I hope this is the most simple and understandable interpretation of the "Creed" on the entire network.
If you really understand the "Creed", you will be like the hero at the end, looking at Neil's far away back, unable to stop crying tears of grief.
Seeing Neal's life clearly, you will know how sad this story is. At the beginning of the opera house event, Neil from at least six timelines was in action. On that day alone, Neil saved the hero 3 times, once at the Opera House, once at the top of Stark 12, and once at his death... The hero and Neil actually said goodbye twice... and Each time, they couldn't understand each other's feelings.
To understand the "Creed", there is no need to deduct the entropy increase and decrease. You only need to stand in the perspective of all God and see all the story timelines clearly. Today, the inspector will take you to open an all-god perspective to understand this great and sad story.
"Creed" complete timeline + analysis of core theoretical issues
(The following content has spoilers)
→The following timelines are all from left (past) to right (future) → The basic plot is not sorted out here, let's start with hard goods. First of all, if you want to understand time and space movies, you must divide the story into events : Opera events (the male protagonist’s first mission, the explosion of the Kiev Opera House) ↓
Vietnam Yacht Incident (the heroine Kat and the villain Sato Yacht quarrel) ↓
Stark 12 Incident (Last War and Explosion) ↓
Oslo incident (aircraft crashed into the free port + the male lead himself) ↓
Highway incident (the male lead was taken to the port after getting the device on the highway + Kat shot) ↓
Forward in the direction of time. The timeline of the film starts with the Opera House incident and ends with a highway incident. Among them, the Opera House + Vietnam Yacht + Stark 12 events occurred on the same day. After the male protagonist enters the door of reversal, the second half of the film develops backwards, that is, it reverses again.
The exact time is: Vietnam, Opera House, Stark (25:18 lines), the three events all occurred on the 14th (1:54:05 lines), and the Oslo event occurred on the 28th to the 30th of the end of the month. In the sky, the highway incident occurred on the 7th of the next month (1:27:48 lines, 7 days apart from the Oslo incident).
Here is the first core question. If you can answer it, the "Creed" basically understands half of it——
>>>>When did Sato get the device?
If you still think that the villain took it from the silver car, you just didn't turn around:
The film is playing: Reverse actor and Reverse Sato ← The device flies from the silver car back to the BMW car ← Reverse Sato knocks over the silver car
The movie is played backwards: the silver car is restored → the male protagonist throws an empty box, and the device throws the silver car at the same time → three cars go in parallel → the silver car returns to the port
When the silver car exploded, it was installed in the BMW car, and then pushed forward, it returned to the Ukrainian car.
The highway incident was the first "pincer offensive" in the film, and it was also the place where the audience was stunned for the first time. There is no shot of Sato getting the device in the film. Because in the forward time, this event must happen after the male protagonist enters the reversal door, that is, after the timeline presented by the film.
The positive presentation in the film is (the timeline is from left to right): the male protagonist grabs the device → is threatened on the highway → throws a box → is taken to the port for interrogation → Kat is shot → the male protagonist enters the reversal gate and goes retrograde. Then there is the reverse presentation (the timeline is from left to right, and the film is presented from right to left): the silver car is bombed ← the device returns from the silver car to the BMW car ← the male protagonist drives the silver car to chase Sato ← Kat is shot ←The male protagonist enters the reversal door. Detailed timeline of highway incidents:
Note that Sato's pincer offensive starts when the male lead gets on the high-speed grab device and ends when the male lead enters the reversal gate. So you will see that when the male protagonist just got into the BMW car and prepared to grab the device, the car's rearview mirror was broken. On the positive side, the installation went from the Ukrainian government car, to the male lead BMW car, and finally to the silver car.
In the end, the male protagonist drove the silver car retrogradely back to the port, and then returned to the reversal door and disappeared. At this time, Nisatuo knew that the device was in the car. He only needs to turn to the forward direction, wait for the highway incident to end, and then follow the silver car to the port, wait for the male protagonist to return to the reverse door, and then take away the car. Just install it.
From the perspective of All God, what you will see is: Sato is holding Kat to the port, and two Satos suddenly appear in the reversal gate, one positive Sato + one reverse Sato. Sato will hide and listen, Zheng Sato will wait for the event to end. Inverse Sato will press Kat on the high-speed → backward and blow up the silver car → pick up the empty box → check the BMW car → take Kat to the port → interrogate the male lead → shoot Kat → enter the reverse door and disappear.
If the above core problem is understood, then the second core problem is ushered in:
>>>>Reverse Sato shoots Kat where did he go after retreating to the reversal gate?
He disappeared.
To be precise, he went back to the past, and he couldn't see this Sato in the future timeline. What this involves is the core time rule of the "Creed". Before talking about this rule, we must first know a concept- retrograde suicide. After entering the reversal machine, you can only go retrograde to the past. Then the first person to invent the reversal machine, after he reversed, he went retrograde to the past, unable to find the reversal machine, and had to go backwards and wait to die. And it was dead in the past.
Of course the person who invented the reversal machine would not be so sand sculptured. He will definitely enter the second day after the birth of the first reversal machine, so that he can go retrograde to the first day of the birth of the reversal machine, and use it to reverse the forward direction. At this time the problem appeared. From the perspective of God, the moment he had just developed the reversal machine, he would find two selves popped out of it suddenly, one forward and the other reversed. When he decides to enter the reversal machine the next day, he will disappear into the reversal machine at the same time as a retrograde self. And the one who popped out of the reversal machine on the first day will succeed him as the only one in the world and continue to live a normal life.
This is the core time rule of "Creed"-one- way roundabout progress. The simple linear representation is the following figure. A person travels to the right, goes backwards through the reversal gate, then turns to the forward direction through the reversal gate in the past, and then moves forward again. For this person, he is equivalent to going around in circles before continuing on the timeline.
Corresponds to ①Sato who is performing a pincer offensive in the film. From the perspective of all God, he would first see Sato and Sato jumping out of the reversal door. Just as in Oslo, the male protagonist saw two of them jumping out of the reversal door at the same time. Then, Sato will enter the reversal gate and become Sato in the future. From the perspective of All God, ① and ② will enter the reversal gate at the same time and disappear.
Between the timelines of the two reversal doors on the left and right, there will be 3 Satos at the same time, until ①② all enter the reversal door and disappear. At this time, Sato has become the only Sato in the world again, and he can continue his normal life. For onlookers from the perspective of all God, we will see an "old" Sato who has completed a roundabout, and a Sato who lives against time, just as the male protagonist had a fight with himself. But for the person involved, his direction of travel has always been toward the front. Sato ① must be reversed to Sato ② in order to turn positive to become Sato ③.
Similarly, from the perspective of All God. The male protagonist, Kat and Neil after being shot, will disappear after passing the reversal door.
If the film continues to show the timeline afterwards, we will see Sato, who has completed the reversal and turned to the right, comes to the port to take the device in the silver cart. Then combine the algorithm, and then reverse the retrograde direction until Vietnam quarrels with his wife Kat, and then turn it into a positive direction. He finally died on the day of the Vietnam Yacht Incident, and also in his own past. And that day, the original Sato would experience the same roundabout as him, experience everything he experienced, and finally reach the same end. Sato's full story line:
Understand the law of one-way roundabout progress. You can also answer the third question yourself: >>>>When will Kat meet with his son and will not meet multiple selves?
The answer is: Wait until Kat, the male lead, and Neil, who were shot, enter the reversal door. After this point in time, she is the only Kat in the world, can meet her son and lead a normal life. Kat's full storyline:
So you will find that all people who use the reversing machine have a roundabout timeline. Between every two detour points, there will be two people, one forward and one reverse. But in the end, only a forward arrow is left.
Obviously, you can also play a big game- reversing thousands of selves back and forth, and then conquering island countries and the United States. Or, doing something more frenzied with myself... As the line said: "It will open the door to the right, and it will also open the door to the wrong."
But what you need to know is that this will come at a high price- each reversal consumes twice the time and life. During the reversal period, for the person involved, time is still passing, he will not gradually lose his memory cells, and he will not become young. But continue to grow old.
The simplest example: The male protagonist reverses to Oslo 7 days ago to save Kat, and then turns to the positive direction. He needs to work backwards for 7 days to return to the normal timeline, and he has to work hard for another 7 days to return to the moment when he disappeared and become the only self in the world. This time, he lived two 7 days longer than normal people.
This is why the villain Sato cannot cure cancer through reversal. Because cancer cells will not decrease, but will continue to deteriorate in the process of reversal.
This is the price of "creed". "Use it carefully." And when you know the cost of the "creed", how great this battle is.
>>>>What was the price of the last battle?
After understanding the previous explanation, you can also understand the complete timeline of the last "Stark 12 Clamp War". The complete timeline of Stark's 12 Clamp Wars:
From the perspective of All God. Before the start of the battle, the red team will see that the blue team + the blue team emerge from the large reversing machine. The blue team coming out of the reversing machine has successfully retreated back. They will wait for the end of the war and become the only blue team before they fight. The red team meets.
The red team will attack Stark 12. They saw the blue team retreat successfully, but they still have to cooperate with the blue team to attack. The device is taken out by the male protagonist, the battle is won, and the male protagonist and Neal are separated. After dozens of minutes, the blue team that had been waiting before will enter the reversal plane, retrograde until the start of the war, and fight with the red team.
Among them, one person did not come back-Neil. He needs to reverse alone after the battle is over. Neal's final reversal:
From the positive perspective of All God: the male protagonist is trapped underground → the male protagonist sees the dead Neil → the inverse villain prepares to shoot → the Neil resurrects the bullet and unlocks → the reverse Neil retreats back to the reverse machine → the male leader plays Rebellious villain → get the algorithm → separate from Neal → Neal then enters the reversal machine alone.
At the same moment in that battle, Neil saved the hero twice. Neil in the reverse direction first blocked the bullet for the male protagonist, and then Neil in the forward drove to the top of the mountain to pull out the male protagonist. Finally, through the red pendant on the backpack, the hero knew that the man who saved him at the beginning of the opera was also Neil.
At the end of the film, Neil goes to the reversal alone, is fate, is going to die. The farewell at the end of the film is a farewell. Those who understand the "Creed" will feel a trace of sadness at this moment. The answer to the next question will make people even sadder.
>>>>Why does Neil say this is the end of a beautiful friendship? Neil dedicated his life to the creed. On the day of the Opera House incident, there were at least 6 timelines of Neil, and Neil saved the hero 3 times. The first time was at the opera house, the second time was to block the bullet, and the third time was to rescue the male lead from Yamaguchi. Neal's complete timeline:
The final battle, for Neal, "is the end of a beautiful friendship." For the male protagonist, "this is just the beginning". After Stark's 12th war, the male protagonist completely understood the retrograde thinking from a little white, and re-examined the whole world with a new thinking. He became an experienced strategist and a firm leader.
Soon after, the male protagonist established a creed organization. He also met the very young Neil, taught Neil everything, and became the best partner and friend. The male protagonist finally understands that everything that is happening now is a pincer offensive launched by his future self a few years later. So he began to lead the creed and launched the most ambitious pincer offensive in history.
He sent members to go retrograde for several years, return to different moments in the past, and then turn to perform tasks in the forward direction. This is also the hidden timeline of the film, explaining why the "creed is established in the future", and long before the establishment of the creed, there have been countless members of the creed organization performing tasks all over the world. The complete timeline of the male protagonist (the TENET organization hides the timeline):
In the end, the male chief launched the greatest pincer offensive : send someone to guide himself to become the founder of the creed. The person performing this task is naturally the Neil he trusts most. Neal will go retrograde for several years, until the day of the opera house, save the hero, and then turn to the positive direction, and go to Mumbai to meet with the hero for the "first time".
That's why, Neil in Mumbai knows the male protagonist well. During the first mission, the two of them had almost no language exchange, and they were in a tacit understanding.
Because in the future, Neil and the male lead will be born to death together, and have known each other for many years. You will understand the meaning of "I've seen too many" in Neal's words.
Neal is the "dead" brother of the male protagonist. The hero and Neal said goodbye twice. On the day of Stark's 12th incident, the ignorant male protagonist watched Neal die for himself for the first time. On the day when he sends Neil to turn around in the future, he once again knows that he is sending Neil back to die for himself.
On that day in the future, the male protagonist’s eyes were also filled with tears, but Neil might not know for whom the tears shed. When he returned to Stark at 12, Neil didn't understand why the male protagonist would cry many years ago. Looking at the red-eyed male protagonist at this time, Neil smiled and said that sentence: For me, this is the end of a beautiful friendship. Those who understand are already heartbroken.
However, the most heartbreaking thing is that there will be no traces of them saving the world, let alone the story of Neil's sacrifice. Because on the positive timeline, everything that is done retrograde will be smoothed out by time, leaving no trace. Just as the male protagonist attacked each other against himself for the first time, the bullet returned to the gun, and the bullet hole in the glass disappeared perfectly.
This is why the male protagonist said that sentence at the end: We saved a world that was almost destroyed, but the world will never know this. The creed that goes retrograde in the long river of time will not leave any traces.
Seeing this, you will understand the greatness of the male protagonist and the creed organization: a meticulous male protagonist will launch countless complex and grand pincers in the future. There will be countless members of the creed who are willing to go retrograde for several years, sacrifice their lives and youth, and carry out these complex and grand pincer plans one after another.
What the film presents is just the tip of the iceberg of the creed organization's pincer offensive. And Neal, is the hero's greatest and most tragic pincer plan.
Supplement-Answers to Popular Questions
1. During the interrogation, Sato had just pushed Kat out of the room, and there was a shot Kat in the room in the next shot?
Still the same sentence: Don't look at the movie in the opposite direction.
But, looking forward, Kat has been positive during this time.
From being domestically abused → being taken on a high-speed → being interrogated as a hostage → being shot → Sato and Sato both entered the reversal door and disappeared → was rescued.
This is the complete timeline of the forward direction. The film continues. Sato enters the door, interrogates against Sato, shoots, and takes Kat out of the room. It's just a retrograde.
The current Kat was shot and was just rescued by TENET.
Then he was taken into the reversal door and went retrograde to recover from his injuries.
2. Why can Kat's gunshot wound retrograde be healed? Can the villain treat his cancer retrogradely? And why do people who are retrograde age rather than younger?
First of all, you have to distinguish the difference between "reverse" and "retrograde" .
In layman's terms, it is the difference between watching a pornographic film playing backwards, and going retrograde alone and having sex with a positive actress.
If a person "retrograde" will become younger, then his newly grown brain cells, memory cells will disappear, when retrograde, memory will disappear and age will become younger.
This becomes "upside down" instead of "retrograde", meaningless.
Then, we must know the concept of "relative" .
A positive person, time passes forward, he is aging, and his entropy increases.
But actually.
The person who reverses, for himself, time also passes forward (in front of him), he is still aging, and entropy is actually increasing.
They just reversed the direction of aging and entropy increase with us.
Therefore, those who are positive, and those who look at the reversal, will feel that the time of the reversal is regressive, and the entropy is reduced.
In this way, you know that Sato took the cancer to reverse, his time is still passing, the entropy is still increasing, he is still aging, and the cancer is still getting worse.
But for Kat.
The Kat is a positive one, and the middle one is a gunshot wound from a reverse bullet, which is a reverse wound.
After Kat goes retrograde, the person is in the reverse direction, and the reverse injury is in the same direction. When the reverse injury is positive, the reverse injury becomes an ordinary gunshot wound. As time goes by, it will slowly heal.
3. In the end, when Neil goes retrograde, does he open the door or lock the door?
——It is to lock the door of the masculine man.
If you can't turn around, just watch the animation of the movie playing backwards.
The ending film is played backwards, which is Neal's retrograde.
Reverse perspective (viewing from right to left): block bullets, fall down, die ← wait for the hero to exit to the outside of the door (on the side of the tunnel), lock the door ← enter the door, keep the door open ← enter through the tunnel ( At this time the door is open, and the hero fights with the villain inside the door)
4. How did the male lead save the female lead through a mobile phone?
This gives the male protagonist time to launch a pincer offensive.
This is also the first pincer offensive launched by the male protagonist after experiencing the highway incident and quickly mastering the profound meaning.
"Clamp-on offense" does not mean victory . "Clamp-on offensive" will only give promoters an "information advantage" over those who have not used the "Clamp-on offensive."
Point A is the time when the heroine leaves information, and point C is the life state (life or death) of the heroine later than point A.
The female protagonist leaves information at point A, so that the male protagonist can initiate an effective pincer attack at point C, which is the state of the female protagonist.
Therefore, the action of the heroine is more advantageous than that of assassinating the enemy of the heroine, and can give the heroine the most powerful protection.
If there is no mobile phone, Kat has not left any information.
Then the information that the hero will get in the future will only be Kat's final state, so whether he is retrograde or not, C is Kat's final state.
This is what the male protagonist means to the female protagonist's mobile phone. The moment the female protagonist turns on the phone to leave a message, she automatically enters the protection circle of the male protagonist's pincer attack.
...Can keep asking questions...
