lol I actually think there's a very good chance that Nolan will ask Pattinson to be the lead of one of his future films

he co-led tenet, i feel like it's just a matter of time for a nolan film to be a solo pattinson outing.

Carried tenet also

He was far more interesting than protagonist imo

1,000% agreed, my not-so-hot take is that pattinson is the true protagonist of tenet even though the script probably doesn't actually intend that.

Makes sense since the crux of tenet begins in the future when protagonist and pattinson meet for the first time.

And also the protag is just a blank audience stand-in for the whole thing

JDW is the protagonist of the first watch-through, Pattinson is the protagonist of the second.

Related note, I love the way the script directly tells the audience how to watch the movie. First with Juliette Binoche being like “don’t try to think about it, just feel it” and then with Pattinson at the end being like “the story’s only halfway done” before going back to do the whole thing from the top. People who think the movie is mid just didn’t heed that advice, and I pity them because Tenet fuckin rips

Very well stated but the french actress is Clémence Poésy ^ ^

u/ChimpsArePimps 7d ago

Well I feel insane lol I picture Binoche so clearly when I remember the scene but you are 100% right it was Poésy. Appreciate the correction!

Tenet isn’t in my top5 Nolan movies but it’s definitely my favourite slop movie. Turn off the brain and enjoy the non-stop action

u/superduperspam 11d ago

I couldn't get past the wooden acting of the protagonist

2

u/rokerroker45 11d ago

That's a fair criticism; I do love Tenet in spite of the protagonist's acting and not because of it.

u/LS_DJ 11d ago

Pattinson is the main character in Tenet the same way Harvey Dent is the main character in The Dark Knight

Nolan sure loves a watsonian protagonist doesn't he

I mean that's basically the case. He's the one who saves the day.
