Tenet-(Read it backwards and it's yet the same word and this is called a Palindrome)
Lets begin by explaining the meaning of Tenet
"One of the principles or beliefs that a theory or larger set of beliefs is based on"
Christopher Nolan is a master of lateral thinking and has set up the audience to believe in the non linear pattern as the new normal, he is the David Copperfield of Cinema.
If the above is appreciated and comprehended by you, then let's move ahead in time and understand that this is a movie which needs another movie to explain the first one.
(The special ones will understand it the first time)
Some prerequisite's to watch this movie
A.Be a Nolan fan
B.You have to be someone who know's all about metaphysics
C.Immerse yourself to every aspect of the movie to avoid being lost and loose interest in the plot
D.Keep your digital dictionary open at all times eg: Entropy
E.Make sure you know what inverted means from the start
F.Grand father's paradox
(I walked in with option A and C only and that was my biggest failure)
I believe that Nolan amongst his peers is a genius and light years ahead of his peers.
He pushes his limits to enthral the audience and takes his audience spiralling between the real and the unknown with so much conviction that we nearly start believing in the unknown and forget the real and that is what the Tenet is.
Its a terrific mind bending concept which unravels a plot in the present of the future but can be altered in the past.
The movie and it's plot with its multiple layers will tell it's own tale of the protagonist and how he is being set up to save the world, might i say with Minority report in mind.
John David Washington is going to carry the baton of Denzel for many years ahead and has given a stellar performance in this multi faceted plot.
The others around him are not only supporting him but walk the talk and i must add that our very own Dimple Kapadia has taken this role and made it her epitaph for her tombstone.
"I have worked in a Nolan movie and nailed it"
Hoyte Van Hoytema in cinematography is worthy of an Oscar and nothing short.
If you understood Cobb's totem moving in the Inception then this movie is for you.
This classic dialogue in the movie will define the rest
"You have to start looking at the world in a new way"
