The thing I love msot about Christopher Nolan is that he hasn't stopped trying new things and a improving upon the formula that has made him so much money. A lesser director would just make inception over and over again and get rich off of it but Nolan is constantly trying to be better. While certain things he tries don't pay off I still respect the effort.

His film, "Interstellar" for me, remains easily amongst my top 10 films of all time. I'm a sci-fi geek when it comes to film and the ponderous, philosophical combined with genuine scientific implications of that film absolutely astonished me after seeing that one! I just love both the "wormhole scene" and then finally the more famous, "Black hole" scene exist as some of the greatest cinematic, mindbogglingly beautiful scenes ever put to film.

@@tf2scoutpunch175 sure, if you're actually curious. For example: In quantum vacuum fluctuations two virtual particles appear spontaneously. Lets say its an electron with spin +1/2, negative charge and regular matter. The partner particle will be a positron, an electrons antiparticle. That Positron will have negative energy, positive charge and -1/2 spin. Their properties cancel each other out. in this case you can assume (according to CPT symmetry) that the positron isn't actually an anti particle with positive charge and -1/2 spin but rather the regular electron traveling back in time. Due to the time reversal the spin goes from +1/2 to -1/2, the properties reverse from negative to positive charge. (negative and positive energy are negligible here because they don't have anything to do with reverse entropy and only serve to keep the energy sum at 0 to not violate thermodynamics) This is only one example. But the fact that positrons, and any anti particle for that matter, is the regular particle with reversed entropy has been well studied. However this only works in theory from a mathematical standpoint. We may never know wether it is actually traveling back in time. However, from what we know it is very well possible. Here is an article for more info: phys.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Modern_Physics/Supplemental_Modules_(Modern_Physics)/Antimatter If you're curious, quantum fluctuations are a very fascinating phenomenon worth looking up. I gave you the short version. But he appearance of energy out of nothing does not violate thermodynamics. crazy stuff

What I like about Nolan is that he trusts the audience to figure things out instead of a typical Hollywood thriller that walks you through step by step what is happening or at least makes the outcome obvious and clichéd. Tenet is indeed a huge technical achievment but is lacking in emotional impact that steals from the films potential. Nolan's next film about Oppenhiemmer will I hope be more balanced...

In Tenet, after the big military battle and the death of Sator, the Protagonist and Neil have a conversation where it dawns on the Protagonist that he is the architect and Neil is his greatest friend. It is clearly meant to be a moving scene, given the tears streaming down the Protagonist's face. However, it left me completely blank and confused. Christopher Nolan must have buried himself in this theoretical headfuck world for too long and lost the perspective of the audience, or perhaps he just wanted to write a more headfucky movie than Primer.

But emperor Nolan often really has no clothes on. It's all vanity. I appreciate what he's trying but the novelty has worn off long ago. I still love Memento. There's something like an Occam's razor to story telling, where maintaining simplicity in it's design often is a virtue. I never feel like having to remember 10 different names or 20 different timelines.

I went into this movie really wanting to enjoy it. I'm not one of those people that thinks that everything Nolan touches turns to gold, but I have very much enjoyed some of his past movies, such as Memento, The Prestige, Inception, and even Interstellar (even though I acknowledge that it has some story flaws). The thing is, each one of those films has a central character that I came to care about. I cared about the motivations for the characters that Guy Pearce, Hugh Jackman, Leonardo Dicaprio, and Matthew McConaughey played in those films. In this film, it felt to me that the characters are essentially stand-ins for concepts, even more so than in some of Nolan past films, and ultimately I ended up feeling kind of lukewarm about this film when it was over. There were definitely some amazing moments, and I wouldn't say that I completely disliked it, but I walked away feeling that it is unlikely that I'll have the burning desire to watch it again, despite the fact that repeat viewings would probably be interesting on an intellectual level. Also, I agree with this review in that the sound mixing is just incredibly bad for a big-budget film. There were indeed moments where I had trouble understanding what was being said, and I work on producing music/audio on regular basis so, I use my ears critically often and yet, there were times when the dialogue in this film was almost inaudible to me.

They have to go on a road trip across america to see all the places he wanted before he died and a way to get them to reconsile. Its about generations and rebels realising time moves without them and they meet a woman Chloe Moretz that is becoming them. But its complex in timelines and a web of set ups over decades that pay off in this trip. Waits, the waster has a studebaker cliche and Pearlman quips "what are you a fucking muppet?

Not only was it his and Leo (DeCaprio)'s favorite scene, he also believed that Julia Butters (the young girl actor from the set) would win an Oscar. Good to see that one of the best directors around is willing to let other people tell him no, and he to an extent will listen. I think Nolan could do with the same.

Nolan makes movies that sometimes work like a miracle and other times they simply don't. One thing you can credit him though is that he never produces unimaginative boring crap. In a day and age when movies tend to be safe, bland and unchallenging, Nolan is a breath of desperately needed fresh air. Whether his new movies succeed in their goal or not, they are something to look forward to and that today is a big win.

the reason why he of all characters seems the most confident and in control is because.... he is. Some people don't agree with the whole Neil is just older Max theory, but if you follow it, it makes logical sense that he would be doing the most time travel through inverting himself, and as such, is more knowledgeable of all events in the movie than every other character. In essence, it would make him the true protagonist as the current protagonist set him on a path to help him for just this reason. After writing this comment, I realize now that talking about this movie results in a lot of circular logic that more or less just says "it happened because it happened" but in a way, thats kind of the movie's charm.

Your assessment of movies seems to generally match my opinion, and Tenet seems another match. I just watched this last night with my wife, and my wife had tuned out by the end of the movie, and I kept at it, hoping to be drawn in by some event that eventually sewed everything together. This didn't seem to occur, at least not to my level of intellect, I guess. ;) It was fun to look at, interesting in spots, but I found myself watching something that just didn't gel and make me invest my interest and emotion into it. A handful of scenes were quite cool visually, but I never really bought into the reverse time and how it was being integrated into the story. And that red/blue soldiers battle at the end just seemed like a bunch of guys running around shooting things you never actually saw shooting back. Felt like some kind of 'marvel cgi mess' where 1000s of characters who meant nothing were fighting battles that didn't matter.

The Protagonist was a soldier in something that was instructed by no one and for nothing much I felt/heard/saw... and I liked Tallin and the Linnahaal. You're last comment was accurate.

It has a great high-concept plot that moves us through these spectacular set pieces, but very little in actual story that would've been important to understand the value of certain things beyond plot devices or people beyond their roles and tasks. Another thing about the film that really bugs me is that the movie clearly wants to be bloodier than it actually is, but they don't want to risk the PG-13 rating, so we get a lot of bloodless gunshots, stabbings, etc. Just pulls me out of the movie a bit more.

The lead actor, Denzel Washington's son, was wooden and drove a lot of the disinterest for me, Robert Pattinson was excellent. The sound balance had me reaching for the off switch on numerous occasions and the ending made me wonder why I had resisted. Time travel needs to be handled correctly and I'm not sure it ever has been. It always raises the paradox questions like "if you travel back in time to prevent X then the reason for you travelling in the first place ceases to exist, so you don't, so X happens which makes you travel back in time...... and the parallel universe explanation is bullshit too, if you're changing the events in a parallel universe then really, what's the point?. What I did find good conceptually was the incorporation of the well known physics principle that it is the flow of entropy that causes and maintains the arrow of time.

No question about. It has a compelling story. It looks great, it doesn't have Hans Zimmer re hashing the same handful of tunes over and over. It has a sub text about the magic of the movies versus the hard graft that goes into making them and it has the mystery surrounding the truthfulness of the magicians' respective diaries to one another. Inception is good fun, but every other film you can keep.

@drankydrank13 жыл бұрын
Agreed... and in this I was just waiting for 'Protagonist' to be told what the audience already knew from the beginning. I think the main issue with the attempted twist, was the lack of misdirection. If they had revealed a new character to be the attacker in the freeport, or the leader of the 'timecops' - it would have felt unearned and frustrating. But leaving no other options just left the audience waiting... Waiting sucks.

@@mahbubulhaque735 yeah, the way they travel backwards is different, but the mechanism of the time travel is similar, can only go back as far as a fixed point as you need to set time in the correct orientation. But also the multiple versions of yourself already on their pre-destined routes. The more I think about the movie though, the more the flaws there really bother me for a guy that claimed to have thought it out for years.
@mahbubulhaque7352 жыл бұрын
@@JayFlowie I don't think "You can go far as a certain point" is quite right. In Primer you have to be in the box for 6 hours to travel back. Thus you make a new version of yourself. But, that's how every time travel movie works. Prisoners of Azkaban also did that before Primer (Though it's a fantasy). In Tenet you don't have to be in the turnstile to travel back. Turnstile is something like a time inversion door. When you enter the turnstile you only create an inverted version of yourself. Like Primer you can't jump to a certain moment. You have to go in the real time to be in that moment. BTW, can you tell me the problems you found in the movie? Maybe, I have the answer. I am not a Science expert. I've watched it like 6 times and I found some interesting facts which I can share. I also think Tenet is not perfect. But, it's imperfection somehow made it a perfect film. At least, for me.

Tenet was Nolan out Nolaning himself. It was sort of a self-parody. It was a wink at the audience and then turning the amp up to 11. And the sound was bad on purpose, because it doesn't matter what they were saying. That's the point. Who cares what his name is, he's "generic Nolan protagonist #10." As they tell you at the beginning (where you can hear), and used extensively in the promotional campaigns "Don't try to understand it, feel it." It's just a fun action movie, with fun characters doing Nolanesque movie stuff.
