In the face of riots, everyone lost the right to choose.

"Lost 1971"—Although it is the first work, De Mante presents sophisticated action scenes and aesthetic styles with a deep foundation, especially the use of light, which closely fits the theme of "Lost", which is great. The first ten minutes was very flat. From the moment of the headshot, the audience was led into an extremely chaotic but orderly Belfast, Northern Ireland. For Chinese audiences, this is a relatively unfamiliar history. In that era when information was still underdeveloped, the term Northern Ireland might be labeled as riot, regional conflict, and terrorism, but when you follow the director’s lens, you will find that the war zone of civil unrest is far more than the frontal exchange of fire between ground forces. It is terrible, because in addition to bullets and killings, lies and betrayal are even more terrifying. After reading it, I can realize that peace is everyone's greatest blessing.

Captain Sandy Browning: [as the lieutanant and corporal barge into his office] Not now, Lieutenant, we're busy.
Lt. Armitage: I wondered if we could help with...
Captain Sandy Browning: [firmly] We are busy, Lieutenant.
Lt. Armitage: I do understand that, sir.
Corporal: [abruptly] Why aren't you out there lookin' for him?
Captain Sandy Browning: What?
Corporal: Why aren't you out there lookin' for him?
Captain Sandy Browning: Who?
Corporal: Hook. Private Hook. You probably know where they're taking...
Captain Sandy Browning: [shouts suddenly and gets up from the desk] Don't you fuckin' dare! I'm your fucking senior officer! Stand up straight!
[glares at the corporal and then says quietly to Armitage]
Captain Sandy Browning: You need to learn to control your men, Lieutenant. I am not here to clean up your fucking mistakes. Your men, your fucking responsibility, not mine.
Captain Sandy Browning, Lt. Armitage: [nervously] I'm asking for your help.
Captain Sandy Browning: [tosses Hook's dog tags to him] There you go. There's my help.
Lt. Armitage: Is he dead?
Captain Sandy Browning: We do not know. The situation is confused, to say the least. Now if you do not mind, we have work to do. Off you go.

C.O.: [after Lt. Armitage told him about Sergeant Leslie Lewis attempt to kill Gary Hook] It was a confused situation. In these circumstances, what you saw, what you think you saw, can be a very different thing to what actually happened. Do you understand?
Lt. Armitage: [Silence] .
C.O.: [firmly] Do you understand?
Lt. Armitage: Yes, sir.
