The Last Of Us Part 1 Recap

Ok in order to fully understand the storyline and general meaning behind the series, we have to travel back to the first game and talk about the thematic elements of that. The Last Of Us Part 1 was very much about breaking a cycle and this was shown predominantly through the eyes of Joel.

When the Cordysep outbreak first happened Joel tried to flee with his brother Tommy and Daughter Sarah, however she was killed by a member of the military and Joel very much spent the next chapter of his life grieving and angry at the world.



A feeling of hope came back when he was given the task of escorting Ellie to the Fireflies. Ellie was a young girl much like his daughter who was actually revealed to be immune to the virus. The Fireflies claimed to be able to extract the cure from her but upon finally arriving at their facility, Joel learned that she would die during the process.

Rather than go through the same thing again in which a member of the military would literally once more take away his daughter, Joel broke the cycle, killed the majority of the fireflies and surgoens and then fled with Ellie. Joel lied to her and told her that they weren’t able to extract the cure and Ellie bought it.

They returned to Joel’s brother Tommy and this is where the opening of Part 2 picks up.

Now before we get into the full breakdown we have to bear in mind this idea of cycles and breaking them. Though I don’t think that The Last Of Us Part 2 pulls off the theme as well as the prior entry, and I don’t think it really does it that well at all, I’m gonna remove my personal opinion from things for the mean time and just discuss the main elements of the storyline and what they actually mean.

There are several perspective changes and the events of the storyline jump back and forth between characters at several points so to keep things streamlined I’ll try and do everything in the order that makes the most sense. There’s also certain things from the trailer that were changed for the game and it’s clear that they tried to hide certain deaths as best they could.

Obviously let me know your thoughts on the storyline in the comments as we go through it but there’s a lot to talk about and the idea an eye for an eye leading to both people losing their sight is laced throughout the plot.

We open with Joel telling Tommy the truth about what happens as he cleans up his Guitar. Tommy is clearly horrified at what his brother as done but after Joel explains that he saved her life, he slowly sees things from his perspective and understands why he took the path he did without condoning.

Joel visits Ellie and gifts her his guitar, playing her the song Future Days which somewhat becomes his theme and ties massively into the end. The idea of cycles is very much highlighted by the game opening on this image of the guitar and butterfly stamp as it closes on it too, hinting at things coming full circle before a character breaks away from them.



We then get a huge four year time jump and alongside Ellie we are introduced to Jesse and Deena, a pair that have recently broken up. Ellie and Dinah clearly have a thing for one another and a kiss between the pair eventually lead to homophobia being thrown their way by a bartender. Joel steps in and saves Ellie and we learn throughout the story that Ellie actually journeyed to the hospital in which the fireflies were stationed at in the first game.
