Tenet is pretty much about power and greed too. Sator’s greed for power. And hatred for the world we live in.
The backstory of him being helped (and commanded) by people from the future who want to reverse time because we fucked up the planet and therefore life in the future is shit, is pretty much just about climate change.
The movie wasn’t that deep tbh. Nolan throws in some time inversion stuff for the wow factor and because it looks cool, but tbh it’s just “let’s blow up the world to fix a big problem” (classic case of a villain with a relatable goal) vs the good guys with “the world has loads of people living in it, we can’t just blow it up”.
Personally I liked it. Don’t think it was a cinematic masterpiece you need to be incredibly cultured to understand or anything though.
I don’t think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.
He’s still one of the few directors that have full control over their movies.
I only pointed out that your snide comment would mean something coming from a filmmaker, whereas just some rando shitting on a unique piece of art doesn’t mean much.
Is it more or less pretentious than Tennet?
I’d say less, because the movie makes itself completely clear that it’s a fable about power and greed.
Sounds good to me, thanks

The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

I don’t either, but the critics that love art house movies prob do.
My point is the art house people love the dark Knight too.
Apart from sound design, I had no problems with Tennet. Insomnia was more pretentious.
That’s definitely a new take.
Tenet was fucking cool as shit, call it what you want, person who probably never made a movie.
What movie did you make?
Or are you the only one that’s eligible to have an opinion?
All the ones I’m shitting on in this thread.
Ah so you’re the only person allowed to have an opinion, and no one else can. Cuz you’re special, right?

Ok wow you are so cool
Yep, that is why I shit all over movies I could’ve never been creative enough to envision or make.
