truth.
😂😂😂😂😂
It's short for neilimixaM
Lien? From RWBY?
Lien is Standard Operating Procedure
Audience: “What is Tenet about?”
Christopher: “seY.”
Lmao.
oamL

Tenet is ten minutes forward and ten minutes backwards.we can understand it from the end scene
Nolan: Yes, it does.
Journalist: Does this movie have time travel?
also Journalist: Wait...what?
Lol
Good one
😅😅
This isnt a bad movie, it just doesnt wait for you
You probably play video games and your friends say that game is so difficult and then you say 'it doesn't hold your hand"
@@waxman9550 I don't see the issue with saying that. Was that supposed to be an insult? lmao
@@PhilGerb93 lol right? People these days just want everything spoon fed to them. Part of the fun is figuring stuff out when you don't have a clue what's going on.
It just gives the audience the information in a horrible way.
Sci fi movies do great when the viewers can watch the movie and understand what's happening. What i mean by that is SHOWING the audience instead of verbally telling them. Almost all the important info in tenet was verbally given to the viewer, which is much harder for 99% of people to comprehend than visual, especially in a fast paced movie
@@lanceneidhardt4283 as a viewer, you don't understand the motives of anyone, the background of anything, and the plot is so loose. "Save the world from time traveling shit" its VERY bad delivery. Movies like Interstellar actually explained the plot, but this movie felt like when you flip on a Channel and there's a half way finished movie playing. That feeling of trying to piece together the movie without watching the previous half? Thats what the entirety of tenet felt like
The Team: Tenet is so successful, people are waiting for the second movie. Will it be sequel or prequel?
Christopher Nolan: Yes.
I'll take your 😌😲😷...
stocks entire
Sequel or prequel
BOTH
Well, that part is a little dramatic
@@FullTraderAlchemist yes, a prequel & sequel pinching the original Tenet :)
Upon watching the film again, I realized that the organization doesn’t need to exist past the end of the film. The protagonist could invert backwards for years, recruiting Ives, Neil, and the others, in the Protagonist’s past. The prior operations could have been trying to direct Sator to the other 8 pieces of the algorithm.
This movie isn't nearly as confusing or even as cerebral as the comment section would lead you to believe. I, for one, knew that Bruce Willis was a ghost at the very beginning of the movie!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😭 I see dead people
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 madness. I blame this movie for your madness
And Soylent Green was people.
I’m setting up a therapy group for people who came out of this movie backwards.

My absolute peanut of a brain melted into soup during this movie.
Christopher Nolan is truly a genius, Niel and the protagonist were such great actors they played the role perfectly
Who else completely missed that the kid was supposed to be young Neil on the first viewing
Myself
It wasn't obvious at all to me. I mean it makes sense, but based on just the movie one can only speculate because there is no hint or evidence (at least I didnt see any)
Which kid?
How is that hinted? Did his backpack have the little thingy?
@Mr Right I think it makes more sense if the main character went back in time instead, didn't neil tell him his future is in the past or something like that?
So the Tenet did all of this for a VPN service? I'm even more confused now.
very underrated comment
this is the kind of gold youd find on half in the bag
Rolf 😂😂😂😂
PLEASE HELP ME TO REVIEW MY VIDEOS CONTEN
.seY
What a creative mind Christopher has, noone ever guna think of this again. this is totally unique. we privileged to live in this era
I've realized the only way for me to understand the movie is for someone to explain every single scene to me while holding my hand.
How do you watch this in theaterrs without pausing or rewinding??😂
I had the same thought. It just premiered on HBOMAX tonight and there’s no way I could have remotely followed it without stopping and rewinding.
@@penguincommunity6218 I just finished watching it and of course I was lost. I just saw this video hoping it will help me understand and it just left me even more confused 😂
i kept on rewinding it 10 sec back after every minute...xD
Simple: you just experience. Understanding is not a consideration.
Even rewinding it doesn't answer the myriad of questions in your head.
I think his explanation is much more fast and confusing than the movie itself
Facts!
the commennt i was lookin for
No way
So glad I’m not the only one
Absolutely agree
How the hell does someone write something like this??? 🤕 My head hurts and I watched this movie a week from now.
Start with an ending
Mushrooms
That is why i want to shrink him. Find out what went down in his childhood.
Must have been on inverted substance lol
let alone writing it, how do you film someone moving in the past fight someone moving in the future like wtf????
My future self watched this with my past self in the present with our present self and none of us understand this movie.
