Once inverted, people would never exist in their first/initial version which has essentially become their future which itself moves along with its own pace. As people can always move back in time, people can never move ahead in future via time-jumps, so if someone keeps inverting him/herself (even re-inverting in past), they are essentially removing them from future

I'm sorry but TENET is a complete MISFIRE... and of all the other CHRISTOPHER NOLAN HEAD-SCRATCHER MOVIES out there, this takes the Crown (from Inception). To understand why, I encourage you to watch a great TIME TRAVEL MASTERPIECE by Terry Gilliam, called 12 MONKEYS which stars BRUCE WILLIS (with a small but very memorable part by BRAD PITT). 12 MONKEYS has the same BASIC RULES for Time Travel as TENET - which is that Time CANNOT be Altered, and what you are seeing on Screen is basically a slice of TIME that has already happened and remains intact on the SPACE-TIME CONTINUUM. We as the AUDIENCE are merely witnessing that slice of time in our REAL TIME... In 12 MONKEYS no matter what the Protagonist (Bruce Willis) does to try and change the FUTURE (a virus has wiped out most of Humanity forcing the remnants to live underground) it only goes to solidify what has already happened, and to the grim realization of Willis... shows that he is merely a part of the chain of eventuality that leads to the Future from which he was sent and trying to alter. Once again, the rules of TIME TRAVEL is that you cannot change time... and if you go back into the past, you are merely part of that ETERNAL TIMELINE that always existed because your time travel event is also just part of TIME to begin with. This is the same for TENET... The only difference being that NOLAN immediately gives you this Reveal in the Opening Exposition, thus there is no REVEAL at the end... i.e. no payoff for the Audience... only a play through of what we already knew from the Beginning (if you were paying attention and not distracted by the beautiful Set Pieces and well choreographed Big Budget Fight Scenes). TENET's timeline has already occurred... and the World did not END, this is obvious otherwise there would be no world, no TENET organization, or Movie for that matter. Its Obvious that they succeeded even before the movie begun. All you are seeing is a Real Time playback of something that already concluded. So why does this make the TENET a flop (and not 12 MONKEYS)? Well because in 12 Monkeys, the movie does not Exposition the Rules of Time Travel at the beginning... it keeps you in suspense to the end and you are able to bond with and empathize with WILLIS' character as he tries with futility to try and change his Future only to realize that he can't. The horror of the Reveal is that TIME Cannot be CHANGED... The movie spends time developing WILLIS' character and the characters around him - showing the effects that Time Travel can have on a person's mind and psyche when going from a Dystopic Future back to the past when things were normal. There is even a point where he tries to deliberately sabotage his mission so he can escape and forget about the Future, and just be content to live out the short remaining time in the Past...only to be sucked back in because even those actions are part of what already happened. TENET on the otherhand does nothing for its Characters... You learn nothing about them, their motivations, their feelings, or even what they are trying to do other than they are caught in a plethora of confusing Bond Movie Action pieces where somethings play forward and the others play in reverse. JD Washington also has the acting ability of a Wooden Board, and has ZERO Chemistry with the 6 Foot Lady... There isn't even a reason for him to care about her, which would have been nice if there were some sort of On-Screen romance, instead he just starts caring for her for who knows why? There is also no UNCERTAINTY in the plot, no Twists, no sense of impending doom, or chance of Failure. Its like watching your clothes spin in a Clothes Dryer... you know eventually it will end, and at the end your clothes will be dry. TENET ties beginning scenes to ending scenes and claims that's the great reveal, but you don't feel satisfied at the end, or even emotionally moved, because if you really were paying attention you would know this before from the Exposition at the beginning... but those not smart enough to figure it out at the beginning are probably too dumb to understand the convoluted plot in the first place, and if they liked it, they only probably did for the dazzling mindless Action scenes. To be Honest, this Movie would have been better as a BOND MOVIE, and for all of you who wanted a BLACK JAMES BOND... this is kinda what it would have looked like... And to be doubly honest this movie would have probably done much better at the BOX OFFICE if they kept it without the TIME INVERSION GIBBERISH.

@@annoyboyPictures Interesting opinion. For me, Neil's journey is the most interesting part of the movie and what lays ahead in the future of the movie, not inversion. This movie isn't primarily about the inversion I dont think, thats why he shows you at the beginning because it isn't meant to be the big reveal you hoped, comparing it to another movie where that might be the case. The big reveal is the relationship between Neil and JD it would seem. I felt inversion is just a part of it, like a character, even from trailers we see it so to expect a reveal of the time concept as a surprise will obviously dissappoint. The story and relationship is more at the forefront of this movie even though the story isn't compelling nor well explained (I do agree there was no chemistry with JD and the woman and the sudden caring of her was bit of a stretch). Also, Nolan would class this as a "spy" movie more so than a time travel movie which is mentioned in his interviews. Will definitely check out 12 monkeys though, it sounds good.

I’ll admit. The fight sequences must have been challenging. But I just didn’t find it engaging beyond the spectacle of the movements. Because I was just wondering why the hell any of it mattered to the plot. This film could have been executed without the time travel gimmick or the IMAX and it would have benefited. IMO Nolan had no patience to explain why he wanted travel to matter to the story. He had plot points, when the scientist in the beginning has a chance to explain the significance of time travel, she says “just go with it” lol.

I love how he does this with the "anonymous protagonist". Nolan says that there's something compelling about being told to focus on the "here and now", to pass through the experience in the present tense. This is exactly what he did with the Joker, only in that case it was the "anonymous antagonist". It works on both. I like it, both the idea and the film.. It is solid, and needs to be watched more than once before really, really enjoying it. It's cinema sushi.

The more times you watch Tenet and explore the characters' timelines the more engaging it becomes. The film makes you engage with the film outside of the running time. In a way, it has a temporally stretched running time. There were some dialogue decisions and acting flaws that stand out to me, but the cinematic experience overall has really stuck with me.

I also had all the characters EAT as they delivered their dialogue so that it was more "immersive" (and illegible) which spoke to the overall theme of the film (EATing) (and TEA) (sometimes they drink tea and speak at the same time) (in imax)

If so, what were some of them? 7:47 - Did you make a Casablanca reference in Neil's last scene? 8:05 - How do the characters return to their original timeline after traveling backwards? 9:40 - What was the moment you realised that the script was ready to shoot? 11:50 - What is your focus when finalising the complete sound design? 14:08 - How early on was Ludwig involved in bringing the soundtrack to the film? 16:50 - What prompted you to have an artist like Travis Scott featured in your movie? 19:51 - Can you talk more about your collaboration with editor Jennifer Lame? 21:46 - Which of the action scenes in Tenet was the most difficult to film? 24:15 - What would be your advice to any independent filmmaker wanting to make the jump to celluloid? 25:36 - Would you ever want one of your films to be adapted into a video game and, if so, which one? 26:53 - Would you ever try and tackle a horror film? 28:03 - Are you interested in other forms of telling stories? 29:08 - Have there been times working on a script when you thought you'd never be able to complete it? 30:35 - Do you tend to have a few ideas that you're most passionate about, that you focus on in parallel or purely singular on one project? 31:45 - What's your process of picking your next project before you reach the commitment stage? 32:36 - Did you ever have a mentor who played a part in who you are as a filmmaker today? 34:20 - What is your favourite shot that you have captured with an IMAX camera? 36:15 - What would you say was the most challenging film of yours to make and why? 39:24 - Did you ever make mistakes in continuity that you realised later? 40:40 - Did you have to reshoot those mistakes when they manifested? 42:25 - Did you watch any films for reference before you started to write TENET? 43:58 - What has been the project that has impacted you the most? Any guesses at how bottomless Nolan's drink is?

When I watched his film 'Tenet', I was shocked his rich inner world, and he mad talented. I think his Big genius our time, I happy to live with Christopher Nolan in one time. Tenet is must impressive crazy film ever I watched. Thank U .

People who hate Tenet hate themselves because they can't wrap their brains around the concept or make sense of it. They don't understand so they make excuses not to admit this movie is a masterpiece.

I love interviews like this. It gives you a window into the filmmaker's mind, and it helps you appreciate films bc it lets you know the filmmaker's thought process. Stuff like this makes me wanna rewatch Tenet

Who in here wants Nolan to do voice for audiobooks?

A true visionary for all budding young filmmakers!! That’s what I love the most about Chris! He is setting his standards higher in each and every movies.

I thought this was a setup to a joke about tenet's sound mixing for a second..

I watched Once upon a time in the west before Tenet, and now he mentioned Sergio Leone's films. I had a small felling in my mind that Once upon a time in the west have a impact on some particular manner v.i.a Protagonist with no name sort-of on Christopher Nolan. And its great to hear my mind hit the right mark.✌

This interview was fantastic. I love that he answered questions that the fans had.

Christopher Nolan is an example of humanity beginning to evolve past the 4 dimensions we all understand. He hinted at this with Interstellar, as well. The idea that our human brain can begin to interact with the universe understanding a fifth dimension.

Going to have to re-watch TENET yesterday.

first nolan picture i saw in theaters since inception in 2010. completely forgot how great his films are on the big screen with the big sound. saw it three times!!

So he started shooting at 7 years. This tells a lot about his passion.

35:05 What a scene ! I always wondered how just 'standing and camera zooming in on heath ledger' can be so interesting to watch. And when he mentioned it, i'm like 'that was really something'.

Please, they need to create a video game based on this film- like 007, think carrying out missions, having to travel backwards in time, keeping track of your oxygen mask and air quality, jumping into turnstiles… so cool!! Come on Mr. Nolan! You gotta give us another way to scratch the Tenet itch!

I'm used to watching Nolan movies. So in 1st watch itself, I understood the basic concepts, while feeling the energy & complex world Nolan created. Much appreciated ❤️

Morning and happy Christmas everyone. After seeing Tenet twice back in the Summer (first time in IMAX) the standard 1080p BD has been on my shelf since the day of release for today - its 01.36 on Christmas Day morning and like a child I am already up, bong at the ready, to put in on the ol' home setup for the first time. Loved it but its still very dense even after 2 viewings so I am looking forward to unpicking more after the 5th month gap.

Tenet, very thought provoking- lots to digest!. That's keeps the hunger to take in the volume. Extremely inivtive, rare in filmmaking.

I loved how he talked about the impact of “home video”. Cuz it was in 2001 when after renting Memento from a blockbuster and watching it with my father that my interest in film really exploded.

It's just timing. Calm the F down, son.

I honestly beleive cristopher Nolan is our generations Alfred hitchcock. He has such an expert level skill on what the audience will feel based on his characters,camera,plot, and choreography. The master of suspense reborn

25:32 he had us all, sort of thing we go to bed & thinking we got everything for script & then you sit down & you're blank. Most Relatable Line.

29:06 The person who asked that question is a gem...! Kudos! I've also personally pondered over that question so many times! That question is the highlight of the interview as it gets the deepest answer out of Nolan!

Movie of the year!!

I love how hereferred to Kubrick who is now my number 2 director. A legend in his own time and Nolans

I love Christopher Nolan and his films.

an absolute master of his craft.

My son will be named after this man, he will always be my idol.

Nolan continues to build on his march toward cinematic prestige.

I saw Memento in theatres when it was released and after I watched it I thought "we'll never see anything like this again". I was right about that until I saw Tenet. Mr. Nolan is just an unbelievable filmmaker. Not Kubrick but I believe he's the closest thing we've got.

I really don't get the sound issue. I didn't watch it in the theaters but I did watch it on my tv and the only place where I found it tough to hear anything was in the boat scene where...**SPOILER**... a certain someone gets pushed off and saved immediately after. That was like 5 seconds of difficulty hearing. I don't even have world class speakers. Just average ones.

I noticed that on my home system. And that was an issue in parts of Interstellar. The situation could be easily alleviated if they just toned down the music and sound effects while dialogue is going on.

This film influenced so much that when me and my girlfriend finish shopping at the supermarket and she starts loading the shopping bags into the car in her forwards timline, when she isnt looking I'm putting each carrier bag back into the shopping trolley, then start walking backwards with the fully loaded trolley in front of me back to the supermarket entrance. I told her that I'm going forwards in my timeline, and its everyone else including her who's going backwards in theres ha ha!!
