The scene also harbored the filmmaker\u2019s larger ambition to bring that kind of temporal narrative style into the blockbuster arena for the movie that would become <em>Tenet<\/em>.<span id=\"more-650447\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you somehow haven\u2019t seen <em>Memento<\/em>, you should fix that im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely. But for the uninitiated, here\u2019s the opening:<br \/>\n<!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post --><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"memento opening\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WHhlTXyBxPM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Memento<\/em> tells its story backwards chronologically to reveal the full scope of the mystery at its center.\u00a0<em>Tenet<\/em> utilizes that concept by having the characters navigate our world in a way that allows them to actually move backwards (and forwards) through time. The scene above is the perfect predecessor for how some of the major action sequences in <em>Tenet<\/em> would unfold, and it turns out Nolan thought about that while he was shooting the movie over 20 years ago. The director explained to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/pop-culture\/2020\/12\/christopher-nolan-tenet-interview\">Complex<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI had this notion of just a bullet getting sucked out of the wall and into the barrel of a gun. It\u2019s an image that I had in <em>Memento<\/em>\u00a0to demonstrate the structure of that movie, but I always harbored this ambition to make a film where the characters had to deal with the physical reality of that. In a way, an idea comes to the fore when the time is right for it, and it\u2019s a hard process to quantify, so I was doing all these other things.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The reverse shot of a bullet flying back into a gun is a cornerstone in the action of <em>Tenet<\/em>. It even helps clear up some of the exposition of how time inversion works, prompting a <em>Matrix<\/em>-like \u201cwhoa\u201d from <strong>John David Washington<\/strong> as the film\u2019s unnamed protagonist.<\/p>\n<p><em>Memento<\/em> isn\u2019t the only movie that laid the groundwork for Nolan\u2019s ability to finally bring <em>Tenet<\/em> to life. Though he didn\u2019t mention any specific scenes from his filmography that helped prepare him to shoot this elaborate blockbuster, he acknowledged that everything he\u2019s done on film in the past informed his work on <em>Tenet<\/em>. Nolan added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><!-- SlashFilm_300x250_In_Post_2 -->\u201cThere are things that you learn how to make, and everything in <em>Tenet<\/em>, interestingly, on the surface of it, they\u2019re all versions of action or particular ways of filming things that I\u2019ve tried before in a different form. You\u2019re building on what you\u2019ve done in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That last bit is rather poetic since, in many ways, <em>Tenet<\/em> is also about building on what has been done in the past, albeit in a much more complicated fashion. We\u2019d expect nothing less from Nolan.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tenet<\/em> is available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and digital now.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            <!-- \/post -->\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
