Assignment 17- Koen

     Over the break, I go the chance to see the film Tenet by Christopher Nolan. The movie was about  a crisis in the world where the villain, Sator, was in charge of inverting things in the world which was basically reversing their entropy and it is up to the protagonist to stop that from happening or it would set off the end of the world. If Sator achieved his goal, he would make the inverted objects and the present ones collide with one another and that would end the world. The new take on time travel, or in this case, time inversion was truly brilliant by Christopher Nolan. The characters you meet with the protagonists are key people that you would not expect to be at certain points. For example, Neil was the protagonist's friend and sidekick throughout the journey. The protagonist meets him and thinks he doesn't know about the time inversion but when they were in trouble with Sator, it was Neil who knew more than the protagonists and called on more tenet soldiers to aid them. Another amazing aspect about this movie is that the protagonists has to go back and see things play out with Neil. You would never expect it, but towards the end of the movie, it is revealed that Neil was the one who saved the protagonist at the very beginning of the movie. Christopher Nolan's complexity in the movie Tenet is truly something to  witness. The movie's vagueness wants you to figure out the time loops and the linear progression of the story. It is truly a movie you would want to watch twice.
