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.

Reveal the interest struggle of small circles in the riots! The focus of the film is on the protagonist throughout the whole process, with no extra details. The editing is very tight! There is almost no room for the audience to catch their breath; a few scene-chasing photography shows people's blood swelling!

It is also a simple and straightforward story, which I love. Handheld photography, music, close-ups, handsome Jack O'Connell. It's just that his characters are always so miserable. There is a line that is very impressive, probably saying that the army is nasty cunts ask silly cunts to kill stupid cunts... It can also be regarded as the theme of the film.

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.
