Tenet Filminin Zaman Felsefesi Bağlamında İncelenmesi

Time is a concept that is an important structure of cinematography and is often discussed in film criticism. Time requires the inclusion of all sciences in an interdisciplinary study since there is no concrete definition for it. However, philosophy is the primary source aimed at problematizing the concept of time in an ontological dimension. Philosophy is a thought, and cinema lives within that thought, so looking at cinema from a philosophical point of view is one of the most important ways to understand cinema. The research aims to develop a philosophical perspective on Tenet directed by Christopher Nolan in 2020. In this direction, the research is limited to the concept of time and provides a theoretical framework for cinematic time and the philosophical dimension of time. In the film, time becomes cyclical by breaking out of linearity. So, the direction of the flow of time and the changeability of the direction of time, the place of such temporal operation in philosophy, is the problem of research. As a result of the philosophical criticism expressed from the perspective of the phenomenon of time, it can be noted that the film Tenet integrates into the plot the mysteries of the palindrome, which includes the Christian doctrine, the so-called Sator Square. The film treats the concept of time as the Grandfather Paradox. With the endless cycle in which past and future are interwoven, a reference to Jesus is made.
