If I remember correctly, Nolan's excuse for crashing a real plane into a building was that it would actually be cheaper than cgi, which is _crazy_ to think about.
@Om Patel I don’t think it’s too far fetched. Look it up. The reason that critics disapprove so much of overabundances of CGI is because it’s so cheap and doesn’t look as real as practical effects, which look better cause they cost more
@Om Patel They just got lucky. Apparently when they were out scouting locations for the movie they just happened upon a place that stored old planes that they could buy for cheap
I do VFX, crashing a plane into a building can be done by one person and it's not even insanely hard, just need a powerful PC for the houdini sims and a subscription to a renderfarm. That works to a point, it won't look perfect but it would look good enough. This is how good the plane crash would look all the way up to a feature film unless you were specifically asking for perfect physics/realism. At that point the cg artists would need a disgusting amount of time to perfect it and a ton of reference material. The reference collection would be so substantial I can see why it might be cheaper to just crash a plane into a building.
Supporting characters in Nolan movies often like to joke around. Lucius, Eames and Arthur have plenty of funny moments. And generally characters played by Michael Caine like to crack some jokes. Well and Joker obviously was pretty lively and good-humored. Nolan main characters are usually pretty serious and stiff. With an exception of few Bruce Wayne and Protagonist moments of course.
Hahaha inferring Nolan’s overly-human character writing as ‘suspicious’ is actually brilliant & hilarious. Non-emotion blonde protagonists are his baseline for humanity, everything else is anomaly.
Nolan's films have humor in them and funny characters. The difference is that he doesn't make outright comedic characters who are just there to crack jokes and nothing else, nor his humor is meant to be blunt and "hihi, haha".
I was so disappointed at the reception this film got. I watched it twice in theaters and absolutely loved it. The whole vibe of _TENET_ is something you'd never get from any other director besides Nolan. What a great movie.
Someone commented on another video about Tenet that the directors whole aim was "Aim so high that when you fail you still fail above everyone else's success". The film aimed to tell a complicated story with a completely blank MC, which it failed at but still did well enough to have people love it.
Because its confusing. Most people dont watch movies as a mental exercise but as a past time. If you make a whole entire movie based on the premise of "trust youll get it later", naturally a lot of people will go "no. I wont get it later. I missed four details in the first hour of the movie, nothing makes sense".
I get pretty frustrated when people say the characters were emotionless. The scene where Kat and the protagonist first meet is very emotional and was even more so emotional the second time I watched after you see Kat's struggles and her eventual freedom from Sator. Not to mention the symbolism of her being the one who jumped off the ship at the end and that she was only jealous of her own coming freedom.
I wouldn't say the acting was unemotional, it was just subtle. People are more used to superheroes and spies wearing their feelings on their sleeves, so the more reserved acting in tenet seems flat or unemotional when it's just the characters going by the tenet philosophy of trusting nobody
I think Kat probably carried most of the overt emotion until the first and last parts between Neil and TP. A lot of the movie was indeed mainly “going through a to do list” than feeling.TP’s scenes feels more like sass and calculating than emotion
CinemaWins has done a brilliant job of coming into his own. He's largely separated from the cinemaSins style of just ticking off random things and become a movie critic only focusing on the good and going into detail on it. It works much better.
A movie critic who only focuses on the good is a terrible movie critic. I love CinemaWins, his video made me appreciate the good things in movies even more, but he's far from being a good movie critic.

Dr. Brand in Interstellar: "Time is relative... it can stretch, it can squeeze... but it can't run backwards." Christopher Nolan writing TeneT: *Interesting.*
Interstellar had genuine theoretical physics and astrophysics. Tenet was, I hazard, more speculative. Nolan knew it was flawed from the get-go, iirc. He still worked with a genius script-checker to review and refine the premise. Figure it's as good as we're ever likely to get in a time reversal story.
Also though, Interstellar reveals that Future Dad is the Past Ghost just trying to get a message through time to his kid. Does this mean Dr. Brand's belief was proven wrong, or did this trans-temporal effect somehow occur without time running backward?
@@alm2187 In that scene it was gravity communicating with the past, meaning that assuming time is constant (the 4th dimension) gravity can cross the dimensions
I feel like this is the only time travel film in where the characters actually TIME TRAVEL in other movies that take them to the past or future instantly. Here you actually have to stay inverted for it to time travel.
I told my girl in the theatres that I noticed the car mirror was already damaged when they started the car heist, you know somethings going wrong before it even happens
The thing I would have LOVED to see if they had found that car at like a scrap yard already damaged or something because remember they were looking for a car 'that's fast but doesn't look fast' and who expects a beat up car to go fast right? Or even if they got a normal car and found parts that were already damaged to swap out so that it looks like it's not fast, and then they figure out the reason those pieces got damaged was because it was rammed by the inverted car! :D
13:18 I'm actually surprised that there wasn't a win for the fact that The Protagonist struggles to open his door. Neil asks him if he needs help. At which point the Protagonist says "Actually... yeah." Then, after a few quick cuts Neil gets the door open. This is likely because The Protagonist is at the blue door and his being at that door means that his password likely needed to be input backward. The details stack and stack.

idk, i think that critic community wouldn't get behind a movie whose appeal is so gimmicky and based on a near incomprehensible idea. i think that the appeal to the movie explainer culture will overshadow the genuinely good cinema elements
Kenneth Branagh really did a good job in this, his accent seemed so natural. Usually when a person putting on an accent raises their voice to a shout or lowers to a whisper the accent wobbles but he nailed it everytime and kept the emotion in it too. That said, everyones performances were solid.
LazyLiam he’s pretty good with accents. In Jack Ryan, he was Russian and it sounded so genuine, I struggled to understand what other film he was in. Then I finally remembered he was in Harry Potter
Sator's "If I can't have you, no one else can" isn't just him being chauvinistic, but also a hint at his motivation behind destroying reality since he can't have a future as he's dying.
in the future the sun will expand and burn Earth, people from the future simply want to reverse time to double the life-span of humanity the main character have basically ruined everything, the humanity will end, locked in bunkers underground while the Sun melts the surface and bakes everyone underground
misogynist & chauvinistic, surely. Terrorists & gendered violence go together hand-in-hand. Chauvinism seems to be putting it a bit too lightly. Sexualized violence (the belt) (& murdering her perspective lovers) indicates more than just ‘excessive support for his own cause, or gender.’ Violent misogyny is equally a part of his character and applying this as a ‘hint’ to his approach to the whole world makes me uncomfortable somewhat. Though men do mass murder suicides on the regular over losing control of women, it was a weird ‘I’m taking the whole world out and happen to also have that common domestic violence homicide motivation/loss of control as well.’ It’s normally very specifically directed in like every other case across our globe... so it’s an odd pairing here in the way it’s laid out as character motivation. But I guess it’s hard to get your bad guy to taking out his entire past, future, genetic line & human existence & all that so w/e.
@@snowsnow4231 Do you now how much time has to pass for that to happen? And even if humanity manages to survive that long, they would probably be changed so much because of evolution that they are an entirely different species.
This video explained to me an error made in the movie: in the scene where they're walking in the airport, the sign above misspells the Norwegian "utgang" (exit, or in context gate) as "utång" for some reason. And I'm pretty sure the reason is, the symbolism CinemaWins points out is Exactly Right, and intentional; Nolan wanted that shot to be in the movie, but (unless they're in an area of it that I haven't ever been in) Gardermoen airport doesn't actually have any hallways that have moving walkways going both ways! They're either going toward the gates in the gates hall, or they're going toward the baggage hall in the arrival hallways. So, Nolan needed this scene but unlike the Opera House and Aker Pier, couldn't shoot it *in* Gardermoen because there's no hallways like that, he had to construct a set that *looked* like Gardermoen. And then the set designer didn't know Norwegian and misspelled the word.
when they do a countdown on the heist scene when they say "1" its exactly 1 hour 15 minutes after the movie has started and 1 hour and 15 minutes till the end
Honestly the score is incredible. And I got to see it in theaters. The beat literally shook my chest. It was an amazing experience and I’m a bit sad a lot of people missed it due to the pandemic
It's been 3 years since iv been asking him to do Interstellar. Im guessing it is too emotional for him maybe. Bc of the father daughter relationship in that very touching.. But Chris wouldn't postpone a film bc he's emotional about it right ?
Yeah. The main problem of the film for me is the main villain has a poor motivation and is very cliché. His goons have even less motivation to help him
When everything is figured out in climax, i lose focused on this movie. Nolan should wait until end to answer audience because inception did a nice job with the ending but this movie is not.
I saw Tenet in one of the biggest IMAX screens in Europe and it was an experience I'll never forget. Ludwig Goransson's score made my seat literally shake. Amazing film
Watched it in IMAX and am a HUGE Nolan fan. I thought the movie was overcomplicated garbage. Not knowing what the hell is going on the entire time doesn't make for an engaging experience. None of Nolan's movies even come close to this one in terms of obscurity and leaving the audience in the dark. I'm all for mentally stimulating movies, but this one was something else.
I am so glad CinemaWins is tackling this complex film. Tenet is a film I have revisited several times. There are always new things to discover. It will be nice to have the CinemaWins perspective in my pocket the next time I watch Tenet.
Thank you for pointing out the fight between the Protagonist and his inverted self. Whenever I try to point that out and explain it to new watchers I am met with an empty look... and no-one gets why I get so excited about such a detail.
This movie has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. I love it so much and the track "Posterity" is insanely good. I love this movie because of how well the music works. Ludwig did an amazing job
One small typo and I liked your work so much that couldn't resist asking you to address it (sorry, I'm a perfectionist). At 18:47, subtitle shows 'It's a casual loop' whereas it should say 'It's a causal loop.' . Thank you again for great content.
That's true. I actually feel like I understand this movie less now having watched this video. It's too easy to get bogged down in the particular details and lose sight of the overall plot.
Big fan of this. I saw it at the cinema, missed 90% of the detail, walked out totally confused and have been watching "Tenet explained" videos ever since. This one fills in a lot of gaps.
Dude, you caught so many little details in this movie! So refreshing to see a video made by someone who has seen Tenet multiple times and actually understands it. A lot of critics just watched the movie once and were very dismissive of it.
I watched this movie for the first time when I had been up for about ~24 hours on 0 sleep. I understood literally none of it, yet I absolutely loved it.
I kinda expected the whole runtime to be a "palindrome" as in exactly half of the movie was about it going forward and the other half would be backwards till the movie ended exactly where it began.
The big miss for Nolan is, this movie has 152 minutes of runtime. He did miss the opportunity to make this movie about 141 / 151 minutes. You know, palindrome? *wink
That would be a NIGHTMARE to edit and would take concentration away from the artistic aspects when doing psot-production, this couldn't have worked, maybe with two years of editing
19:00 Actually wrong, the ending is furthest into the future because Future Kat has the phone Protagonist gave her to call 'Posterity' and she is with Max, who before that was would be with Past Kat. I know, confusing.
Also - does anyone else feel Nolan's meta-cinematic signature every time they watch this movie after the first time? We already know the outcome (what's happened happened), yet we still live the experience again.
Tenet is a film that rewards Nolan Nerds! I followed the entire thing, scene by scene, because I know how Nolan's exposition, misdirection, and signature thematic ideas mix into the plot and dialog of his films. Most anyone else without this level of insight were lost, yet still engaged and entertained by the pace and action like the rest of us. It is a remarkable film for the right audience :)
Honestly, seeing this video only made me appreciate the movie more because so much more was explained, and it made me appreciate CinemaWin's skill in noticing all the tiniest details. Keep up the good work!
I'm almost certain everyone who saw the movie had a moment where they went "Was that real? That felt real, did they crash a plane into a building?! OH... yeah... nolan..."
So I watched the movie after watching this video, since it more or less sold me that Tenet was something that I wanted to see, and man, am I glad I bought it. It's a fantastic heady piece that was as much fun to watch as it was trying to piece together for me, and I'm really excited to hear what you have to say about it in the end (or is it the beginning?).
I love this movie. To me it is one of the best stories of friendship and brotherhood I have ever seen. I was never really a fan of Edward but after this movie I was sold. The scene at the end where he is essentially saying Goodbye and Hello, and yet still just Goodbye but also still Hello, and the emotion he is hiding/burying inside as he runs to enter back into the turnstile to save humanity AGAIN... just hits me so hard. I fucking LOVE this movie. Sounds. Acting. Brain-bending plot. I love that in both this and Inception, Nolan does not spend extra time diving into the details of the critical plot device (turnstiles/Dream diving. ) You get a quick synopsis/summary? and then the rest is left up to the audience to soak up from sparse exposition or their own interpretations. I LOVE this movie.
1:48 - 2:18 this right here already proved my idea that this film will age like fine wine, maybe not Inception style, but I have a great feeling im gonna enjoy it a bit more every time i re-watch it, just like Inception
I loved this movie, and it really pains me to see that so many people do not feel the same. Even in this very comment section I've seen people saying they walked out of the theater or that it was a "terrible movie." Yeah, it's extremely confusing, but it feels like such a great payoff when you figure out what's going on. I really hope these people give it a second chance at some point.
Exactly my thoughts. I've seen this movie quite a few times and everytime I watched, I found some minute detail that made me realize the mind-blowing consistency of its story. Every scene, every dialogue, every shot makes sense and adds to the story a bit more. My friend, who I watched the movie with the first time, didn't appreciate it at all. Once you accept the movie's basic inverting concept and do not dwell too much into the laws that it is violating, it's an absolute masterpiece.
Endlessly appreciate your appreciation for all these movies. Tenet is already one of my favorites , I didn't think I could love it any more until I watched your videos on it
This movie made my dad and I stop it every ten (not joking) minuts to analyze everything, each analisys 10 to 20 minuts. We ended the movit at 00:50 and beggin it at 20:00. Dense don't even begin to describe it.
@@eoin4172 I may have write that wrong, I was calling the movie Dense, not my dad. Actually, the bigger reason I loves the movie is because last time that both my dad and my could watch a movie and enjoy it for hours was three years ago.
@@eoin4172 Nothing happened, anyone can misunderstand a RUclips comment. More when English isn't my first lenguage, so this type of confussion isn't the first time to me.
Nolan’s reliance & communion with practical effects & immersive experiences really pays off in this film. It is definitely one of the most technically impressive films in years.
Great video. To the people who watch Tenet and complain it is too confusing, I give them this quote from the film: ‘Don’t try to understand it, just feel it’. Sometimes you don’t need to understand the plot of a film to know it’s a great one. (Also sorry I’m so late)
Whoa I just caught this while watching and didn’t see it in the video, but at 13:26, the rooms are marked with red and blue squares. Blue because the future protagonist enters the scene inverted and then exits on the other side, the red room, in normal time again. Such a cool little detail!
By far the one movie that deserves a 2nd watch. Nothing even comes close. The level of detail is immense and intimidation but, so, soo worth it. Thanks again CinemaWins! ☺️
This truly is one of the most amazing and absolutly most original movies ever made. I mean, it takes nothing for granted, except the "spy" genre, and everything else is original, conntected, palindromic. I think people feel like there is missing something in the movie because A it was too confusing for most and even I had to scratch here and there after 3 times watching in cinema, B its quite a different pacing movie than all the standard Disney/Marvel action with building up towards the climax. Also, that is why I love the palindrome / pincer manouvre of this movie, it peaks in the beginning and end, has another 2 maybe 3 acts in between, so its like there is no building up because its a palindrome. And saying all that, proves how genius this movie is. Nolan has made new rules for making a movie, just for one movie. And he thought out every last detail masterfully. I havent even talked about the cool effects of everything going backwards or its all real not cgi stuff. It may not feel like the best Nolan movie some say, but to me this was absolutly the best movie ever made in terms of this new concept and it took its concept 1000% correctly. No plotholes, enough questions and enough confusement for the audience and after watching the movie, it feels like you then start solving the puzzle. And the score.... best of 2020, I listen to it weekly.
Dude! Until now I used to brag about 'seeing' movies (vs simply 'watching' them). Other than ROTAS and a few, I had missed everything else...You ROCK! Respect 🙏🙏
Guy Richie club is bit underated. Everyone says it's a Nolan movie to describe somthing. But if you have seen enough Guy Richie movies you know his signature. My fav Man from UNCLE
I love Tenet. "I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago..." How does that not get a win? *0:30* it's sounds beautiful but sounds mesmerising when it's reversed. So red is fowards and blue is backwards. Blue sounds better when it's reversed (inverted).
I thoroughly enjoyed both CinemaWins and CinemaSins on Tenet. I think personally is probably Nolan's best work to date in all senses. Take the best part of Memento, Prestige, Inception, Interstellar and you have Tenet. Brilliant brilliant movie. And thanks for the entertainment CinemaWins!
Wait they actually do the Tenet sign all the time? I thought they forgot about that part after watching in the movie but they were just too stealthy for me lol
This is a masterful piece of cinematography by Nolan! I have watched this over and over and over and I know everything about the movie but still ironically feel like I know absolutely nothing at the same time!!
As I was watching Tenet, at certain points did I realize something was necessary without it being too obvious nor obtuse. That's great direction, when the director doesn't have to give you a text or a neon sign to scream "THIS IS IMPORTANT" but have faith that you have the brains to figure it out before it comes to fruition.
100% agree with you, the score is incredible! LG did an amazing job and, like yourself, I was just as excited about the music as the timeplay when I saw the preview in the cinema months before release. While he didn't win the Golden Globe for the score, I think he might actually win the Oscar.
I just watched it and I'm speechless. To me it is superhuman writing. I'm unable to fathom how one would even start writing such a story, I can't even make up a palindrome. Absolute masterpiece!
The score of this movie is amazing, Nolan and the studio probably got a little worried when they found out HZ couldn't do it, but it worked out really well.

Save that for April fools

idk, i think that critic community wouldn't get behind a movie whose appeal is so gimmicky and based on a near incomprehensible idea. i think that the appeal to the movie explainer culture will overshadow the genuinely good cinema elements
@@Qkrducks True, its sad that they didn't think to watch it anothher time and then critic it from there.
Kenneth Branagh really did a good job in this, his accent seemed so natural. Usually when a person putting on an accent raises their voice to a shout or lowers to a whisper the accent wobbles but he nailed it everytime and kept the emotion in it too. That said, everyones performances were solid.
LazyLiam he’s pretty good with accents. In Jack Ryan, he was Russian and it sounded so genuine, I struggled to understand what other film he was in. Then I finally remembered he was in Harry Potter
His accent was the only good thing about his performance lol
@@parissa5911 I watched Jack Ryan and Tenet back to back and my jaw just dropped when I saw him playing the russian bad guy two movies in a ROW
@@ng9706 yep honestly if I didn’t know he was British from his role in Harry Potter, I’d be entirely convinced that he’s Russian
@@southpark645 I actually really liked his performance, even if the character was kinda generic
Sator's "If I can't have you, no one else can" isn't just him being chauvinistic, but also a hint at his motivation behind destroying reality since he can't have a future as he's dying.
in the future the sun will expand and burn Earth, people from the future simply want to reverse time to double the life-span of humanity
the main character have basically ruined everything, the humanity will end, locked in bunkers underground while the Sun melts the surface and bakes everyone underground
misogynist & chauvinistic, surely. Terrorists & gendered violence go together hand-in-hand. Chauvinism seems to be putting it a bit too lightly. Sexualized violence (the belt) (& murdering her perspective lovers) indicates more than just ‘excessive support for his own cause, or gender.’ Violent misogyny is equally a part of his character and applying this as a ‘hint’ to his approach to the whole world makes me uncomfortable somewhat. Though men do mass murder suicides on the regular over losing control of women, it was a weird ‘I’m taking the whole world out and happen to also have that common domestic violence homicide motivation/loss of control as well.’ It’s normally very specifically directed in like every other case across our globe... so it’s an odd pairing here in the way it’s laid out as character motivation. But I guess it’s hard to get your bad guy to taking out his entire past, future, genetic line & human existence & all that so w/e.
@@snowsnow4231 Do you now how much time has to pass for that to happen? And even if humanity manages to survive that long, they would probably be changed so much because of evolution that they are an entirely different species.
@@snowsnow4231 im pretty sure humanity will be long gone before the sun destroys earth

This video explained to me an error made in the movie: in the scene where they're walking in the airport, the sign above misspells the Norwegian "utgang" (exit, or in context gate) as "utång" for some reason. And I'm pretty sure the reason is, the symbolism CinemaWins points out is Exactly Right, and intentional; Nolan wanted that shot to be in the movie, but (unless they're in an area of it that I haven't ever been in) Gardermoen airport doesn't actually have any hallways that have moving walkways going both ways! They're either going toward the gates in the gates hall, or they're going toward the baggage hall in the arrival hallways. So, Nolan needed this scene but unlike the Opera House and Aker Pier, couldn't shoot it *in* Gardermoen because there's no hallways like that, he had to construct a set that *looked* like Gardermoen. And then the set designer didn't know Norwegian and misspelled the word.
this is pretty cool piece of knowledge🤝
when they do a countdown on the heist scene when they say "1" its exactly 1 hour 15 minutes after the movie has started and 1 hour and 15 minutes till the end
wtf
What the fuck brooo my brain
John-David Washington’s beard deserves all the wins.
Honestly the score is incredible. And I got to see it in theaters. The beat literally shook my chest. It was an amazing experience and I’m a bit sad a lot of people missed it due to the pandemic
I’m hoping they re release it when all this shit is over. I would run to a theater and I’m sure a lot of other people would too
Not doubt. I saw it in theatres but If they would re release I'd happily go see it again.
I will watch it in theaters as many times as the theaters make it available to me.
Lee... I'm amazed that you still haven't covered Interstellar yet
you have just made me realize, wow
i thought it was Lee
It's been 3 years since iv been asking him to do Interstellar. Im guessing it is too emotional for him maybe. Bc of the father daughter relationship in that very touching.. But Chris wouldn't postpone a film bc he's emotional about it right ?
who's Chris??... CinemaWins is done by Lee Boucher.
@@SA80TAGE 😂 Lol really ?? I thought his name was Chris bc of the comment above. Must've been a typo for 'Christ' 😂😂. So Lee is it ? Thank you 👍🏼
This movie was my highlight in 2020. Music, Story, Concepts, Stunts, Visuals etc etc, all executed in perfection. Favourite Movie ever.
8:54 "The kat and mouse game is over". I see what you did there
Let’s be honest, no amount of finely worded explanation will ever get us to fully understand the timeline of this movie
Maybe that is because the movie tries to bullshit-logic its way through instead of just enjoying the fact that it involves -1 time.
Time...line? Nah, it's more like time wibbly wobbly.
Or care
Everything happens at the same time, 's not complicated. No paradoxes, everything that happens, already happens, closed loop.
Why not? It seems pretty straightforward to me. Some stuff like the car chase is a bit confusing, but I understand what happened to the most part
While the movie might have its shortfalls.... I was literally floored thinking how they filmed those big set pieces with the dual time perspective
from a production standpoint it‘s a masterpiece. And a pretty good movie as well
@@kalmanta1824 Yep
@@kalmanta1824 Could not agree more
Yeah. The main problem of the film for me is the main villain has a poor motivation and is very cliché. His goons have even less motivation to help him
When everything is figured out in climax, i lose focused on this movie. Nolan should wait until end to answer audience because inception did a nice job with the ending but this movie is not.
I saw Tenet in one of the biggest IMAX screens in Europe and it was an experience I'll never forget. Ludwig Goransson's score made my seat literally shake. Amazing film
you mean terrible?
@@murry001 no he meant amazing.
Watched it in IMAX and am a HUGE Nolan fan. I thought the movie was overcomplicated garbage. Not knowing what the hell is going on the entire time doesn't make for an engaging experience. None of Nolan's movies even come close to this one in terms of obscurity and leaving the audience in the dark. I'm all for mentally stimulating movies, but this one was something else.
@@emperormouse5487 Idk, it was pretty clear the first time for me at least. Rewatch it. My rewatch did fill in some grey areas
@@_the_rizzler Definitely will! I owe this movie atleast another viewing before I toss it aside haha
Nolan should make a RUclips series to basically explain every scene of tenet. I would pay for that too
No, he needs to re-release this movie with the audio fixed.
I am so glad CinemaWins is tackling this complex film. Tenet is a film I have revisited several times. There are always new things to discover. It will be nice to have the CinemaWins perspective in my pocket the next time I watch Tenet.
That opening scene alone deserves 5 wins honestly.... just so epic
Thank you for pointing out the fight between the Protagonist and his inverted self. Whenever I try to point that out and explain it to new watchers I am met with an empty look... and no-one gets why I get so excited about such a detail.
John David Washington really outdid himseld on that sequence.
@@ChristopherNolanOfficial I see what you did there, sir.
Cinema wins: new video
Me: doesn’t even read title
This movie has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. I love it so much and the track "Posterity" is insanely good. I love this movie because of how well the music works. Ludwig did an amazing job
One small typo and I liked your work so much that couldn't resist asking you to address it (sorry, I'm a perfectionist). At 18:47, subtitle shows 'It's a casual loop' whereas it should say 'It's a causal loop.' . Thank you again for great content.
That moment when cinemawins explanations are even more confusing than the movie
That's true. I actually feel like I understand this movie less now having watched this video. It's too easy to get bogged down in the particular details and lose sight of the overall plot.
You left out the iconic line "I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago" 😭.
the grating scene should be at least 10 brutal points on its own too
@@fmobus Definitely
That was a good joke. And people say the Protagonist had no personality! 🙄😅

@@ChristopherNolanOfficial ah haha I see what you did there
It will be at its best then once you arrive at your first viewing.
Big fan of this. I saw it at the cinema, missed 90% of the detail, walked out totally confused and have been watching "Tenet explained" videos ever since. This one fills in a lot of gaps.
Finally John David Washington getting love, that stare really got me too... Everyone in this was pretty amazing
Dude, you caught so many little details in this movie! So refreshing to see a video made by someone who has seen Tenet multiple times and actually understands it. A lot of critics just watched the movie once and were very dismissive of it.
I watched this movie for the first time when I had been up for about ~24 hours on 0 sleep. I understood literally none of it, yet I absolutely loved it.
The movie was released exactly 1 year ago. I'm gonna watch it today.

I kinda expected the whole runtime to be a "palindrome" as in exactly half of the movie was about it going forward and the other half would be backwards till the movie ended exactly where it began.
The big miss for Nolan is, this movie has 152 minutes of runtime. He did miss the opportunity to make this movie about 141 / 151 minutes. You know, palindrome? *wink
Yeah, that would've been actually amazing.
Are you sarcasming?
The movie WAS a full palindrome and ended exactly at the time of the beginning opera scene
Somebody looked at the exact runtime and the midway point is 10sec off. Otherwise it is a palindrom
That would be a NIGHTMARE to edit and would take concentration away from the artistic aspects when doing psot-production, this couldn't have worked, maybe with two years of editing
19:00 Actually wrong, the ending is furthest into the future because Future Kat has the phone Protagonist gave her to call 'Posterity' and she is with Max, who before that was would be with Past Kat. I know, confusing.
Also - does anyone else feel Nolan's meta-cinematic signature every time they watch this movie after the first time? We already know the outcome (what's happened happened), yet we still live the experience again.
One of the incredibly rare movies that gets better basically every time you watch it.
That's Nolan's every movie
Inception: I have a plot twist
Tenet: tsiwt tolp a evah I
Tenet * in a Senate accent *: I AM the Plot Twist
Sator: Reviled did I live, said I, as evil I did deliver.
.reeb ym dolh :teneT
oaml
Ngl, i had to watch this movie 4 times just to barley grasp it, however i enjoyed it even more, with every rewatch
Tenet is a film that rewards Nolan Nerds! I followed the entire thing, scene by scene, because I know how Nolan's exposition, misdirection, and signature thematic ideas mix into the plot and dialog of his films. Most anyone else without this level of insight were lost, yet still engaged and entertained by the pace and action like the rest of us. It is a remarkable film for the right audience :)
Honestly, seeing this video only made me appreciate the movie more because so much more was explained, and it made me appreciate CinemaWin's skill in noticing all the tiniest details. Keep up the good work!
That face grate move deserves at least 5 wins. Probably one of the few times that I loudly cringed at a film or show due to an injury someone gets
I'm cringing in sympathy pain just thinking about. Absolutely brutal.
And the genius is, it’s not graphic. You see the action but not the result yet it is still extremely cringeworthy.
"kat and mouse game" even the subtitles have secrets
The 747 scene is one of my favorite movie scenes ever.
I'm almost certain everyone who saw the movie had a moment where they went "Was that real? That felt real, did they crash a plane into a building?! OH... yeah... nolan..."
So I watched the movie after watching this video, since it more or less sold me that Tenet was something that I wanted to see, and man, am I glad I bought it.
It's a fantastic heady piece that was as much fun to watch as it was trying to piece together for me, and I'm really excited to hear what you have to say about it in the end (or is it the beginning?).
I love this movie. To me it is one of the best stories of friendship and brotherhood I have ever seen. I was never really a fan of Edward but after this movie I was sold. The scene at the end where he is essentially saying Goodbye and Hello, and yet still just Goodbye but also still Hello, and the emotion he is hiding/burying inside as he runs to enter back into the turnstile to save humanity AGAIN... just hits me so hard. I fucking LOVE this movie. Sounds. Acting. Brain-bending plot. I love that in both this and Inception, Nolan does not spend extra time diving into the details of the critical plot device (turnstiles/Dream diving. ) You get a quick synopsis/summary? and then the rest is left up to the audience to soak up from sparse exposition or their own interpretations. I LOVE this movie.
Week 16 of asking for Everything Great about Dead Man's Chest.

He should cover Rango. For me, it's one of the best animated films ever.
I agree
@@phelps166 3 years? 😭😭😭
I absolutely love the fight scene in the kitchen purely because of how hard the protagonist hits
“pullup” is also a palindrome
great catch !
Yes..and then the action itself is palindromic. This movie is crazy...
Oh shittttt
"Tenet"
using palindromes is TIGHT!
Whaaaaattttttt????
1:48 - 2:18 this right here already proved my idea that this film will age like fine wine, maybe not Inception style, but I have a great feeling im gonna enjoy it a bit more every time i re-watch it, just like Inception
I loved this movie, and it really pains me to see that so many people do not feel the same. Even in this very comment section I've seen people saying they walked out of the theater or that it was a "terrible movie." Yeah, it's extremely confusing, but it feels like such a great payoff when you figure out what's going on. I really hope these people give it a second chance at some point.
Exactly my thoughts. I've seen this movie quite a few times and everytime I watched, I found some minute detail that made me realize the mind-blowing consistency of its story. Every scene, every dialogue, every shot makes sense and adds to the story a bit more. My friend, who I watched the movie with the first time, didn't appreciate it at all. Once you accept the movie's basic inverting concept and do not dwell too much into the laws that it is violating, it's an absolute masterpiece.
@Asullen Void Ah yes. We're the snobs. Not humble old you.
it's better than inception in my opinion, it shows it much clearer and the writing is PHENOMENAL
It's a movie for smarter people ;)
no fuck them. their loss haha.
The title card in this movie where jdws face is up against camera is so unsettling and beautiful
Me not having watched the movie: Aha, hmm interesting
I have no Idea what he is talking about but I know its great
How to melt someone's brain in 0.5 seconds
Endlessly appreciate your appreciation for all these movies. Tenet is already one of my favorites , I didn't think I could love it any more until I watched your videos on it
The answer is no: there has not ever been a more beautiful man with a more beautiful beard.
Michael Cane... oh, I missed the beard part.
This movie made my dad and I stop it every ten (not joking) minuts to analyze everything, each analisys 10 to 20 minuts. We ended the movit at 00:50 and beggin it at 20:00. Dense don't even begin to describe it.

With Kenneth Branagh as the villain, and Michael Caine as M.
And Zimmer scoring it.
@@orarinnsnorrason4614 maybe zimmer and ludwig collab bc i loved the score on tennet so i think them sharing it would be great.

Cavill, Fassbender, Hardy. One of those plz for next Bond plz :)
You have no idea how happy I was when I saw the title
Nolan’s reliance & communion with practical effects & immersive experiences really pays off in this film. It is definitely one of the most technically impressive films in years.
Great video. To the people who watch Tenet and complain it is too confusing, I give them this quote from the film: ‘Don’t try to understand it, just feel it’. Sometimes you don’t need to understand the plot of a film to know it’s a great one. (Also sorry I’m so late)
Dude, seriously, YOU need to win extra points for every time you turn a satisfying phrase or pun. Seriously!
Me reading: Everything great about
Also me: Thinking it’s a old one
Still me: reads Tenet
Me freaking out spamming the Video
Whoa I just caught this while watching and didn’t see it in the video, but at 13:26, the rooms are marked with red and blue squares. Blue because the future protagonist enters the scene inverted and then exits on the other side, the red room, in normal time again. Such a cool little detail!
By far the one movie that deserves a 2nd watch. Nothing even comes close. The level of detail is immense and intimidation but, so, soo worth it. Thanks again CinemaWins! ☺️
This truly is one of the most amazing and absolutly most original movies ever made. I mean, it takes nothing for granted, except the "spy" genre, and everything else is original, conntected, palindromic. I think people feel like there is missing something in the movie because A it was too confusing for most and even I had to scratch here and there after 3 times watching in cinema, B its quite a different pacing movie than all the standard Disney/Marvel action with building up towards the climax. Also, that is why I love the palindrome / pincer manouvre of this movie, it peaks in the beginning and end, has another 2 maybe 3 acts in between, so its like there is no building up because its a palindrome.
And saying all that, proves how genius this movie is. Nolan has made new rules for making a movie, just for one movie. And he thought out every last detail masterfully. I havent even talked about the cool effects of everything going backwards or its all real not cgi stuff.
It may not feel like the best Nolan movie some say, but to me this was absolutly the best movie ever made in terms of this new concept and it took its concept 1000% correctly. No plotholes, enough questions and enough confusement for the audience and after watching the movie, it feels like you then start solving the puzzle.
And the score.... best of 2020, I listen to it weekly.
Favorite movie of all time. Dead serious. I’ve watched it 20+ times. More than any other movie. My favorite movie before was Interstellar.
I'm going to add a win for The Expanse fans out there. At 0:43, that guy in the shot with John David is Wes Chatham, Amos Burton in the series.
nice catch.
it's amazing you caught that omg i didn't even recognize him without his beard
I caught that. He’s good in Expanse
I caught it on the second watch

Dude! Until now I used to brag about 'seeing' movies (vs simply 'watching' them). Other than ROTAS and a few, I had missed everything else...You ROCK! Respect 🙏🙏
After you do the rest of tenet, it'd be amazing if you did the prestige
Will you be doing - THE GENTLEMEN by Guy Ritchie anytime soon? It was such an underrated movie of 2020.
Guy Richie club is bit underated. Everyone says it's a Nolan movie to describe somthing. But if you have seen enough Guy Richie movies you know his signature. My fav Man from UNCLE
For some reason it went under the radar.
I love Tenet. "I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago..." How does that not get a win? *0:30* it's sounds beautiful but sounds mesmerising when it's reversed. So red is fowards and blue is backwards. Blue sounds better when it's reversed (inverted).
I saw this movie in theaters when it came out and it was so worth it. Score is 10/10
I thoroughly enjoyed both CinemaWins and CinemaSins on Tenet. I think personally is probably Nolan's best work to date in all senses. Take the best part of Memento, Prestige, Inception, Interstellar and you have Tenet. Brilliant brilliant movie. And thanks for the entertainment CinemaWins!
Wait they actually do the Tenet sign all the time? I thought they forgot about that part after watching in the movie but they were just too stealthy for me lol
17:32 is genius! It just shows how meticulously planned this movie is.
Missed you man! CinemaWins is back after two weeks (the worst two weeks of all time) and that's a win!
This is a masterful piece of cinematography by Nolan! I have watched this over and over and over and I know everything about the movie but still ironically feel like I know absolutely nothing at the same time!!
As I was watching Tenet, at certain points did I realize something was necessary without it being too obvious nor obtuse. That's great direction, when the director doesn't have to give you a text or a neon sign to scream "THIS IS IMPORTANT" but have faith that you have the brains to figure it out before it comes to fruition.
I'm compelled to watch the movie now to see if my brain hurts any less.
So early i must've been inverted to know when this was gonna be posted
100% agree with you, the score is incredible! LG did an amazing job and, like yourself, I was just as excited about the music as the timeplay when I saw the preview in the cinema months before release. While he didn't win the Golden Globe for the score, I think he might actually win the Oscar.
I’ve seen every tenet essay this is the best one ever. Jesus
I just watched it and I'm speechless. To me it is superhuman writing. I'm unable to fathom how one would even start writing such a story, I can't even make up a palindrome. Absolute masterpiece!
Glad i am not the only one who thought a big portion of this felt like a bond movie.
when I saw the movie in theaters, I thought my brain was about to melt.
The score of this movie is amazing, Nolan and the studio probably got a little worried when they found out HZ couldn't do it, but it worked out really well.
THIS is a lover's essay that appreciates the conundrum and that's why I appreciate it TOTALLY!!!!
The first time i watched this movie i had no idea what was happening. Thanks for finally letting me know. Cheers
