To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Tenet. The pace is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of time travel most of the time travel will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also the protagonist’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation – his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The experienced movie watcher understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these time travel, to realize that they’re not just intellectual- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Tenet truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the pace in the protagonist’s existencial catchphrase “it’s time” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Cristopher Nolan’s genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Tenet tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
