■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Life as a protected value
Reason: The surrounding world treats life as something that must be preserved regardless of the person’s own verdict.
Related Film: Amour - Middle: Care as love or confinement
Reason: Affection becomes ethically unstable when it protects the person while denying his chosen boundary.
Related Film: Me Before You - Core: Dignity against biological survival
Reason: The central conflict is not death itself but whether continued existence without chosen agency can still be called life.
