Film: Tenet (8-27-20)

[Strat]

Yea maybe this just wasn’t good.

Nolan’s ego. That should be his next movie

[spike]

The wacky Nolan stuff wasn’t enough to overcome the lack of any interesting character development. Pattinson being the woman’s son is sort of interesting I guess.

I think I missed that.


Patinson was great though.

[Strat]

It’s like Nolan heard all of the negative feedback about his films - took serious offense to it - dug his heels in - and doubled down on it all with this fil

Then it performed poorly and he blamed the industry.

I don’t know.

I love his films but this was ridiculous

[Anders]

This movie was really weird.

Beautifully made and shot, and I loved the scenes from Oslo. Less than a km from my apartment.

The concept was just too much though. Although I plan on seeing it again, and that might help.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That might be the best thing I've ever found in a clickbait article

I was very often confused the whole time.

Then when it felt like I understood things, it ended.

I watched again and don’t think i understand the logic of it all

I might watch again, but my main problem is one that others have already posted about:

If it supposedly can't change the future why would the future go to such lengths to change the past?

I read a summary of the movie.

So Tenet (is that the Protagonist's name?) does all this to set up Sator and free his son and wife from an abuser?

And it's not that Tenet was trying to change anything it's how it was always going to turn out for Sator.

Strange.

[epilogue]

Ok, after sleeping on this for a night:

I watch and read a lot of stuff on time travel theory, so I'm not the best person to speak to this because all that has done is made my feeble brain confused. But, the future people want to destroy the current day people because we fucked up the planet. At least according to Sator. Also, the future people believe the in the theory that changing their past wont' affect their present, right? Like, if I kill your grandfather in the past, that won't make you disappear in the present. With that being said, wouldn't that apply to everything? So if they destroy the past, their planet being fucked up in the future isn't going to change.

I just watched the movie. And I've only seen it once. And I haven't read any articles yet. But... I think (?) that's what all the parallel universe stuff was about. I don't fully get it. But I think that's why that stuff is in there, to explain the paradox away.
