      I’d say less, because the movie makes itself completely clear that it’s a fable about power and greed.

        Tenet is pretty much about power and greed too. Sator’s greed for power. And hatred for the world we live in.

        The backstory of him being helped (and commanded) by people from the future who want to reverse time because we fucked up the planet and therefore life in the future is shit, is pretty much just about climate change.

        The movie wasn’t that deep tbh. Nolan throws in some time inversion stuff for the wow factor and because it looks cool, but tbh it’s just “let’s blow up the world to fix a big problem” (classic case of a villain with a relatable goal) vs the good guys with “the world has loads of people living in it, we can’t just blow it up”.

        Personally I liked it. Don’t think it was a cinematic masterpiece you need to be incredibly cultured to understand or anything though.

      The reception of it appears to be, but prob only because Coppola is seen as more prestigious by critics because he never made a batman movie.

        I don’t think Batman makes Nolan any less prestigious. It might even make him moreso, if only because of The Dark Knight. He was able to pour even more money into whatever he wanted to after that.

        He’s still one of the few directors that have full control over their movies.
