One of the most confusing movies I have ever seen multiple times and still clueless. Your recap helped clear up a few things, but still not crystal clear on how everything works. Great recap nonetheless!
I've helped many people with explanations 😂 happy to try to help you too. What are you clueless about? Ask any questions you like. But what I can tell you is that in the here and now, technology from 200 years into the future, exists.
@@714SNFBecause unlike the protagonist and Ives he was moving backwards through the operation while they were moving forwards so he had actually been shot and killed during the operation but because he went into the operation the opposite way as the other two he was brought back to life and he was un-shot before he opened the door for them and left. But regardless if he went into it backwards, he was still killed during the operation so he has to still fulfill that when he returns to forward moving time. At this point Neil’s been weaving through time and known the protagonist for a long long time, while for the protagonist they had just met recently and he only started doing it recently.
The character of Neil must have done hundreds of missions and put thousands of hours of thinking into this whole tapestry to know how he weaves into it. Without doubt the smartest character.
@@marcus2fashionhe isn’t. Are you Nolan stans deaf? Neil straight up says that he is from the past and that the Protagonist is the one who sacrifices his actual future by Inverting and establishing Tenet. Stop being fake deep about Nolan

It took me 3 runs to really enjoy the film. Not that I didn't enjoy it before, but with every run, another layer of the beautiful onion that is Tenet, revealed itself.
I feel like I understand more about this movie than from any other recap. It gives a clear timeline for how certain events happened and the major plot points of the movie.
I watched Tenet in cinema on release day and I left it being mad, thinking the movie was trash, because I was so confused and clueless about the plot and especially the timeline when did things happen or exactly who at which point of time did something. Months and years passed, I read many positive reviews and opinions that this movie has to be watched a couple of times. Purposely haven't been watching any of the explanation videos, because I wanted to see for myself. Gave it a go last week, and was pretty much on track with everything happening, because I already knew the concept. It took me nearly 4 hours to watch it again as I was constantly googling things or rewinding to read most of the significant dialogues twice. This let me understand how complicated and in depth this movie really is. I proceeded to watch as many explanation videos as I could find to really grasp it all and watch it right for the third time, but I must say that THIS last video that I watched, explains it the best.
Love your work. This is brilliant. Thanks for your time and efforts on a entertaining and informative video. I would definitely watch more on this movie if you make it. Cheers.
I'm glad you're doing recaps one take I watch them all the time and they seem to be getting a lot of views on other channels and I know how good you are at relaying details of a show or movie to people glad to see you're doing them man
I love his recaps, period. Compared to other pages, the reviews are explained in a way that's understandable and you don't feel stupid if don't necessarily 'get it.' There's a bunch of snobbery out n RUclips land.
I can totally understand the part about notes and spreadsheets. I watched the film only once, but I did go back and forth all the time, watched most of the dialogues at least twice and wrote lots of notes along the way. This is one of those films that absolutely would not have worked for me in a theatre. I would have walked out understanding only 1% of it.
I got about out 70 percent out of it and was still confused but very satisfied. Awesome film, Interstellar still is my all time film experience. Wish I saw the dark Knight there..fuck I did Batman begins though
Too bad i haven't stumbled across your video earlier! You've really well explained all the things that i couldn't wrap my head around. Would really love to see a follow up video!
Even with this recap and watching the movie 3x, I'm still lost at certain parts. That's how Ik this movie is pure gold... It will withstand the test of time
I watched Tenet twice and got most of it the second time. (Almost like I was time traveling relative to the movie...) This is a good, and even more impressive, a clear summary of the plot.
Thanks for this, I kinda understood it but you helped me understand the true genius of the writing and making of this piece. Love to hear more of what you've deducted.
Wow, good job man well done! Loved your explanations and theories and I found out some news things about Neil! Loved watching Tenet, seen it like 3 times now I think
7:45 barely moves the brake pedal, yet the wheels lock out entirely in the next shot. now i dont know is ABS kicks in when driving in reverse, but either way, thats just a tad bit too much.
Just thought about something. Let's just say we keep inverting even beyond the end of the movie. The protagonist is given the completed algorithm by Neil and ives. Neil then somehow reverses the truck and lowers P and Iveys into the center as the explosion is reversing. The algorithm is now back in sators possession, and They then run into a version of Neil who got there in time to open the door for them to run out of. Unfortunately he gets shot in the process. But there's still other neils in existence. I think the one at the opera dealing with present protagonist. But the Neil who lowered them in, is the one who runs to open the lock.... Wait. I'm confusing myself...brb😂😂😂
Thank you so much for this wonderful and insightful analysis. I am not intelligent (I lack logical thinking) enough to understand the movie, but your video helped a great deal !
Great work. Seriously our consciousness is not conditioned to understand events in backwards. I watched the movie thrice. But couldn't understand it. You did a great job. If you can, please make a more detailed video. Thanx again.
You are right. I watched a lot of recaps and understood the concept of inversion. What I didn't get though is how it actually worked. How exactly does an object or a human being stream backwards in time.
11:40 how can protoganist understand what sator says ?? Protoganist is inverted but sator is normal ...so what sator says must be heard as inverted language to protoganist right??...
@OneTake Thank you soooooo much for this. I love Tenet. I have watched it at least 50 times or more. And you pointed out things I never connected. Thank you and a big thumbs up to you sir!
Thanks for this! One of the VERY few whose explanation is easy to follow. Would be interested in you doing more on this movie, i.e. time movement. Sometimes I still have problems grasping it. Hopefully, there's enough interest for you to do. Thanks again and take care!
Thanks Landa! I’ve got a couple other vids I’m working on now but I’ll keep an eye on this vid and the comments to see where on the list a TENET follow-up goes!
Hi! I have a question, is Kat in the blue room inverted (the scene from 9:00)? Why in this scene Sator is not wearing mask though inverted, and Kat is wearing mask? If she were not inverted, how come she appeared in the blue room already shot, from the Sator's point of view? Would be great to clear these things out. Thanks in adance!
This is the best youtube recap. Still do not understand why the elaborate red/blue battle scene was necessary. It comes across as something done to create a BIG DRAMATIC SCENE. We didn't need dozens of nameless soldiers running around with bombs and doing stuff that seems imposed on the plot rather than inherent to the plot.. The rest of the film is pretty, umm, straightforward. Just requires close attention to how people are behaving.
19:47 but how did he get in the tunnel? The trip wire collapsed the exit/entrance!! I think that's the only thing not making sense to me, if they showed that i wouldn't be confused about the ending
6:23 I didn't understand the time capsules are on going. I thought Sator just got plans and money and started his journey. I didn't understand its ongoing like a learning loop. Over sator's lifetime many time capsules, not one.
Still a few massive plot holes in this movie but i guess you’re meant to feel not think. 1. How can the future send messages by reversing entropy of gold if Sator interact with him. Eg. Sator buries capsule, future organisation inverts gold and selves, place gold in open capsule watches it being lowered back into ground and reburied. Sator digs up capsule he buried even though it had to be reburied and picking up the gold that’s inverted but never placing it back in the capsule so it can complete it’s loop. 2. The silver Saab crashes in reverse despite not being inverted, only TP was inverted yet the crashed Saab leaps backwards onto the road and begins driving again from the forward perspective. It’s impossible to invert and car and have it drive because a combustion engine cannot work without forward entropy. 3. Unless they had a cleanup crew to remove and disinvert corpses.The people who built stalsk-12 would see skeletons compose from dust and then rot in reverse forming dead bodies over years until they get up alive and run backwards to a turnstile. 4. Dead inverted bodies will not decompose at a normal rate. Cells will autolysis but bacteria on and around us when we invert will instantly die because they cannot respire if the world is inverted relative to them.
I used to be annoyed that Neil dies but knowing that had to have in order for the PT to survive and recruit him lead in to the life he has(d). What a way to accept your bittersweet death.
I have seen the movie several times, but i haven't got the timeline. Now after watching this movie i still don't have a clue. But it's very interesting movie
So basically what I can gather from the movie is that from the beginning we already knew that the protagonist had won. Because the storyline in the beginning is from the past meaning their future selves who came back had already won the battle. You might be like then why did Neil have to die in the end, well he is his future self who came back to the past to make sure that everything happened exactly as it goes. That’s why we see that exact keychain he had from the beginning of the movie in the Opera. He came back from the future into the past to make sure they stopped the explosion and that the protagonist had to fake a suicide pill and everything had to be how it’s already happened.
In the present, the team is surrounded by a yellow aura when they're inverted without masks. The windmill that TP enters after taking the pill has a distinctive yellow band, making it the only one with this marking. Could this indicate that the windmill is 'inversion stable'? Also didn't Max have the same pendant on his backpack?
This just explained the basics that you can get from the film already, I needed something that went deeper and explained specific scenes and how they linked up after the film ended
This is a copy of a comment I made on another video: There is a serious example of the "grandfather paradox" here -Kat tells the story about the woman jumping from the boat, later we learn that the woman is Kat after she killed Sator -that means that Sator is already dead at the beginning of the movie which means that the rest of the story can't happen. The movie is basically over before the Protagonist meets Kat because Kat kills Sator before that -then comes the problem -if the rest of the story doesn't happen, how is it possible that Kat goes back in time and kills Sator?
Maybe the same way Neil had died in the past but was still alive to speak to the protagonist at the end of the movie? The sator that dies just hadn't gotten to that part of his future in the past yet. Plus Sator planned to die there to notify the future that the device was in place (they would check their data base and see he had died where he said he would so that they would know the device was assembled and in place). So if they hadn't got the device in time the future would have won and because they did get it the future lost. Sator was going to die there no matter what because that is what he himself planned, to go back to his happiest time and die. In order to go back he must of lived past it. Which again means he dies in the future in his past while Kat and his son will meet sator again the next day because his past self would not know his future self is going to die. Basically his oast self and future self are there at the same time. Just like when the protagonist fought himself. If the protagonist killed himself there. He would still be alive to go back and get killed by himself again. Its an infinite loop.
Great understandable explanation. One question I have with the movie is if objects are streaming back in time inverted, then shouldn't they disappear as they travel to our present time, then continue into the past? Technically, one would have to take an inverted object and go through the inverter machine to put in in positive entropy to keep it from continuing to move back in time.
Thank You So Much !! Very Interested In Future Videos. I have A question Tho ? Isnt Neil also The Little Boy On the Boat? Not sure If i Missed You Sayin That Or not
Thank you Lee!! The idea that Neil is the little boy on the boat (ie Cat’s son) is a theory that was floating around but it isn’t actually confirmed by the movie and TBH, I don’t agree with the theory. For it to work, the kid would’ve had to have inverted himself at age 15 and essentially lived in backwards time for 15 years so he would be the 30-year-old Neil that we met. But either way, in general for the recaps I try to only include what is 100% confirmed in the movie and if I talk about theories, I do that in separate videos. Thanks for checking out the vid and for the kind words!
Awesome recap, think I finally get it. But - why did the inverted Kat (who kills Sater) and the inverted protagonist from the future (who kills Pria) not need oxygen masks?
They inverted themselves, travelled backwards in time before the day Sator was on the yacht, and reinverted themselves using the turnstile in Trondheim.

Maybe the same way Neil had died in the past but was still alive to speak to the protagonist at the end of the movie? The sator that dies just hadn't gotten to that part of his future in the past yet. Plus Sator planned to die there to notify the future that the device was in place (they would check their data base and see he had died where he said he would so that they would know the device was assembled and in place). So if they hadn't got the device in time the future would have won and because they did get it the future lost. Sator was going to die there no matter what because that is what he himself planned, to go back to his happiest time and die. In order to go back he must of lived past it. Which again means he dies in the future in his past while Kat and his son will meet sator again the next day because his past self would not know his future self is going to die. Basically his oast self and future self are there at the same time. Just like when the protagonist fought himself. If the protagonist killed himself there. He would still be alive to go back and get killed by himself again. Its an infinite loop.
Wow!!! Epic.
Great understandable explanation. One question I have with the movie is if objects are streaming back in time inverted, then shouldn't they disappear as they travel to our present time, then continue into the past?
Technically, one would have to take an inverted object and go through the inverter machine to put in in positive entropy to keep it from continuing to move back in time.
Thank You So Much !! Very Interested In Future Videos. I have A question Tho ? Isnt Neil also The Little Boy On the Boat? Not sure If i Missed You Sayin That Or not
Thank you Lee!!
The idea that Neil is the little boy on the boat (ie Cat’s son) is a theory that was floating around but it isn’t actually confirmed by the movie and TBH, I don’t agree with the theory. For it to work, the kid would’ve had to have inverted himself at age 15 and essentially lived in backwards time for 15 years so he would be the 30-year-old Neil that we met. But either way, in general for the recaps I try to only include what is 100% confirmed in the movie and if I talk about theories, I do that in separate videos.
Thanks for checking out the vid and for the kind words!
I watched this because it was shot in Estonia. :)
Please make a reversed version of this video!
TENET … Masterpiece ❤
Well done! 👍👍
Loved this film!
Still don't understand how the turnstile wrks
Awesome recap, think I finally get it. But - why did the inverted Kat (who kills Sater) and the inverted protagonist from the future (who kills Pria) not need oxygen masks?
They inverted themselves, travelled backwards in time before the day Sator was on the yacht, and reinverted themselves using the turnstile in Trondheim.
TENET is one of those movies you gotta go into with no expectations and let it happen to you.
I’ve seen this movie at least 30x lo
I wish the film explored more the benefits Sator had to instantly communicate with the future. Like Primer did.
Primer is a hidden Gem
Very well explained, thanks! 🥳
