ruicothe other day i read a twitter thread and some replies about y2k (so long ago now!!) and today i happened to watch the movie tenet since my mom rented it and we needed smth to watch that wasnt the tv show she already started that i dont want spoilers for (bridgerton, looks fun!!). anyway i finished it at home, and the whole point of "the bomb that didn't go off" also made me think of the discussions regarding y2k, or even the current world situation whenever something goes better than feared and people say "why did we put in all these restrictions?" not considering that said restrictions might be the reason as to why it went better.
anyway, i really enjoyed tenet. my mom had already watched it and said it was good, almost bondlike, but a bit 'dark' (and not like *dark* dark, but like much more Serious). i absolutely love time travel stuff, though, and the theories behind, and while this didn't go into detail about it (which i honestly prefer in movies), it was super exciting.
I especially love scenes where something happens to a character and they later on realise that said thing happening was themselves or someone they knew who helped or changed the situation from the future. the fight between the main character and himself felt like a nightmare to shoot, but i liked the scene where neil saw him, and, much more importantly, LOVED the moment kat had to go to the yacht and realising she was going to be the free woman jumping off the boat that she had envied so much.
the movie wasn't as flashy as it could've been, but still pretty fun, the characters too. it was already pretty long for a movie, but i found myself wishing it was longer, or even a tv series.
it's super exciting to think about what happened that we don't know of, or rather, what *didn't* happen that we should know of, the things that could've changed the world as we know it. the time paradox stuff really fascinates me and is also part of what i loved about omniscient reader's viewpoint, a korean webnovel (and webtoon) that i don't think i've mentioned on here, but has been the owner of my heart for a few months now. hopefully more posts about that in the future, bc i really do want to start talking on here more often, even if it's mostly just for my own entertainment.
Happy new year, by the way!!! i really hope it's better than last year, i don't think the bar can get much lower than that though.
