I just now caught this, lol Feel free to tell me it’s hella obvious.
When Priya admonishes The Protagonist by saying he is not “the” but merely “a” protagonist- I think she was actually sort of right.
As in there are multiple iterations of The Protagonist with their fingerprints and footprints all over the temporal pincer maneuver and Tenet itself. So strictly speaking, his title couldn’t be considered singular.
Priya tells the story of the scientist who built the algorithm taking her own life so she couldn't be forced to build another. Don't ask why she didn't think of doing that before completing the first one and save the world all this hassle but whatever. TP asks "In the future?" Priya answers "Generations from now" but doesn't confirm those generations are in the future. Considering Tenet is streaming all kind of supplies and technology into the past, including entire armies of people, generations from now could easily mean generations into the past.
Think about how much more power any organization would have streaming from the future into the past with complete foresight of everything that is to come. Every once in a while you drop off agents with various missions at strategic time intervals along the way back. and they invert and start moving forward building an empire as you head back.
Remember the primary gripe is that their ancestors messed up the world environmentally AND they don't care if they destroy everything feeling it won't affect them. Why they are so confident it won't affect them, because they have moved to the past, destroyed the future and now will start moving forward in time again, cleaning up the mess of the world that was made by the previous tenants
watching Tenet again i realized the moment Tenet breaks down is when Kat spins the whole yarn about selling her husband the fake Goya for $9 million and then he threatened her with police and jail and now that's the hold he has over Kat. Kat is essentially Sator's prisoner and can barely see her own son or even have a pleasant dinner with someone because of the threat of jail time for a mistake she made with validating the fake Goya that was forged by her ex boyfriend Arepo.
I don't buy this at all. Kat is supposedly high born British, connected at the highest levels of British society. It's the reason Sator knocked her up was to gain access to the upper echelon of British elites, through Kat. It's even mentioned that Sator set up the freeports and Kat ropes in the high end clientele because of her connections.
How pray tell is it completely impossible for Kat to call up a judge or some high ranking military personnel who can arrange to get her son out of school early one day via armed military transport and then just plea deal away the consequences of accidentally certifying a forged painting? No way someone of Kat's status can't negotiate a forgery charge down to a slap on the wrist and possibly a fine.
The scene where Kat explains her plight is the first weak link in the storyline and unfortunately the entire rest of the movie drives off this premise of how trapped and helpless Kat is, and it simply doesn't add up that she has no friends in high places who would be able to help her get unstuck from Sator
If you liked the movie Tenet, and play video games.
Play the Black Ops 6 campaign
There are several missions that reminded me exactly of tenet scenes .
Please do enjoy
I mean, I see the temptation to add that semi-twist to the story, but I don't really see how that could be. It would imply so many stretches world-line-wise that I it seems to be impossible.
At what age does Max have to invert himself and how many years does he have to stay inverted before re-veryting himself back at the events of the movie? How was he supposed to find the turnstile to do that, if the only turnstile at the time of the events or prior is of Sator? Where does inverted Neal hides all these years and why doesn't he participate in the events of the film to help Tenet? How come he is sometimes so dramatic about the events of the film (or endorses such behavior from TP) if he supposedly already knows that Sator, his father, would have lost in the future?
I am confused
I've just watched Tenet for the 2nd time and I understand the rest of the movie (at least I think I do :/) but I cant wrap my head around about what happens to Kat after she jumps off the boat. Is the Kat that calls the protagonist when he kills Priya fully aware of what happened with her killing her husband and doing all the inversions etc etc?
Just would like to know if there exist people from the earth that have taken each scene, all of which when time analyzed together as a whole, fall into their respective places to form a truly coherent timeline - Checksum True, or we can agree that the prevalent and default state is Checksum False?
Maybe a better way to phrase it is that the more I study it, the more new things I notice about it, making me question what I thought I knew. This 3d bi-directional play by play is the current thing blowing my mind. Apologies if we’ve already shared this one.
It might not be saving the world, but I feel more ready to deal with things now that I found this 1943 one pice coin for my work bag.
Lovely conversation..😍😍😍😍
Mine is during the opening (or closing?) opera sequence when TP runs and slides so smoothly under the counter into the coat check.
This is hands down one of the most brilliant edit of tenet. Brilliant use of music while traversing between shots
This is funny.
Can anyone explain to me if for instance the bullet hole in the opera had been there since the opera house had been built?
Or had Robert Pattinson’s body been in front of the missile silo for eternity and the goons had simply been working around him?
Or the mirror on the car, had it been broken since it came off the assembly line?
Never understood the logic.
I know I know, “don’t try to understand it, just feel it”
Thought this might be appreciated here!
