Tenet

In September 2020, the movie Tenet was released. I watched the hit film twice in the same year at theaters.

The story follows the protagonist who is paired with a mysterious guy named Neil and struggles to save a woman and the world from the villain.

Although I do not like time travel stories, yet I thought that I should have watched the film because of the reputation and the intriguing preview. I beforehand watched the first and second installment of Back to the Future, which I had avoid watching for a long time because they have time travel stories, in preparation to do Tenet.

When I firstly did the hit film, I gave up understanding the difficult time inversion scenes and the time-series far more complicated than Back to the Future before the middle but I could at least enjoy watching it from the start to the end because of the wonderful pictures. That was the second movie starring John David Washington that I had ever watched following BlacKkKlansman. He was not more glamourous than his father, Denzel Washington, but he had presence, which impressed me. I was also stricken by how sophisticated Robert Pattinson appeared and how beautiful the blonde tall Elizabeth Debicki looked. I watched both of them for the first time. Then I felt that the three actors gave a wonderful performance.

When I secondly did it, I could not understand the intricate time-series so much, so I just enjoyed watching the fantastic screen images again. I was also impressed with the playing of the two veteran actors, Michael Caine appearing for a short time and Kenneth Branagh playing the villain, in addition to the above three actors. I was especially stricken by a superb performance that Robert Pattinson gave as Neil who has what he wants to say but has to hide it feeling painful and looking cool to the end.

Honestly, I do not badly want to understand the time inversion scenes. I would be able to naturally do them as I repeatedly watch them. Anyway, I want to enjoy how I do them. It seems that I will have a long-term relationship with the movie as well as Blade Runner.

The last scene looks like the one of Casablanca. The entertaining blockbuster is filled with various elements.
