Raalsalghul: My gripe with Tenet is Nolan shooting it on a large scale: making it a blockbuster.
Too many players, locations, huge set pieces, sub plots and action.
The film would have worked better on a smaller scale: mid-sized budget, self contained story, less characters, one locale, few stuff going on especially on a story as complicated as that.
He should have taken a page from his first film Memento which also had a mindfuck plot but easier to follow due to a few things going on at the same time.
Any surprise that film was better received?
I like Tenet though for being an ambitious project, a little bit too much if you ask me.
Even me never understand the plot till today.
And Memento honestly works because of its non-linear nature. There's actually a linear version of the film sef - a special feature for one of its DVD releases - and it just hits different. In some scenes, it's practically comedic sef. Tenet is one of those films were it looks like it makes sense until it doesn't and you just keep watching it because you've gone too far and you're also enjoying the visuals.
itspreshh: 90% of these Nigerians reviewing movies on twitter know nothing about movies...
Again I'm reminded of this.
See how they're calling Glass Onion terrible. They're giving it 4/10 and 3/10 saying it's a useless movie etc
These guys will just gather a little following and be capping rubbish takes
The worst are those that tweet top 10 lists... I've never seen any of such list that is worth taking seriously at all
Excuse you... where are these silly folks?! How is Glass Onion terrible?! Abeg don't tell me before I start a whole new brand of twitter violence. My twitter is already violent enough.
itspreshh: peak movie... Only the last mission was a complete mindfûck that got me lost
hopefulLandlord: One day I'd truly understand that movie. I say that in the same way I say one day I'd become a billionaire
I legit still don't know what was going on in that fight. I was just watching for the spectacle. Nolan could have just done a legit spy action drama, but no-o, baba was like let me add time travel-ish - like can you even call it time travel, even they're just going backwards in time and they're still aging anyway? I'll just have to watch all the BTS features and hope that man explains his film. Temporal pincer move, boy, I still don't know WTF that was!
I really did find this song thanks to a tweet about a TikTok (his sister posted her husband & his side chick on her TT, look I enjoy messy nonsense, and Twitter is my haven for violence). Anywho, the song was the song in the TT video. I do love a good sad song.
