Like when he said "I think this is the end of a beautiful friendship", I half expected to see flashbacks of the kid meeting the protagonist.
That would've been all-time!
God I wish Nolan had put that in.

But as the movie currently stands, if Nolan's intent was to suggest N=M, I don't think it is telegraphed well at all. Most of the things that people try together as evidence are reaches/coincidences, imo.
The only thing that I personally think hints at it, is Neil's asking the Protagonist about checking up on Kat at the end of the movie, and the playful way he says "Even from afar?"

I suppose "telegraphed" was the wrong word. Maybe just not effectively communicated on the screen.Cilogy wrote: ↑December 22nd, 2020, 2:58 pmDoes it have to be telegraphed?hotsauce32 wrote: ↑December 22nd, 2020, 2:07 pmBut as the movie currently stands, if Nolan's intent was to suggest N=M, I don't think it is telegraphed well at all.
