TENET And A Celebration Of Vibes Movies

So I stumbled upon this really cool article I think you’d be interested in! It’s all about TENET, that new Christopher Nolan movie, and how it celebrates “vibes movies”. Essentially, “vibes movies” are films that rely less on plot and more on atmosphere, style, and feeling to immerse the viewer in a certain vibe or mood.

The article talks about how TENET is similar to other vibes movies from the past, like Blade Runner and Heat, in that it values atmosphere and style over a traditional plot structure. Instead of spelling everything out for the audience, the film invites them to engage with the story on a more intuitive level, allowing them to experience the film’s vibes and emotions in a much more visceral way.

Personally, I love movies like this! I always appreciate when filmmakers trust the audience to draw their own conclusions and don’t feel the need to spoon-feed everything to us. It’s like they’re saying “hey, we know you’re smart, we don’t need to explain everything.” Plus, I’m a sucker for a good mood piece - it’s so immersive and more engaging than just watching a plot play out beat by beat.

Overall, I think it’s really interesting to see how TENET fits into this lineage of vibes movies, and how it’s continuing this tradition in new and innovative ways. Definitely worth checking out for anyone who’s a fan of more impressionistic storytelling or just wants to experience a film on a more emotional level!
