Tenet Guide: A Compilation to Make Your Headaches Better (or Worse)
Temporal pincer what? Turnstiles who? We attempt to explain the concepts baked into Christopher Nolan’s mind-warping blockbuster, Tenet, and hopefully, no brains are fatally wounded along the way.
So you have contracted a severe migraine from Tenet, and now you are moving across the internet in search for answers, demystification and help. I can assure you, that you are not alone, and all is not lost. Help is near, and this is not a marketing campaign run by a hospital next to where you stay.
Tenet could easily be Nolan’s craziest and scariest offering to date, and it is not difficult to see why. Nolan has added yet another dimension into his usual time-obsessed approach in story-telling, and it will take more than a healthy, sane brain to absorb everything that he has to offer in two and a half hours. I can now start to see how the plot is backed up by years of Nolan’s sleepless nights, and question if he is still sane after coming up with a film of such complexity. Let’s have an in-depth look into the explanation of concepts and possible theories that have engineered the world of Tenet.
