| Barkley said: Actually yes there was indication that Ellie could die, maybe Joel didn't realise that but Ellie did from what I remember. Around the time of the scene with the giraffes it's pointed out that Ellie is acting weird and quiet, she knew she might not live. Whether you have the time to think or not, it's still a choice. As was lying to Ellie at the very end saying there were many more like her. And yes by your own admition there was the point at the elevator where he chose to ignore what Ellie would want. "It's what she'd want... And you know it." He did know it, and ignored her wishes. So it's weird to start a post with "Joel didn't make a choice" to later on say he did. xD Joel's decision was selfish and it was the wrong choice. I'm not saying that from a story point of view but from a human one. It's understandable, but selfish and short sighted. Like most good characters, he has flaws. |
Just, no, man. She was behaving like that because in the previous scene, David had tried to rape her. Or didn't you understand the 'He tried to ...' (fade out sound)?
Again, you're not being logical and understanding the scenes. Why do you think they only had ONE doctor in the surgery room and two nurses? Why do you think they made it so you HAD to kill the doctor? This clearly makes it possible for the player to consider the possibility that there wasn't anyone to operate now anyway. It's only symbolic because it could easily be said there would be other doctors, but that was the reason you were forced to kill the doctor. Come on, think clearly, man. Once the doctor was dead, THEN Neil could explore that question but that question was brought to Joel's attention by Tess and wasn't there beforehand.
This is why writers spend hours redrafting and moving paragraphs about.
