@@marelliusthorzon3638 i understood how the movie worked quite well, thanks, it is not some kind of rocket science. Just too many years spending in reverse - Neil is about 35 while max is 10, that would require to spend 12 years in reverse, which is quite exhausting and extremely difficult to organize from the logistical point of view. Not impossible, of course, since TENET is a very big organization with seemingly limitless resources, ships, helicopters, a hundred operatives and doubtless lots of support stuff, but still covering one reversed person for a decade is not easy logistically. The problem with the whole 'neil is max' theory is that it is almost baseless: the only evidence is them both having blond hair, and very flimsy evidence with names . Yet, Kate had spent a few weeks with Neil (tallinn-freeport, then some normal time, then reversed back to point of the final operation), and what, she didn't notice an uncanny resemblance of this guy to her son? Totally implausible. I have sometimes met previously unknown people who so strongly resembled someone I knew before, so that I knew they were related without an introduction (siblings, parents), and here a woman can't recognize that this person looks like an adult version of her son? lol many times to that.

I watched Tenet 3 times before learning John David Washington is Denzel Washington's son. Now whenever I rewatch the movie or see these clips again, I can't help but always hear Denzel's voice coming out of The Protagonist's mouth. His cadence and line delivery is just like his father's. It's amazing how some people carry the traits of their parents.

He went back to die, but making sure the protagonist reach the bomb with Ives in time to be pulled up by his past self (before that past self does the same, again, and again). That's why Neil said "For me, I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship" because he knew what will happen when he goes back in time and that is his reality.

They fight because there's no way to know for sure this is the way it works so they have to fight to try and stop the algorithm from being activated. So in Tenet essentially there is one universe and one timeline. Neil died in the past (in this scene moving forward in time). So he will go and invert and die as was shown. There is no way to change that as what's happened, happened. There's only one reality.

One of the most weirdly emotional scenes in a Nolan film. Even with all the complex, abstract time travel stuff and Nolan-ey dialogue, you can really feel the sadness.

This reminded me of the love story between River Song and Doctor Who. Both were time traveling adventurers, so they kept meeting up in the wrong order. They keep a journal of their times together so that, when they do run into each other, they can quickly catch up on where they are in each other's timeline. When the Doctor first met Song, she had already known him, fallen in love with him, and married him. But for the first time in her experience, she met a Doctor that hadn't even met her yet - the current one, as of that episode. The Doctor's meeting this woman for the first time, blown away that she knows his secrets but isn't a threat. She sacrifices her life to save him, telling him not to worry because he has everything to look forward to, and feeling weird about the revelation that the whole time she knew him, he had known exactly how she would die.

I can never get over the subtle expressions in this movie, like Neils face at 1:45. It feels like in that moment, he is realizing and accepting that his next and final move of the mission is to go back and sacrifice himself. It's blank and almost expressionless and as he turns you can ever so faintly hear him sigh. It's the moment where he doesn't do nothing, he makes a decision and that decision saves the world and also ends his life. Man after a couple watches, this is a film masterpiece.

damn that emotional goodbye is so palpable. The sadness, the realization, the regret of not know and then finally discovering who has been protecting him.

At 1:46, Neil's expression tells you everything. He knows that he's going to die.

I think Neil knew he was gonna die based on his relationship with the Future protagonist. The Future protagonist probably treated him in a certain way since he knew Neil's fate. I get why some people felt like this film lacked emotion or character relationship but this scene totally catches you off guard right at the end which hit harder because you feel like the protagonist and his deep gratitude for someone he has to say goodbye to and knowing their fate when he eventually meets them for the first time. It be like finding out this dude you just met a few days ago saved your life and was your best friend, going back through time to help you only for you to know how he will die. Imagine eventually meeting him and going on awesome times only for this moment to be in the back of your mind. Im sure Neil sensed that when they were together, maybe not when he would die but that he would die and eventually seeing the protagonist's eyes as he tried to stop him probably fulfilled it.

You HAVE to watch Tenet twice. Not should, but have to. The beauty is that the whole movie is Nolan's pincer maneuver. As Neil said, when you think it's the end you're actually only halfway through. And to really complete the journey of this movie you have to watch it a second time, but this time knowing the end.

We need a sequel, but even if it was a sequel it would essentially be a prequel it’d be both really

There's plenty the film fails at. The concept is actual nonsense, both scientifically and logically with all the paradoxes. That's not a big deal as really you should not try to focus on the exact details and implications, and just enjoy it, but a lot of the film is spent on exposition that really shouldn't be there, and that exposition is part of the problem. It's an absolute spectacle and should be enjoyed as such. The other big problem, and the main issue I had with the film, is the sound mixing. This clip sounds great, but it's clearly a raw clip that's been uploaded and I'm listening to it through good quality headphones. If you watched this film in anything other than a top quality cinema, or at home not with an expensive sound system, large swathes of the film are unintelligible. Nolan has this frustrating snobbishness about refusing to release a "lower quality" sound mix for home systems, and the result is that I, and many others, missed large chunks of exposition and other crucial dialogue that was being drowned out by the music. Note: in the freeport this was done well, the music blocking dialogue reflecting where Neil's attention is. However, in that section I completely missed the dialogue about the gold on my first watch and was confused why there was just tonnes of gold in the plane. I enjoyed the film overall, more than most, and I can appreciate it a lot more watching with subtitles. Nothing wrong with enjoying the film: it's very interesting and there's not a lot like it. Just thought I'd provide a semi-concise explanation as to why the film is off-putting for some

Couldn’t wrap my head around this movie the first time. A year or so later i couldn’t stop watching it.

I love how in both Tenet and Interstellar (and arguably Inception), Nolan leaves the story wide open for a sequel, with probably no intention of ever doing one.

@Cetra29

Жыл бұрын

The flaw that people see comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept. People see this flaw whenever they ask themselves "But where did it start? What came before? There had to be a 'before'?" No, there does not. Not understanding that fundamentally sails away from the very fact that this is to be a cycle. It is not some loop that is initiated, it is a loop that was always there since time existed and is always there so the "beginning" that people demand is a "proxy" in the cycle itself. People would now go on a rant "this makes no sense! there has to be an independent beginning!" No, there hasn't. If there is supposed to be another thing "before" it a) is no self-sustaining ALWAYS existing cycle and it also would require events to consist of a numeric system - that is completely against what a bootstrap paradox is. The following explanation is getting very abstract because I am trying to make some of the logical problems of those who criticize it clear: What they think with is what multiversal events use as logic. With that I mean (hypothetically) people expect that an event happens n times but then suddenly for the n + 1st time it is not the event. And that n + 1st time causes the time split. That is not the logic of an endless cycle though because in a bootstrap paradox you do not watch an event "unfold for n + x times" it just IS the same event. it does not "repeat to coincidentally unfold the same way", it just is what already happened. Which is also why the phrase "what happened, happened" exists. Events that would happen n times and be identical but would still not BE the same from an existential point of view, they would just look the same like a clone and you. If you watch a bootstrap paradox it IS the same and not "some event that just looks the same". Now of course that is just one thing I wanted to say to make it a bit more clear but that is not all. The concept is, since the cycle always existed, that the future exists to always support its own coming-into-existence. Which again is not believable for those who are against those who do not like the bootstrap paradox because they dismiss the idea of what a cycle actually is by demanding an independent beginning. At that point I want to point out that for them to be right the future would not be allowed to exist parallely. (And it has to exist anyway already if we already go far enough to talk about possible time travelling otherwise no backward and forward timetravelling is possible - but if we leave that out then of course it might look different). But if all times exist parallely and does not just come into existence like some loading bar in a video game then the future is also always there to support itself. Another logical flaw that those who are against a bootstrap paradox is actually an even bigger paradox which requires time changing and that also goes against the idea of the multiversal concept so by even thinking of that they bite themselves in the ass without realizing. I had a clearer thought process about that once but I am writing right now spontaneously so maybe I will remember what I thought about that one day. Not now. In any way the concept of cyclic events is NOT unpopular in fiction. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Harry casts a Patronus because he realized he already travelled through time and succeeded in casting a Patronus. Zelda Ocarina of Time - Link learns the Song of Storms in the future from a man, then goes back in time to teach it to the man. Back to the Future - Chuck Berry learns Johnny B. Goode from Marty who first heard it from Chuck. Final Fantasy VIII - Edea Kramer creates the concept of the Gardens to raise sorceress hunters after Squall, the main character of the game right after the final battle was catapulted back to the past and told her he was a "Seed" from the Garden. Dragon Ball Super - Trunks flees from his own time from a person named Zamasu/Goku Black which in turn leads to the events of Zamasu figuring out who they are, meeting them and eventually travelling to Trunks to terrorize him (the anime version of that is relatively complex because it combines timelines and timeloops). Chrono Trigger - the characters see the main character "die" so they get a fake double of his body, get back to that moment and swap the character out with the double so their past selves think they see him die (this is actualy one that sparked debates amongst fans because some think they just changed time paradoxically but from a narrative oint of view it would have everything a bootstrap paradox has so I go by that as it is more consistent). Twelve Monkeys - Bruce WIllis goes back in time to prevent something from happening - I do not remember what, I hated the movie - and at the end he realized he could not stop it and that he was one of the elements for the loop to even be a thing, as it always is for such events. DNA² - Karin Aoi travels back in time to prevent the creation of the infamous "Mega Playboy" who had children with 100 woman whose sons also had the Mega Playboy DNA but the medicine she gave the guy actually turned him into the Mega Playboy (also a combo story because later it uses the consistency paradox of overwriting time). Kim Possible - secondary main villain Shego travels back in time after having gotten what she wanted to tell her past self from her plan enabling her to do it (combo with consistency paradox in the end when they break everything) Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - Ansem the Seeker of Darkness, Heartless of the man called Xehanort travelled back in time to teach his young self about time travelling and his plans. I could talk more about it but not now.

​@@Cetra29 I think that very much depends on ones interpretation of Determinism. The universe we live in is, objectively speaking, Determisnitic, preceding events result in observed consequences, to the point this can be perfectly predicted with sufficient data and computational power. Even our own belief in self-determination and consciousness is far different from the truth given that our neurochemistry dictates our behaviour, and said chemistry, the very workings of our material mind, is itself entirely Deterministic and dependent upon not only our biology but our environment during development and during life in general. We simply rationalize what we do in a sense that allows us to believe we acted in a way that the outcome was deliberate and not inevitable. So depending on how you see Determinism the outcome would either be one of two points, a) the loop has always existed because in a Deterministic universe the events will always happen sans some significant upheaval (which wouldn't really be possible unless you had total control of the system) as it will always reach the same point, someone discovers the means to invert and individual in time and they then cause the very chain of events that lead to the same conclusion, or b) the first loop was a shift to the system and while this influenced the overall Determinism of what is a relatively insignificant point in Space-Time it leads to another stable point that is always going to happen. These are also not mutually exclusive, while this loop might always occur, that does not necessarily mean there was not an initial catalyst to lead to such an outcome. A system with the same conditions will always produce the same general optimum, a gradual convergence on the same point, without introduction of new variables. Depending on your outlook Tenet is either the result of such an introduction through mastering a fundamental aspect of our reality, or it is an inevitable point that will always occur due to preceding events, but again, those are not mutually exclusive conclusions. The problem lies in the fact that once you begin a self-sustaining loop within a system, differentiating a causal factor at the beginning of said loop, if there even is one (as it may simply be a natural conclusion of the events preceding it), I think that the answer would really depend on your interpretation of the universe and if things actually change given that we are, in fact, living in one effectively infinite self-contained system in which the fundamental variables are effectively constant. Yes, eventually expansion will halt, but if everything "cools down", as we currently believe, into a complete thermodynamic equilibrium the only thing left may, in fact, be random quantum process (because we can't have zero uncertainty even at absolute zero, there will always be some minimal vibrational energy unless Quantum Theory itself is wrong) that perhaps might have resulted in the formation of our own universe (through the gradual accumulation of matter and energy as a result of such processes, though not really currently understood in much detail). If a similar system is created under similar conditions, and things come to pass as it did in our universe, then perhaps this event will always occur. Otherwise, it must be an isolated event within our own instance that is simply self-propagating once initialized. Nothing in our universe happens without a causal effect, but said causal effect itself is inevitable depending on how you look at the nature of a Deterministic (and self-contained) System. The Big Bang is the ignition factor for our current system, and must have been caused by some preceding system, that cycle itself must have been incepted by another. But fundamentally, there must be some single instance or event that began all of this. The loop itself is the same, it is effectively infinite, and as such the iteration shown in the film is irrelevant (as the difference between 1 and n+1 is not significant), this could be the first loop, it could be the latest one in an infinite series, that really doesn't matter. But some aspect of the system itself established that loop as a part of the process of optimization. There was a start, somewhere, with something, but that start means nothing aside from establishing the workings of the system itself. That may have been the point you were getting at with the notion of a cyclical loop and how the Bootstrap Paradox might not apply here, but I think it is quite difficult to ever assume that a cycle is both infinite and constant with no factor to ever initiate that cycle by the very notion of our own minds (humans are very much focused on cause and effect by nature, it's how we survived). Tenets paradox is one of stability, this system is now stable, and as such you cannot see a beginning or an end while within said system. But that doesn't mean there could not have been one. This feels a little like a ramble on a singular point with no meaning right now, but I hope the point I meant to bring up was actually clear haha.
