■ Primary Axis

  • Entry: The outsider as diagnosis
     Reason: The alien presence exposes ordinary human society as a system of appetite, spectacle, and spiritual exhaustion.
     Related Film: The Brother from Another Planet
  • Middle: Mission against absorption
     Reason: A salvational purpose is gradually neutralized by money, sexuality, media, dependency, and surveillance.
     Related Film: Starman
  • Core: Nonhuman innocence inside human corruption
     Reason: The central collapse occurs when the visitor does not conquer Earth, but is conquered by its systems.
     Related Film: Under the Skin

■ Secondary Axes

  • Exile without return: The subject is stranded between origin and destination, unable to fully belong to either world.
     Related Film: Solaris
  • Body as captivity: Otherness becomes trapped in a human-like form that turns contact into vulnerability and loss.
     Related Film: A.I. Artificial Intelligence
