Tenet 2020 Watch Online Free in Good Quality
Butcher79
Tenet is one of Nolan's most expensive ventures to date, which is saying something considering his hugely ambitious Batman movies and his 2014 space drama Interstellar didn't come cheap.
At the beginning of September, Tenet began to be shown in Russia (in some major cities, the release began later) - and all this time the audience jokes about the inverted plot of Christopher Nolan's super-tangled film and argues whether he is a genius - or this time something went wrong. And although the action in this movie develops in a more logical way than it seems at first glance, Nolan clearly did not achieve the elegance of Inception - which is why after the film you need to watch dozens of videos and read a bunch of fan discussions to understand what the author wanted to say. PortalVirtualReality has collected the main questions about the film in one piece and tried to answer them in as much detail as possible.
Carefully!! This post is full of spoilers. they are everywhere, just everywhere! Before you start reading, there are spoilers in there. If you haven't watched Tenet yet, don't read the text below right now, but come back to it after going to the movies. So that you don't accidentally see a spoiler, we'll put the Tenet trailer below so that it takes up as much space as possible.
The plot is brief
Fantastic spy thriller in which time and space are intertwined. The protagonist, a member of the CIA special operation, is tested and becomes a member of an unusual mission. He must use technology from the future that allows objects to move backwards in time. Together with the British special agent Neil, the Protagonist learns that the Russian oligarch Sator owns this technology. The heroes will have to go to him and find out what he wants.
Sator seeks to get his hands on plutonium to cure his cancer. However, the plan he came up with will destroy all life on earth and lead to mass deaths. Neal and the Protagonist must prevent this without losing the people who have become dear to them. Endless switching between the past, present and future does not allow time to find out who is who in this story. Saving some, the heroes kill others without knowing it. The tangled story from Christopher Nolan was not without a love line.
The plot is brief. In chronological order
Let's start from the beginning. What does invert mean? Is it like time travel?
More likely no than yes. Inversion is movement along the same time axis, but in a different direction. That is, this is not a parallel dimension and not the past, in which you can return and rejuvenate - this is the bed of the same river, along which you can climb higher (with the help of inverting turnstiles) and again live everything downstream. There is another option - you can go upstream and go against it - then everything around you will move in the opposite direction: seagulls will fly with their backs, and bullets will fly into pistols.
A person who has inverted does not get younger - the aging processes in his body do not stop; if he lives the other way around for 20 years, he will not get younger, but 20 years older. At the same time, in the inverted world, all the processes around a person go in the opposite direction - carbon dioxide is inhaled and oxygen is exhaled (therefore, inverted people need masks to breathe in the past), after the explosion, objects freeze. It's called reverse in the movie entropy - as if the cold coffee became hot again, and the broken vase would stick together from pieces.
Is it scientific at all?
Without going into details, it is still worth noting that Nolan did not just create his own history, he relied on existing modern physical concepts - the Nobel Prize winner, theoretical physicist Kip Thorne helped him in this. However, you should not treat "Argument" as an accurate illustration of these ideas - it is just a work of art, in which the director tried to justify the events with science. That is why his story is so far from the usual plots about the time machine - from the point of view of physics, these are fairy tales. But inversion is a concept that can be taken as a basis.
And why do people from the future kill people from the past?
They were overtaken by an ecological disaster, and therefore they want to go back in time and try to live this life again without harm to the planet. But for this they need to erase people from the past.
But if they kill people in the past, will their future come?
They believe so. Neil in the film calls this the paradox of the murdered grandfather: if we kill our grandfather in the past, we will not be born. But if we are not born, then who will kill him? There is no answer, but people from the future are sure that the explosion of the Algorithm in the past will not kill them, but will simply clear the time axis of people.
What is the "algorithm"?
It is a weapon created by a certain female scientist, which she divided into nine parts and hid all over the world in the past so that people would not find it and could not use it. But they found it! A teenager Andrei Sator from the Siberian closed city of Stalsk-12 once dug up one of the fragments, on which he made a fortune: people from the future hired him to search for all the fragments, and paid him for it in gold. If you put all the parts together and set the mechanism in motion (for example, stopping Sator's fitness bracelet, stopping his heart), then it will invert all the entropy on Earth and everyone will die.
Protagonist - who is he?
We don't know for sure. At the beginning of the film, he is an ordinary mercenary who pretends to be a Ukrainian riot policeman, but in fact is hunting for a part of the Algorithm. Then he is an agent of Argument, who must save the Algorithm from destruction, and the world from the end of the world. In the finale, it turns out that he is the founder of Argument, who created this organization in the future and sent Neil to help himself in the past. However, we know little about his motivation and his background. By the way, the film is strongly criticized for the fact that the characters have almost no characters and personal history.
And who is Neil?
A mysterious time traveler who met the Protagonist in the future and traveled to the past to save the world with him. That is why he knows everything about the Protagonist - he already knew him in the future, where he came from. But there is an even more interesting theory: many fans believe that Neil is Kate's son who has matured during time travel. In this case, he owes the life of his mother to the Protagonist. Although it seems that he would not have lasted so many years in the past - that's how long it was necessary to walk in a mask!
The scene with the red and blue group at the end. Nothing is clear
Do not be sad, you are not alone - even after repeated viewing it is not easy to restore the chain of events.
So, here's what happened there: two teams of "Argument" had to penetrate the vault in Stalsk-12 and neutralize the "Algorithm", which was supposed to invert all living things. The red team with the Protagonist moved in normal time. Blue with the Nile - moved back in time. At the same time, they acted in the same period of time - 10 minutes; only for the reds the time on the clock increased, while for the blue it decreased. By the way, hence the name of the film - Tenet - two tens are enclosed in the word, the usual ten and the reverse net.
The Blues had to clear the area of obstacles and Sator's men. The Reds were supposed to pass through the liberated territory and pick up the Algorithm. Distinguishing where someone is is not always easy, but music, for example, helps: if you listen, you will understand that the blue team is moving to a melody played backwards.
The most interesting thing in this scene happens with Neil - if you go to watch a second time, follow him. He leaves with the blue group, but halfway through he notices that the exit from the vault where the Protagonist is located is blocked by stones due to an explosion. Then Neil again gets to the turnstile and goes to the present to warn the Protagonist of the danger. He does not have time, the exit still fills up, but he figures out how to pull the heroes out of the vault, and throws them a rope - they grab onto it and at the moment of the explosion, due to the death of Sator, he pulls them out along with the whole "Algorithm". Then Neal explains to the Protagonist what's what - and again goes back in time to open the door to the Protagonist's vault with the Algorithm, where the inverted Neil is killed. On his backpack is the same red keychain.
Tenet is only two tens or something else?
Nolan used in the film parts of the famous Latin palindrome SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS, discovered in the city of Pompeii. Sator is the surname of the main character, Arepo is the surname of Kat's lover, who provided her with a fake Goya. Tenet - "Argument". Opera - apparently, Kiev. Rotas is a company associated with Sator.
It is interesting that the gesture by which the members of the argument are identified - the crossed fingers of two hands - is also symbolic: this is the interweaving of the past and the future (Neal shows this process to Kat in this way).
But there is another explanation for the word Tenet - this is the name of the head of the CIA, George Tenet, who headed the department from 1996 to 2004, that is, during the terrorist attacks on the United States. Accordingly, people who like this theory believe that Tenet is a 11/XNUMX movie.
Helps to keep track of the time of action and colors. Red is always present (it seems that this also applies to Kat's outfits - in the scene where her inverted husband shoots her, she is in a red dress, which, as it were, indicates her belonging to the present), and blue is always past. The inverted Sator is in the blue room, the blue team is moving backwards, even in the vault on the floor in Oslo, the lines seem to indicate exactly where the inverted masked Protagonist will appear. Where the blue is! And this, by the way, is again related to physics - this is probably a reference to the "Maxwell's Demon" thought experiment, in which fast (hot, red) particles and slow (cold, blue) particles appear.
How was it filmed?
The actor Yuri Kolokolnikov, who played the role of the Russian thug Volkov, Sator's assistant, will tell us about this. Here is what he says in an interview with KinoPoisk: “The whole chase on the highway was also filmed in inversion, in real time. The engines and systems of the cars were redesigned so that the cars could drive backwards at high speed. We worked out all these trips at a separate training ground, the former runway of a military airfield. Then they filmed on a real eight-lane highway, which was completely blocked. It was probably the largest film set in my experience, seven kilometers long.” Fascinating!
