Christopher Nolan has crafted yet another well executed mind bending film in Tenet. While in previous films, such as Inception, Nolan was able to balance plot development and character development, Tenet mainly focuses on its plot.

Legendary director Akira Kurosawa is able to execute a film better than any other director in the history of the medium. Kurosawa was inspired by the masters before him like Fritz Lang and John Ford, and now Kurosawa's influence can be seen far and wide. From Star Wars and Spaghetti Westerns to Pixar and Mad Max: Fury Road, Kurosawa's films…
