What does the title of Christopher Nolan’s Tenet mean? The film’s official trailer provides an answer, at least for specific characters.
\nThe official Tenet trailer confirms what the movie’s title means – it\u2019s a codeword. As for Tenet\u2019s central mystery, well, that\u2019s another story as the trailer teases a threat that\u2019s \u201cmuch worse\u201d than a World War III nuclear holocaust. The key to the unlocking the story’s central mystery seemingly correlates with the use of \u201cTenet\u201d in social situations.
\nTenet marks the 11th movie for Christopher Nolan, who has not only made iconic actions films (The Dark Knight trilogy, Dunkirk) but also complex psychological thrillers that focus heavily on memory and cognitive dissonance. The 2000 neo-noir Memento follows a man with short-term memory, and the 2010 hit Inception is fundamentally about the human subconscious. In Tenet, John David Washington\u2019s character – maybe a soldier, maybe a spy – proves to be a valuable asset for underground organizations, as he passes tests with flying colors and tries to learn what exactly he\u2019s needed for. It turns out that he\u2019s trying to protect planet Earth, but from whom, and why? The work becomes especially challenging for Washington\u2019s character when he learns that he can\u2019t necessarily \u201cunderstand\u201d the world he\u2019s living in, but rather must \u201cfeel it.\u201d\n<\/div>\n
