Ellie | The Last of Us

***
SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US PART II.
“I don't think I can ever forgive you for that, but I would like to try.”

As you all probably know, I'm making only videos about movies and shows. But the story of The Last of Us has always been something that spoke really deep inside of me. And with the release of The Last of Us Part II. I really thought It would be time to try something new, and get out of my comfort zone. I can do nothing but applause every members at Naughty Dog who worked hard on this piece of art.

Thank you all for watching, It's been a while without video, but I'm back on the work and going to work really hard for you guys, as always.
Massive respect to Ash an amazing, caring friend who helped me by collecting the scenes I needed in order to create this video.

The night before Joel died Ellie said she would like to try and forgive him, on the day he died they were going to watch a movie together and rebuild their relationship, it's heartbreaking.

I'm just glad Ellie and Joel's last interactions wasn't just the torture scene. I'm glad Joel got to hear that Ellie was willing to forgive him. He was very happy to hear that.

“Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.”

This game hurt like hell, but loved every second of it.

"im scared of ending up alone"
The feels after last of us 2 ending 😭

[skye]

When Joel says “If somehow the Lord gave me a second chance at that moment... i would do it all over again“ ... this hits me hard.

I'm crying like a small baby... Great work

The saddest thing is when you realise the reason why Ellie couldn't finish Joel's song throughout the game is that she lost herself when she lost him

[SugarWthCffee]

It felt so realistic I thought I literally lost Joel like he was a loved one in my family. It’s been 1 week since the release day that I’ve played the game and I still have it running through my mind as if I’m depressed with grief like Ellie. I haven’t ever been hit this hard emotionally deep by any game or film. The game is neither good nor bad, it’s a depiction of life. Hold your loved ones close, and always make sure they know how much you love them. This game just breaks my heart man.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."

[fih]

A cruel game but full of love.
A sad story but full of joy.
A story of a revenge that turns out to be full of forgiveness and redemption.

"If I ever were to lose you
I'd surely lose myself"

is pretty god damn fitting.

[pipeanp]

Ellie realizes in the few moments where she is about to kill Abby that she can now see Joel. Not the bloodied, beaten, dead man but actually see him. The way she used to in her memories. The way she’s longed so badly to see him. The father figure in her mind, in her memories. In the last second when Ellie decides to let Abby go, she realizes she wanted to forgive Joel. She learned she could move on.

[ryanthrelfall]

Remember when Joel said to Ellie
"You have no idea what loss is"
Now she does

[no_rust_]

The first game ends with a happy lie.
The second game ends with a sad truth.

[leonardosouza]

I'm not an very emotional person, after I finished the game, I cried a bit, but after watching this video, my friend....

[takeitslowly]

They said this would be a game about revenge, but in the end it was all about forgiveness. Thanks for making me cry once again at this perhaps flawed, but magnificent game.

[nothinmuch]

The most saddest and beautiful game I've ever played in my whole life.

Joel was not selfish, Joel has a fear like Ellie too, afraid of ending up alone. The most saddest part of this game, is that Ellie's biggest fear of ending up alone became true, and the part that Joel telling Ellie he would do it all over again if he had a second chance. The only thing I learned in this game, is that the hardest part of losing someone is not saying goodbye, but learning to live without them.

[laurianejoly]

I think a lot of people missed what the actual goal of the game was. It was never about killing Abby, it was about Ellie grieving Joel and getting over his death. During the whole game, Ellie thinks that she will only get that by killing Abby, but it's only at the very end, when she's about to do it that she realizes that it's not.
