I didn’t find TENET confusing at all. I feel like it makes perfect sense if you actually pay attention.
(Spoilers, obviously)
Nothing confusing about TENET at all, huh? In the very first scenes a guy gets reverse shot by a bullet embedded in the side of the stairs of an opera, and the bullet is "sucked" into the muzzle of a gun, and the ugly hole in the stairs goes away.
In our forward moving time: what is the origin of that hole? When did it appear? Has it been there since the opera was built? Did the people building these stairs do that with a big ugly hole in it, possibly with an embedded bullet? If not, where and when did it come from?
The thing is, the whole premise of forward+backwards moving things sharing the same reality falls apart if you stop to think about it for a minute.
It wasn't confusing but the logic of its mechanics weren't consistent. I think some people thought there was logic to follow, hence the confusion.
I could follow just fine. I just found it a not very good movie. It was convoluted for the sake of being convoluted.
good guy save pretty girl good movie
I said that after watching it.
The sci-fi element really didn't add anything to the story it could have just been a fun blockbuster action flick and it would have worked fine.
But then it would be any other film, not a Christopher Nolan one ;)
The movie was Christopher Nolan saying "Look how hard I can Christopher Nolan this movie. No one has ever Christopher Nolaned so hard." At least for me.
💯
Conceptually, sure. But the last big setpiece made no sense from a visual perspective. I feel like you would need to show an overhead view of the map simultaneously, to actually keep track of what was happening.
Yeah that scene where he's needlessly fighting himself made complete sense. If you see yourself coming up to you with an intent to fight a battle you've already fought, confront yourself nevertheless as it's way easier than just showing your identity.
BWAAAAHM
I have always found it weird whenever people say they don't get TENET, Inception or Interstellar on their first watch. I thought the plot were simple enough to understand.
Right? They were pretty easy to follow. So easy that I've noticed about a dozen plotholes in them. Maybe these plotholes were confusing people, because they thought there would be a good explanation to them, that they are not getting. Nope, there aren't. They are just full of plotholes.
Neither did I. It' not that good but not confusing
