■ Primary Axis
- Entry: The unqualified man as national agent
Reason: A figure structurally unsuited to elite espionage is placed inside the role of national defender.
Related Film: The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! - Middle: Failure disguised as confidence
Reason: The protagonist’s certainty repeatedly masks incompetence while still moving the mission forward.
Related Film: Get Smart - Core: Parody of institutional heroism
Reason: The conclusion restores the heroic spy role through comic collapse rather than genuine competence.

■ Secondary Axes
- Bureaucratic absurdity: National security systems fail because their procedures and symbols exceed their actual competence.
Related Film: Brazil - Accidental savior: Comic survival emerges from misunderstanding, luck, and misplaced authority.
