#TheLastOfUs #hbomax
The Last of Us doesn’t open with Joel and Ellie, it doesn’t open with Joel and Sarah, it doesn’t even open with an exciting cordyceps psycho chasing us, no it scares us in a much more personal way. We begin in 1968 with an epidemiologist talking about the dangers of global pandemics, a topic we’re all too familiar with. We then switch to a different epidemiologist who destabilizes us by saying he’s not so concerned with the type of bacterial or viral pandemic. What?? Who is this ignoramus? Then he proceeds to bring up a possibility we didn’t even know enough to fear: a fungal pandemic, that can spread faster, that can turn us into mindless automatons, and that can’t be cured. This is all exposition, typically a “bad writing” thing to do, but in this case the exposition speaks so personally to what it knows is its audience’s experience and feelings that it’s beyond compelling.
