Tenet, when future and past are mixed up
I hope you’ll enjoy my first article given that I’m new in the
OIB section, and for today, I’d like to talk you about the movie I saw at the
cinema last week : Tenet
This action and science-fiction movie is about a spy that discovered a new type of arm that could actually destroy the world : reversed chronology. Some scientist will show him different weapons vestiges of a FUTURE world war 3! But how can it be possible?
Some explanations : For example, a reversed bullet is a bullet that come back in the gun because he has already been shot in the future, because the bullet is going from the future to the past, from our point of view. But from its point of view, he moves forward normaly and so our world is reversed. That’s how these vestiges came from the future to us, the present. Here the car comes from the future, that's why at the beginning it is crashed.
You don't understand? Neither do I.
So the spy has to find the producer of this type of
bullet, because if he can do that, he could for example reverse a bomb, that
will not annihilate the world in the future, but in the past, and do much more
damages.
He will finally meet the producer’s wife and will be helped by Neil (Robert Pattinson).
Really watch this movie, it is really good, there are
a lot of revelations, the history is complex just as I like, but I will not hide you
that I did not understand everything in the second part of the movie, because
we see the Protagonist in the futur AND in the past AT THE SAME TIME!
If you have already seen and enjoyed Inception, then you will
appreciate even more this movie, realised by one of the best filmmaker
ever : Cristopher Nolan (Dark Knight , Interstellar, Dunkerque).
I know we envisage talking about this movie at the cinema club in October, this article is here to give you a forestate so you decide to watch it or not at the cinema.
Love you (and love Robert Pattinson)

Hi! I really liked your article and I can't wait to go out and see this movie. Are you going to be in the movie club?
ReplyDeleteDelighted you liked it! Yes, I allow to take part in the movie club
DeleteGood job ! I plan on watching this movie for quite a long time ago, being a fan of Nolan's films :)
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a fascinating movie, which is why I'm not surprised it's been proposed for the cinema club. Considering the relationship between time, cause and effect is not only philosophically interesting, it also creates opportunity for great fiction (films and books). I'll spare you this time book recommendations, unless you're asking for them. In which case, I'll be more than happy to oblige....
ReplyDeleteYou made me want to watch this movie so much, I hope I'll be able to understand it anyway, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI’m just seeing how this article is a few years old but i just had to comment, i find that tenet is the best movie i have ever seen. Now that i think about it it was mostly accidental, but wow am i glad I’ve watched it like 4 times now. Nobody really understands tenet, we just feel it (movie reference).
ReplyDeleteIt has one if the if kt the most powerful cinematography I’ve ever seen, at first if you describe it as “world on brink of WW3, protagonist needs to save us” it seems cliche, but when you watch it you see how actually deep this movie is, the layers upon layers of subtle details and theories you can construct are just unreal. With all the times I’ve watched it i still genuinely get confused every time and even understand less lol.
