It is a sci-fi action-thriller about time travel, with two intersecting storylines, one set in the near future and one in the 1950’s. John David Washington and Robert Pattinson are playing scientists who travel from the future to the past and get caught up in a conspiracy involving a femme fatale played by Elizabeth Debicki. Washington is the main, while Pattinson takes on a more antagonistic role.
The mechanics of time travel are unique, with the leads existing simultaneously in both time periods, and having limits to how far they can go and what they can do in the past. Mark Rylance and William Fichtner will be in the movie as supporting characters in the future timeline, while Lucy Boynton is in early talks for a pivotal role in the past timeline. James McAvoy is being eyed for a very important role in the past timeline as well.
So it's an exact same universe, mirrored to ours, in which time travels in reverse
. JOHN DAVID WASHINGTON UNIVERSE 1 -----------------> Time moves forwards for him Backwards for Pattinson in the mirror. 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 10 8. --> 4. --> 9. --> 5. --> 10
Since the 1,10,2,9,3,8,4,7,5,6 has been done previously in MEMENTO? (Important to note that this may still happen due to the original production title of this beingTempus (as in Tempus Fugit, as in Tempus Fugit, Memento Mori, as in Memento, (spiritual successor)))...
With Each Even number being Washington And Each Odd number being Pattinson's POV And in each protagonists universe, one man is the other's friend,
The N in TENƎT really gets me cause i figure we'll switch sides at some point. Maybe both characters get happy endings by somehow looking into the other man's universe and successfully defeating the other man and getting the girl? Or maybe just one gets a happy ending while the other one dies.

>It is a sci-fi action-thriller about time travel I'll watch it but I expect another drivel like Inception
Sebastian Martinez
You're probably one of those assholes who claims Inception is too much drivel but then whines how Dunkirk has no dialogue or character.
Curious to see how one can make this in to a visually interesting action movie. Considering that the budget is 225 million dollars i doubt it'll be a bore. But i love when Nolan introduces a new SciFi concept to cinema and makes it work in the service of two people punching each other.

Apart from the title being a Palindrome and an Ambigram. The word Tenet means a principle or belief, especially one of the main principles of a religion or philosophy.
However, the movie won't dive deep into any sort of DaVinci Code like pursuit of codes within history and occult.
Tenet is just about an organization, and the title refers to the palindromic structure of the movie. And the Belief and philosophy shared by the organization (in relations to some belief about time travel) And their pursuit to stop a bunch of terrorist attacks. (Who are religious zealots with Tenet's of their own)
Since A month ago some extras or assistants on the set revealed that an opera hall in Estonia was decorated to look like the Moscow Opera and part of filming included releasing some kind of gas into the theater and there was the presence of SWAT teams in the shoot too. If this is true, it is a clear recreation of the 2002 Moscow Hostage crisis.
Now, I am from India and the inclusion of Indian actress Dimple Kapadia intrigued me. Digging up a bit told me the shoot in India is set to happen in South Mumbai in places like the Gateway of India, the Taj Hotel and Colaba. Anyone from Mumbai knows these locations were specifically part of the 2008 Terror attacks.
And then, you know, they are shooting it across seven countries meaning there is an assortment of these terror attacks that they're trying to film. It's not much but I think the recreation of the Moscow crisis and shoot locations in Mumbai leads me to believe this.
The movie could well be about some sort of time travel shit where the protagonist is trying to prevent or in some way affect these events positively or negatively.
Sounds great and all but I refuse to watch this movie because of the nigger character.
Not racist btw.

"Anonymous 09/14/19(Sat)18:33:13 No.120997231▶ They are bad. Some user summed up his style in another thread, he was pretty much on the money. Nolan doesn't know visual storytelling, he just uses characters to spoonfeed the audience etc. He makes big budget films for people who think they are more intelligent than they actually are. They think they are smarter because they watch complicated films by Nolan. They are not complicated, they just create the illusion of being complicated. The same people who praise Nolan are the ones whose cinematic knowledge is limited to him, Tarantino, Fincher, Spielberg and Hitchcock. >80% of film will be characters explaining the plot >characters spouting exposition so every low IQ retard in audience gets it >robot like dialogue >no emotions whatsoever >action heavy >bad choreography of action scenes >the whole film will have 4 colours: blue, gray, black and white due to his colour blindness >bombastic soundtrack that will remind the audience when to be worried >no visual storytelling whatsoever >badly edited >time gimmick >egregiously stupid This is what some other user posted, with the exception of colours i agree with this."
yeah, I agree that definitely its not a daVinci code kinda movie, I was thinking more like the tech that they use to travel tru time and some Jungian shit like Inception . Now that you told me about terrorism in the plot it havemore sense about the Mithraic origin of the rock. let me believe bro, I just want a good occult philosophycal movie .

One is in the 50's (Robert Pattinson) And one is in the year 2030 (John David Washington)
Yet they exist simultaneously in both timelines and are able communicate. One talks while the other one is experiencing time backwards. Each able to see the other one's future.

Adam Hall
No. Each man expiriences time normally, and we see their story being told normally.
But Say this is how it happens in the reality of the movie
1. then 2. then 3, 4, 5,6, 7,...and so forth
Now.
Since half the movie is told from Pattinson's POV In the 1950's
As in 1,2,3,4,5
The second half of the mission is continued by
Washington (70 years later)
6,7,8,9 and 10 (TEN as TENET)
Imagine that the story is told 1,6,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,10
Cause it's about Myrror universe.
And when Pattinson and Washington talk. Pattinson talks to the future Washington and Washington talks to the Past Pattinson And to each man, the other one is backwards
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
--------------->>> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 10, 9, 8, 7, 6
Matthew Adams
Yes, Nolan also shot a whole Car Chase Sequence in backwards.
Jayden Jackson
And not shot a car chase and played the film backwards but had the entire car chase driving in reverse gear.
What the fuck? I was memeing. I was actually correct?
Henry Carter
>I'm a highly sophisticated individual with a well endowed intelligence quotient, you can tell by how much I disdain both fun and women
Kayden Perry
Wow, i can't wait to watch protagonists go around and explain the plot to me. Of course time gimmick will be involved and they have to explain that too. These scenes will be interrupted by some action scenes. So much fun. If this is anything like Interstellar and Inception then he is fucking hack. Dunkirk at least had some attempts to not shove exposition down the throats of the audience. If he goes back to his old style then i'm finished with this lazy piece of shit hack.
Oh boy another gimmick movie with a plot twist every 5 minutes and le big cliffhanger at the end
It worked in The Prestige because it goes with the theme but Nolan sucks at sci-fi. He literally pulls pseudo-science out of his ass to justify plot twists and cheap drama Can't wait for something """"unexpected""" to happen for a character to age 50 years in a couple minutes Truly a genius director
Oliver Lopez
Well Inception doesn't have a twist. It only has a cliffhanger ending (an earned one in my regards) And Prestige has two twists and doesn't end in a cliffhanger. But that's an entirely different nonpareil movie. Which is about one-upsmanship of magicians. If you don't expect twists going into it, im surprised you can even digest the fact that there's apes in Planet of the Apes. And a character aging to 50 years is the best part of interstellar cause it's possible, not pseudo science.
So all of your complaints don't really work. But i agree, his drama is usually second place to the concepts he's trying to explore. That's not such a bad thing.

Nobody thinks that tho. We all understand it at the end. But it's interesting to sit in a theater and be confused for a good 2h with other audience members knowing that we're being tricked and in the end it will all make sense. It's like a magic show. An asshole sitting behind a screen alone wouldn't get it. That's the thing you probably just don't understand.

Based on your reply, i can confirm that you are in fact retarded. How can you be confused during a Nolan film at all? I guess when you can't even reply to the right post, i shouldn't by surprised by your lack of intellectual capacity.

nolan is pairing debicki with a black guy he's really trying to aim for an oscar with a blacked romance imagine being that desperate
No, they are not. 2049 ost was just loud sounds. One of the weaker parts of the film. His best soundtrack to this day remains The Thin Red Line. It's good that Nolan is working without him, maybe Tenet won't be an absolute garbage.

That's your theory. When the film comes out we will see whether he actually makes something that is good.

at 0:30 he goes over to the second hole but it's a slightly different shot. That is not a mere continuity coincidence, especially not i a CLOSE UP SHOT FOR THE TRAILER no less, that is definitely some temporal fuckery afoot.

** ALTHOUGH THE FOLLOWING IS JUST SPECULATION, YOU CANT UNREAD WHAT YOU READ AND HENCE STAY AWAY IF YOU DON;T WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY HAVE THE MOVIE RUINED FOR YOU **
There's an article that you can find about a technical paper(this isn't the actual paper but contains a lot of information from that paper) that deals with mirror universes. The original technical paper by Julian Barbour, with Tim Koslowski and Flavio Mercatiis, is quite a read and was released a few years ago. The article deals with the possibility of mirror universes. More accurately, the article, along with another article fronted by Sean Carroll, talks about how around the time of the big bang, there were two universes that formed, due to entropy expanding in different directions. Since the gravitational arrow of time is dependent on the direction of entropy, these two universes have opposing directions of the flow of time.
---> Universe 1
time->>>>A1 A2 A3 A4 A5
B5 B4 B3 B2 B1
Jordan Jackson
Given this, the order of the movie might be A1->A2(forward) and then B1->B2(viewed from A1 as reversed) and so forth. This weave reaches a strange place as the mid point in the movie is where the final showdown will happen between both parties and where everything will be sorted out. Like a story told in the order of 1, 11, 2, 8, 3, 7, 4, 6, 4, 5, -----> part 5 being the climax of the movie. This structure is very similar to Memento but not really the same. This presents the following possible ideas/plot devices/plot points that might be used in Tenet(2020).
The movie could involve a bullet or a person perhaps Pattinson or Debecki crossing over to the other universe causing a collapse of both if something doesn't happen by then.
The hero and villain in both universes are swapped and hence fight or face each other.
A device that allows communication or manipulation of the reverse mirror universe and it can be exploited to cause strange events in one of the universes as the other can basically see the future of the opposite universe happening in reverse.
Aiden Perry
>this movie wasn't influenced therefore all his movies weren't! also, note how i'm not even mentioning tarantino because i know i can't win the argument that tarantino isn't influenced by other director's works
Cooper Gomez
This idea is a little out there but it is set up for this: Time itself can be personified and might be conscious of the events unraveling thereby allowing it to manipulate things accordingly. I don't believe Nolan is going to go full blown Ingmar Bergman on this one cuz he never has. It's probably as close to realizing something like Act 4 of 2001: A Space Odyssey using the latest information we know of the possibilities of the universe.
The movie will present a personal motivation for the hero/s to pursue what they are doing, which is generic as heck, I know, but in this story this is probably set up such that since one universe can see the other's future, this might play into what one and cannot change about their futures or their destiny. The future loss of a loved one will become known to a person or a viewer from the opposite universe and this will lead to tension and also personal motivation in the sense of an internal goal, perhaps to stop it from happening.
This brings us to the name of the movie and it's possible implications. Only one of the universes can exist and hence that because the dominant reference point(like a totem, in Inception), so while the entire movie can only be told or experienced from one, this could also mean that only one of them can exist in the end. The palindrome aspect of it is only part of the problem and it's real hidden mystery is in the fact that it is an Ambigram. I feel like there is a real possibility of the meaning of the movie changing when one looks back on all the events, once they have passed by. Much like the ending changes everything trope or the karmic twist ending.
Pattinson could also be the hero of the other universe who is trying to stop the one from this one with Debecki being the person who is common between them or the person who is capable of transcending the mirror.
Jonathan Rodriguez
Most overrated. That's why i meant. You could say most popular too, but they are bad. Tarantino is a stealing hack and Nolan is a hack. Those influences you are talking about, especially from Tarantino have been done before. It's just modern filmmakers just ape the newest successful thing.
Brody Price
*what i meant
Aiden Morales
Since there needs to be a primary story that spans the world, the few people who are in on the secret portal or the device are the people who have to figure out a way to stop the other side from ending this one.
I hope this just isn't an elaborate inter-galactic/inter-universal version of the movie 'US' with doppelgangers. In this case the mistaken identity version of the story is probably two people waking up in the opposite universe and then trying to find a way back while discovering a conspiracy around the exploitation of this information or the device.
I might be completely wrong about the whole thing but I guess my best bet is on the utilization of mirror universes which explains the reversal of time. This movie is most certainly not about time travel, just because that's been done to death and there's no real satisfactory way to solve the grandfather paradox in which essence you have to either render any story that uses time travel, fantasy or resort to one way trips into the future or teleport past the event horizon of a black hole from a secret Tesseract that was built inside of it.
The idea that you are trying vainly to peg one of the only directors making movies of wholly original IPs that explore never-previously-filmed concepts and conceits in imaginative and oft-imitated ways as being one the most derivative is so desperate and inane as to not warrant further responses Further, if you think it’s either I) some kind of gotcha that Tarantino wears an eclectic mix of influences on his sleeve or II) even a glancing detraction from the fact - yes, fact - that he is the most influential director of a generation, then you are willfully deluding yourself for reasons that are fairly easy to parse to an outside observer

I can't wait for all the crowd shots where the background extras disappear and teleport between shots in the most obvious way, only for fanboys to claim that every director makes inconsistencies like this. I also can't wait for the aspect ratio to change every shot because Nolan's editor doesn't know how to deal with different ratios and Nolan wanted to jerk off that part of the film was filmed on imax

Why didn't he just film it forwards and then reverse it in post like filmmakers have been doing for decades?

Why does Nolan still make everyone here spergout? It's not like he is spamming out movies every year like marvel. The internet obsession over him has died down, critic acclaim isn't that high(although Dunkirk was a return to form) so he is not as overrated as before.
Don't see what the problem is. Denis Villeneuve, Rian Johnson, Abrams, Russo's, Ari Aster and Peele are far more overhyped these days.

No, he said he doesn't like symbolism and only creates certain mood and feelings. I know you probably don't get it, but what else could you expect from a dumb Nolan fan.
Aaron Baker
This only further solidifies your desperate need for sex.
Juan Bennett
How can Pattinson exist in the 1950's and in the 2010's?
Nolan and Marvel are probably reddit's favourite things in films. There is a big overlap there, when some Marvel fan watches Nolan film he feels like a true intellectual and he thinks he saw really intelligent and profound. In fact Nolan and Tarantino are his favourite directors. They are the modern masters of cinema according to uneducated masses, the masses that support Marvel.
Henry Rivera
Nolan's flicks are great when you're a teenager and then you grow up and watch more complicated or refined stuff. I can't imagine being excited for this if you're over 20.
Connor Morris
Name five (5) films more complicated than Memento, Nolan’s very first film You can’t, despite your transparent posturing. How dishonest
Elijah Russell
>Symbolism Bad Jesus christ, the absolute state of Nu/tv/
Kevin Williams
>Name five (5) films more complicated than Memento Transformers 3 Captain America: The First Avenger Terminator Salvation Dunston Checks In Paul Blart: Mall Cop
Caleb Foster
I didn't say that. He is said Tarkovsky is pseudo intellectual, i thought he meant that he overtly uses symbolism etc.
Michael Jenkins
>some people on a message board with hundreds of millions of users like Marvel >some people on a message board with hundreds of millions of users like Nolan >therefore the same people like Marvel and Nolan This is even more pathetic than I was anticipating. How many chortling Antman watching MCUcks do you think went and saw Dunkirk? It’s a completely different audience
Angel Wright
So you couldn’t even name one (1). Unsurprising. Do us both a favor and stop posting.
Jeremiah Rivera
It's the same audience of people who are under 20. That's why Nolan does everything in PG 13 because he knows his films are for kids and teenagers. Not talking about Dunkirk right now since i don't think that many kids saw it. But his meme scifi shit and Batman garbage is watched by people who watch Marvel.
Anthony Rodriguez
Primer Inherent Vice Celine and Julie Go Boating Goodbye Language Batman v Superman Also Memento isn't his first film.
Thomas Perez
Because that retarded pajeet is making things up and speculating tons about the film while working himself into a shoot.
Alexander Bennett
So people in the mirror universe age to babies that get eaten by vaginas?
Henry Thompson
The fact that those movies are more complicated is the weakness of those movies.
Lincoln Walker
Yes. All of time goes backwards. But they perceive it like we do, Mirror universe theory's a real thing, look it up.
Lucas Gonzalez
I don't know, maybe watch the movie? Maybe something happens in those 3 hours? Maybe this thread isn't the whole story?
Hudson Taylor
Stop embarrassing yourself you dumb cunt. You don't even know what Celine and Julie Go Boating is.
Angel Long
I’ll give you Primer and BvS, but Inherent Vice and Goodbye to Language are less complex, regardless of how comprehensible they are. Haven’t seen Celine and Julie Go Boating
Juan Fisher
>5 seconds in nigger appears Yeah, I'm gonna be skipping this one.
>3 hours Jesus christ. Does Nolan get some kind of sick pleasure out of torturing audiences?
Christian Parker
Wrong. Inherent Vice and every one of those Godard later films are more complex and than Memento. Memento is a simple film.
Robert Scott
>FUCK OFF YOU'RE NOT MY DAD ANYMORE
Gavin Torres
You’re not clever or worth conversing with
Brayden Brown
AS long as they don't pull any of that Endgame bullshit, when they set up their own rules of time-travel then break them, because the writers are fuckin idiots who painted themselves into a corner.
Isaiah Mitchell
time travel theories are the realm of teenage pseuds, prove me wrong.
Noah Martin
And you can't respond when you're called out for being stupid. You made a statement, were proved wrong, and are now huffing and being petty.
Samuel Thomas
"Honest" cinema is cringe as fuck anyway.
Ian Diaz
>He makes big budget films for people who think they are more intelligent than they actually are. And that itself is genuins. So much so, I'm willing to consider Nolan the pound for pound greatest director to ever live. An "intelligent" blockbuster is such an ingenius idea. The perfect movie (not film, movie).
Lincoln Bailey
genius* whoopsies
Brandon Martin
Noones making you go and watch it, faggot People with friends usually go to the cinema.
He's probably gonna turn something bad into something decent, like he did with Paprika.
Camden Jenkins
But his films are not intelligent. They just pretend to be.
Zachary Moore
Yea, my unsightly autist interlocutor, you totally “proved me wrong” by saying Paul Blart was a more complex film than Memento. Epic pwnage, indeed There’s a reason why no one wants to be around you in real life. Goodbye
Logan Phillips
Damn, can't wait to see AOBOV
Grayson Robinson
If that were the case you’d be able to relate to them far more than you apparently do
Hunter Roberts
Nah nigga, the prestige is a masterpiece.
Lincoln Cook
>“proved me wrong” by saying Paul Blart was a more complex film than Memento Paul Blart: Mall Cop is objectively a more complex film than Memento, yes.
Mason Morris
>So it's an exact same universe, mirrored to ours, in which time travels in reverse So, birth ocurrs when people rise from the grave and they slowly de age and die by goin into the womb? Just sounds messed up
Asher Walker
Everything in his films is explained i don't really understand how can you consider that clever. The twist is predictable, you can get that after the first hour. The machine that he creates, i don't remember exactly, but wasn't it heavily implied that it actually works? I have seen it a long time ago, but that would be a fucking bullshit.
Jacob Wood
No, it's literally as if you played a video backwards. Thats how we would perceive our mirror universe. Everything else would be the same, only time travels in opposite direction. You guy's are fucking simpleton motherfuckers.
Parker Anderson
But what about the whole other half of the story with Twin brother, the two diaries, Teslam and the Teleported man escalation dynamic? I can tell you're talking out of your ass.
Ryder James
there have been many rules for writing detective fiction (I'd say most of the prestige feels like a detective story) and one of the most repeated rules basically forbids having a hidden twin show up at the end, so for that reason I will always consider Nolan a hack..
>Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have been duly prepared for them.
>And (to give my Credo an even score of items) I herewith list a few of the devices which no self-respecting detective story writer will now avail himself of. They have been employed too often, and are familiar to all true lovers of literary crime. To use them is a confession of the author's ineptitude and lack of originality. (a) Determining the identity of the culprit by comparing the butt of a cigarette left at the scene of the crime with the brand smoked by a suspect. (b) The bogus spiritualistic se'ance to frighten the culprit into giving himself away. (c) Forged fingerprints. (d) The dummy-figure alibi. (e) The dog that does not bark and thereby reveals the fact that the intruder is familiar. (f)The final pinning of the crime on a twin, or a relative who looks exactly like the suspected, but innocent, person.
Evan Robinson
But should you rewatch it, you'd notice how they hit you over the head with allusions of a twin.
The thing that makes the movie awesome is that it uses this fucked up trope you seem to be against, and turns it on it's head against the audience. Liek a magic trick. The point is we're as blind to it as the main antagonist, cause we're to obsessed with something else. It's called misdirection. And for the subject matter, that it's tackling (Twins are common in magic) It's appropriate.
Lincoln Harris
I just said i saw it a long time ago. It's one of three Nolan's films that i like. I just remember something about working teleportation.
Joshua Cox
it's been a while since I saw the film but I feel like that at one point a character basically rules out there being a twin and then whaddya know it was a twin all along
Not good practice
Ryder Rogers
It's amazing on rewatch. Just remember. Bale has a secret twin. And watch it with that in mind. And Tesla accidentaly makes a cloning machine that replicates you down to the memory.
Ryan King
DUDE WE MADE EVERYTHING COMPLICATED ON PURPOSE LMAO
Anthony Wood
Jesus i got two of the same type of shithead here. You both need to rewatch it, it's seriously a forgoten masterpiece. It's Dark Knight level. Right in that sweet spot between Batman Begins, Dark Knight where Nolan was in his prime. He was a movie god.
Dylan Rivera
Could never get through inception without falling asleep
I know that he has a secret twin that makes sense based on how they treat the woman. But Dark Knight is mediocre.
Jaxson Stewart
>can't refute an argument and then gets mad Yep, sounds like a Nolanfag
Jaxon Foster
>AOBOV Is this the new ABATAP?
Tyler Allen
It's not AOBOV you fucknut it clearly says ДOBOД
Д is D B is V Б is B A is A (Ayn Rand)
Aaron Powell
Dunkirk is actually a good film, unlike Inception.
Christian Parker
Correction: both films are shit
Henry Cook
Yeah but inception is more like Pop art, it captured the zeitgheist and the culture in a way too big to ignore. That's the brilliance of Inception. And personally, i don't give a fuck about most of the characters in Dunkirk, i get it it's a purer cinema expirience thing, but Tom Hardy's the only one i give any fucks about. While in Inception I got Hardy, and DiCaprio, and Joseph Gordon Levit.
Kevin Price
Inception is more cathardic more iconic has better music and more imagination in 10 min than any other movie. However Dunkirk is more important for the human heart.
Jeremiah Clark
inception is shit because once you get past the premise it devolves into a never ending gunfight/car chase film
Juan Clark
Inception is 2 hours of exposition dumps occasionally interrupted by explosions and plot holes. Dunkirk is a visual mess with no story or heart. It feels like a very stupid robot made it.
Luis Sanchez
Based and correct but Dunkirk was alright, at least something that wasn't so exposition heavy from him.
Andrew Martin
It's not tho.
Zachary Cox
>NIGGER movie >NIGGER main character >NIGGER involved in the plot
NO!
Adam Johnson
moon runes, nolan
way to fucking kill a boner
it was interesting until i saw the preview
Hudson Perez
It’s hilarious bc women and the Low IQ loathe Nolan for making movies that explore concepts and ideas rather than sappy interpersonal drama. See:
Angel Rogers
He doesn't really explore concepts in any way tho and his films are full of sappy interpersonal drama and he usually falls flat on his face becuase of his terrible dialogue and character building.
Adam Davis
>everyone who points out how shit nolan is at making films is a woman or stupid
so nu-Yea Forums will pretend this movie doesn't suck because it's got a black lead in it right?
Charles Gomez
ah well nolan, it was a good run but even he's succumb to SJW demands. not sure why you'd cast a nigger as your lead in a time travel movie when the only thing blacks are interested in is shooting people but w/e
Landon Roberts
Yea Forums pretended to hate Dunkirk which was one of the best films of the decade but will pretend to love this piece of shit because the main character is a piccaninny
Jonathan Cook
reminder NOT to give your dollars to movies with non-white leads. wait until the pirate rips come out
Aaron Hill
I can't tell which one of you reverse psychology geniuses is actually racist xD
Owen Sanchez
Falls flat on his face to enormous financial and critical success, the adoration of millions, some of the most influential films of the last two decades, free reign to make $250M films based on wholly original IPs he dreams up - something NOBODY else but Cameron can do - and getting adulatory recognition from not only his peers but also the Queen herself I’m sure he’s real broken up that some dyed-in-the-wool contrarian autist on reddit and r/tv/ keeps baselessly repeating that he sucks while watching on his films anyway, massive cultural events that they are
Chase Wright
>POPULAR = GOOD >MARVEL = GREAT >metacritic 74 = enormous critical success Stop you fucking retarded nigger. Bad films get good reviews and are financially successful often. The film is not above criticism. It's beloved by so many because of how accessible it is. Everything is fucking explained. Characters stand around and explain the plot for the majority of running time. This hack can't direct himself out of a paper bag.
Michael Lee
Name your top 10 favorite films of all time. I dare you, you fucking dog.
Lincoln Morgan
>based on wholly original IPs he dreams up Memento - actually an original concept. Also low budget The Prestige - based on a book he didn't write BATMAN - oh yeah, I remember hearing how Nolan actually invented fucking Batman back in the 30s... Inception - a shitty rip off of Paprika Interstellar - a shitty rip off of 2001 Dunkirk - a real life event from a war with no story I don't want to call you an idiot but you're clearly an idiot
Parker Cooper
So what's Tenet a ripoff from then?
Hunter Brown
I don't have such a list but i can give you my top of the decade, if you want.
Jordan Powell
yes. i feel like laughing.
Eli Parker
The Turin Horse The Tree of Life Twin Peaks: The Return Leviathan La Grande Bellezza Goltzius and the Pelican Company Paddington 2 Hard to be a God The Master Inherent Vice The House That Jack Built Jagten Raid 2 Stray Dogs Embrace of the Serpent Manchester by the Sea Mysteries of Lisbon Good Time From What Is Before
Michael Stewart
How the fuck would I know when it's not out yet? That's like me claiming my short story isn't derivative cause no one but me has read it yet so no one can say otherwise
Cooper Taylor
Jesus........
Tree of life >pretentious 3 hour mediocre drama, shit CGI Twin Peaks >psycho school shooter fodder La Grande Bellezza >Literally meh, i mean i get it, but fuck off fag Paddington 2 >Okay >Master Ok, good one Inherent Vice >terrible dialogue, and i know i read the book 3 times. You forfeit the right to complain how Nolan makes shit complicated. >Raid 2 Tiresome, Good Time >Okay The House that Jack Built >Troll garbage Manchester by the Sea >Literally just the writter trying to be normal for the whole movie. And nothing special >Embrace of the Serpent Niggers The rest is probably unbearable shit. Go fuck your philosophical Human condition self.
Jesus you're a pretentious piece of Euro shit aren't you. Fucking snob. Go fuck your mother. I bet you're a sexual pervert and or skinny and pale.
Jonathan Carter
>pretentious Brainlet detected. I bet you didn't even get it. >You forfeit the right to complain how Nolan makes shit complicated. He makes it faux complicated. Inherent Vice isn't really about the story.
You sound like a low IQ retarded zoomer kike faggot nigger. No wonder you defend Nolan. Dumb cunt.
Robert Peterson
Go read Gravity's Rainbow you homunculus neanderthal. And suck my donkey dick.
Gabriel Carter
I have read it, you dumb faggot. Just kys you waste of oxygen.
Connor Sullivan
Of course you have, but that's bait for pretentious pigfucks like you, the real deal is Mason Dixon and Lot 49
Elijah Green
surface detail usage, Paprika and inception while similar in plot ie going into a dream they are vastly far different stories. Plus no waifu in inception.
Jayden Morales
Mason Dixon is my favourite from him, i haven't read Lot 49 yet. Also read doesn't mean like you fucking retard.
Hearing that there's time travel is kind of a turn off.
William Green
Muh SATOR
Ayden Mitchell
it's time travel in the sense it was utilized in inception, interstellar and memento.
Where it's not literally about time travel, just a part of the way time works is used by the characters.
Kevin Morris
Memento - original concept The Prestige - Absolutely nothing like the book (which no one read), for all intents and purpose an Insomnia - original concept Inception - original concept, fuck your Chinese drawings. Do you also bitch and moan about the Matrix and Morrison? Cry more Interstellar - original concept and completely apart from 2001 to the point that you must be trolling to say otherwise Dunkirk - historical drama he wrote himself Tenet - original concept he wrote himself Literally the only IP he’s worked with is Batman, and even there he pushed the boundaries and challenged preconceptions about what films about the character could be and was nominated for eight Academy Awards You are such a small, sad little man. It’s a bit depressing
Noah Morales
Insomnia is actually a remake
Ethan Hernandez
>Insomnia >original
Ayden Morales
Will there be a BMWF relationship?
Bentley Sullivan
Apologies, you’re correct. But it was not an IP that held any cachet in the states or that could be used as a crutch. It’s similar to The Departed and Internal Affairs - a loose adaptation of an interesting premise that was entirely novel to the intended audience
Gavin Morales
Jesus, Im surprised you can even type with Nolan's dick that far down your throat
Ayden Nguyen
Bump!
Come on anons, you c-can do it! D-don't let the thread die now!
If Every Even number is Pattinson And Every odd number is Washington And the two interact and one sees the other one's future, doesn't that make the movie predictable kinda tho? Doesn't that kinda make the movie predictable
Grayson Turner
Not really since the interactivity between say 1 and 6 2 and 7 9 and 4 5 and 10
Keeps changing things. It's not locked in. Since it breaks Time symmetry, if you go forwards in time and then reverse time, events happen differently. So in a way... It could be really exciting.
Jack Collins
1 happens in reverse time to 6 2 happens in reverse time to 7
So not really. They are two parallel stories. With interacting characters. But Nolan will somehow take it up a notch.
