■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Can looking become violence
Reason: The gaze is not passive observation but the first mechanism of harm.
Related Film: Rear Window - Middle: Can the camera preserve trauma by repeating it
Reason: Filming becomes a ritual that reproduces the wound rather than recording reality.
Related Film: Videodrome - Core: Can cinema expose the viewer’s complicity in desire
Reason: The act of watching is folded into the same structure that produces fear and death.
Related Film: Man Bites Dog
■ Secondary Axes
