■ Primary Axis

  • Entry: Family as total system
     Reason: The home does not function as shelter but as a complete regime of meaning and obedience.
     Related Film: The Truman Show
  • Middle: Language as captivity
     Reason: Control is maintained by redefining words, danger, desire, and the limits of the world.
     Related Film: The Village
  • Core: Escape through self-violation
     Reason: Liberation requires the body to break the symbolic law imposed by the closed system.
     Related Film: Room

■ Secondary Axes

  • Social rules as artificial biology: Human behavior is distorted by rules presented as natural law.
     Related Film: The Lobster
  • Innocence produced by repression: Controlled upbringing does not preserve purity; it manufactures violence and deformity.
     Related Film: The White Ribbon
