the first time i saw Source I remember leaving the cinema with a very strange feeling. An emptiness that in turn was filled and that left me like All Christopher Nolan movies they do: stunned and amazed.
His ability to tell stories as complex as that of interstellar, without leaving feelings aside, have always made me think that good old Nolan is a movie genius. No one could have done a Batman trilogy like he did. Despite Robert Pattinson’s new Batman I love it, the British director’s vision of the most famous anti-hero in the DC Universe is amazing.
But we are not here to talk about Batman, but about Teneta complex science fiction film with impossible timelines and intermingled worlds that is at many times as overwhelming as it is difficult to understand. Until now.
The explanation of Tenet in an image so we never get lost
Ok, let’s start with the basics before we get into the timelines. The concept of investment that appears in the film is key to fully understanding everything that happens in it. The inversion that Christopher Nolan recreates consists in the fact that there are objects and people that move backwards in time. These capacities provoke in some moments the call Temporary Clamp Movement, a moment in time in which both inverted and non-inverted people participate at the same timeas in the final scenes of the film.
Your head explodes a bit, doesn’t it? That’s why we need chofi linwho has designed an iconography so that everything is much clearer in a much easier way.
In the image we see the time lines of each character, and the time reflected from right to left, with the right being the future and the left being the past. The characters’ timelines start in the past and move into the future, except for Neil, Robert Pattinson’s character.
Now do you understand the conversation between the Protagonist (played by John David Washington) and Neil? Neil tells him that they have been friends for a long time and that he has great things to do, such as recruit him in the future. And it is that Neil does not travel from the past to the future but vice versa as shown in the image: from the future to the past. For almost the entire movie his character is reversed. boom.
It is possible that now you have wanted to do a new viewing of this wonder of science fiction. You’re in luck, have it in HBO Max. Enjoy now that you finally understand everything.
