So what the fuck actually happened in this movie? I only have enough brain cells for one recursion layer and a single, spinning red apple. Break it down for me?>Were they actually fighting climate change? >Why was everyone fighting at the end/beginning?>Everything that happened was orchestrated by the protagonist using his knowledge of events that had already transpired? What? >Why was this movie so horny for the Goya painting and the freeport meme? Did Nolan read about these things the day he wrote the script and get really excited about including them eventually leading to the plot of Daredevil Born Again? >Why do people keep talking about this tablet from a thousand years ago with palindromes and whatever you call a word that has a different meaning when its spelling is reversed?>If I asked nicely do you think Elizabeth Debicki would fuck me? Asking for a friend.
i donno but i like it, good movie.
>>220520350I died of boredom 1.5 hours in and turned it off what'd I miss
>>220520350the plot's messy but basically>people from the future are trying to reverse time and colonize the past because their world is dying>they send technology and gold back in time so their proxy in the present (russian oligarch dude) can gather the mcguffins necessary to reverse time permanently>protagonist attempts to stop him, puts together a growing force of people in opposition to this to fight the war>him developing this force happens entire offscreen in the future of the movie's timeline and feels disjointed because they are constantly moving back and forth in time, to the point where they interact with and assist his past self before he formed them>they stop the bad guy and retrieve the mcguffins
>>220520350A bunch of guys in soldier outfits ran around between explosions looking for a truck crankshaft while some giraffe woman cock-teased a negro and threw her husband off a yacht. And Robert Pattinson showed up long enough to out-act the negro, who never got his hot sauce.
>>220520350It's essentially a black ops operation by a coalition of intelligence agents from various agencies to prevent an arms deal between Russky nihilist and the future people. More than anything the movie appears to be about describing moral relativism in geopolitical conflict to normies.
>>220520350Like all movies that involve time travel it's retarded.If the future people succeed they would never be born so how can they succeed in their plan if they were never there.
The opening scene in the opera is perhaps the most chaotic thing I've ever seen in a film, and I still don't understand it.An armed group takes the audience hostage inside an opera house.They put them to sleep using gas.The protagonist is close to infiltrating a kind of Ukrainian SWAT team.He looks for a specific person and finds him.This guy tells the protagonist about an object that is in the building so that he can find it.Inverted types appear who are armed.The protagonist and the subject flee the building before it explodes.They get into the car and are betrayed by the Ukrainians.Both are tortured and the other guy dies while the protagonist eats a cyanide pill.It turns out all that crap was a test, and now the only one who can save the world is the CIA.
>>220520847I don't know what the explanation of any of it is other than that the inverted guys who showed up are Pattinson's character and someone else saving the protagonist (we learn this because of the tag thing on his backpack we see later)
>>220520350>Here is what happened The ... ehTMovie ... eivoMHang on, someone is knocking on my door.
This movie had a few cool conceptual setpieces - the two guys that they fight in the freeport in the middle of the movie being revealed to be the main character from later in the movie coming in reversed and then coming out of the machine normal was a neat twist - but it had some fucking awful acting and it did nothing to make me care about any of the characters. People talk about how bad Denzel's nepo baby was in this but Debicki and Branaugh also turn in the worst and most cmapy performances of their lives.

>>220520702 why repeat >>220520583 verbatim?
>>220520583Wait isn't that the plot of Bill and Tedd Boggus journey? At least the final fight.

This probably benefited from the dialogue being impossible to hear, unfortunately half the action scenes were shit too.
>>220521142>This probably benefited from the dialogue being impossible to hearI've literally never noticed this in any of his films once yet there's always a fucking chorus of you dysgenic retards shouting this because your senses don't work correctly because you're some kind of subhuman goblin or something its genuinely bizarre
>>220520350the director needed to keep huffing his own farts after the thrill of Inception faded away like Ellen Page's tits.
>>220521331Well I don't understand why you have a small dick because I have a big dick, so here we are. Now will you fight me, or perish like a dog?
I FINNA CANT BREATHE GODDAMN CRACKAS TURNED THE OXYGEN BACKWARDS THROUGH TIME SHIIEEEE
>>220521331it's gotta be people listening with shit ass speakers turned down way too low, right?
>>220520350time tombs and shrike would go hard. nolan should make this instead of helen of detriot

what was the point of naming the MC "the protagonist"? Why not Frank or Johan?
>>220521913You can't stuff each pilgrim's story in a single movie. And it won't work as multiple movie because the time between releases will fuck up the story.It might work as a high budget long form mini-series, maybe around 17 one hour long episodes, released as one season.But this will never happen.
>>220521897no, I honestly think that most (98%+) of people genuinely are physically/mentally malformed you could sit them down in front of a 20K atmos setup and they'd be like ehhh it's too loud I don't like itand then immediately go back to watching film via the .27 cent built-in rear-facing 4" novelty speaker that has to exist legally or else the TV couldnt be sold
>>220520496My wife fell asleep and straight up refuses to watch it again.I thought it was alright.
>>220523453nolan and his brother are honest to god dogshit tier writers, I don't understand how in the fuck they've managed to get this far in the imdustry, its quite literally insane>tangerine.gif
>>220520496nothing, only a few early action scenes and anytime pattman is on screen are semi-watchableits an incredibly banal flick given it's high-concept that is so poorly executed it almost feels like an inside joke
>>220520350One of the most fun spy caper movie things.
>>220520583wasn't the Russian guy going to kill himself because his wife wasn't happy with their marriage and that was supposed to somehow end the world or whatever? I remember there being a point about not having him kill himself which is why the boat scene happens
>>220523752you mean the guy we never have a reason to care about who never seemed to get more than one take in any given scene and who's performance is literally all over the fucking place because nolan is an incompetent directorhe literally just run and guns single takes, calls it good and moves on, thats his thing, its why his flicks all feel so odd and memeable they're 150M+ dollar hack jobs
>>220523752His wife was some blackmailed human trafficking victim who hated him iirc, and the concern was he couldn't die because he had some sort of hearbeat sensor connected to the macguffin i think?
>>220523789it feels like the more "epic" Nolan's movies are the lazier he gets. His early stuff is shot, edited and acted much better because he had to give a shit or else he wouldn't work again. Now because he's an established guy he can put in a lazy effort and get away with it.
