"After two and a half hours of mind-melting logic and a Casablanca-style ending, the film concludes with a heartwarming mother-son reunion and the Protagonist announcing he's the Protagonist before cutting to the Travis Scott song “The Plan.” It’s an otherwise inexplicable moment - a bizarre needle drop from a director who almost never uses them. It was also a perfect encapsulation of what it felt like to watch Tenet. Confusing, but also kind of awesome."
"Of course, Scott didn't just pop in out of nowhere at the end of Tenet: Composer Ludwig Göransson made the suggestion that the film required a “new” sensation at the end, not just a reprise of the score's themes. Nolan went on to invite Scott to a screening, and the two really connected over the film."
"In a new interview with Time, Nolan discussed his desire to bring Scott into the world of Ancient Greece, where he's playing a bard. “I cast him because I wanted to nod towards the idea that this story has been handed down as oral poetry, which is analogous to rap,” Nolan explains. Does that mean Scott will rap in The Odyssey? Unfortunately, there's no way to know just yet."
"Nolan has a reputation for being self-serious and distant in his works, but his repeated use of musicians in his films suggests an appreciation for artists across all mediums, or at least pop stars, for lack of a better phrase. David Bowie gives an incredible turn as Nikola Tesla in The Prestige, and who could forget Harry Styles in Dunkirk?"
A Tenet ending includes a heartwarming mother-son reunion followed by a sudden Travis Scott song, creating a confusing yet exciting feeling. Composer Ludwig Göransson suggested adding a “new” sensation at the end rather than replaying existing score themes. Nolan invited Scott to a screening and they connected over the film. Nolan later casts Scott in The Odyssey as a bard in Ancient Greece, aiming to nod to stories passed down as oral poetry, analogous to rap. It remains unclear whether Scott will rap in the film. Nolan’s use of musicians across his movies reflects an appreciation for artists from different mediums, including Bowie and Harry Styles.
