Since August I've done a tonne of videos on the movie and I've compiled the most asked questions to clear up any confusion over the film. This includes why the future version of the Protagonist shot at himself, what the Algorithm is, why Kat didn't need a mask on the boat and a lot lot more If this is your first time here then please click the thumbs down button and make sure you unsubscribe from the channel to never see a video. With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into the breakdown. Ok so Tenet opens with an Opera scene that pretty much throws you into the movie at the deepend. But what exactly is going on here? Well on the surface it seems like The Protagonist is part of a CIA operation to infiltrate the Opera during a siege so that he can secure the algorithm. This fails and instead he's drafted into the TENET organisation after being double crossed, having his teeth pulled out and also choking down on what he believes is a cyanide pill. Sounds like my kinda night at the Opera. But what exactly was going on here, well The Protagonist was actually given this intel by the future version of himself and this was so that he could not only ensure that he handed the Algorithm over to Sator but also make it so that he not only met Neil, but also showed he was willing to lay his life on the line. Before the finale we learn from Ives that the splinter team mission is meant to be one that nobody returns from. Ives even says that they can't afford having anyone left alive who knows what the algorithm is and the fact that the protagonist takes the pill shows that he's willing to lay down everything if needs be. Now why the future version made sure that Sator got a piece of the algorithm is hinted at by Priya who refuses to change telling his past version about where the algorithm is. Do try and keep up. She says that they actually need Sator to bring all of the pieces together so that they can then snatch them and then split them up. The entire point of the finale is to trick Sator into believing that his mission in burying the Algorithm is successful so Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
