Christopher Nolan Says Tenet Is Not Supposed To Make Sense

Christopher Nolan reiterated his perspective on his 2020 film Tenet, emphasizing that some aspects of his filmography, including that movie, are not necessarily meant to make complete sense–and audiences can still find enjoyment in them without fully comprehending them. Speaking on a recent The Late Show With Stephen Colbert appearance, Nolan addressed the film’s complex narrative and viewers’ vocal struggles to fully grasp its perhaps intentionally obtuse intricacies. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Nolan, known for his tangled storytelling in films like Inception, Memento, and Interstellar–and arguably also Oppenheimer, if you find security hearings hard to follow–responded to questions about the perceived ambiguity of Tenet. “You’re not meant to understand everything in Tenet. It’s not all comprehensible,” Nolan said (via Variety), likening this ambiguity to the spinning top in at the end of Inception. He highlighted the deliberate uncertainty that he believes makes his movies worth watching, allowing room for audiences to engage and interpret them in their own way.
