@@sowsomelonesomecorner I'm ngl I was so hyped for this movie, especially after seeing the prologue preview, but the overall movie wasn't as impressive. I feel like nolan could've done better and shouldn't have made it so convoluted.
@Xeino pretty sure in this case the soundtrack was actually made at the same time as the movie itself. Ludwig Göransson composed the soundtrack based on what he read in the script and based on conversations with Christopher Nolan
@Xeino I guess that makes more sense. From what I had heard he had already made the soundtrack based on the script, which was a bit questionable to me as well because in that case Christopher Nolan would have to sync the movie to the music while editing (which has been done before in movies like Baby Driver where they picked the entire soundtrack before filming anything, but there’s no good reason to do that for a movie like Tenet). But it seems to me that a good amount of work had already been done on the soundtrack before filming Tenet and then they probably worked on the actual composition itself after editing the movie
@Xeino apparently they mention something like that in the Behind The Scenes. Haven’t seen it but I heard that Ludwig Göransson did make at least some of the music before and during filming. Ludwig would be there on the set during filming as well. I don’t really know the details to be honest but this is basically what I heard about the Behind The Scenes. JackHoward mentions it in his last video on Tenet, he got paid to make the video to help promote the Blu-Ray DVD release
@Xeino Ludwig wrote stuff before they started shooting. This piece in particular was written very early on and a small part of it was used in the teaser. They probably used his suite and chopped it up / edited to it then he did another pass at to picture to make sure everything flows better. So lots of music was written without picture but then gets re-written or conformed to picture.
After Michael Mann, Nolan is the one director I see who takes care of the gunshot sounds. I remember The Dark Knight opening heist had realistic gun shots too, especially when their shooting inside the bank.
This scene is loosely based/inspired off of the Moscow theatre hostage crisis in 2002, but the current situation in Moscow now is what brought me here, too.
I love the way that Chris Nolan starts all of his movies with a bang. Who gives a shit about establishing where we are or who everyone is? Let's just let the story unfold and let the audience pick it up along the way.
Facts, everyone who didn’t like it just wasn’t paying enough attention during the movie. So much of the fun was piecing together the story yourself with each new scene
This is probably one of best action intros i’ve seen. The soundtrack perfectly syncs and compliments every moment of this scene. Especially the running through stairs transition, even non soundtrack nerds would be amazed.
4:12 This part where he gets the part of the algorithm and runs along the hallway is my favourite moment of this scene .... It feels so realistic. He's not running like a superhero . He runs like a normal person who's sprinting at maximum speed . That combined with the music gave me chills in the theatre. So great!
@@mustafakarim7876 No people doesn't enjoy it because people don't care for the characters. People care for the character Leonardo plays in Inception, therefore even if the plot is hard to understand people still try to figure the plot out. Stop blaming people for not understanding the "complex plot". It's a weak argument. I agree, the film is great for other directors' standard. But for Nolan's, it a meh.
Doesn't even have to be an FPS. Can you imagine a platformer where you fall into a pit with no way out, and then a ladder falls out of nowhere and you can then finish the level, only to realise you now need to invert yourself and go bring the ladder over to the pit to help yourself out? Madness
@@dimadmitrievich6455 boy do I have a movie for you lol watch baby driver it’s literally based on the entire concept of having the music mixed into the scene obviously not as intense and epic as Nolan did here but Nolan only did it for a scene or two that movie is based entirely on the fact it’s music mania
This whole scene is just a masterpiece that is shot phenomenaly, but this is the best part 1:53 to 2:45 due to the amazing score and the atmosphere it creates and, the tension it builds up. This is the best soundtrack that I've ever heard in a opening scene of a movie!
That's Ludwig Göransson for you. I'm glad they chose him cause I really don't see Hans Zimmer fitting in this movie tbh. Hans does a more classical take while Göransson does a modern take. Soundtrack was FIRE!!!
This movie might not be the most popular film among Nolan's other outstanding masterpieces, but the score and action of this scene is undeniably amazing❤
Well actually 2002 is still more accurate as there they used gas, like in this scene in order to take out the terrorists. Also like here, in 2002 the terrorists didn't start to shoot the ppl in cold blood
right?!! people don't realise this enough. and Nolan does some good squats sorry l mean swats. l'm definitely stealing his style in my animated short. you gotta steal from the best right? so l'm stealing Nolan and james cameron.. with a hint of Zack Snyder

I knew this film would be amazing when they started running towards the stairs after having pumped the gas into the hall. The drums are so incredibly loud when you are in an IMAX theatre. It is a feeling that just cannot be recreated. Thank you for this masterpiece of a movie Nolan. The fact that this is only my 4th or 5th favourite movie of yours is baffling.

@@aryastark772 I wouldn't necessarily call it a bad thing if a film is confusing. Yes, Tenet is absolutely overwhelming on a first viewing, and hell, also the second or third. The concept of time moving in two directions at the same time is just something human beings can't quite grasp no matter how hard we try. But you don't really habe to understand it. When I watch tenet I enjoy the atmosphere this movie creates and those incredible images that I have not seen anywhere else and that can't be seen anywhere else, because they are specific to this movie and it's concept and took a huge amount of effort to pull off. And you see that effort on screen. I love this movie, eventhough it melts my brain. I do understand people who do not like it though, it is hard if not impossible to wrap one's head around.
1:02 that's a protagonist look and some protagonist score right there 4:11 from the music to the camera work and to JDW's running posture. Just incredible. I just wanna see that part in IMAX over and over again!!!
@@hectorfernandez-tenet I think he's talking about the Freeport scene where he's fighting himself. But in the first time you see it you don't know it's himself, and the "masked man" disarms the pistol
The syncing of music to build atmosphere in each segment of this scene is second to none. Incredible attention to detail and the highest level of filmmaking.
This movie was the prime definition of Oscar Snub. Idk about win, but sure should've been nominated for: Best Movie, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Music, Best Editing. Damn this was a Masterpiece. (Glad it got for visual effects)
Christopher Nolan wanted to make sure that the audience understood this movie was about people being able to reverse the passage of time. To do this, he filmed the attacks in the Crocus City Hall 3 years before they actually happened.

An unending vicious onslaught from beginning to end. A movie that wages total war upon the viewer and the movie will triumph easily. A overwhelming pure sensory experience. I can’t express enough how unique and perfect this movie is. Oozes identity, isn’t afraid to be uncompromising, breaks rules, establishes new tradition. A masterpiece, truly. 10/10
*I am from Ukraine, Kyiv. There is everything true about atmosphere, special forces КОРД and Ukrainian language, which is only one official in Ukraine. So nice see this part, love it! And i like film TENET in general!*
@@NoneOfTheAbove123 Internet says they're the Nation Police of Ukraine. However, here they're dressed and equipped like a tactical team from a NATO member nation.
What I like about Nolan is he truly knows how to create an essence or a vibe. Great job to the director of photography. Having be locations set in Scandinavian countries you get a feeling of “syntheticism” and futurism. I think there’s no other director like Christopher Nolan in terms of bending reality at this point.
At 1:45, I love the small detail of how the actual soldier looks back surprised when the Protagonist gets in line behind him since he didn't recognize him from before, but then he looks back in front and doesn't question it.
Say what u want about this movie as a whole but this was definitely one of the most thrilling and impressive opening sequences I’ve ever seen…especially seeing it in IMAX literally got me shaking
I've never seen an actor embarrassed by the franchise that made him a household name! Literally every press junket promo for Twilight is Rob trolling the movie and his character 😂😂
I personally have seen this film over 20 times now. It gets better and better with every single rewatch. IMO This opening scene is Top 2 in Nolan's filmography, just behind The Dark Knight.
I've heard it. Seems like a reach though, don't you think? It micht be, but there are not a lot of hints to it other than the accent@@trekgreenwood6743
This film is so underrated. Sadly, it wasn't as popular as given due to its release during COVID. However, I'm still really grateful that I was able to see this film twice in theaters during that time safely and help the cinemas find a bright future ahead. Bravo Nolan for creating this awesome blockbuster and John David Washington and Robert Pattison for their incredible performances.
Upon watching this movie multiple times, I’m 99% sure 2:43 is foreshadowing his skills for the turnstile fight in the airport. When he first encounters the inverted soldier (which turns out to be himself from the future) he also field strips a Glock 19 in the same manner, but reversed. Clever.
It definitely is. They cut this part out when they showed the prologue before Star Wars. It looked silly since he just walks in and punches him in that version lol.
It already had happened in Moscow in 2002. So in this particular case movie took its influence from events that had already happened in real life, not the other way around
Technically it's more of a case of history repeating itself but the use of gas in the film makes it more in line with the events of the original attack if anything the recent attack would be more inspired by the mission No Russian from the original Modern Warfare 2
0:30-0:39 I like how the violence scenes in Nolan films are edited: No so graphic, but without losing the rhythm of an action sequence (probably in order to avoid the R rating).
I love how the soundtrack at first is orchestral, but the moment the attack starts and the orchestra is in dissaray the synthesizers kick in, so fucking good
Great upload. I bought the 4K disc and the picture and sound is phenomenal! I still buy physical discs because whether the sound or picture is good or bad it’ll always be consistent. Unlike streaming where quality can vary based on your wireless signal. Support physical media!
I bought the 4k disc, too. Sadly I don’t actually have a 4k player yet. Just watching the standard 1080p bluray on my PS4 and 4K TV and... wow. This is the best picture quality that I’ve ever seen on a 1080p bluray. Now I just want to bought a 4K player LOL
2:21 - It was the first film that we watched after lock-down in the theatre, I had missed going to the films so badly....when that beat hit (IMAX sound beating through you) I couldn't help but be teary eyed....
John David Washington is not only an amazing actor but he is energetic as hell. In some of the action scenes, it looked like other actors and stuntsmen were lagging.

And you see that effort on screen. I love this movie, eventhough it melts my brain. I do understand people who do not like it though, it is hard if not impossible to wrap one's head around.
This movie is sooooo underrated and misunderstood, I love it
2:20 was the best thing in theaters like a shot of adrenaline, especially with your seat vibrating. Amazing
1:02 that's a protagonist look and some protagonist score right there
4:11 from the music to the camera work and to JDW's running posture. Just incredible. I just wanna see that part in IMAX over and over again!!!
I never thought that this scene become real in 2024
holy fuck i came here to watch it the same way, thats nuts!
lol
Same. I also didnt think this movie was gonna become real life
This scene was inspired by an actual event that happened in 2002 (also in Moscow) which is the Moscow opera siege
my thought is same
2:42 he disarms the pistol, first clue about the masked man later on...
Oh yes. I didn't notice that, and I watched movie 3 times already. This is why this movie is so great, Nolan thinks of everything! Good find!
Holy crap. Good catch!
Oh damn!
I dont get it
@@hectorfernandez-tenet I think he's talking about the Freeport scene where he's fighting himself. But in the first time you see it you don't know it's himself, and the "masked man" disarms the pistol
The syncing of music to build atmosphere in each segment of this scene is second to none. Incredible attention to detail and the highest level of filmmaking.
2:33 I love how the beat goes with the two men entering the passage
Watched it ~100 times. That synergy of music and action. The best opening scene in thriller cinema I've ever seen.
I hope it gets shown in IMAX again.
I think I rewatched this scene more than 100 times and also I agree the that this is probably one of the best opening scenes ever.
@@dimadmitrievich6455 согласен, друже
@@detiwluh, wait, I saw you on the 432 hz Tenet soundtrack videos, lol.
@@dimadmitrievich6455 yea Im everywhere. Im a big fan of this film
@@detiwluh, I'm a big fan too.
This movie was the prime definition of Oscar Snub. Idk about win, but sure should've been nominated for:
Best Movie, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Music, Best Editing. Damn this was a Masterpiece. (Glad it got for visual effects)
Christopher Nolan wanted to make sure that the audience understood this movie was about people being able to reverse the passage of time. To do this, he filmed the attacks in the Crocus City Hall 3 years before they actually happened.
What a chad
Huge twist ending I didn’t see coming
I see we're here for the same reason
I liked that this had been inspired by the 2002 theater attack in Moscow with the gas and all.. but history repeats itself :P
The media always shows us what they will do, all we can do is sit back and observe the show fellas, I pray to see you all of us on the other side.
0:19 - The orchestra prepares for the concert
1:00 - Protagonist introduced
1:22 - Alarms blare as protagonist exits the van
1:52 - Gas is released into the building
2:21 - Halway run
This actually happened in real life on 22nd of March 2024, in Moscow.
We do live in a twilight world.
@MS-lk4xc I’m a massive fan of TENET and I had absolutely no idea! Thanks mate!
@@hamzapetridis206well no offense but you generation Z should really educate yourself...more often than not movies happen to take their inspiration from real life events one way or another
@@Balnazzardi I’m not gen Z. It’s just pathetic to start any kind of comments with “you eneration whatever” to be honest. I had just never heard of that prior event, not everyone has knowledge about every single event that ever happened in the history of the world. And it’s not because you learned it sometime this week that you need to pretend you’ve known this all along lmao.
@@hamzapetridis206 well living in Europe and next to Russia i know pretty well about such events that have happened in the past. But ofc it dependa where you are from. Still its ridiculous how ppl these days don't bother to even check that perhaps the movie took its "inspiration" to this scene about some event that happened in the past
@@BalnazzardiYoUr GeNeRaTiOn ShOu- no one cares, let the man enjoy a new fact he's never heard...
Man, this scene it too good. I saw this in IMAX 4 times and my god the sound was incredible
Saw it in Dolby cinema 3 times lol
DAT DROP BEAT!!!!....nothing Will ever top that feeling again...maybe the BEST sorround equip...
Was it more of an intense experience compared to Dunkirk in IMAX?
@@EndoV2 my opinion, it is Nolan’s best movie overall
DAMR dam dude there was literally no IMAX theaters open near me so I missed out :/ but Dunkirk was still epic tho!
An unending vicious onslaught from beginning to end. A movie that wages total war upon the viewer and the movie will triumph easily. A overwhelming pure sensory experience. I can’t express enough how unique and perfect this movie is. Oozes identity, isn’t afraid to be uncompromising, breaks rules, establishes new tradition. A masterpiece, truly. 10/10
Very very experimental film at such a big budget
Well said, Garen. Fingers crossed for a sequel. A trilogy would be amazing.
*I am from Ukraine, Kyiv. There is everything true about atmosphere, special forces КОРД and Ukrainian language, which is only one official in Ukraine. So nice see this part, love it! And i like film TENET in general!*
If you were inpressed that means the production did a very good job. The opera siege was filmed at the Linahall in Tallinn, Estonia.
Hey, can you tell me what is this KOPA? Are they special forces?
@@NoneOfTheAbove123 Internet says they're the Nation Police of Ukraine. However, here they're dressed and equipped like a tactical team from a NATO member nation.
@@NoneOfTheAbove123, it's КОРД not КОРА, and they are the Ukrainian SWAT.
@@dimadmitrievich6455 Translated to English: Rapid Operational Response Unit (KORD)
What I like about Nolan is he truly knows how to create an essence or a vibe. Great job to the director of photography. Having be locations set in Scandinavian countries you get a feeling of “syntheticism” and futurism. I think there’s no other director like Christopher Nolan in terms of bending reality at this point.
With an exception to the wachowski sisters
I totally agree!
2:23 and 4:11 something about these running scenes just gives me chills, amazing opening to a movie.
Both these run ups had such high Bass......I watched this movie 4 times in IMAX.....want to watch it again
At 1:45, I love the small detail of how the actual soldier looks back surprised when the Protagonist gets in line behind him since he didn't recognize him from before, but then he looks back in front and doesn't question it.
Say what u want about this movie as a whole but this was definitely one of the most thrilling and impressive opening sequences I’ve ever seen…especially seeing it in IMAX literally got me shaking
I had to watch this movie multiple times to fully appreciate it. This is definitely one of Nolan's more daring projects.
*We live in a twighlight world*
Pattinson: imma pretend i didnt hear that
pretty sure it's an easter egg dedicated to Robert
I've never seen an actor embarrassed by the franchise that made him a household name! Literally every press junket promo for Twilight is Rob trolling the movie and his character 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I personally have seen this film over 20 times now. It gets better and better with every single rewatch. IMO This opening scene is Top 2 in Nolan's filmography, just behind The Dark Knight.
I am closing in on 20 times as well. What’s your take on the “Max is Neil” theory?
@@DaveRevst4548 Yeah it’s legit IMO. It only makes sense.
I've heard it. Seems like a reach though, don't you think? It micht be, but there are not a lot of hints to it other than the accent@@trekgreenwood6743
Question; if he's the protagonist, why was it necessary for Neil to step in & save him in this scene. My apologies.
This film is so underrated. Sadly, it wasn't as popular as given due to its release during COVID. However, I'm still really grateful that I was able to see this film twice in theaters during that time safely and help the cinemas find a bright future ahead. Bravo Nolan for creating this awesome blockbuster and John David Washington and Robert Pattison for their incredible performances.
When he racks the gun and then leans forward in synchronization with the other guy is just so fucking cool looking
"Wake up the Americans" no rest for the wicked these guys were ready to kick doors from the start.
Yea that was a cool as shot, You knew some shit was about to go down.
I just love how the music goes in a very different direction at 2:23. Just like the team.
ouu!! can you explain me your comment?
One of the most brilliant blockbusters ive ever seen in my life without much cgi. Masterpiece.
no CGI at all actually
@@Ooog__ There was some but a minimal amount.
Cause that Nolan film
Over a year later and this opening is still one of the best ive ever seen in a movie before
2:28 me on my way to watch Tenet for the fifth time now
Protagonist: "We live in a Twilight World"
Cullen: "Yes we do!"
Man, this film is underrated, at the time i didn't like that much but now i'm enjoying more each time i watch.
This movie is demanding of its audience, but if you pay attention it is truly rewarding. It oozes coolness. My fave Nolan movie.
Tenet is ahead of its time ❤
"We live in a twilight world"
Those gunshots were goddamn loud in IMAX
Made the film so much more immersive. Felt like you were actually there.
@Lucas Wegnez yeah, gave me a crazy headache
It was awesome
When I saw Dunkirk in IMAX, my ears were ringing
Richard Cao, I saw you on the Meeting Priya 4k UHD video! Nice seeing you again.
I love every frame.
Nolan + IMAX = pure masterpiece.
Upon watching this movie multiple times, I’m 99% sure 2:43 is foreshadowing his skills for the turnstile fight in the airport. When he first encounters the inverted soldier (which turns out to be himself from the future) he also field strips a Glock 19 in the same manner, but reversed. Clever.
Wow, I never thought about it like that, maybe you are right and this is foreshadowing.
It definitely is. They cut this part out when they showed the prologue before Star Wars. It looked silly since he just walks in and punches him in that version lol.
@@IvanaGiznya I saw it before seeing ROS opening day too, got me so hyped for this film! Didn’t notice they cut it out, cool detail.
just like how neil helped him open the lock at the port and then later on opened the lock at the end
I hope they find a way to put this beauty back to theaters!
When I heard the news I instantly thought of this💀
What news?
Nolan traveled to the future to give us this
Nope, just took inspiration of what had already happened in Moscow in 2002. History simply repeated itself
@@Balnazzardi damn
When The protagonist is introduced, an he has this laidback stare. Geees the most epic and badass charactrr introduction in a film. Hands down
Who's here after the Crocus City Hall attack in Moscow, Russia??
Yeah. It was really fun to watch the footages made by attackers.
It appears this scene predicted a real life event.
It already depicted a real life event. Search on Google
How so?
@@ThePochiGamerPochi622 the terror attack in Moscow, it was an opera house.
It already had happened in Moscow in 2002. So in this particular case movie took its influence from events that had already happened in real life, not the other way around
Technically it's more of a case of history repeating itself but the use of gas in the film makes it more in line with the events of the original attack if anything the recent attack would be more inspired by the mission No Russian from the original Modern Warfare 2
2:22 adrinaline rush🔚
When I run, I usually always put this part on.
YESS
The opera house looks oddly familiar
This fictional Ukrainian opera house doesn't exist, and the layout is completely different to the Crocus hall. Otherwise it's the same.
linnahall
Love that the Opera house scene is a real building in Tallin, The Linnahall. Glad to see that some part of it was filmed in Estonia
This is pure genius ... this scene is probably the best of the movie ...
This one of the best opening sequences ever shot. Praises to Nolan, who knows perfectly how to start a movie.
the intensity and suspense at 2:22 coupled with background music and cinematography is amazing
True, that moment gives me goosebumps every time!
This movie will grow to be more appreciated with time. Hope that helps it recover its cost in the future.
Who come here after Moscow concert hall shooting?
Me
0:30-0:39 I like how the violence scenes in Nolan films are edited: No so graphic, but without losing the rhythm of an action sequence (probably in order to avoid the R rating).
Yes, but I think that tenet would have been better/more awesome with an R rating
@@doncorleole2356 No, the film is perfect as it is with a PG-13 rating.
I love how the soundtrack at first is orchestral, but the moment the attack starts and the orchestra is in dissaray the synthesizers kick in, so fucking good
Great upload. I bought the 4K disc and the picture and sound is phenomenal! I still buy physical discs because whether the sound or picture is good or bad it’ll always be consistent. Unlike streaming where quality can vary based on your wireless signal. Support physical media!
I bought the 4k disc, too. Sadly I don’t actually have a 4k player yet. Just watching the standard 1080p bluray on my PS4 and 4K TV and... wow. This is the best picture quality that I’ve ever seen on a 1080p bluray. Now I just want to bought a 4K player LOL
Yus
I think “Tenet” is the most exciting film in the beginning alone🥶😘
2:21 - It was the first film that we watched after lock-down in the theatre, I had missed going to the films so badly....when that beat hit (IMAX sound beating through you) I couldn't help but be teary eyed....
we all are here after watching news😂😂
Not kiev but moscu
wtf bro when I saw the news I immediately thought of this scene
same bro
Same
Same
John David Washington is not only an amazing actor but he is energetic as hell. In some of the action scenes, it looked like other actors and stuntsmen were lagging.
This movie deserves so much more credit, I want a re release in theaters!
This movie released 50 years ,head of common man understanding
The cut at 2:12 where you watch the guy (through the window) throwing something and it cuts to the other dude catching it - perfect editing
On spot
