■ Primary Axis

  • Entry: Can war become childhood experience before it becomes historical judgment?
     Reason: Destruction is filtered through a child’s immediate world of play and confusion.
     Related Film: Empire of the Sun
  • Middle: Does family life survive when history enters the home?
     Reason: War changes the household structure before the child can fully interpret it.
     Related Film: Belfast
  • Core: Can memory preserve wonder without denying catastrophe?
     Reason: Childhood recollection holds terror and vitality within the same frame.

■ Secondary Axes

  • Innocence under bombardment: War collapses into daily childhood rituals.
     Related Film: Grave of the Fireflies
  • History as disrupted education: The child learns the world through rupture rather than instruction.
