CinemaWins should've released Part 2 first

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.

Alternative title: *CinemaWins has a crush on John David Washington for 21 minutes*

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.

Dr. Brand in Interstellar: "Time is relative... it can stretch, it can squeeze... but it can't run backwards." Christopher Nolan writing TeneT: *Interesting.*

Neil is very lively and good-humored for a Nolan character. So it's not surprising that something's up with him.

Tenet fans: This movie is incredible, so ahead of its time yet under appreciated. Me: racecar

"With a hi-vis vest and a clipboard you can get almost anywhere." As a construction worker, this is absolutely true.

How did he not win the “I asked for my hot sauce an hour ago?” Joke.... it was amazing

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.

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.

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 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

Let’s be honest, no amount of finely worded explanation will ever get us to fully understand the timeline of this movie

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

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.

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.

the lack of a win for “i ordered my hot sauce an hour ago” was admittedly very disappointing

I feel that Tenet will age like a fine wine. Not everyone will like it at first but eventually, more and more people will.

8:54 "The kat and mouse game is over". I see what you did there

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.

This movie will be appreciated in the future, it’s ahead of it’s time

Nolan should make a KZfaq series to basically explain every scene of tenet. I would pay for that too

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

Lee... I'm amazed that you still haven't covered Interstellar yet

John-David Washington’s beard deserves all the wins.

This movie was my highlight in 2020. Music, Story, Concepts, Stunts, Visuals etc etc, all executed in perfection. Favourite Movie ever.

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.

You left out the iconic line "I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago" 😭.

While the movie might have its shortfalls.... I was literally floored thinking how they filmed those big set pieces with the dual time perspective

Finally John David Washington getting love, that stare really got me too... Everyone in this was pretty amazing

The answer is no: there has not ever been a more beautiful man with a more beautiful beard.

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.

? “How do you want to die?” “Old.” No Win For

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.

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.

Inception: I have a plot twist Tenet: tsiwt tolp a evah I

That moment when cinemawins explanations are even more confusing than the movie

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.

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.

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 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.

“This could be your second chance.” “I don’t need redemption.” “At betrayal.” 😏

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 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

That opening scene alone deserves 5 wins honestly.... just so epic

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 :)

I'm surprised at 10:31 you didn't mention that Rotas is Sator backwards and that Opera is Arepo backwards, and that Tenet is a palyndrome and central to everything.

“pullup” is also a palindrome

Cinema wins: new video Me: doesn’t even read title

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.

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!

This film gets better everytime I watch it.

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.

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!

Fun fact: twilight is both the moment before the sun rises and the moment after the sun sets. And you can't tell which it is, just like how in the movie you can't tell which direction time moves.

Week 16 of asking for Everything Great about Dead Man's Chest.

"kat and mouse game" even the subtitles have secrets

I saw this movie in theaters when it came out and it was so worth it. Score is 10/10

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.

The 747 scene is one of my favorite movie scenes ever.

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

The reason Sator knows to ask if 241 is in the BMW is because in forward time, he is in contact with his forward time team that ambush Neil at the end. They inform him that they were driving a BMW and he questioned whether he left it in the BMW after "tossing" the case across. Later in inverted time, Sator realizes the protagonist threw it to his inverted self and issues the forward team to retrieve the 241. That's the forward attack of his temporal pincer.

This is the best movie that I've ever seen, tecknikly and emotionaly envolved me, I mean so much emotion was in it and most of all neil caracter😢😢😢and with nolan work I always being his huge fan🙌🙆

One of the incredibly rare movies that gets better basically every time you watch it.

How to melt someone's brain in 0.5 seconds

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.

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

15:16 a bond film starring michael fastbender as james bond, directed by christopher Nolan.

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.

4:53 the subtitles are perfect

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.

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.

Ngl, i had to watch this movie 4 times just to barley grasp it, however i enjoyed it even more, with every rewatch

I noticed the detail about the protagonist fighting himself and how each version was better in the fight because of their experience on either end on my first viewing and was even more confident about it on my second. My friends didn't believe me tho so thank you so much for seeing it as well and pointing it out!!

Can I express how Neil’s Theme (Forward and Inverted) is one of the most beautiful pieces of score from movies? Neil is pretty much a mysterious person who is in Tenet, and knows more than we think. His theme represents that exactly. His palindromic cords representing his life is always in a loop since his Sacrifice in Stalsk-12. Neil is stuck in a constant loop that he keeps meeting his friend, feeling that dread he feels when he took the Inverted Bullet, and just the depression to have to repeat the cycle again, and again, and again.

Me not having watched the movie: Aha, hmm interesting I have no Idea what he is talking about but I know its great

The title card in this movie where jdws face is up against camera is so unsettling and beautiful

Been waiting for this! Thanks for making great videos!

Great breakdown of an amazing film. I love that Tenet gets even better on subsequent viewings

Will you be doing - THE GENTLEMEN by Guy Ritchie anytime soon? It was such an underrated movie of 2020.

I absolutely love the fight scene in the kitchen purely because of how hard the protagonist hits

I'm so glad to see you covering this movie, I loved it so much so I can't wait to see how your brain picks apart the movie in part 2.

I’ve seen every tenet essay this is the best one ever. Jesus

Parts of this movie were filmed right here in my home town.

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.

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.

THIS is a lover's essay that appreciates the conundrum and that's why I appreciate it TOTALLY!!!!

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

After you do the rest of tenet, it'd be amazing if you did the prestige

My interpretation of him putting his hand up was to avoid eye contact, making the execution easier to do. The voice line accompanying the action supports this in my mind. I love this film a lot, I’m a year late to the video but it’s a good one!

This is my first time watching one of your videos and it’s so good. Definitely a new favorite channel

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!

Me reading: Everything great about Also me: Thinking it’s a old one Still me: reads Tenet Me freaking out spamming the Video

Yo, the content you watch really tunes your perspective. Thanks for this video. I had such an awesome time watching and analyzing and enjoying this film. It was such a dope cinematic experience. Thanks for a chance to relive it in a positive way!

You're very clever. Your attention to detail is astonishing and unbelievable. I love your work.

You have no idea how happy I was when I saw the title

Favorite movie of all time. Dead serious. I’ve watched it 20+ times. More than any other movie. My favorite movie before was Interstellar.

OMG THANK YOU! Was hoping you'd do a video about Tenet !!

Glad i am not the only one who thought a big portion of this felt like a bond movie.
