Has anyone ever wondered why the protagonist was placed on the red team instead of the blue team during the raid on Sector 12?

Likewise, has anyone ever wondered why the blue team's action is in the nuclear past rather than the nuclear future?

Since "Creed" uses "reverse entropy" and "reverse time" as the main content of the movie, then let the male protagonist complete the decisive battle in the state of "reverse time", and complete the lore of the enemy. Is it more profound?

I think this question actually hides a grudge that Nolan did not show candidly in the movie, but has always been entrenched in his heart: he does not know whether the actual content of the "anti-entropy" he understands can support a decisive battle. intensity and atmosphere.

Some people may find it incomprehensible, and feel that the protagonist in the movie "reverse time" can see birds flying backwards, cars driving backwards, bullets recoiled, and voices rewinding. All these images are novel and realistic, making people seem real. Being in a "reverse time" environment is not enough to show how well Nolan understands "reverse time"? Maybe it really isn't enough.

For example, dragons, elves, goblins, magic, dungeons, etc. generally appear in Western fantasy-themed works. These elements do not exist in the real world, but the creators still have to design them to be lifelike, because they are For the background boards of Western magic themes, with them, the work may not be successful, but without them, the work cannot even take shape. And the images of "bullet reloading, sound rewinding" are not the background boards of "Creed".

Players or viewers will basically pay attention to the degree of coordination of the setting (background board) of the work, but after a little experience, many consumers are difficult to be fooled by the setting of the work, and they are often more concerned about the interaction of the characters in the setting. What is the sense of rhythm, whether it is deeply reflected when conflicts occur, and whether there is participation in important occasions.

Going back to "Creed", when the protagonist in the "reverse time" state is watching the birds from afar, the image of "reverse time" is indeed presented well, just like readers will feel excited when they read the set. However, when the protagonist of "counter-time" needs to deeply participate in and interfere with the contradiction of positive time, "Creed"'s performance of this scene that should have been written and written suddenly appears very simple, such as the two protagonists of positive and negative time fighting. Except for the small clip of "bullet recoil", you can hardly feel the "anti-entropy" image of this conflict, because the film lacks description.

To put it simply, if the protagonist of "anti-time" needs to be deeply involved in the conflict, the film's description of "anti-entropy" will suddenly disappear. And once the protagonist cannot interfere with the main body of "anti-entropy", various descriptions of "anti-entropy" in the film reappear.

This kind of fear of deep interference and heavy punching of simple images is enough to make people speculate that Nolan may not be confident enough in his understanding of "anti-entropy".

Finally back to the title, why is the protagonist not on the blue team?

According to the situation in "Creed" that once there is complicated interference, the expressive power of "anti-entropy" degenerates into "rewinding the videotape", the protagonist will go underground and see that the formula has been successfully recaptured, but the red team suddenly throws the formula back, Then the head of the bodyguard suddenly jumped back from the silo, and found that the red team was chatting with the boss... Then the protagonist returned to the ground, accompanied the blue team to watch the red team set off, and then helplessly felt that the scene just now was a bit grassy, ​​feeling "reverse" The meaning of "entropy" seems to have been dissolved...
