　　I hit the cinema the other day, and saw the debut of Tenet, a blend of action and sci-fi, which has been just screened recently, as the cinemas are finally allowed to reopen to public after the outbreak of Covid-19. It was said to be a big-budgeting movie, and it turned out to be a true blockbuster.

　　Now, I would like to brief you on the movie. The plots basically go like this: in a twilight world of international espionage, an unnamed CIA operative, known as The Protagonist, was recruited by a mysterious organization called Tenet to participate in a global assignment. The mission was to prevent a Russian oligarch from starting World War III. As a result, the Protagonist mastered the art of "time inversion" and avoided the war.

　　To tell you the truth, I found it hard to gather all the information at the first watch, since many scenes were like broken pieces to me. Tried as I may, it was still difficult to put all pieces together, and so I was baffled. But after watching it for a few times, the hidden elements, I mean, all those confusing scenes came to light. So you could say, it was a towering sensory riot that sent me out of the cinema, buzzing and rattled…What a joy, to feel that again after being cooped up at home for months due to the pandemic.

　　But, on the whole, it’s a thought-provoking film, not only in terms of the difficult concept-time inversion, but also the revelation of a terrifyingly gleaming future.
