■ Primary Axis

  • Entry: Investigation Without Stable Reality
     Reason: The search begins as a personal case but dissolves into unstable networks of power, memory, and deception.
     Related Film: The Long Goodbye
  • Middle: Counterculture Against Systemic Absorption
     Reason: What appears as individual freedom is gradually enclosed by institutions, money, surveillance, and control.
     Related Film: Chinatown
  • Core: Love as Trace in a Vanishing World
     Reason: The emotional center survives only as a fragile remainder inside a world that cannot be fully clarified or restored.
     Related Film: The Big Lebowski

■ Secondary Axes

  • Paranoia as Social Map: Confusion becomes the only available way to perceive hidden structures of power.
     Related Film: The Conversation
  • Private Loss as Historical Transition: A personal disappearance reflects the end of an entire cultural moment.
