This video essay is an analysis of Christopher Nolan's TENET and more specifically, how the film is an allegory to movie audiences through the portrayal of the protagonist. I examine how the film uses its concept and themes to explore this hidden message. There are heavy spoilers in this video.

John David Washington is the new Protagonist in Christopher Nolan’s original sci-fi action spectacle “Tenet.” Armed with only one word—Tenet—and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real-time. Not time travel. Inversion.
