[@eestiny9734]

Watched it a few times but still cringe a lot for some of the acting and some of the sci fi part!

[@kaleblagarde2382]

The soundtrack for this movie is played backwards halfway through. Just like Tenet is spelled Tenet backwards

[@1polyron1]

If you guys didn't catch it, Neil says goodbye to the Protagonist after the mission because Neil was the person that would fatally get shot protecting the Protagonist in that bunker. Neil went back in time again for the final time to save the day.

[@KT-zm1qw]

Was Neil the son too? I've always wondered because he said I will see you at the beginning because he knew he would die, but in the Protagonist's time he was a little boy?

[@1polyron1]

@@KT-zm1qw That's feasible. All we really know is that the "beginning" of Neil's and the Protag's relationship will be sometime in the future, not present in the movie. Also people have pointed out that on Kat's son's backpack is also that string with the loop that Neil wears.

[@isPOOThoovy]

​@K T No, despite the theories, Kat's son isn't Neil. For starters, Elizabeth Debicki debunked this IIRC. Secondly, in the movie, Neil is about 30 years old and Max is about 10 years old. If Max was recruited at the age of 20, he would have to be inverted and live his inverted life for another 10 years to reunite with TP at the age of 30.

[@1polyron1]

@@isPOOThoovy I couldn't find any source that stated Neil's age. Where did you find out he was "about 30"?

[@isPOOThoovy]

@PolyRon Just look at them and guess their age, we do it all the time in public. Secondly, just look at the actor's age. JDR, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor Johnson, and Himesh Patel are all over 30. Nonetheless, the point still stands, Neil would have to spend most of his adulthood inverted because inverted people still age forward, therefore Neil is not Max. And this theory has been debunked.

I saw Tenet 2x in the movie theatre. The first time you watch it you're in the Protagonist's shoes, the second time you're in Neil's shoes. It's not that confusing if you focus on the three main characters and their journeys. I adore Tenet, I even have a Sator square tattoo on my arm.

This movie only gets better and more clear on repeat viewings. It demands it. (One of my favorite details is that you can see Neil in the car pulling Ives and the Protagonist out of the hole just as the two teams are arriving in the helicopters to Stalk-12 for the final battle.)

[@melindamercier6811]

OK, this is long, but it has answers for anyone who needs them, lol. UGH! There are so few movies I will call a masterpiece. But this one? MASTERPIECE! People hated the lack of "depth" the characters had bc we're so used to watching mindless movies with shallow stories (unless that story is decently built through a series). Nolan instead wanted to tell a fantastic story with simple characters that wouldn't overcomplicate the story further. There's the good side, the bad side, and people to save in between. And despite this, Nolan purposefully made this movie complex enough to require more than one viewing to fully grasp the scope of it. He admits this himself many times. Bastically the movie IS a palindrome in and of itself. You're following a timeframe and going back in time with the characters to watch it again from the future's perspective during inversion. The characters have to live in the past for as long as it takes to get to the point they need to. And then, they have to relive that timeline when they move forward in time. Like you said, there are no fixed points to go to, so there is no time jumping. It's for sure, a very VERY long game. SPOILERS! As for the story: The distant Future wants to destroy the past because they believe it will change their current life, or at the very least, they're willing to chance it not working in their favor because things are so dire. Others disagree and believe it will utterly destroy everyone in all of humanity henceforth. Sator was contracted by the Future people to achieve this, gives him the tech to do it, and he agrees to this because at first it makes him rich and powerful, but even after finally understanding the repercussions he continues to see it through because he has nothing to lose as he's already dying. The Protagonist in the future, creates TENET and recruits people (pre-movie, or...post-movie depending on how you see it, lol) to save the world from The Algorhythm being put together and used. Neil is one of those people from the future and understands exactly what is going on the entire time because he's been briefed by future Protagonist. He inverts multiple times during his mission. Thus, the chaos of the movie ensues and we follow current-time Protagonist's story from the 14th on, and then back again. Fun facts: 1. A theory's been put out there that Niel may be Kat's son, Max (possibly, short for Maximilien, with Niel being "lien" backward). It's theorized that The Protagonist becomes part of young Max's life soon enough and helps raise him in order to recruit him and send him back in time to save the world from his father. 2. There are quite a few Protagonists, Neils, and Sators hanging around this pincer maneuver of a movie, lol. 3. The inspiration of the movie came from Sators Square which is a tablet that has a few words (easter egged in this movie actually) that are palindromed no matter what direction you read them in. 4. Pria mentions Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project when speaking with Protagonist. This is an easter egg bc "Oppenheimer" is Nolan's next movie. :) 5. PLEASE WARCH THE PRESTIGE!!!!!

[@BaddMedicine]

👏👏

[@tzeentchian]

What’s more he only creates tenet, because he has been recruited by them/himself

[@ShanobyKin]

Lot of it was filmed in my homecountry Estonia... it was a big deal to have Nolan do a movie in our small country :) Glad you guys checked it out! Interesting fact I also learned: Some 'Tenet' fans think Robert Pattinson's Neil is the grown-up version of Elizabeth Debicki's son.

[@OneHuntiBoi]

I hadn't thought about that before... and Rob had his hair dyed a dirty blonde (atleast highlights) instead of his natural brown... So that would make sense.

[@lobiseja3517]

Tervist kaas maalane

[@SETHthegodofchaos]

but how would that make sense with Neils statement about the Protagonist "having a future in the past". That would kind of mean that the Protagonist goes back in time. Therefore, the Protagonist would meet Neil in the past. Unless Neil/Maximilien travels in the past as well, this doesnt add up. Btw, I suspect the Protagonist might sacrafice himself for Neil at the beginning. Would be kind of poetic for both them to die for each other, and the mission of course.

[@Burner__]

Part of it was shot in India too. I was glad that it wasn't one of those stereotypical picturisation Hollywood is known for.

[@coldplayfan6070]

Well, it was a good thing Neil didn't tell Kat he was her son. That would've shattered the timeline.

[@VeTrey01]

The amount of detail that went into this movie (and all of Nolan's movies) is insane. The music, the choreography, John David Washington literally learning his fight scenes both forward and backward so they could film both ways. Chefs kiss

[@lizaechelon]

truth be told, I watched Tenet 7 times on a big screen (second only to 1917 with whopping 10 times i'm a psycho). Imaging not only listening to that heartbeat rhythm during the opera scene but also physically feeling the seats vibrate in tune... it was a second-to-none experience

[@CaptainSilent]

I watched it twice, dolby then imax. Great experience for sure

[@ClockworkMan13]

Nolan's The Dark Knight is the first film I say multiple times in the theater. Not becuase I missed anything, it was just that good. I love his films.

[@Real_MisterSir]

Something I noticed about Interstellar and TENET, is how they in some odd way work together. I don't know if this was Nolan's intention, but either way it's quite fascinating. In TENET, the entire reason for the plot is, that words from the future have spoken of a dying world, and the algorithm was based on possible salvation - but also potentially total destruction. If we then move on to Interstellar, here we see the world post-crisis. Almost all plant life is dead, the world is suffocating and life on the planet only has decades remaining. In Interstellar, it has been prof. Brand's entire life mission of solving the equation of gravity, and needing it for an algorithm to save humanity. Ultimately it is passed on to Murph, who solves it and forms the final algorithm. But how does she solve it? She is given hints from the future, her father speaks to her from his future self back through 5 dimensional spacetime - exactly how inversion works in TENET. So it could be plausible to assume, that what we see in Interstellar, is in fact the first working proof of inversion technology that is then used to communicate back to Earth's past in TENET, in hopes of saving Earth itself before its inevitable collapse. It also means that Sator, while clearly evil in mind, may have been right in his belief that the algorithm could save humanity - and by defeating him and disassembling the algorithm pieces, ultimately Earth DID move on its expected path of eventual biological collapse.

[@ClockworkMan13]

You might also count Oppenheimer. I don't think it was coincidence that he mentioned here while also being Nolan's next film.

[@thatfilmydesaikid]

Now that's some fine fanfic material right there. Mind if I use it with proper credit given? 😁

[@SETHthegodofchaos]

thats fun to think about. But remember that Cooper wasnt speaking to her from the future. He was in a 5 dimensional "space", so kind of outside time itself, no? He would have been at every time at once.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@SETHthegodofchaos Well technically there is no such thing as future and past, it's more a sense of what sequence we experience events that determines how we experience the concept of time. Also why the entropy of inverted objects in TENET can "move back in time", because to them time isn't a flow from one direction to another, but rather a collective pool of everything that happens, and we just observe their entropy relative to our own timeline experience. A little complex, definitely too much for a KZbin comment to ever breach the surface level of. But it's intriguing nonetheless.

[@Real_MisterSir]

@@thatfilmydesaikid Please go ahead! If anything, I just consider this a personal study of Nolan's works anyways so I treat my findings as "open source" :D But feel free to credit me if you'd like :)

It was one of the few movies to come out during Covid. Because of that I went to see it three times for support, and to better understand it. The more I've seen it the more impressed I am at how well written it is. I love an intelligent movie and this one doesn't disappoint.

[@rodrigofoli]

Nolan + Ludwig Goransson is a great duo just as Hans zimmer and Nolan was. Ludwig will also do the soundtrack of the upcoming Nolan's film Oppenheimer. And another duo is Hans zimmer and Dennis Villeneuve, they made Blade runner 2049 and Dune (which ended up winning the best soundtrack at the oscars)

[@neesonnaidoo4745]

This movie is meant to be watched a few times over. I was quite confused initially, but watching it a few times over made it better. Nolan's love of time and his concepts never fail to blow me away Also...I'm glad you guys know better than to not go into a Nolan movie tired and late at night lol. I don't think my brain could handle it

[@blitzgirl6522]

I love this movie even more, the more I watch it. It's meant to be watched multiple times and I keep picking up new details that make me appreciate it's creativity even more. I especially like it when I consider it is Nolan's version of a James Bond type of adventure. Love how cheeky the Protagonist is, he grew on me so quick.

[@TheBenperri]

I am not sure if I truly know what the hell is going on, but every time I watch this film, I am blown away more and more. Truly incredible film making in every way, shape, and form.

[@AGD_27]

So glad to see some guys really take the movies advice and "don't try to understand it" because as a result you just trust the mechanics and really understand the story even if you don't understand the inversion concept. The few people who have reacted to this most of them refuse to trust Nolan and while trying to understand it talk over the parts where things are being explained and the story is being told so they get to the end and understand nothing.

[@PuppetMaster-Blade]

Since you guys are on a Big Rob movie streak, i suggest reacting to "The Lighthouse", its a crazy movie but extremely great

[@arisenomega]

You don't have to know or understand every little detail to enjoy such an intense and visually impressive movie! I think it explains enough to be satisfying.

It blows my mind how creative Nolan is, no one else could have come up with this concept for a movie.

[@Vahni7]

The thing that impresses me the most about this movie is that Nolan always does everything practically, so yeah everything in this movie is actually done for real and no CGI. People and vehicles going forwards and backwards at the same time was actually done in real time, they trained actors for months to do it. It's insane how meticulously detailed everything is. Nolan is an absolute fucking GOAT! Btw, here's a nice little theory, Kat's son - Max, short for Maximilien, backwards - Neilimixam, Neil.

Interesting tidbit: There is an old archeological discovery called the "SATOR Square", A 5x5 letter grid made of five words in a row that is a palindrome both horizontally and vertically - SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS". And all of those words appear in the movie. SATOR is the antagonist's name, AREPO was the art forger who made the fake Goyas, TENET is obviously the title, OPERA is where the first scenes took place, and ROTAS was the name of the security company where the guards in the freeport scene worked. So everything is connected, as usual with Nolan, and everything works both forwards and backwards.

Rumor is that Robert Pattinson is the young boy. The son of the villain. He was recruited by the main character John David Washington.

[@trinasp]

I was able to watch this in the theater during the height of COVID. It took two viewings for me to understand the movie. I've seen it about 6 times now and it just gets better, and clearer for me. I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but there was some discussion and debate on Neil being Kat's son, Max. I think it was brought on by Neil asking him if he was going to look up Kat in the future. Even from afar. And when he kills Priya, he watches Kat and her son walk away "from afar". If true, that would mean that Neil helped to take out his own father as well as operated on his own mother. I believe Nolan confirmed that they were not the same person. Great reaction guys!

[@Yora21]

It's always so much fun to see people who don't look like the intended audience for these kinds of movies really getting into them.

[@elliotyoung8760]

I think I watched this movie 7 times to completely understand it, along with some analysis youtube videos. I loved each viewing and being able to understand it on the last watch was an amazing experience. That was more than a year ago now, so I have since forgotten many big points. Many people had an issue with the characters being bland but that was Noland's experiment, if he could make a compelling movie without complex characters or going into depth. I didn't have much of a problem with it as everything else was so gripping, though I understand if this kind of viewing experience isn't for everyone.

[@ulricaandrae4381]

I had to re-watch it when it was available to stream. The cinema experience was awesome though but I think I have to watch it again 🙈 Robert Pattinson is really good in ”Devil all the Time” and ”Remember Me”, hope you’ll react to them some day. As always, I enjoy your channel very much! 🤗

This movie changed my mind on Robert Pattinson as an actor. Before this, I only knew him as a sparkling vampire and as Cedric Digory in Harry Potter - he played Cedric well, but it wasn't a memorable role, so sparkling vampire kind of stuck as his main thing. But in this movie, oh man, he was my favorite character, which is saying something because John David Washington also did a great job.

[@H1Mann]

I don't know you guys caught it or not Niel died saving protagonist, he took bullet for him while opening the lock in last fight, the guy with ribbon on backpack. That's why he said this is the end of the beautiful friendship. Protagonist saw that backpack, he recognised Niel is going to die while opening the lock for him, but he didn't stop him. Also fun fact: reverse the name of Cat's son.

[@amberwright6918]

I don't know if you guys figured it out but Niel was her son all grown up. That's how the protagonist knew to recruit him.

Ryan George’s Pitch Meetings on Nolan movies are all great! Tenet, Inception, the Dark Knight trilogy… that could be a fun reaction video!

Tenet is one of my favorite movies. I had the opportunity to see it in IMAX and the music, the visual aspects, just indescribable. Unfortunately, due to the specificity of the film and the pandemic period, Tenet was not successful. Every day I check youtube to see if "Tenet Reaction" has popped up. Glad to see Your reaction. Tenet is a specific film that needs to be watched even twice to better see the interesting things. For example, in the scene with the airport, when the main characters (being inverted) are running next to the plane, in the background You can see an ambulance being entered by characters in dark clothes. They are our charecters, but already inverted to normal time. Or the highway music in the Saab scene is the same, only reversed, as right after the heist. I would love to see Your reaction to another, my most favorite movie - Alita: Battle Angel. From James Cameron, directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Nolan purposely didn’t focus on character, hence JDW being called The Protagonist.

[@melindamercier6811]

I completely disagree. Watching the movie multiple times is essential to understanding it. It’s phenomenally done time-travel theory that is certainly difficult to grasp but with enough thought, makes a lot of sense. The problem is keeping up with which characters are in what timelines.

[@BajaBCat]

@@melindamercier6811 If you create a film that requires multiple views for the story to make sense to the audience, then you have a poorly written story. Moviegoers are looking to be entertained, not spend 2+ hours performing narrative or character analysis.

[@BajaBCat]

@@Kampyy531 @Colin K I'm aware it was intentional, but regardless if it was intentional or not my statement is still correct. Nolan didn't focus on the characters because he was more interested in his gimmick and the visual shots and effects he could create for said gimmick. Hence why the story is vague and difficult to follow, and why it's also difficult to relate to the characters (including the protagonist) as we know very little about them.

[@davidjackson4462]

I'm not sure if you caught it but it's heavily implicated that Neil is the son of Kat because his dialect was changed to the same as Kats although Rob has a different accent. He also dyed his hair, The main protagonist is hinted to become the step father or a father figure to Neil hence why he knows so much about him. But that is just a fan theory but Nolan confirmed that there is a secret behind this film.

[@lucifer68661]

I think that Neil (Robert Pattinson) is an adult Max (Sator and Kat's son).

[@michaelklaus]

33:26 Not sure you noticed but Neal here says 'he wouldn't do that' because he is well aware who they are dealing with; meaning he wouldn't shoot or kill his future alter ego. Which brings us right back to the question IF The Protagonist could have killed this older self since we later find out that Neal was recruited at an even later point in The Protagonist's life. It should be obvious that nothing here works with the assumptions about time travel physics from Back to the Future but instead works exactly like Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban (right up to the point where people are warned not to meddle with their past selves because they might accidentally kill themselves).

[@michaelklaus]

33:30 And that assumption is sadly nonsense. Is it weirdly common but nonsense nontheless. Did you ever hear about the thought experiment The Ship Of Theseus? It was critical in one of the MCU titles. IF you know about it (or looked it up now), you might want to question what makes up the matter of any time traveler and what makes it different from any other matter in the universe. Nothing. Well... IF we applied a(n over)generalized version of the Kopenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics we could assume that a time traveler makes up a definite macroscopic system on which we could apply certain quantum mechanical theories. But DO YOU? Does anybody? No. So why do people assume that it can be bad if any of the rather nondistinctive matter comes in touch with any other nondistinctive matter during time travel? Especially thinking both would annihilate itself in the process? Because that is an assumption about matter and antimatter. Not about matter and also matter just displaced in spacetime. In fact the moment The Protagonist enters the Turnstile there should be no doubt that matter and reversed matter should be able to coexist. It is the air in the turnstile. Air isn't a vacuum. It mostly consists of nitrogen. So once the nitrogen atoms are reversed they emerge into the open when people leave the facility... there isn't actually some airlock making sure that the nitrogen atoms don't interact with themselves. Well the movie kinda says there is, implying that you can grab an oxigen mask before you leave through the airlock but there isn't. You simply breathe the air you brought with you in the Turnstile until you grab the mask. Or rather a mix which makes it difficult to breathe. So why should people do? There isn't any hard scientific reason at all. It is apparently an arbitrary fictional rule. Is typically used in movies to keep production costs low: if the time travellers cannot interact with themselves, they do not have to be put in the same scene twice. Then again it also leads to hilarious writing how the time travellers try to avoid their alter egos. But apart from that there is no real reason to it... unless you fear that a military time traveller might actually kill his other self. Then you obviously tell him to not even create such a situation. Or in case of time travel according to Novikov's self-consistency principle: if you fear that a military time traveller has been killed by his younger self. Which is exactly what is going on in this scene. PS: The arbitrary "as long as the time traveler is not seen by his other self". Why? Why had it done any difference?

35:06 Here we can observe that "seeing you other self" does not have any consequences whatsoever.

What I would love to see would be a sequel to this film from the point of view of the future, where this time around they're portrayed as the heroes and Tenet is seen as the bad guys in the mix, as they're trying to save the past at the expense of the future, a film where our allegiances actually flip in favor of what are presented as the villains of this film. Incidentally, not only was Gilderoy Lockhart in this film, but Fleur Delacour and Cedric Diggory, as well. (Amazingly, Michael Caine was somehow never in Harry Potter.)

Love this movie! Saw it for the first time in theater, and for some reason I understood it right away🙈 I think a lot of people maybe over-complicate things when watching movies like this and that that’s why they don’t get it at first🧐 And like The Oak said, we’re used to watching people jump in time in movies, but here you can’t jump back or jump forward, you gotta "rewind and press play" to the point you want to be at⏪️▶️ Personally I rarely get so emotional that I cry while watching movies, but man when she jumped off that boat and was finally free 😭 definitely cried in the theater then😭🥲 and at the end when she had called about the car and the protagonist killed those two before they could kill her, and he sees her walk away hand in hand with her son😭😭😭 I give Tenet a 5 out of 5 🥲👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So my first viewing was in Dolby. The dialogue was too drowned out by the loud dolby sound lol. When I rewatched the movie in imax I was able to hear the dialogue and it made a bunch more sense. This is one of those Nolan movies where u pick up on more and more stuff on rewatches. I enjoyed Tenet and can't wait for Nolans Oppenheimer in the summer

[@halflucan]

I can answer all your questions about Tenet The "Temporal Pincer" is a move where it guarantees the best possible outcome for the people performing it If Blue team goes back in time and see's something horrific, they'll let Red team know - and because Red would adjust their strategy, blue sees something different entirely and this happens recursively until you get the best outcome Likewise, the lady did get assassinated in an alternate future, but by calling "Posterity" that outcome never happened because JDW always intervened.

[@byron7583]

My Guys Are Back!! 👈👈. I love Tenet, I think it's vastly underrated

[@fayej6591]

My mom and I watched the last 15min items of this movie about 10 times the night we first watched it trying to figure out what the heck happened.

[@MsSmokeandmirrors]

Definitely Lockhart and, if you didn't notice, the female scientist showing JDW the bullet is Clemence Poesy, AKA Fleur Delacour....

[@sreyangovender3404]

The first and only black James Bond!

[@kdizzle901]

This such a fun Nolan film

[@musicaddict4041]

SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS Read it from left to right,and reverse,up and down or reverse,Nolan always f...s with our minds 🤣❤️

[@ariklan8339]

If you like this style of movies (spy stuff mixed with time etc) you will definetly love Inception with Leo DiCaprio and other amazing actors. If you haven't watched it definetly do it! Probably THE best movie by C. Nolan (personal opinion).

[@natasyas3444]

I was wondering if anyone did a reaction to this movie and I’m happy to find that one of my favorite reactors had done it! I wonder if they will find the other Harry Potter Goblet of Fire alumni in this movie😃 It took me a couple of watch too before I got it😅

[@mb2001]

9:14 Jeremy Theobald from Following, Nolan's first feature film

[@robinrudnicki8449]

The actress in scene 6:55. I just realized she plays Fleur Delacour from Harry Potter ! And she is back in a film with Cedric Diggory !

[@AgentH53]

3:00 They probably knock out the audience so they don't panic, hurt themself ETC 8:10 Reverse bungy ump 36:17 Funny she mentioned Oppenheim. That is Nolan's next movie

[@Nickreds20]

Hey guys! Still convinced you gotta watch The Prestige and Memento, also by Nolan! You wont regret it, trust me. Incredibly interesting and deep movies. Dark too.

[@UkePlayah]

I had to see this movie a second time but still failed to get it all. Still a fun movie but I prefer my time travel a more straight forward like The Time Machine (1960) where Rod Taylor goes into the future, fights some morlocks and gets the girl (Yvette Mimieux, love her younger self). Can't wait for Nolan's next one, Oppenheimer. Thanks for the reaction guys.

[@Dannydarko27]

Definitely one hell of a film, especially on multiple watches

[@garypasquill2355]

I watched this at the cinema, afterwards I had to explain it to about 10 people what they had just watched ,I didn't fully understand everything but I got more than everyone else .

[@monalicee]

Its funny bc i loved tenet way more than inception 😭

[@Yoyomo124]

I absolutely love this movie! My favorite Nolan film after Inception.

[@robertjohn2907]

Nolan at his Nolanest, from its strengths and flaws.

[@RandomGuy-pc4gp]

I was 13 when this came out and I was somehow able to understand everything.

[@FdotStizzy]

I haven’t even started the video yet, but just wanna say Neil is the kid! Lol

[@kaleblagarde2382]

The soundtrack for this movie is played backwards halfway through. Just like Tenet is spelled Tenet backwards

[@GusHdzRuiz]

Congratulations on almost hitting 100k!

[@BaddMedicine]

Thank you. Almost there. 🤜🤛
