关于艾莉最后放手,我转贴一个resetera用户EatChidren的解读
怕词不达意,我就不翻译了。
Joel is stating that no amount of revisionist history would change his choice. He'd do the same act over and over. The reason this memory takes place is because Ellie never really came to terms with what Joel did and why, and her blame, anger, and frustration lead to them distancing in the final years of his life. During these scene Ellie makes a step of progress to extend an olive branch and try and begin a reconciliation process, which is also her trying to understand what he did or empathise with it even if there's still a fundamental disagreeance. Empathy would shift her anger and frustration from seeing Joel as someone who robbed her of a future, or as a selfish villain, to someone who committed the act out of love even if still a violent, questionable, morally ambiguous act in of itself.
The reason this takes place towards the end of the story and Joel drives home that he is 100% sure of himself in the memory is that it takes Ellie towards the end to finally come to terms with this. Ellie spends most of the game committing acts of absolute monstrous inhumane violence in the name of frustration and love. They're awful, they're irredeemable, but it is only in the climax that it hits her that this expression of love is precisely what drove Joel also to do what he did, and so she realises that Joel really did love her. The reconciliation is post mortem, Joel is dead and that'll never change, but Ellie has developed a sense of awareness of Joel's actions that she was once so angry about. And, in turn, is able to stop herself from doing more than necessary.
Ellie's memories of Joel are thus no longer violent and unfinished, laden with frustration and confusion and guilt, and instead replaced with memories of how much he loved her.
