■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Can a closed order control desire by law
Reason: The group’s rules are weakened by an attraction they cannot officially name
Related Film: Beau Travail - Middle: Can beauty become a force that exposes institutional fragility
Reason: The recruit’s presence converts hierarchy into rivalry, suspicion, and disorder
Related Film: Death in Venice - Core: Can martial discipline survive when the forbidden becomes internal to the group
Reason: The code collapses not from external attack but from desire inside its own structure
Related Film: Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
■ Secondary Axes
- Desire as violence: Repressed attraction becomes indistinguishable from domination and threat
Related Film: Querelle - Code as self-destruction: Aestheticized discipline turns identity into ritualized death
