The third stage (the first 2 stages are at the back)
Arebo's Secret
I mentioned in the last issue that the protagonist saw Neil for the first time, and Neil asked the protagonist, "Will you threaten women and children?" In fact, I have a more brainy "over-interpretation" of this sentence.
Perhaps, is it possible that Alebo is also a member of the creed organization. It is the future protagonist who arranges Alebo to return to the past and approach Kate, threatening Kate and her son, so that the whole thing will develop in the direction set by the future protagonist. Therefore, at the end of the film, the future protagonist insists on protecting the safety of Kate and her son, because from beginning to end, Kate is also the pawn of the future protagonist, but Kate and her son are innocent victims.
Part of the reason why Alebo can be so close to Kate may be that in the future, the protagonist can share the impression of knowing Kate with Alebo, so that Kate and Alebo can be blue-faced confidants for a certain period of time. So Alebo is, to some extent, the projection of the protagonist in the future.
In that piece of Pompeii stele, only Sato and Alebo are the names of people. In the whole film, where there are only names, why is it so important that there are names in the five words of the stele? One is the name of the villain, shouldn't the other name be the protagonist? Remember that the protagonist does not have a name in the film? Perhaps the Arebo who is close to Kate just used the protagonist's name to hide his true identity.
Posterity
Before the decisive battle, the protagonist gave Kate a cell phone and left a message to future generations when it was dangerous. Through a message, the protagonist goes retrograde back to the time Kate left a message and saves Kate. I think that the posterity does not only appear at the end, but runs through the whole film. The posterity represents the creed organization of the future. The protagonist swallows the suicide pill shortly after the beginning, and the camera cuts directly to waking up on the boat, and the story in the middle is omitted. Perhaps it was the emergence of the Creed Organization (descendants), which completed the rescue of the protagonist, planted teeth, sent them to the ship, and waited for their awakening.
When the protagonist of the car chase and Neil encounter a gun battle, Neil calls "rescue soldiers". The rescuers here are the creed soldiers led by the bearded male officer. They are rescued when the protagonist is almost killed by Sato, which is not bad. After the protagonist reversed and returned to a drag racing accident, he woke up directly, and Neil told him that the people of the creed organization rescued him.
As mentioned above, we can all understand that future generations knew in advance and rescued the protagonist. Neil used an inverse rotor to save the protagonist in the opera house. Neil is also a descendant. In Neal's ending words, all events are time-clamp tactics arranged by the protagonist in the future, and later generations have infiltrated this closed-loop timeline silently, directly or indirectly.
Nolan's deep expression
Many of my friends who have read "Creed" sum up the word "DUCK don't have to". "Creed" deliberately weaves complex narrative lines and overly explanatory dialogues, but the result still leaves the audience's brains confused. The most deadly may be that the characters are reduced to tool people on the surface, and it is difficult for the audience to generate empathy. These are all correct, but they cannot be used as a label that "Creed" is a failed work.
Whether you watch a movie to be able to understand it, or to see how it uses a more revolutionary approach to interpret the story, it is clear that "Creed" can not achieve the feeling of traditional movies. How many people can tell you to watch it again Can be comfortable. When watching "Creed", I think more about Nolan's why. If the story of "Creed" is filmed with traditional methods, will it be more successful or less interesting than what we see now. "Creed" should be the most Nolan film in Nolan's current works. It has a very personal authorship, so naturally people who like it will like it twice, and those who don't love get sleepy in the middle. It is a fact that "Creed" will not be Nolan's best film, but it is not a disappointing film, at least not for me.
Nolan hopes to put his knowledge and innovation in film in the "creed", from which I can also appreciate Nolan's greater ambition to deconstruct the film itself. Promoting the role of catalytic empathy between the character and the audience has never been Nolan’s strong point. It must be admitted that "Interstellar" is Nolan's best one, and the emotional power of the "Creed" character is buried in overload. Of various reversal events.
However, if you look carefully, the characters in Nolan's works are all behind the glorious scientific achievement theory of mankind, and they have paid the price of personal tragedy.
These descendants in "Creed" turn from red to blue, walk in retrograde time that does not belong to them, go back to the past, and save the world, but in the end this blue timeline will be buried in the positive torrent of history, the creed The same is true for organizations (descendants), forgotten by the world. Neil in the future meets the protagonist in the past again. Neil saves the protagonist twice. Those who are invisible are protected more. Neil in the future is the protector of the protagonist in the past.
And perhaps in the future of the protagonist, the protagonist becomes Neal's protector. At the end of Neal, it was said that for him, the time spent with the protagonist was the end of a beautiful friendship. Neil used the word end. If Neil did not know whether he would die this time, why did he end it with friendship? What can explain is that the future protagonist has passed away before Neil retrograde or set off. But just like the ending protagonist will not tell Neil that he will die, nor will Neil tell the protagonist that he will die in the future. As long as the task can be completed, the sacrifice of these unknown little people is nothing. The same goes for an Indian woman. Although she has no grudges against Kate, she believes in the rules of the creed and wants to be more securely locked in the secrets of the computer, but is blocked by the protagonist. The protagonist reveals her identity as the founder of the creed, and the Indian woman suddenly realizes I am not the top leader of the creed organization, which also means I have to die, but Indian women have no fear. In my opinion, Indian women can be regarded as a glorious sacrifice.
This leads to why the protagonist insisted on letting Kate survive. My personal understanding is that Kate represents the outsider who remembers these unknown soldiers. Even if the world does not know, Kate knows that Kate may also tell her children in the future. , His children’s grand meeting continued to sing this legend to future generations. There was once such a group of descendants who came back retrogradely to save the world, even though they did not have a name. At the end of the film, Kate wore blue-toned clothes, and her son Max wore red clothes, which also hinted at the red and blue of the reversal door, symbolizing the creed organization that pioneered the time-clamping tactics of the whole movie.
Seeing here, if everyone thinks that the sacrifice of the character is the tragedy that Nolan wants to express, it is actually not comprehensive. The greater pessimistic philosophy of "Creed" is that the members of the creed organization know the existence of fate. Fatalism is an extremely pessimistic theory, ranging from the birth to the destruction of the universe, to the life of a person, it is destined. The concept of time in the film is quantified and split. Regardless of the past, the present and the future, everything and every action has been fixed.
In the shadow of fatalism, everyone in the film is actually pitiful, even Sato, who is only interpreted badly in the film. Sato, who is suffering from cancer, can only use fake paintings to force Kate and her son not to leave him. From another perspective, we can also see Sato's loneliness and fragility. In terms of ethics and even law, Kate is murdering her husband. Everyone in the film is being threatened by people in the future who cannot be touched or even verified. He believes in his destiny, and becomes distorted and compelled in time. .
Nolan used a lot of events in the film to let us experience the unstoppable fateful tragedy, but is this what Nolan wants to express? Let's look at the opposing lines in the film, "What happened has happened" (representing fate), and "Ignorance is our advantage" (representing truth). And what Neal said at the end, "This is the belief (fate) that this world works, but it's not (we don't act) an excuse to stand by." After the protagonist asks Neal, what do you believe in, Neal answers "reality" .
Through the fearless actions of the characters, I can better understand that even if the characters are clear about their destiny, they still think about trying to achieve the creed and meaning they insist on, believing what they believe, and guarding what they are willing to guard, even if All this is destined. As Neil said at the end, you can define "fate" as you like , but I call it "reality". Living in the present is more important than anything else.
The receptionists in "Westworld" have always pursued free will and get rid of their own predestined programs, but more importantly, they may be "a sense of reality."
Whether free will really exists is a philosophical proposition, but the real living "reality" is an inalienable experience. If our universe and the world are arranged, and our destiny has already been written into a book, would you like to turn to the last page to see the ending, or maintain the "advantage of ignorance", live the present and experience reality?
Q & A
Q: Does the protagonist recruit Neil in the future, or reverse the past to recruit Neil? good question. I wanted to put Neal’s hottest question as Kate’s son first, but I had to solve this problem first. Regarding whether the protagonist reverted to the past to recruit Neil or recruited Neil in the future, Nolan did not give a 100% answer to the rigorous analysis. Both claims have their own contradictions in the film. Because Neil is a popular discussion premise for Kate’s son, everyone is more willing to believe that the protagonist will know and recruit Neil in the future, but whether Neil is Kate’s son or not is actually not the standard answer. Since the premise is unfounded, The conclusion is naturally untenable.
Let’s first look at what the retrogrades say. The retrogrades believe that the protagonist goes retrograde back to the past to meet the younger Neil, then recruits Neal and establishes a creed organization, and spends a good time with Neal, and then Neal follows the protagonist’s instructions. Go to the opera house to save the past protagonist, and then go to India to meet the past protagonist. The evidence of the retrograde argument is the ending Neil said to the protagonist. Neal said: You (the protagonist) have a future in the past, which is many years ago for me and many years later for you. This sentence indicates that the protagonist goes retrograde back to the past to recruit Neil, which also saves Neil’s retrograde journey back to the past for many years.
But the contradiction is that when the protagonist went to the Indian woman for the third time, the Indian woman had the last two lines with the protagonist, saying: "The creed organization is established in the future, not in the past." So if you follow the film's The logic of the lines, the protagonist does establish a creed organization in the future, and then goes retrograde for many years to return to the past, in order to recruit Neil, so the establishment of the creed organization and the recruitment of Neil are not at the same time.
The futurists believe that the protagonist will recruit Neil in the future to form a creed organization, and then ask Neil to return to the opera house to save the protagonist. The basis of the futuristic is of course to recognize that Neil is Kate’s son, and then it is more reasonable to know Neil and set up a creed organization at the same time. Neal can get exercise and growth from the creed organization. In fact, no matter whether Neil belongs to the past or the future, from the protagonist's perspective, it is the future, and for Neil, it is the past.
It depends on which one you are more willing to believe. So I said in the last video that Neil comes from the future and it’s not too rigorous. Here to correct it, the end of the film should be that the protagonist is in his future. He met and recruited Neil, so Neil followed the instructions and went to the opera to save the protagonist. , And then expand the task in the movie.
Q: Is Neil Kate's son? Uh... this question... Let's talk about the conclusion first. Reason tells me that I don't think it is very likely. But my inner hope is. The various examples currently overwhelming on the Internet are not strictly speaking evidence, but speculation. For example, Robert Pattinson was dyed yellow for the role of Neil. Kate kid mentioned going to Pompeii. The name of Kate kid Max has the meaning of "biggest", and Neil has the meaning of nil zero.
There is also a word game maximilien to maximize the words, max is Max, and Neil is the last letter of the word written upside down, which just confirms max and neil. The reason why I hope they are mother and child is because Neil went back to the past, and he has an extra layer of motivation, which is to save his mother and himself. And why does the protagonist try to protect Kate at the end, because Kate can't die, otherwise it will increase the variables for the future growth of Neal.
Of course, there are many examples of overturning this setting. First of all, if Neal was recruited in the past in the first question, he would definitely not be Kate's son. If Neal is recruited in the future, then we are considered a time difference, it is difficult to check it in terms of age. Neal mentioned in the film that he had a master's degree in physics. In the film, Neil looks like he is 30-35 years old. If he returns to the opera house in the future, he will have to start at the age of 15-17. Before that, he had to get a master's degree in physics, and he had to stay retrograde for 15-17 years. Neal spent half of his life in retrograde, which is obviously unreasonable. Of course you can say that Neil happened to be studying physics during retrograde time, yes, but you have to get a degree, not just take an exam, you have to go to school for a few years.
So it is more reasonable that the protagonist will meet the young Neil in the next few years. At that time Neil was still reading physics and spent some friendship time with the protagonist. Then the young Neil went retrograde for a few years and returned to the opera house. That day. Calculating this way, Neal would not be Kate’s son in terms of age. Of course, let me just say so directly. This is another time that Nolan played cunningly like the ending of "Inception", deliberately letting Neil's life experience spark discussion. But so far, there is no conclusive evidence that I can confirm that Neil is Kate’s son. Someone even asked Elizabeth, the heroine who played Kate, and Elizabeth denied it and said that my son is my son. So on this issue, you may have to wait for the Blu-ray version to come out and look for clues frame by frame, or Nolan will come forward and talk about this issue directly.
Q: Now that what has happened has already happened, people in the future will definitely know that Sato has failed, so why try? It is worth noting here that some people in the future do not believe in the grandfather's paradox and believe in the usual universe, so they try to communicate with Sato. For example, we now have the time mechanism to go back to the eve of the first Opium War 180 years ago, to stop this war, and then some people went to get in touch with the people in 1840 and instruct them how to stop the Opium War. It broke out, but the final conclusion is that what happened has already happened.
Q: What exactly is the time clamp tactics? The car chase and interrogation in the film and the red and blue team offense at the end are both typical time clamp tactics, but Nolan played more complicatedly, because both the enemy and the enemy have pros and cons. In the film, the beard officer explained to the protagonist the one-way time clamp tactics. He said: teammates observe time first, and then return (time) to launch an offensive. For example, in the airport warehouse, the protagonist has not learned the time pincer tactics, but Sato has already used it. After the airport crashes into the warehouse, Sato asks his men to retrograde back to before and transfer the paintings to ensure that they threaten Kate's paintings. Not damaged.
If you still don’t understand, you think you are going to chase a girl, but because you are stupid, every time you get along with a girl, you are not very successful, so you use the reversal door to go back to the past and use the future Information and consultation, come after the girl. From a girl’s point of view, she would find it very strange, why sometimes you (now) are a little stupid, and sometimes you (in the future) understand her heart so well, as time goes by, girls think you are very cute and precise. I like you (run away...). In addition, there is a movie "The Time Traveler's Wife", the way the male protagonist meets the female protagonist is somewhat similar to the time clamp tactics.
Q: Will people in the future send the door of reversal back to the past? Or is it built by modern people based on the guidelines of future people? In fact, the reversal gate itself is a model of the grandfather's paradox. If you have seen the German drama "Dark", you know what I'm talking about. There is a time machine in "Dark". The maker of the time machine is Dr. Clock, but the detailed engineering drawings of the time machine made by Dr. In the past, the drawings were given to Dr. Clock and Watches, so that Dr. Clock and Watches made them.
Therefore, the same reasoning proves that the future people will first develop the reversal door and send the manufacturing drawings back to the past for us to manufacture it, or should we make it first so that the future people can have the technology for the reversal door development? If you know that the door of reversal is a paradox, you won't have this question, because there is no answer.
Q: How do people eat and drink Lhasa? Just... eat and drink Lazard normally, just people who reverse the world, see that all your movements are backwards, when you urinate, the urine will return to the bladder, and when you pull the papa, the papa will rush back to your body. But it is possible that eating and drinking Lhasa can only be comfortable in a room where the air has been reversed, just like the reversed character in the film can move and breathe freely in the air-tight oxygen room. So reversing people in the retrograde world is really painful. It is possible that reversing people in the untreated air, the harder you urinate, the harder you urinate. It feels strange. As said in the film, when you run in a retrograde world, you feel the wind blowing backwards.
Q: Are Indian women really a member of the creed organization? Has she ever contacted future people? I am sure and affirmative of this. The Indian woman is a loyal member of the creed organization. The sharp-eyed netizens even made the cross gesture of the creed organization when the Indian woman spoke for the first time. And after the car chasing and interrogation, when the rescuers arrived on the scene, Neil also explained that these troops are Indian women, ours. So the Indian woman is the commander of the creed organization at this time.
As for whether she has contact with the future person, the answer is of course yes, but the Indian woman also has her own regrets. When she first met the protagonist at home, she said: Every one of us can contact the future person, but the future person Will it respond? My understanding is that Indian women are devoted to the future creed organization, but when Indian women want to know who the real boss of the creed organization is, they didn’t get a response. Instead, she received one task from the future, she believed in it. And strictly enforced. It wasn't until she was killed by the future protagonist that she knew that the founder of Creed was the protagonist, but she was still willing to die without questioning.
Q: At the end, how did Neil go retrograde to unlock? Wasn't the door blown up? How did he get out after opening it? What the movie shows is that the protagonist enters the cave, the bomb explodes at the door, and the protagonist talks to Sato, then reverses Neil to open the door and exit the cave. But many people here believe that Neil exited the cave. At that time, the cave had exploded and blocked how he got out. In other words, it was a reversal of how Neil got in. Yes, this is indeed like a bug, but Nolan did not show this paragraph, and can fix the bug on the audience's brain.
If we look at Neil’s perspective, Neil needs to open the sealed cave first in order to let himself in. Because the hot war is over, Neil can slowly figure out a way to open the cave door, such as Neil exploding himself, or the bearded man The officer helped him explode. After that, Neil began to reverse, and then went to the cave entrance, and saw the retrograde movement of the male officer facing him or the bearded man opening the stone in the cave entrance, reversing Neil entering the cave before he could go in, and then just waiting. When the protagonist secretly came down from the top of the cave, Sato’s men rose up from the well, and the three wrestled together. At this time, the door was locked. Neil hurriedly opened the lock. After the door opened, the protagonist and the beard were reversed. The male officer went out retrograde, turned Neil closed the door, and locked himself and Sato's men inside. At this time, Neil just stood up, Sato's men shot Neil who was blocking the bullet, Neil died, and the protagonist and the bearded male officer continued to retreat out of the hole. In other words, Neil died forever in retrograde time. When Sato's men first entered the cave, they found Neil's body lying there.
Q: How many Neils are there at the end? If you think Neil is Kate’s son, there are six. One is Neil (1) as a child, Neil (2) who reverted back to the Opera House, and Neil (3) who saved the protagonist by the Opera House. In Stoker 12, one is Neil (4) who just started the blue team, the other is the blue-to-red driver honking the horn, and then Neil who saves the protagonist on the top (5), and the other is the reversal of the sacrifice inside. Neal (6).
Future background & reversal door & calculus
We must first understand what this "creed" is talking about, in one sentence, it is a story that prevents future humans from extinction of present humans. In the next few centuries, in the human living environment, the boiling sea level will rise, food will be scarce, and humanity will be on the brink of extinction. This setting reminds me of "Future Water World" in 1995. The background of "Future Water World" is the melting of glaciers, and the earth is almost completely covered by sea water.
However, in the "creed" of human future technology, scientists have used the directionality of changing the "entropy" to study and create a reversal machine, which is the reversal door seen in the film. Entropy is a word in physics. In simple terms (I know it’s not correct, but I can only say it simply) is to return items from a disordered state to an ordered state. The bullets in the film are shot into the wall in disorder. Returning to the magazine to return to the bullet state is orderly. You don’t need to understand too much here. What we need to be clear at present is that in the future, humans can use the principle of entropy increase and entropy reduction to reverse the time and space of an object.
For example, as long as I enter the reversal door, my entropy will be reversed and become a reversal person. From my perspective, my sense of time and consciousness are still forward, just the environment I am in. And time is going backwards. In other words, I can use this method to go back in time. So how does the reversal door in the film work? According to the protagonist entering the reversal door in the film, in addition to the outer metal door will rotate, the large disc inside will also rotate. When the metal door is closed, people will do it. One entropy changes, and then comes out through another door, thus realizing the reversal. The design structure of the reversal door, as well as the choice of red and blue colors, is actually inspired by the CPT symmetry in physics.
CPT symmetry is a symmetry property in the laws of physics. The physical quantities with this property are inversely transformed together in charge (C, Charge), parity (P, Parity), and time (T, time) (that is, positive and negative changes). After unchanged. Similarly, the knowledge of CPT symmetry theory is very complicated and cannot be simply said. As long as you understand CPT symmetry, you can extend a "mirror" of our universe. Usually, when observing quantum in science, there is also the well-known Maxwell's demon theory, these animation shapes and colors. , Is the shape or red and blue color of the reversal door in the film.
Regarding the red and blue of the reversal door, the most obvious is the reversal door that appeared in the port of the car chase in Tallinn. The red and blue are used by Nolan to better distinguish the positive and negative time. It includes an oxygen mask. In addition to being more in line with the reversal principle, it is very An important factor is also to allow the audience to better distinguish the status of the characters in the positive and negative time. Although the film didn't say it clearly, it was emphasized again that the film did not say it clearly. But according to the characters using the reversal door, we can further understand the use of the reversal door. If you want to reverse from the positive time to the reverse time, then you have to enter through the red door and go out from the blue door. When you want to go from anti-time back to anti-time, you have to enter through the blue door, turn back to the red door and exit. In the airport warehouse scene, in order to return to normal time, the protagonist of the reversal is to first enter the blue line door, and then exit from the red line door to change to a positive time. The port reversal gate, the protagonist of the positive time also enters through the red gate and reverses out of the blue gate.
In the film, a total of 4 reversal doors are mentioned. They are at Oslo Airport, where the protagonist encounters the reversal for the first time. The port of Tallinn, the protagonist was interrogated in the red and blue room. Off Trondheim, where the Creed Blue team reversed. There are also the 12 cities of Stoker, the door where Neil secretly reversed.
The principle of time-space reversal in the film, and the essential difference between time traversal, is that time traversal is instantaneous, while the film is the reversal of real time. For example, if I want to buy a lottery ticket to make a fortune, the number will be opened a week later, so I write down the first prize lottery number that I just opened, enter the reversal door, and then wear the oxygen mask for the entire reverse time for a week, and then give the lottery number to the one week ago Myself, and then I passed the reversal door a week ago and turned back to positive time. After another week, I returned to my normal life. So in this week, there will be 3 me, namely the normal me A, the me B who sent the lottery numbers retrogradely, and the me C who sent the lottery. So I want to go back to a week later and continue my normal life. Actually, I have already passed 3 weeks.
So, for example, I want to go back 20 years ago and tell myself that I remember that when I had money, I would buy a house. The price was very miserable, because it would take 40 years for you to return like this, and 20 years is still a reverse time. So the reversal gate can only be entered by humans and cause time reversal? No, as long as the material enters the reversal gate, from the perspective of the material, the world has already begun to reverse time, but that people can consciously perceive the reversal of time and space . The future time capsule in the film is after passing the reversal door and then being buried, then as time goes retrograde, it is dug out by the villain Sato in the film.
Let’s go back to the future storyline. At some time in the future, a female scientist has developed an algorithm. This algorithm is more powerful than the reversal gate. The algorithm can directly reverse the entropy of the entire world, thus Lead the world to annihilation. Seeing this, everyone should also be able to distinguish that the reversal gate and the algorithm are two different things, although they both have the concept of "entropy" change. It seems that the film did not specifically mention whether there was a reversal gate or an algorithm first. I personally understand that people in the future will develop the reversal gate first, and then a female scientist from the group of scientists is studying the entropy change of the reversal gate. Based on this, an algorithm that can directly reverse the entire world has been developed.
Note that this time is still an algorithm. So when the algorithm was invented, those in power thought that the algorithm could be materialized and manufactured, and then sent back to the past. At a certain point in the past, the computer was activated to annihilate the past world and make the environment unaffected. Pollution, so that people in the future will not have to suffer. Because people in the future think that the humans in the past do not cherish the earth, so that the humans in the future will suffer a hellish living environment. Here, Nolan plays a proposition on environmental protection issues. In the future, if people want to destroy the past world, it involves the famous grandfather paradox, that is, if you go back to the past and kill your grandfather, how can you still be there? If you don’t have you, how can you kill your grandfather? This is a paradox, so there is no answer.
However, a large part of human beings in the future believe that the hypothesis of parallel universes can be given a try. Perhaps this can change the environment in the future or create a new world. . So just do what they say, and those in power ask the female scientists to materialize the algorithm and create an arithmetic machine, which is composed of 9 parts in the film...like a metal string connected by flesh and blood. As long as the 9 components are connected together and then activated, the whole world can be reversed, resulting in the opposition of world time and space, and the annihilation of the world no longer exists.
Regarding this setting, in the analysis of the "Creed" trailer, I explained that the consequences of the contact between positive matter and antimatter are more severe than nuclear bombs, so I will not start here. So in the future, when the calculus was created, the female scientist regretted it and became a rebel because she believed that if the past world was annihilated, the future would no longer exist, and more importantly, why let the past human history , To bear the charge. In the film, the Indian woman compares the future female scientist to Robert Oppenheimer, the leader of the atomic bomb Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer is also known as the "father of the atomic bomb." When the atomic bomb was developed and bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Oppenheimer once sighed: "I am now the god of death, the destroyer of the world." In the same future, the female scientist also thinks that she has become the god of death. Pandora's Box that destroyed the world.
So the female scientist split the calculus into 9 parts. She thinks that the best way to hide these 9 components is to use the reversal door to reverse the calculus and hide them in the nuclear bomb safe houses of 9 countries with nuclear weapons. Because these places are the most closely protected. The nine nuclear weapons countries are China, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel. After hiding 9 parts of the calculator, the female scientist committed suicide.
So the question is, since the female scientist regrets making the calculus, isn't it okay for her to destroy it on the spot, and she has to take the trouble to reverse it and send it back to the past. Isn't this creating a chance for the enemy? Well. . . In fact, part of the reason for this kind of logical motive is, of course, the need for the plot. But if you think about it carefully, perhaps this is also the best choice for female scientists. The film uses very little space to tell the future, and it basically relies on a few lines to let the audience make up for themselves. Therefore, my brain supplement reasoning is that when future female scientists developed a calculus, the calculus would naturally not remain in the hands of female scientists, just as Oppenheimer had no right to dismantle it if he regretted the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. Atomic bomb. Maybe the female scientist is still under house arrest, forcing her to make more physical calculations, so the female scientist committed suicide because she didn’t want to obey. In the film, the Indian woman also mentioned that the reason why the female scientist committed suicide was so that she would not commit suicide. Forced to build another one.
In short, a female scientist cannot destroy the calculus on the spot, so the best way a female scientist can think of is to divide the calculus into 9 parts and send it back to the past. Of course, all these actions are not done by female scientists alone. In the future, there will definitely be people or organizations standing on the side of female scientists to assist female scientists in reversing 9 parts of the calculus secretly to the nuclear warehouses of 9 nuclear-armed nations today. The organization that will stand on the side of female scientists in the future is likely to be an iterative descendant of the creed organization.
So the future authorities, in order to retrieve the calculus, they began to review history, looking for a person from the past to communicate with them, and then let that person find the calculus and reassemble it. The future man discovered the political situation of the Cold War in the Soviet Union in the last century. Turbulent times are the best time. In the words of Indian women, the years before the disintegration of the Soviet Union were the most insecure moments in the history of nuclear weapons. Then the future man made a time capsule, put some gold bars and a letter to Sato, buried it in the place where Sato was born, in the 12th city of Stosk, let Sato be a helper to find the calculator for the future And activate the person.
Of course, from the perspective of future people, they don’t actually need to find Sato, because according to the laws of the film, what happened has already happened, so when people in the future find out that they need to contact someone in the past, they can find Sato by checking history. Trust this person and the address where the time capsule needs to be placed. From that time on, Sato also communicated with people in the future. In decades, Sato found 8 parts of the calculator, one short of one. The motivational event of "Creed" was launched by Sato to grab the last part of the calculator, plutonium 241, which is the first opera house shootout we saw.
Pull tab detail explanation
The perspective of the whole movie is actually quite clear, that is, the audience and the protagonist have experienced the story of how to transform from an ordinary agent into the founder of the creed organization. By the way, the protagonist has no name from beginning to end. I don’t know if you find out that Nolan’s doing this also echoes the last paragraph at the end. That sentence probably means that no one knows that the world is almost destroyed, and everyone lives as usual. The protagonist has no name, perhaps just to express the obscurity of the salvation hero.
Let's first look at the first opera theater. Here we need to know the time of the opera event, which is the same day as the end of the Vietnamese yacht and the hot war in the 12 cities of Stosk. If you have seen the first-order friends, you should remember that I said that the film's first opera house shootout did not have a beginning. We will now complete the opening content.
Before the Opera House shootout, an undercover agent of the CIA was sitting in the private room of the Opera House. He had already obtained part of the calculator. Specifically, the CIA knew how many secrets the creed organization was, and the film did not give much explanation. But after the protagonist was rescued from the back, the CIA leader said that the protagonist passed the test, which shows that the CIA and the Creed Organization are assisting and cooperating.
I think (presumably) there are actually four waves of people in the gunfight of the entire opera house, plus a mysterious person. Each organization has its own ghosts and operates in its own way, but the purpose is to get the calculus components (except for the mysterious person). . These four waves are the terrorists, the Ukrainian army, the protagonist and three other CIA agents, as well as Sato’s Russian mercenaries, that is, the two drivers carrying the protagonist. Of course, among those terrorists, there is also Sato. People.
In the beginning, terrorists attacked the opera house, and then Ukrainian troops arrived. The protagonist and three other agents who had been waiting outside the opera house for a long time were awakened. Here I have always been curious, why the protagonist were awakened, was it because they were given anesthesia before, or they were sleeping? Or is Nolan wanting to pay tribute to his "Inception"? Let's keep this question for now.
After that, the driver of the protagonist gave them a prepared one based on the team logo of the special forces sent by Ukraine. I checked it here. The four Ukrainian logos they prepared did not exist in reality. Maybe this is also the case. Don't want to cause disputes, because the Ukrainian military is very bad in the film, ignoring the lives of the audience in the performance hall.
A total of four CIA protagonists and they participated in the operation, they followed the Ukrainian army into the operation, the purpose is to rescue the CIA undercover. Here Nolan played a detailed control. If you want to distinguish between the protagonist and the army, in fact, the gas mask used by the protagonist has a yellow inner circle, while the inner circle of the Ukrainian army's mask has no color.
After that, the Ukrainian army released narcotic gas and anesthetized everyone in the theater. In fact, this scene insinuated and satirized on October 23, 2002, more than 40 Chechen separatists broke into Moscow’s Palace of Culture theater and hijacked 850. The audience, the authorities also released anesthetic gas at that time, anesthetized all the people in the performance hall, and then forcibly broke in and killed 39 gangsters. But it also caused 129 deaths due to excessive inhalation of anesthetic gas.
Let's go back to the movie. In the movie, after the army released the narcotic gas, everyone was drunk. Some terrorists were also drunk, but some of them were equipped with gas masks. At this time, the army forcibly broke into the performance hall, and the protagonist and teammates took the opportunity to go to the VIP box to find the undercover teammate. After the protagonist saw the undercover, he said a code word: "We are all living in the world of twilight", and the next sentence in the match code is: "No friends at dusk". These two codewords pay tribute to Robert Pattinson's "Twilight", which is also from the poem "Leaf of Grass" by Walt Whitman.
After correcting the secret codes, the protagonist got plutonium 241, which is a part of the calculator, in the cloakroom, and gathered together in the pantry. Then the undercover agent and the CIA agent among them changed their clothes. At this time, the tasks of the protagonist and theirs should have been completed, just leave along the sewer. But in the process of rescuing the undercover, the protagonist saw that the Ukrainian military wanted to blow up the entire performance hall with a time bomb, so that no evidence would be left, including the controversial use of anesthetic gas. At that time, the Ukrainian military could also be said to be terrorist What the molecule does. . Therefore, after the protagonist completed the task of rescuing the undercover agent, he and another agent who had changed outfits returned to the performance hall to remove the bomb. During the demolition process, a Ukrainian soldier who was left behind saw him and warned the protagonist to leave and not to be nosy (speaking in English). This sentence can explain from the side that, in fact, the CIA and the Ukrainian military may pass the mission privately, but the Ukrainian military turned back in the middle and eliminated the CIA's agents and undercover agents, and obtained the computer component plutonium 241.
Just as the protagonist was about to be killed, a mysterious man appeared and killed the Ukrainian soldiers with an inverse bullet. It’s not for sale here anymore. The mysterious man is Neil, but Neil hasn’t reversed at this time. His movements are normal, except that the gun or bullet in his hand is an inverse weapon. Some people may think that Neil can actually save the protagonist with a normal pistol, but for the beginning of the film, there is a surprise, so he uses an inverse weapon. But more importantly, Neil may not want to leave evidence on the scene and use an inverse weapon. Is the best choice.
After that, the protagonist successfully threw the bomb to the box floor and rescued the audience in the performance hall. The protagonist was returning to the car with his teammates. The two drivers turned back. They thought that the protagonist was carrying the calculator components, but in fact they did not, and the undercover agent had already Change into an agent. So there is a scene of torture on the train tracks to extract a confession, the purpose is to ask the protagonist to tell the whereabouts of the undercover and the computer components, as well as the next plan of the CIA. What needs everyone to pay attention to here is that the protagonist is just an ordinary agent of the CIA at this time. He doesn't know what calculus or reversal of time. The protagonist is only performing tasks and rescuing the undercover.
So the protagonist was in a hurry and ate the suicide pill secretly revealed by the agent in front. The title of the movie was published, and the protagonist officially joined the creed organization. The title of TENET, as discussed in the trailer, is a back-and-forth stone monument from Pompeii. Kate’s son also mentioned in the film that he went to visit the ancient sites of Pompeii. As we all know, the five palindrome words on the stone tablet correspond to several key roles and elements in the film.
TENET represents the name or code name of the creed organization in the film. SATOR is the name of the villain Sato. AREPO is the name of the seller of mysterious fake paintings. The OPERA opera house, as its name suggests, refers to opera house events. ROTAS refers to Lotus in the warehouse of Sato Oslo Airport. I believe that many people on the entire network have already said what I said above. I will explain more here. In fact, the SATOR Square in Pompeii should not be understood in English at the beginning, but in Latin. In the Latin system, these words also contain What does it mean?
SATOR refers to ancestors, creators, and gods. At the end of the film, when the protagonist talks with Sato, the protagonist says that Sato is a madman, and Sato says, or I am a god. In the film, Sato plays a god of destruction about the survival and destiny of mankind. AREPO is the god of death and rebirth. TENET is balance and maintenance. The existence of creed organization in the film is actually a kind of balance maintenance. OPERA Latin means work and task, which is the task at the beginning of the protagonist. ROTAS means rotation, which fits well with the red and blue reversal doors.
Why did Nolan put the TENET title in this scene? In fact, in this train rail torture scene, there are a lot of Nolan's private goods expressed in it. Obviously it is the train, and Nolan really loves trains just like Xie Er. In the "Batman" series, Thomas Wayne established a light rail train system in Gotham, and the train in Inception is a key plot element.
In "Creed", the protagonist is tortured on both sides of the moving train. The trains on both sides actually look the same (I have looked carefully), but they are moving in opposite directions, giving the audience an illusion of going back and forth. , Also implies that the film’s back and forth causal cycle.
The mercenaries tore down another agent who was dying, which was regarded as a tribute to the kick in Inception.
Later, the mercenaries adjusted the time, which also hinted at the relationship between the film and time. Some people here may not understand why the mercenaries slow down the time. In the dialogue, the mercenaries said that by 7 o’clock, the protagonist’s teammates can successfully escape. It is estimated that the protagonist will successfully exit the country with the calculus, but in fact the protagonist The teammate has been taken by the Ukrainian military, but neither the protagonist nor the mercenary knows. So the mercenary wanted to pull the teeth and torture the protagonist before 7 o'clock, forcing the protagonist to tell the whereabouts of his teammates. The protagonist thought that as long as he endured until 7 o'clock, the mercenary would naturally kill him, and he didn't need to continue to suffer.
But when the time was approaching 7 o'clock, the mercenaries knew that they couldn't ask questions, but they were still intent on using the torture. They threw away the protagonist's suicide pill and deliberately called back the time. In fact, it meant that I was going to torture you to death. At this time, the protagonist saw the front teammate stretch out a suicide pill, so the protagonist rushed to swallow the pill.
At this time, the title TENET appears. Although the plot of this movie is a back and forth cycle, if you must draw a starting point, when the protagonist swallows the suicide pill to produce the title, it should be regarded as the starting point of the whole cycle story. In the next scene, the protagonist was rescued and lay on the boat. The boss told him that all his teammates were gone. During his coma, the protagonist had his teeth rebuilt, and the calculator (Plutonium 241) was gone, and the mission failed. But the important thing is that the suicide pill is fake, and the protagonist passes the test and can join the creed organization.
Regarding this suicide pill, many people think it is true, because if it is fake, Sato’s CIA suicide pill at the back of the film will not die if taken. Here I think it can be divided into two hypotheses to discuss. One hypothesis is that what the protagonist ate was a real suicide pill, but he was rescued in time by a member of the Creed Organization or Neal when he was in a coma. However, in order to keep the protagonist secret, he deliberately told the protagonist that he had taken a fake suicide pill. This is a test.
The other is that the protagonist ate it. It was indeed a fake suicide pill. It was arranged by the protagonist in the future. Because the protagonist knew that there would be such a torture to extract a confession, he changed the suicide pill of his teammate to a fake one in advance. As for the protagonist at that time, he wouldn't die if he swallowed it, but after that, he referred to this as a test to allow the protagonist to join the creed organization. Which one do you believe more?
We continue to look down. After the protagonist joins the creed organization, he takes the audience to understand what the creed is. The protagonist goes to the female scientist, studies the reverse bullet, and analyzes the bullet originated in India, so as to find the Indian woman.
After that, the female scientist takes the protagonist to visit the remains of future wars from all over the world, there are various complex objects, so as to infer the future large-scale war. In just 2 scenes and a few lines, but thinking about the level may lead to 2 big hidden plot lines, one is what kind of war will be in the future, and the other is the source of the inverse bullet.
Let’s look at the future war first. The female scientist believes that this research mission is to prevent the third world war in the future. It is inferred that in the future, humans will use counter weapons similar to nuclear bombs, which will radiate many objects after the explosion and make these objects reverse. In other words, the future war will be a pros and cons war similar to the end of the film, but it will be more tragic and the weapons used will be more powerful. For example, one party may directly reverse the nuclear bomb and then detonate it. This power is just like a reverse bullet, and the destructive power increases. Perhaps the reversed nuclear bomb explodes, causing the objects around the nuclear explosion to be reversed by radiation.
The second hidden plot is the inverse bullet. The protagonist says that it is similar to modern weapons, which also shows that future wars will happen in the near future and will be continuous. More importantly, the anti-rotor guns studied by the protagonist were sold to Sato by an Indian woman. Sato may bury these weapons according to the instructions of the future, and use them in reverse after they are dug up by the future.
However, I have another inference, that is, the inverse bullets and guns have nothing to do with Sato's money. After watching the whole film, we know that Indian women are members of the creed organization and are opposed to Sato. Every time an Indian woman talks with the protagonist, it is actually a process of guiding the protagonist. Therefore, when the protagonist is studying inverse rotor bullets, perhaps it will still be a game arranged by the protagonist in the future. The purpose is to let the protagonist find the Indian woman from the place where the bullet is produced, and let the Indian woman guide the protagonist to understand the truth of the creed step by step, and get to know the truth in India by the way. Neil.
Why do I have such an inference, because before the protagonist breaks into the Indian woman's house in the next scene, the protagonist has already communicated with the Indian woman. The Indian woman actually acts in accordance with the creed organization's instructions from beginning to end. So since the Indian woman is a member of the creed organization, she will naturally not sell weapons to Sato. Of course, it does not rule out that the Indian woman is a gray arms broker. But I prefer to believe that those inverse bullets are meant to lead the protagonist to know Indian women. So let’s review the whole thing. In the future, the protagonist may arrange for an Indian woman to reverse the bullet or gun, and then put it in the Institute of Women Scientists. The female scientist has discovered that the reversal gun originated from an Indian woman, so that the protagonist can find India based on this clue. Female.
After that, the protagonist went to India and met his assistant Neil. At this time Neil was a future man. He had two purposes when he turned back. One was to guide the protagonist, and the other was to complete the task with the protagonist. The film actually hinted that when the protagonist and Neil met for the first time, Neil helped the protagonist order a Diet Coke, because the protagonist’s favorite is Diet Coke. At the beginning of the scene, Neil said two words similar to riddles. The first sentence was: "Time is not a problem, the problem is that you can survive in the end." This sentence actually implies that the next task can be correct in time. It is repeated in the back and forth, but must be alive, so time is not a problem.
Next Neal's second sentence is: "Will you kidnap (threat) women and children?" This sentence implies that Kate will be used in the next mission, and the end of the film will kill the Indian girl. But in fact, this sentence can be over-interpreted. It is about Neil's own future, that is, the future of Neil's first acquaintance with the protagonist, which is not shown in the film. Let's talk about this at the next level (very brainy). After that, the protagonist and Neil sneaked into the home of the Indian woman. When the protagonist used the gun to force the Indian husband to tell the buyer of the inverse rotor bullet, the Indian woman said the first sentence in the film: "Leaking customer information will violate my beliefs. The tenet of the rule” was finished, and the Indian woman revealed to the protagonist that Sato was her buyer in the next second.
So does the Indian woman violate the guidelines? In fact, the opposite is true. In the first sentence, the Indian woman implies that she is a member of the creed organization and will do everything in accordance with the creed organization's arrangements. The customer information is not disclosed here. Her client is actually the boss of the creed organization (the protagonist in the future but the Indian
