– is currently the most spectacular palindrome of our global world. A palindromic square of a word can be read in any direction (right, left, top, bottom), but this is not a necessary feature of word squares. Christopher Nolan’s novelty entered cinemas and immediately became the most important film of the year in the eyes of many viewers. True, the competition was not great, but it must be acknowledged that Nolan – at least from a purely technical point of view – always offers a fascinating spectacle. A word square is a pun where several words of the same length are inscribed in a square in which the same word is formed in rows and columns. An agent without a past or a future, caught here and now, dryly pursuing his goal. Plus, in a story about a rich lunatic who wants to destroy the whole world again. Quarter circle. Unpopular view: Why Tenet is Christopher Nolan’s weakest film. Sator – planter, sower. Arepo – is not a Latin word, but usually translated as a name, Arepo. Tenet – dogma, possession. Opera – work, hard work, care. Rotas – wheels, turn. And this meaning is slightly intertwined with the plot of the film. Overall rating 90%. Imagination as a frame of escapist content.
