Oh yeah watching the movie the second time I realized they camouflaged really well with the damn background lol
Also according to tweets, apparently CNN played Tenet commercials during the elections? Why is that so funny

Nah, their greatest protection is the invisible bullet-proof PG-13 cloak that is laid over them. Even the screenplay kills some unconscious crowd members, but the movie never dare does such a thing. The only thing put out to pasture is a cello.Oku wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 10:52 am16 seconds of pure bliss:

I love it
Considering you just posted this same thing two weeks ago, it's not exactly a newly-developed theory of yours.Retskrad wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 1:12 pmI have a theory that needs some work but I think I’m on to something. I think Christopher Nolan’s films gets worse the bigger budget he gets from the studio.
• Dark Knight Rises - $250 million
• Tenet - $225 million
These two are the worst or his career.
Let’s look at his other high budget movies:
• Dunkirk - $100 million
• Inception - $180 million
• Interstellar - $165 million
• Dark Knight - $180 million
Moral of the story is that Nolan works best inside the $100 - $180 million range. A studio giving him a blank check is a mistake and we as fans will lose at the of the day because no one in Nolan’s circle will criticize him because he has become too big of a figure in Hollywood so the restrain has to be the budget.
Dunkirk is the perfect example. The Dunkirk we all saw in the theater is an amalgamation of the most restraint he’s had of his career in terms of budget and resources (Memento) and the high budget look and feel of Inception and Interstellar. I think Nolan’s work in the future will be even better if the studio only gave him $100million now that COVID has changed the game. Nolan has shown us that he can put out some of the best work of his career with lower budgets like The Prestige, Memento and Dunkirk. I think budget restrains led to these great movies.Personally, it behooves me watching Dunkirk then Tenet that one costs twice as much as the other, but I wonder how much was spent on just closing a highway or crashing a plane.
I think he’s mentioned that they were able to make it at that budget because they didn’t have to pay American actors who’s pay retainers are much higher than young English actors who don’t even have an agent yet. So It’s a bit of a unique situation. Not what will normally happen for a movie of that scaleRetskrad wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 1:50 pmDunkirk is the perfect example.

This only makes sense if you don't calculate inflation. TDK, for example, would cost 217 million in today's dollars. Inception's budget would be 190 million in today's dollars.Retskrad wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 1:12 pmI have a theory that needs some work but I think I’m on to something.
