Christopher Nolan solved that exposition problem by making the dialogue in Tenet totally inaudible. Such a genius
@louisfairbairn5721
This is nothing like a Nolan film, I could actually hear what they were saying.
@AlphaCentauri24
The best part of this skit is that it doesn't actually sound totally gobbledygook but gets more and more frustrating as you go along. Perfectly Nolanesque. 😂
@Sum_Guy
The only thing missing is loud epic music to confuse you even more
@dpenlow
The only thing missing is random scene jumps to them continuing this conversation while walking around a completely different location.
@saoirsedeltufo7436
It's cool that Nolan made Tenet based on this parody...
@zowbaid89
The start to this skit with the guy saying, “I’ve started without you, I hope you don’t mind” is the most Nolanesque piece of dialogue I’ve ever heard.
@peterwolfe2328
The two lines of small talk before getting to business is the most realistic part
@SceneComparisons
Tenet looks like it was written by a bot who read all the Nolan scripts.
@PrinceShehzad
"The plane crash didn't happen, or rather it will, but it won't yet" such a Christopher Nolan thing to say.
@Xtersin
The plot, from what I could tell (this is just so I can follow it): The American is after a Russian agent named Petrov who was posing as an MI5 asset for a decade and passing on false information to them. In actuality, Petrov was actually passing information from MI5 to someone else. Not the Russians, however, as they tried to imprison him after a failed attempt to steal a nuke. However, before he could be arrested, a doppelganger was put in his place and Petrov fled to Oslo, the capital of Norway, and married Linda Purcell, a multi-millionaire who made her money off of the diamond trade. Three weeks prior to the conversation of the British and American agents, an MI5 satellite detected, I assume, a non-nuclear detonation in Siberia which Petrov and Percel visited the very next day, otherwise there would hazardous amounts of radiation. Two days before the detonation, Petrov called a man named Darian Burkhart, a famous scientist, to start up a weapon's manufacturing company named 'Smyrtzelforger', however, the company does not officially exist. On the way to Siberia, however, the plane was shot down by a missile. The missile fragments were salvaged by MI5 and they discovered they were created by Smyrtzelforger and also discovered Darian Burkhart's involvement. This is remarkably strange as the man was supposedly dead, but due to Cecil's Theory of Quantum Mechanics, it seems possible that he could be revived in some capacity, the Detonation in Siberia seemingly having something to do with this. In addition, because of the detonation, the plane crash is no longer a fixed point on the timeline, the crashing no longer a certainty but becoming a string of maybes. By this point, we can infer that the detonation messes with time itself. In addition, the people onboard the plane didn't die nor is there any evidence to suggest they did. MI5, however, seems to think that Smyrtzelforger is, in some capacity, behind all of this and requests the American agent to go and figure out how and why, which involves 'The Fighting Temeraire', a work by the artist Turner, which was removed from its display 23 years priror to be professionally cleaned. However, when returned, it was fit with a microchip that hadn't been invented yet. That chip can be traced back (or forwards) to Smyrtzelforger. MI5 is currently interrogating the man who put the microchip there. As they don't know his name, they use the Pseudonym Sir Lawrence Lips. However, when MI5 searched Lawrence's apartment, they found a ring with an engraved inscription: 'Linda'. This Linda, however, is not Linda Purcell. This is Linda Shaw, a CIA operative who was working undercover in Vietnam for six months. However, it is believed she has been compromised by an agent of the Drug Network she was sent to investigate called Benjamin Slippers. Strange, again, as this man was believed to be dead. This agent met with Petrov in Vienna ten years prior to try and steal an elephant from London Zoo. This elephant, however, had nuclear codes carved into its tusks but during the plan, they kidnapped the wrong elephant. So, if we put it on a timeline, it looks like this. *23 years ago*: Sir Lawrence Lips, a possible time-traveller, planted a microchip from Smyrtzelforger on the painting, 'The Fighting Temeraire'. *10 years ago*: Petrov and Slippers attempted to steal an elephant which had nuclear codes engraved into its tusks in London Zoo. However, they stole the wrong elephant. Petrov poses as an MI5 asset. *Six months ago*: Linda Shaw is compromised in Vietnam and begins feeding the CIA with false intel. *Six months to three weeks ago*: Petrov is found to be a mole selling off information and he narrowly escapes Russian captivity by planting a doppelganger. He flees to Norway and marries Multi-Millionaire Linda Purcell. *Three weeks ago*: Petrov and Darian Burkhart discuss Smyrtzelforger over phone. Two days later, MI5 satellites detect a detonation in Siberia which Petrov and Purcell attempt to visit the very next day, but they are shot down by a Smyrtzelforger missile. The Plane crash could happen or it could not happen. Everyone on board survives. *Current*: MI5 is interrogating Sir Lawrence Lips and search his apartment, discovering Linda Shaw's ring and her being compromised by the Drug Network.
@SirAlaska
Bro I felt that "Linda Purcell?" "No, a different Linda." in my bones. That moment where you think it's actually all coming together but then it just keeps going
@chineseobama6043
All we need is the blaring music making everything they say inaudible and it'd be spot on
@shazwansith4604
This video felt like it lasted far longer than 3 minutes.
@trtx84
"Linda... Linda Purcell. The wife!" He was so sure he had finally caught on.
@gregandrou
"An elephant that has the nuclear codes carved on its tusks" That's a film by itself
@RK-lq2ud
"Are you aware of the Back-twisting-spacial-ribbon-gravitational-force?" "yes, but it's just a theory" "until last Friday"
@breakfastepiphaniesband
It’s embarrassing how far into this I would have still watched the movie.
@ProbablyNotARobot
“The plane crash didn’t happen, rather it will but it won’t yet.” I lost it so hard at that line 😂
