    One of the theory's that i love is that *NEIL* is Kat's son maximi *LIEN* . Which implies that when Max grows up he has to become Neil to protect the world and Priya from killing his mother in the past. Also a fun theory is that Michael Caine's character could possibly be Yves.

      Heres the problem with that theory. The movie states and shows that inverted time moves at the same speed as conventional time. So Neil would have to stay inverted for like 15 - 20 plus years to be around when he is also a child. Think about it.

Look Nolan don't give a F, but he doesn't do random either. Neil is Max 100% but they didn't need to add that twist so didn't bother trying to explain it... There are a number of small details they didn't bother with in this movie but who cares for the most part it all works and is pure genius to pull off. Great vid btw. Also, Neil inverts at the end and doesn't immediately go back to the door.... He goes to the oprah house first, and some theorize he goes back even further in conventional time, reinverts, and gets cast in a teenage vampire movie.

      @@nostalgiaclive I don't understand why this scene manifests in a fight.
      I see it like this:
      R-Protagonist is trying to get to the turnstile, while F-Protagonist is trying to prevent him from leaving the building. The net force of this to F-Protagonist would be R-Protagonist accelerating away from him the more he tries to restrain him, before being sucked out of the building, while to R protagonist, F protagonist would be dragging him towards the turnstile as hard as he could. Hence, no fight should have occurred - from each other's perspectives, they both should have been inadvertently facilitating each other's movement, surely?
      What are your thoughts on this?

    • @rockstermaniac
      @rockstermaniac Před 2 měsíci +6

      @@C.I... the problem with why this results in a fight can be explained by the protagonist's own nature. As pointed out he's cautious and paranoid. He wasn't expecting anyone to know they were going to be here. So from the moment R-Pro exits the turnstyle F-Pro is already attempting to subdue him. So the first thing that happens from his point of view is a stranger bumping into him at full speed while he's holding half of an assembled gun... that's his mistake that causes the fight moving forwards in time. He picks up the discarded gun thereby creating a universe where it must have been disarmed from him in the first place. He doesn't cause the fight to occur since the objects in the fight have reverse entropy but his decision to pickup the weapon means that there was always a fight over a weapon.
      From the R-Pro POV he goes in with a gun drawn and that's the mistake that causes a fight to happen. The gun ends up in F-Pros hands because of the shockwave of being blasted backwards by the reverse exploding engine. R-PRO knows how the fight went the first time even if he cant remember the exact steps and knows he's paranoid enough to do something stupid so long as he's holding a weapon so from his POV the entire fight isn't just to get to the turnstyle it's to prevent the gun from ending up in his former self's hands intact. So the R-PRO is obligated to provoke a fight moving backwards in time to keep the gun out of his own hands the fact the F-PRO assists in moving him towards his objective doesn't change the very real threat the gun possesses.
      And finally at the turnstyle he succeeds in disarming it but from the F-Pro POV the gun is being assembled and used to reverse fire bullets into his skull even though from the R-Pro perspective he was unloading it.

      @C.I... Před 2 měsíci +1

      @@rockstermaniac Just realised I got it wrong. I had to break it down into two fights happening simultaneously to fix it in my head.
      In reverse, F protagonist attempting to pull him towards the turnstile to prevent him leaving would be a force pushing R Protagonist away. R protagonist has to push against this.
      Going fowards, R protagonist's pushing would manifest as a pull to F protagonist, further incentivising a pull from F protagonist.
      I think the struggle comes from the way it would end up being like trying to get past or pull on a brick wall, as they are both equally strong.
      Your points still stand, of course - that all makes sense too.
      I'm going to have to watch it over and over again to try to understand what each of the fight moves exert on each of them from the perspective of their respective time flows :/
      What a fun film.

      @@C.I... Inverted Protag is also trying to buy time. they tell us he can't enter the turnstile until he sees himself enter on the other side. the moment he saw himself pointing a gun in his face he likely had some general idea of what would happen. inverted isn't really trying to resist as he wants the fight to lead back to the room so I'm not sure if forces really apply for him specifically. their knowledge and goals in this situation are significantly different. F protag has clear intentions to apprehend this unknown and strange person while inverted protag just needs to resist enough to not die from a gunshot as the fight will lead him back to the room. once they are in the room with the turnstile he kept looking to see his other forward self enter.

    The point of "knowledge divided" is slightly more than just trust issues. That's certainly part of it. Future P who founds TENET has learned ANY information can be passed on to "posterity", which is the Antagonist. Dividing up the information makes it hard to collect and save for posterity to learn about.
    Any time P does something that will be recorded in a newspaper or police report, Sator knows about it already because posterity knows from the records and will have told him.
    Posterity is not even aware that the hypocenter got attacked, because the explosion that was reported was their plan to bury the algorithm, and nothing about the operation was saved in records.

      The protagonist of the present is the antagonist from the future (or from the future's perspective, the antagonist from the past is the protagonist of the future). I honestly thought Nolan was being extremely on-the-nose with calling the process of going backwards through time "inversion" (and literally having the Protagonist fight himself in the same scene, hence making him his own antagonist) since it can be applied to character roles, but here we are. I haven't seen anyone else notice.

      @ Correct. His principles didn't change. He didn't change his mind. His position was always to fight for the survival of the _world that he lives in._ When he gets to the future, he still sees it as his own world, or, more accurately, the future world is his future self's present.

      @ He doesn't know that. The movie demonstrates that objects reversing through time force causes to fit their effects (from the perspective of conventional time). It's likely a future inverted world can literally rewrite causes so it can exists as it travels back in time.
      Also, it's a fact the present world dies no matter what. This isn't a happy ending for the present world whether the future wins or loses. Either they win, and then over time become the future world and dies from pollution, or they lose and the future erases them. Either way, they die.

    _TENET_ is the only movie I have gone to see three times in the same week.

  • @ghosttwo2
    @ghosttwo2 Před 2 měsíci +6

    Tenet only makes any sense from the perspective of the viewer. Consider a bank robbery, where you reverse time, steal a duffle bag full of money from the counter, then leave. From the banks' perspective, there is an empty counter, a guy runs in backwards and sets a duffle bag of money down, then runs out the door again. Where did the dufflebag come from? Same thing with the reverse bullet holes. Did they suddenly appear that morning looper-style, were they built along with the building and nobody noticed?

    • @barthilhorst7551
      @barthilhorst7551 Před 29 dny +1

      This is subtly addressed in the movie. The bullet holes appear as the moment when they're made draws closer. Same with the mirror on the BMW. Moments before impact with the Audi it suddenly starts to get cracks in it, before it is "reverse damaged" by the collision.

    • @ClockworkGearhead
      @ClockworkGearhead Před 27 dny +2

      It's somewhat addressed in the movie, and it supports the theory I have that "The Protagonist," is wrong and killed the world.
      The "grandfather paradox" is addressed as the reasoning from stopping the global inversion, because a future without a past simply doesn't exist, so its equivalent to killing everyone. But cracks form in mirrors and bullet holes appear. The paradox was solved (at least in this film) as inverted matter _making new causes and circumstances for themselves_ as they regress through time. Most of the time it fits into the usual cause-and-effect of matter, the times it didn't fit in it just made its own causes. In other words, it simply came from nowhere. Neil touches on this when he mentions two time streams pushing against each other. Eventually, all the events of Tenet would simply disappear anyway.
      Now, the twist here is the Protagonist gets to the future (in the conventional sense), fighting for the "present's" survival, and realizes the "future" world is dying anyway. Pollution. All that fighting to prevent the global inversion simply put into play the world's death, but it's not like the "protagonist's" principles have changed, he still fights for the world's survival _that he exists in._
      Who else would know enough about Sator to sent into events of his life? _The Protagnist from the future._
      Or, more precisely, _the Antagonist for the present,_ an _inverted Protagonist._ The reason he sent Neil to go save him in the past? Not to save his life, but to _remove Neil as an obstacle to hiding the algorithm._ He was still dressed in uniform, so that means two parts are unified together (if he still retained his piece and collected Neil's afterwards). The soldier with the third piece? He knows where he's going. The Protagonist inverted to Antagonist collected. How do I know this? Who else could have known where to collect it in the first place to tell Sator?
      And why did the movie end?
      The future collided into the present and stopped it (edit: the end of the reel/timeline, so to speak), the ultimate meta-statement metaphor about movies, something Nolan is fond of.

    24:45 the interogation scene is the hardest to understand imo.
    I think it only works if as you say Sator is CONFIRIMING information, and using his full knowledge of reverse time to interrogate P, but it's very hard to conceptulise.

    • @nostalgiaclive
      @nostalgiaclive  Před 2 měsíci +5

      Yeah, I agree.
      He asks for confirmation, but he also does things to encourage P to give the initial answer: He threatens “the next one’s a bullet to the head” and counts, but with no intention of actually doing it (because he already hasn’t) but makes that threat so that P will think he will.

    @foop145 Před 2 měsíci +7

    There's one other detail I love about the fight scene between P & himself. If you think about it, wrestling with an inverted person must be super easy. Like, if I'm inverted and I try to push on you, you're going to feel that more like I'm pulling you. Same goes for if you try to push on me. I'm gonna experience that as a pull.
    So the first time we see the fight, P is just trying to subdue what he believes to be a hostile assailant. He has no goals in terms of location, he just wants this guy restrained. However, when we see the fight a second time, P's goal is to get to the turnstile. He's essentially able to do this with no trouble. There are no detours in the route taken. Inverted P is able to go directly where he wants to go, because normal P is practically dragging him wherever he wants to go.
    The fight is so utterly insane, and so well thought out, I love it. This movie is riddled with stupid plot holes, but the stuff it does right, it does so absurdly right, I can't bring myself to care. I'm not joking when I say this is my favorite movie of all time, beyond a shadow of a doubt.

      One quick comment, again keeping in mind that I haven't seen the movie yet and am basing everything off of what you showed and explained in this video, but when talking about Neil's lockpicking abilities, I question whether these lockpicking abilities are centered around traditional lockpicking at all.
      That is, imagine that you have the ability to invert yourself in order to accomplish a task. In this case, we'll use the example of opening a locked door. One way would be to bust out a lockpicking kit and use it in a conventional manner. Another way would be to invert yourself and take actions in some way that would result in the door being opened when conventional people "observed" it (ie they walk up to the door and it's already open). Both methods result in the locked door being opened. To an outside observer, however the door managed to get opened does not matter, all that matters is that a locked door is now open.
      I'll have to watch the movie to see what I think, I but I strongly suspect that it might be implying that he has little or no conventional lockpicking skills and his real skills are all about using inversion to gain access.

    I've never seen your channel before but I've been dying for some good Tenet content as the film is just loaded to the brim with CZcams content like scene analysis and deconstruction. This is a great video, love your set, production and style. Keep it up man, you have the tools to go far.

    Your explanation on the red room, and the blue room makes the most sense out of everyone’s videos. I’ve watched so far. For the past four years, I’ve been bashing my head against the wall. Trying to understand it. Thank you so much. also, I don’t think we will ever fully comprehend this movie through and through because our brains are not designed to think forward and backward at the same time

      Thank you my friend, I’m glad to hear it ⭐️
      And agreed, there’s only so far we can take it before we can’t comprehend it anymore.
