Finished Tenet night before last. That movie is ridiculous. I liked it much more the second time around, as did my wife, but it's still just friggin' wild.

Kenneth Branagh is the star of the show. He portrays his character as absolutely joyless; a purely miserable person absolutely consumed by power.

The ultimate scene is Neil and The Protagonist having their brief discussion as Neil walks away, toward his sacrifice. That conversation is amazing. It's the best acting in the whole movie, for John David Washington; The Protagonist seems truly affected. That conversation adds an emotive weight to the movie, that was otherwise mostly absent.

We'll watch again in a couple years.

About an hour into Silence now. I need to do a bit of reading on the sectarian situation in Japan at that time, to better understand why they persecuted Christians the way they did. Andrew Garfield's accent is a little distracting. The near constant tension is rough; you feel as though you, as the viewer, are fearing persecution. Adam Driver needs to never, ever, tuck his hair behind his ears. Ever.

One Tenet question (well one that am not content to believe I am just too dumb to get): Why was she not inverted, when she killed Sator? She didn't need oxygen, so she wasn't inverted. Yet she was occupying the same temporal space as herself, so she was inverted. Or was she permitted to "conventionally" time travel somehow, and I missed it?
