Full Version: To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Christopher Nolan's Tenet
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Christoper Nolan's Tenet is a movie about the possible application of time travel and was based on the electron time reversal that was conducted in a laboratory in the states.

The movie's special effects are highly convincing. It's lead character played by John David Washington is an central intelligence agent who has to accomplish both a personal mission and a world rescuing one. The antagonist played by kenneth branagh is as evil as they come.

There are backwards fight scenes that can be confusing unless your IQ is high enough to comprehend it.

There is also world wide warfare and beautiful scenes of Europe that take you there.

Repetition of previous scenes from a different perspective is also executed perfectly.

Excellent acting and worth a watch for the mind-blowing implications of time travel and the Grandfather's paradox.
This demonstrates that you grossly overestimate you own intelligence, as Tenet doesn't take an especially high IQ to comprehend. And you further illustrate this by not knowing that no one has demonstrated that electrons move backwards through time. My retired mother followed that movie just fine, without any knowledge of physics.
GO TO HELL YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!

Took long enough (circa 20 years) for Nolan to get it into production.

Back in certain short-story collections of the 1970s, Isaac Asimov indulged in facetious narcissism with respect to some of his autobiographical intros and notes. Fortunately he didn't enter politics, though, where public apprehension of that particular play on perception doesn't always work out quite right for larger segments of the population (i.e., Trump arguably a recent example).

We watched it earlier in the year -- so while I have a summary memory of such, the specific details have already faded away. (Toxic mold exposure performs its negative wonders on powers of recall.)

Not the first time in film history a character grappled with themselves, but perhaps rarely happening in this particular context.

We knew practically zilch about it back then. Expected it to purely be some secret-agent action movie or maybe a John Wick type assassin spree -- rather than slotting wholly under sci-fi.

^Exactly what I'd expect from a delusional moron.

First, a real intellect demonstrates their intelligence without having to repeatedly assert that they have a high IQ. Second, a real intellect has far more ways to justify their intelligence than you seem to possess. Both are obvious symptoms of the Dunning-Kruger effect, where the less intelligent lack the capability to accurately judge their own intelligence, leading them to overestimate their own abilities, which must be very frustrating for you...leading to just such outbursts.
