But todays line reading is fromTenet.
I saw this movie a week ago, but one line has evicted every other thought from my head.
ThisTenetline has manifest destinyd my mind.
There is not a lot inTenetto be awed by.
A pair of spies rush toward the future (or the past?)
to save the world from certain destruction.
A maligned wife is held prisoner by her husband.
But theres something inTenetthat souncharacteristicfor Nolan that it made me gasp inside my mask.
Brooks Brothers, Caine says, is not going to cut it.
When they offer him a menu, its like they doubt he will be able to read it.
For all this high-falutin talk, the tony restaurant, the Brooks Brothers drag RIP!
Caine slides a shopping bag across the table.
JDW raises his eyebrows.
Youre carrying a Goya?
he asks, in a Harrods bag?
The Goyas a dupe, but that shade is real.
Those two syllables Har-rods are fighting for their lives to get out of John David Washingtons mouth!
The condescension in that scene youd think Harrods just filed for bankruptcy, not Brooks Brothers!
What does Nolan have against the London department store?
Who hurt him there, or who there hurt him?
And by that I mean: the worst place on the face of the fucking earth.
(Poor Goya, I guess?
Im not sure he deserved this.)
Including my son, she ponders aloud.)
She and JDW arent in love, but might have crushes on one another bubbling just below the surface?
No one in this movie even gets particularly angry.
That glimpse of bitchiness Youre carrying a Goya?
In a Harrods bag?
Its House of Woodcock redux.
Its positively Massie Block.
Its a moment most pleasing to me in Christopher Nolans career.
Its a flicker of humanity that does more to tetherTenetto the material world than anything else in the film.
