It's not confusing, just not explained (hurr durr it wobbled). I'm guessing the searches are for "(movie name) ending explained" which you could have various reasons for searching
Is it as bad as Interstellar? I started watching that but just shut it off because the audio was so bad. I haven't watched Tenet yet but if it's as bad as Interstellar I won't bother.
Nolan's sound mixing is fricking awful in all his movies it's a well known fact that people give him a free pass on when it's one of many lazy aspects to his filmmaking.
>I found Inception easy to follow but watching Tenet I didn't really get what was happening through most of the climax.
Yeah, since its shit.
You cant hear or understand half the dialogue since music is too loud.
It makes sense in some scenes like the magazine museum one where nobody cares about whats there, but when its important shit it ruins the movie.
Also it completely fails to explain who the enemy faction is, entire movie they fight "someone" from the future, but we know nothing about them, like at some fricking point somone should ask "wait, who are the bad guys again?" instead the movie just glosses over it, like we are supposed to only care about the action.
Didn't see it at the cinema, but they do explain. Essentially the bad guys are people from the future trying to recover parts of a doomsday weapon that will reverse the entropy of everything (which is basically the end of the world) But they believe it will cause a split where the planet will improve (future earth is fricked) and time will continue and the past will frick off and die.
They find an ally (Sator) who is going to die from cancer, in the past by sending time capsules back with gold and information to fund his efforts to locate the pieces, bury them in the same spot, and when he offs himself send out the coordinates to its location, so that in the future they can dig it up and set it off.
Tenet is a group founded by people in the future who oppose this plan thinking that it would just end everything and there will be no split.
>Also it completely fails to explain who the enemy faction is, entire movie they fight "someone" from the future, but we know nothing about them, like at some fricking point somone should ask "wait, who are the bad guys again?" instead the movie just glosses over it, like we are supposed to only care about the action.
That's the point of the movie, who is "good guy" vs "bad guy" at the end look identical just with different armbands.
I self tricked myself into rewatching it a few time thinking there would be more good to find, but it's a fricking slop mess of a film with boring characters nobody could give a frick about. Pattinson is the only one worth watching but he can't save it from being a super pretentious B grade Bond flick at best.
Movies are only confusing if they are so uninteresting that people don't pay attention. It's like trigonometry or quantum physics. You have to be interested and care to learn that shit. If Nolan made better movies, people might pay attention to his convoluted plots.
The only people who hate it are people who already hate Nolan and zoomers who didn't understand it because they half-watched the movie while on their phones. It's a good movie.
I liked it, but i can understand if you're a moron/not paying attention you would get lost easily. Or if you were deaf since there were some sections of dialog that was a little bit quiet compared to the music.
Tenet isn't confusing, but it is incredibly boring. None of the characters have an interesting bone in their bodies and while I do like Debicki, her character is irredeemably stupid.
Goose is capable of expressing emotion with his body language even when he's playing a stoic character. That's why he is chosen to play those kinds of roles
Shutter Island is not the least bit confusing. It's a fairly straight forward movie. Inception is a film you have to pay attention to or you will quickly lose track of what's going on, but I don't really call that "confusing", it's just "involved".
Tenet, though, is confusing. Similar to Inception, it is a film where if you don't pay attention you will become lost in its convolutions, except even if you do pay attention you can still lose track of what's going on because of the relentless pace of the movie.
Yeah but Inland Empire is the only one with shit that isn’t even from the script he actually made, like the bunnies stuff. Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway are more confusing since they feel like real stories you can solve if you try.
shutter island was confusing?
Or is it just women who don't pay attention to the film at all, then suddenly ask "Wait what happen?" when the final twist is revealed.
Imagine if Nolan and Tarantino linked up to make some kino.. he would fix that.
Nolan directing a Tarantino script would be interesting.
No it wouldn't, Nolan is an autist who can't do any intentional comedy or anything off keel in the slightest and you want him to direct Tarantino dialogue?
Anyone who says this movie is confusing does not have two functioning brain cells or did not pay attention. It's straightforward and the best time travel movie ever made.
The only one of those that was a bit confusing was Tenet but I got it on a rewatch.
The only movies I had to google afterwards was Mulholland Dr and Lost Highway. They were shit and made to be confusing on purpose
I still have not seen Tenet and do not know what it is about. Whoever wrote the plot synopsis for imdb doesn't seem to know what it's about either which doesn't inspire confidence.
I don't understand how people get confused by these movies. Both Nolan movies are like video games, they literally stop to give you a tutorial on what's happening whenever they introduced a new gameplay element. Either people who are watching aren't paying attention or they're just inherently too dumb to consider a "What if this now worked like this instead" scenario
I have no idea why someone would have thought this was confusing. He dies, all that other shit doesn't happen because he's dead. Cue awesome Tears for Fears music.
What was the point of the overly long intro to 2001? I liked the main movie but was the intro supposed to be artsy and I don't get it?
Did not like Clockwork Orange.
the boring guy and the cool guy are the same guy reconciling with the death of his past and the realization he can never go back. Idk about the spider stuff but I like spiders to the last scene was cool. Guy who made it was probably a homosexual who gets spooked by them so he was like pregnant wife = spider get it??
its not confusing, its just convoluted storytelling
it took me a few rewatches to get that the japanese guy was doing the inception on leo, but thats because its badly written on purpose
do people seriously find these plot driven, expository dialog every 10 minutes, basic 3 act story structure films confusing? What do you think would happen if they watched Possession or Tpyднo быть бoгoм?
>What do you think would happen if they watched Possession or Tpyднo быть бoгoм?
They'd become pretentious homosexuals who use the original language title
actual, final, definitive list in order, that no one can debate (because you’re not cinematically literate enough to debate this): >primer >inland empire >paprika >the double life of veronique >synecdoche, New York >the holy mountain >the end of evangelion
honorable mention to mulholland drive and Donnie darko for being the initiation into the rest of Cinemaphilekino

Remember back when you had more of a selection than "woke staff writes hypocritical Marxist propaganda that's offensive to anyone with a functioning moral compass" and "woke staff writes mediocre by-the-numbers shit that's designed to lack any substance that might offend somebody (including IRL ego-driven villains like the woke staff) because that's the best that a woke staff can do"?
part of what made Tenet confusing to me is the audio. The dialogue is like the same volume as the music or it's too quiet. I don't know what it specifically is, but there is something wrong with the audio in that film.
It's because Nolan thinks he's an auteur and fiddles with the audio when he doesn't know what he's doing. He literally said he crashed a subs guy's computer and the dude told him no one had ever fricked with audio so bad it had done that before and he went:
To be fair, I never understood the ending to Inception.
Everyone says the ending is open-ended, but they literally show the thing wobble in the last second
Same. Nolan himself also says that as a father he likes to think he's in the real world and he made it home. The real point is that he no longer cares and jjst wants his kids back.
Inception is literally not confusing at all. Its just a straight up linear fricking plot where the main characters literally spell out everything that is happening
Inception is not confusing at all.
Neither is Shutter Island. It's literally explained what happened.
Tenet, I still don't have a clue what was going on and why. One of the biggest piles of shit ever.
I've never seen those other 2 movies but there is absolutely nothing confusing about inception, I couldn't tell you what happened in in because I barely fricking remember anything from what I watched in the early 2010s but I was never confused
I think the only thing I am unsure about in my interpretation of a film is if they really were prostituting the patients in Sucker Punch or that was just another layer of delusion
At the moment I lean towards they really were doing it.
The only "confusing" thing in Inception is the implication at the very end
If you think that shutter island was confusing after watching it, then you are a moron
Tenet was confusing due to fricked up pacing which was most likely a result of Nolan's cut being like 6 hours long and producers telling him to frick off and trim it down to 3 hours max
Tenet is more confusing not because of the stupid sci-fi shit but the exposition being constantly dumped about characters instead of anything being shown.
Inception is not confusing. I don't feel it even TRIES to be confusing, it's quite straightforward. I don't understand. Tenet is confusing in how it is told, but Inception is not.
I don't get Inception being called confusing, it's not even set up to be confusing, it's a pretty straight heist film, it just has a dream gimmick it takes place in. They never leave the audience in the dark, they explain all the aspects of how the team operates very clearly.
Tenet I agree with, unlike Inception it felt like it was continuously withholding information from me or being as obtuse as possible and I rarely knew what exactly was happening or why.
Shutter Island's "twist" is literally "he's just a moron, and he wasn't pretending". Gayest fricking movie ever made. Seriously what fricking dogshit.
Schizo is the same as moronic to you ?
the hat machine worked
Absolute brainlets who think Inception was confusing lmaoooo
It's not confusing, just not explained (hurr durr it wobbled). I'm guessing the searches are for "(movie name) ending explained" which you could have various reasons for searching
I had an argument with someone about this a couple of days ago. he said it is confusing and ambiguous because Nolan said so
I found Inception easy to follow but watching Tenet I didn't really get what was happening through most of the climax.
it is shit. unlike any decent detective movie which at least has some diversion or distractions that make everything before the reveal worth watching.
Tenet's audio was so bad in theaters i missed probably 40% of the dialogue and was lost a couple times
Is it as bad as Interstellar? I started watching that but just shut it off because the audio was so bad. I haven't watched Tenet yet but if it's as bad as Interstellar I won't bother.
it's way bad. You need to keep subtitles on as people are wearing gas masks and delivering exposition.
Get actual speakers, morons. I understood the dialog in both interstellar and tenet.
Nolan's sound mixing is fricking awful in all his movies it's a well known fact that people give him a free pass on when it's one of many lazy aspects to his filmmaking.
I only ever watched his movies with dutch subtitles so I never noticed this
>I found Inception easy to follow but watching Tenet I didn't really get what was happening through most of the climax.
Yeah, since its shit.

It's full of paradoxes. Therefore lazy writing
Tenet was a weird movie.Everytime I rewatch it, I remain divided between thinking it was utter shite or a reasonably good film.
Anyone that writes “shite” is a complete homosexual
>writes
are you implying that you think saying it is fine but you also think it's just a weird pronunciation of 'shit'?
I heard they smoke those over there
You should do what I did and simply refuse to see it because the lead was a talentless N…….
The N stands for ‘nepo baby’ of course.
I self tricked myself into rewatching it a few time thinking there would be more good to find, but it's a fricking slop mess of a film with boring characters nobody could give a frick about. Pattinson is the only one worth watching but he can't save it from being a super pretentious B grade Bond flick at best.

I liked Tenet a lot and don't understand the hate it gets here
The only people who hate it are people who already hate Nolan and zoomers who didn't understand it because they half-watched the movie while on their phones. It's a good movie.
Lots of Nolan fans seem to hate it too, when really it was a return to form.
I prefer it to both Dunkirk and Oppenheimer.
Yep it was one of the best time travel movies Ive ever seen. People who didn't like it got IQ filtered hard
Same i liked it too. 6/10 decent watch
I liked it, but i can understand if you're a moron/not paying attention you would get lost easily. Or if you were deaf since there were some sections of dialog that was a little bit quiet compared to the music.
its shitty plus youre brown
I read your post with more emotion than the mc delivered any of his lines.
Tenet isn't confusing, but it is incredibly boring. None of the characters have an interesting bone in their bodies and while I do like Debicki, her character is irredeemably stupid.
>it's ok when gosling does it!
Goose is capable of expressing emotion with his body language even when he's playing a stoic character. That's why he is chosen to play those kinds of roles

how the frick are people still confused about inception? they go 2 dreams deep at best
yeah even with all the exposition people still google the ending explained.
I don't care enough about Tenet to understand it, I didn't have that problem with Inception or Shutter Island
post actual confusing kino
By far the most confusing movie ever
I don’t think this movie even has a coherent structure I think Lynch just combined a bunch of random shit he filmed and called it a movie
ie every Lynch movie.
straight story/elephant man are simple to follow for anyone.
Yeah but Inland Empire is the only one with shit that isn’t even from the script he actually made, like the bunnies stuff. Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway are more confusing since they feel like real stories you can solve if you try.
Blue Velvet is very straightforward.
shutter island was confusing?
Or is it just women who don't pay attention to the film at all, then suddenly ask "Wait what happen?" when the final twist is revealed.
yeah, I got lost in the final 30 minutes. The lighting was also not proper for the night scenes.
The entire budget was $7K.
No it wouldn't, Nolan is an autist who can't do any intentional comedy or anything off keel in the slightest and you want him to direct Tarantino dialogue?
Was gonna post this. The already confusing time travel stuff is made even more confusing by how mumbly the dialogue is.
There we go.
Upstream Color is way more confusing than Primer tbqh
Anyone who says this movie is confusing does not have two functioning brain cells or did not pay attention. It's straightforward and the best time travel movie ever made.
>best time travel movie ever made
that's debatable
I remember not being confused by this at all but I don't remember the exact plot.
Inception, Tenet or Primer aren't confusing. If you want to, if you're autistic, you can check charts like
to fully understand timelines. But it's absolutely optional, if you don't understand the movie and the stakes on the first watch you might be moronic.
I fell asleep trying to watch this movie on 3 separate occasions and just gave up. That's not something that usually happens to me.
I still have no idea what the frick was going on in Enemy
Nolan deserves the right to sniff his own farts. I kneel.
why? he can't even write decent dialogue these days.
Imagine if Nolan and Tarantino linked up to make some kino.. he would fix that.
Nolan directing a Tarantino script would be interesting.
The only one of those that was a bit confusing was Tenet but I got it on a rewatch.
The only movies I had to google afterwards was Mulholland Dr and Lost Highway. They were shit and made to be confusing on purpose
Yeah, Mulholland drive was a movie where I had to google what's going on. I think I also had to do it for Donnie Darko
I’ll as lost highway to that as well
Mulholland drive is only confusing until the twist reveal. After that I cannot phantom anyone not getting what's happening unless they are morons
Nah Mulholland Drive is even more confusing after the twist as none of the real world sections make any sense as they are so vague
i hate movie longer than 2 hours
The original untouched version of Its a mad mad mad mad world was 202 minutes.
I still have not seen Tenet and do not know what it is about. Whoever wrote the plot synopsis for imdb doesn't seem to know what it's about either which doesn't inspire confidence.
marge moment
>actual most confusing film of all time
only movie I've ever seen where I legitimately could not tell what the behavior of the actors on the screen was attempting to convey
For me it's Ocean's Eleven (2001)
ingrid goes west
Everything Everywhere All At Once
I don't understand how people get confused by these movies. Both Nolan movies are like video games, they literally stop to give you a tutorial on what's happening whenever they introduced a new gameplay element.

I have no idea why someone would have thought this was confusing. He dies, all that other shit doesn't happen because he's dead. Cue awesome Tears for Fears music.
The director’s cut is confusing, intentionally so. It’s a very different movie.
2001 is a pretty linear storyline, is there a chance that you are just a moron?
What was the point of the overly long intro to 2001? I liked the main movie but was the intro supposed to be artsy and I don't get it?
Did not like Clockwork Orange.
>What was the point of the overly long intro to 2001?
It's called Dawn of Man.
Superficially yes but it's very rich in themes and symbolism that fly over many people's head
Is this good? I started it but the shit video quality made me feel like I was watching some student art film rather than Lynchkino.
Not a single non anglo movie, either you're a pleb or cinema only exists in the anglosphere
Enemy.
the boring guy and the cool guy are the same guy reconciling with the death of his past and the realization he can never go back. Idk about the spider stuff but I like spiders to the last scene was cool. Guy who made it was probably a homosexual who gets spooked by them so he was like pregnant wife = spider get it??
Unironically what is confusing about inception?
There are people out there who, to this day, don't understand the whole movie was a Shakespearean reference: A dream within a dream.
its not confusing, its just convoluted storytelling
it took me a few rewatches to get that the japanese guy was doing the inception on leo, but thats because its badly written on purpose
>the japanese guy was doing the inception on leo
What? Is that real or like a fan theory?
It involves basic recursive thought which I read is difficult for low iq people in a green text once, but I believe it.
do people seriously find these plot driven, expository dialog every 10 minutes, basic 3 act story structure films confusing? What do you think would happen if they watched Possession or Tpyднo быть бoгoм?

Would you rather I typed Trudno byt' bogom?
How about you type "Hard to Be a God"?
tenet is easy to understand can't people into basic moron physics?
Inland Empire. Synecdoche New York was also extremely confusing.

Room temp iq filter if you couldn't follow inception or shutter island. Tenet was just plan stupid.
The only confusing thing about Tenet is who the frick thought John David Washington was a good casting choice.
>who the frick thought John David Washington was a good casting choice.
Larry Fink.
what's wrong with that?

Inception is not even Nolan's most confusing movie
Nolan movies are impossible to understand.
Not because of the plot but because of the bad sound mixing.
Inception is not confusing. I don't feel it even TRIES to be confusing, it's quite straightforward. I don't understand. Tenet is confusing in how it is told, but Inception is not.
Zerkalo, inland empire, holy motors
I don't get Inception being called confusing, it's not even set up to be confusing, it's a pretty straight heist film, it just has a dream gimmick it takes place in. They never leave the audience in the dark, they explain all the aspects of how the team operates very clearly.
Nolan fanboys are simply dumb, I swear.
No Lynch films?
tbf Tenet at #2 is completely justified
what a fricking mess that was.
Tenet I agree with, unlike Inception it felt like it was continuously withholding information from me or being as obtuse as possible and I rarely knew what exactly was happening or why.
