Tenet 2020

Don't try to understand...

Immediately off top: set a good score for excellent special effects, sound and just because I love
Nolan. If another director had shot this, she would have been more objective in her judgments.

I will try to describe the emotions of watching 'Tenet' without spoilers, but if you are extremely
sensitive to any information about a movie you have not seen yet, I advise you to read my feedback
after going to the cinema. You hardly have the ability to invert time to forget everything you've
read, if that can ruin your first impression.

Don't you know what I mean right now? Have you heard about the concept of inversion or entropy?
Don't worry, the timekeeping of more than 2 hours will be enough to understand in detail the spatial
and temporal issues, unless, of course, you fall asleep. During the session, the words 'inversion' and
'entropy' will sound so often that you will have time to get bored. The abundance of scientific terms
and the pretentiousness with which they are presented, by the second half of the film starts to annoy
you frankly. If in 'Interstellar' it looked laconic and appropriate, 'Tenet' juggles with these concepts,
confusing the unprepared viewer.

Those who are familiar with Christopher Nolan's movies will recognize his signature directing
techniques at first sight. Scientific concepts, paradoxes, unusual story lines - that's why many
people, including me, like his work. However, despite all my love for his other paintings, the
'Tenetd' seems to me weaker than most of his works.

Such inversion techniques have already been implemented in the movie 'Memento', where the
reversible narrative, in my opinion, is more successful. In 'Tenet', on the other hand, everything
jumps from one to the other too sharply, the editing looks very torn and only emphasizes the
shortcomings in the script.
Why do the main characters have so little screen time? In almost 2.5 hours it would be worth paying
more attention to the fragments with the main characters in order to emotionally bring the audience
closer to the characters. It is possible to write it off on certain frames, concerning the duration of the
film, but the idea of inversion and non-linearity of time in the film 'Arrival' Vilnev revealed in two
hours, without leaving the viewer to the finale of the film without answering the worrying
questions. Sometimes volumetric timekeeping is appropriate and one cannot do without it, but in
'Tenet', two hours later, all we know about Pattinson's hero is his name. With the Protagonist,
performed by Washington, it's even more curious, it's hard to penetrate the character when you
know almost nothing about him. Debiki and her son and husband have paid more attention to the
plot branch, describing at least something from their lives.

It was surprising that from the first minutes of the film the cliches are inextricably linked to the plot.
Quite unambiguous allusion of the terrorist attack in (somehow Kiev) opera on the tragedy of Nord-
Ost in the zero, an odious Russian billionaire, who apparently moved his mind because in his youth
he was mining radioactive plutonium in a closed military city - the scenario has more questions than
answers.It felt like I had seen a typical Hollywood action movie where the master-have story is a
nuclear weapon, a trowel and a superpower in the face of a super agent who must do his best to
prevent evil.

To be fair, the special effects in the shadows at a high level. Scenes of chase in cars, shooting from
the air, realistic explosions, shots of bullets in the best spirit of the Matrix - it all looked cool. Plus a
good soundtrack adds atmosphere and at the right moments tells the viewer, helping to sort out the
definition of the past and future. It's also interesting to differentiate separate fragments of the film
into red and blue color palettes, which took place depending on the time. Pattinson is beautiful,
Debics is even better, and Washington is brutal and determined to understand what is happening.

But I'm sorry, I can't help but compare it to other of his movies and I can't tell you what was better
before.
