Review of Tenet

This movie is actually not that hard to understand. If you really want to have your mind blown then watch Dark on Netflix it's got three seasons. You're welcome. Anyway it's very simple. This movie is about two different timelines occurring at the same time. Same people, two different timelines, future and past. The "present" timeline is actually not at play here so don't wonder how can the past be the present and how can the future have an effect on the past or present. Again the "present" timeline is not at play here in this movie, it never exists. Here comes a SPOILER.... think of the future in past tense as if things have already happened and not as how they "will" happen. The Protagonist from the future went back in time to recruit and put everyone and everything in its place in order for things to happen just like they should. The Protagonist is the one pulling all the strings, he's the puppet master but his future self doesn't know it yet, he only realizes it once the mission is done and so he understands it's his responsibility to make sure everything goes according to the plan that worked in the future.
