Tenet is probably Nolan's most brain-burning movie so far. At first, the movie was a bit like the spy action movie we are familiar with, and then slowly the plot began to take a miraculous turn, which means that it involves a story with two dimensions and perspectives, one is normal time and space, and the other is reverse time and space, in which the result is the reason and the past is the future.

Some viewers say Tenet is the best work after Inception, but all the viewers who have seen it have the same understanding: I can't understand it the first time and need to brush it twice.

Before Nolan, both Interstellar and Inception relied on dialogues and illustrations to explain the core concepts of movies to the audience, so that the audience could learn a lot of obscure knowledge while watching movies. In Tenet, Reynolds did not give any illustrations. When a reporter asked John, the male host, "Do you fully understand the concept of time-space reversal in movies?" The man replied, "No, I didn't." . For the audience, watching this movie is equivalent to a "naked test". The narrative complexity of Plot is higher than that of Memorial.

In order to watch movies better, first expand your brain capacity and see what new concepts are involved in the movies. The following are the new concepts involved in the film.

The meaning and origin of 1 principle

Purpose has many meanings, and literal translation means purpose, creed and principle.

TENET is a back-and-forth chapter with the same meaning in both positive and negative sequences, which is not uncommon in English. There are also words like Snow White in Chinese.

The origin of Tenet: Sattor Square first appeared in the ruins of Pompeii, which was buried by a volcano in 79 AD. In Sartre Square, Tenet is in the middle position, which probably means ownership and control in Latin.

Sattor Square also appeared on the brick wall of St. Peter's Cathedral in the 8th century. As long as there is a strong culture and religion in Europe, there is a pattern of Sattor Square.

Many people think that the letters and arrangement of this slate may represent some kind of metaphor.

Nolan's film Tenet also implies that there will be concepts of time positive sequence and reverse sequence in the film.

2. Time reversal

In this group of pictures of John chatting with a female scientist, a slate hanging on the wall and full of bullet holes is shown. This is not shooting training, but it may be to train John's ability to perceive time flashback.

This also involves order and disorder. Disorder represents the irregular development of normal time and space, and order represents the mastery of time sequence, which is the origin of reversing time and space. The picture of practicing against Qiang target in the film may be the ability to practice time flashback.

Of course, there are many points in the film that are far more than these, and it needs to be brushed several times to see clearly. This also needs different people to understand, not necessarily to understand, just like a line in the film: "Feel it, don't try to understand it."

As a film critic said, "The future happens in the past, the past has ended in the future, and the present is the moment that people should really seize. This is the core of the film purpose. "

The purpose of summarizing and sorting out these details is to have a concept when watching movies, hoping to help understand the plot. If there are any shortcomings, please criticize and correct them.
