Lost - Chronological Flashbacks - John Locke Part 1

[@happinesshotel5375]

John had the saddest story. I always felt bad for John.

[@acdragonrider]

John Locke is absolutely one of my favorite characters in LOST.

[@boshankers12]

When he realises his father stole his kidney, that part breaks my heart. One of the few things I've watched on tv or in a movie that is truly devastating. John Locke was the best character in this.

[@Rocky2418]

I absolutely agree. Heartbreaking, and Locke is hands down my favorite character - and the one I can relate to the most.

[@masterofdragons82]

Agreed

[@Dana_inc]

I can identify with Locke!

[@jimmy2k4o]

These flashbacks are so frustrating because the others were actively trying to recruit John all his life but to be the person the island needed meant he had to let the rest of the world kick him around for a few decades.

[@5i.260]

21:57 "No, he wouldn't do this to me!". The way this line was delievered..and music...i cried at this moment, ngl. Poor John

[@jigsaw331]

Lived such a sad life. Grew up with no parents as an orphan, then people doubting him as he got older. Was lonely, couldn't find love until Helen, but then she didn't believe in him either. Found his parents only to them setting him up to steal his Kidney, then leaving him (again). Can't stand living, still looking for his father, but gets pushed out of a window. Loses feelings in his legs, then horrible job, dick of a boss Still feels like he can do anything, then gets denied by Helen and wont be aloud on Walkabout. Then Jacob brings him to the Island. He feels like this is his meaning of life, but then loses hope, only to try to get everyone to come back, but fails, so trys to kill himself. Ben stops him, then he gets murdered. At least he moved on in peace.

[@AA-uw9om]

Jigsaw yeah his life was not so great His time in the marijuana farm seemed good though for him Lol lost is so good...

[@itayschmidt1601]

I'm so angry that the smoke monster used his body. As jack said it's so disrespectful! John was the only one who actually thaught that the island is not pure evil and that they where brought there so Jacob help them understand that their life is not lost.

[@maliknova6063]

John Locke is a Man of Destiny

[@frankdodd3355]

This week on John Locke...he gets screwed...err...again.

[@EhCanadianGamer]

Okay, just throwing this out there. Why hasn't anybody made a show where each episode would explore the life of someone, just anyone? Like in this exact format? Just jumping forward in time. I mean yeah I can see how it can be repetitive if each episode would start at the birth and end at death. I mean it doesn't have to show the literal beginning, middle, and end of someone's life. It can literally start at any point in someones life, I feel like this format can be a great way to explore character. I mean seriously, the format alone already sucks you in, but it still requires great writing.

[@arcanusluvalus1388]

His dad is the devil, joking about being god when John states his mothers words of being immaculately conceived.

[@serenahopeisabella2226]

my favorite character

[@arcanusluvalus1388]

Johns mother abandoned him in the hospital as a baby thinking he had gotten adopted the whole time, her eyes widened when she realized that he never had family or experienced the life she thought he had left him, her eyes show that she left her son with nothing. He was then abandoned in the hospital by his his father after having his kidney stolen by his father. Both parents abandoned John in his most vulnerable moments, hence why the counselor told him there wouldn’t be a happy ending.

[@OscarMemo333]

6:18 he choosed the knife because it was his...the clockwatch was from...RICHARD.

[@masterofdragons82]

I kept saying this and some people use this to try to "debunk" that he isn't special. Apparently they just forgot he had dreams about the future *the same dreams that walt had when he was sorta at locke age when this happened* and I think we can all agree walt was special. Plus, he choose the knife because that's what he is.

[@sambowman5974]

the flashbacks with locke at the weed commune is after locke and helen split up, so this isn't chronological

[@The_Ghost_Gaming]

Oh man, the scene when John first talks to his mom. i didn't notice the kid sprung the trap on the game.

[@masterofreality5528]

Why did they conspire to trow him out of the window?

[@brandnubian11]

The song is called Everyday by Buddy Holly

[@tatianesantiago639]

He was sooooo cool, in a normal "lost in a island" situation he would be such a badass, he was a good man and a great hunter/lider, killing him like that was a waste

[@idiot_city5444]

He had to die for Jack to believe tho

[@albanovkonrad]

Commune flashbacks are supposed to take place after he lived with Helen.

[@JoviBootlegs90]

Really nice work. Looking forward to viewing the other parts.

His live was fucking bad and sad ;(

[@Project_mayhem94]

Poor John! No-one believed him. 🥺

[@MegaSnippezz]

All of it happened for a reason, as everything in LOST does. It all lead to the moment that plane crashed on that island, they were chosen from the start.

[@YodatheHobbit]

Yep. John died to inspire Jack to have faith which lead to him keeping sure the island survived. Poor John. He essentially was a guide for Jack.

[@malaisto925]

8:30 That teacher was probably the only good adult figure young Locke ever had. If only he had listened to him he could have had a better life.

[@graemedaulby4820]

I just notice when i watched for a second time, when the cop stopped them for the tail light, they were doing a check that Eddie had found the right person. Isn't that what a hitchhiker would say? "he's my uncle". Eddie was supposed to find him, thus was not arrested. .

[@thelavinator6343]

Those cheerleaders laughed at him as a kid, but if they met him on the island they seriously wouldve been melting. They would have become major perverts, trying desperately to hook up with Locke. Odds are they wouldnt have had a shot though

[@paul4760]

john locke made this show for me i was losing hope in the show till the 1st season episode 4 .. then he proved him self in the moth episode...but hurley was pretty dam awesome to

[@danielhicks4826]

Super tragic even more so that he didn't pass Richards/Jacobs test when he was a kid he coulda gone to the Island right then and there!. But I guess if he did that he wouldn't get to build his character/faith/and strengths through adversity.

[@Proclifo]

Isn't this a bit of a paradox? Richard visits John Locke because John Locke travels back in time and tells Richard to visit him. Is he really that special, or did he do it all by himself? I don't understand.

[@2deepy]

+ProClifo Yes, the island always seeped into John's life because of the time travel fiasco. Just like how in the timeline, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, etc. were ALWAYS in the Dharma Initiative in the year 1977, it's just that their presents got their after they crashed on the island (I know I'm making this sound very confusing, but it's pretty cool to think about.)

[@eclipseproductions2675]

He manifests his own destiny simply because he was told to believe in himself. To believe he is truly special. Whether he is or not is completely left to interpretation.

John appeared to Richard in the past in the 1950's and told him to come and visit him when he was born in 1956. John gave Richard the compass. Richard thought John would pick the compass him gave him but he didn't because John doesn't know his future self comes to visit Richard yet.

[@masterofdragons82]

@@YodatheHobbit Plus, why would he pick the compass? Didn't the smoke monster give richard the compass? I mean, you might say that's because locke had it when richard gave it to him but he gave it back in the 1950's so theres not way he could have had it. Plus hwo could the smoke monster could have got it? The knife is the reasonable choice
