Call me Dad
The movie literally tells you not to try too hard to figure it out cause THEY don't even know
Explain Inversion to me in TENET because I respectfully turned it off after 10 minutes
- Thread starter Robo Squirrel
- Start date
it's not about attention spans, its about appropriate use of exposition in writingThey literally explain to you what it is in the movie. It's really not that complicated, y'all just don't have decent attention spans
shyt didnt make sense and you have to rewatch the movie to get it. Nolan does this a lot in his films
This video explains it all as well as possible:
ok imagine you have a remote control and you can hard press the rewind button on it and life as you know it will automatically go back in time in regular time , not a fast rewind. It's not chopped it's not screwed. It's rewinding in real time.
you get an idea. I'm going to win the lottery and become a rich coli poster
you go to a gas station the day before the lottery drawing. You appear to be moving flagrantly and bizzarre to everyone but they don't know youre moving backwards and assume you're another ignorable drunk clown. From your perspective the entire world as you knew it is moving backwards and you are moving normallyYou fill out your ticket.
as you walk to the counter someone walks in appearing to be moving in regular time. That's odd, because ur the only one with the remote control that can rewind reality and he doesn't appear to be rewinding.
The man walks directly to you with a look of indignation and says, "if you pay for that ticket I'm going to kill you. I know what you're doing." He's not talking backwards.
He then shops while glaring at you.
You think, "well if I'm in this deep I may as well go through with it"
Definatly and nervously you begin to walk to the counter and meet eyes with the mystery shopper as he navigates the aisle ways to intercept you.
you pick up the pace and make your way to the counter looking back at your aggressor.
Suddenly smoke fills the sky as a shot rings from across the counter into the time cop. Covering your ears like a coward wondering if it was all worth it you turn to the clerk and appear to be looking in the mirror.
The clerk takes your ticket, rings you up, tells you to press play and have a nice day.

I'd be pissed the fukk off if this did come
Should be called reversism instead
Inversion sounds stupid.I'm watching TENET right now and I have figured it out.
In the auditorium when he was picking up the bomb and he noticed the bullet hole. The bad guy who was about to shoot him from behind was standing in the path of the bullets trajectory.
Time went in reverse and the bullet went in his chest and out of his back as if he was standing there when the shot was originally fired.

Unless it's something that's meant to be light, I don't feel like I got my money's worth if it doesn't warrant at least one rewatch.
I understand hat's just me though

The best way to interpret inversion is to NOT think about it as time travel, but a PERSPECTIVE TURN. There is no BACKWARDS movement/traveling because every character in the film is always moving FORWARD in there own PERSPECTIVE, all on one timeline.
Again, this has NOTHING to do with time, as everyone and everything that inverts will move in that way because it was always meant to interact with everything in that fashion.
That being said, Nolan is a fukking genius for figuring out how to put this all on screen. The Temporal Pincer battle at the end of the film is logistically
. As a writer and director myself, I admire the fukk out of him for even attempting to translate this idea from a scientific observation to an entire storyline and cinematic experience.
