    Nolan played the "Three Steps of Magic" again in the new film, using visual spectacles and super-high-speed narrative rhythms as blind methods to hide those obvious foreshadowings, and they were revealed one by one in the latter half. After watching the movie, I discovered the subtlety of the title. The entire narrative structure is also TENET-like. This is wonderful. The whole is similar to "Inception", using 007 and Mission Impossible spy action elements as the framework for the sci-fi concept of "quantum reversal". I watched the climax of the whole movie, which is still highly confidential, with my mouth open.

    How should people who believe in the grandfather's paradox get into this movie? Just rely on a parting motto like what happened has happened? I don't believe that people's choice of will will not be shaken by penetrating the future, as "Arrival" has actually discussed this matter. Nolan shouldn't just be obsessed with physics, he should also take some time to take a course in psychology.

Tenet quotes

  • Andrei Sator: [to Kat] Look at me! And understand, you don't negotiate with a tiger. You admire a tiger until he turns on you and you feel its true fucking nature!

  • Andrei Sator: You're not going to kill me.

    Kat: I already tried.

    Andrei Sator: You pushed me off a boat. You are not going to shoot me in cold blood.

    Kat: My blood's not cold, Andrei.

    Andrei Sator: No. But you're not angry enough. Because anger scars over into despair. I look in your eyes... I see despair.

    [Sator grabs the gun and kicks/punches Kat to the ground]

    Andrei Sator: Vengeful bitch! Living off me! Thinking that you're better! Enough!
