■ Primary Axis
- Entry: History as unstable identity
Reason: Personal identity is shaped by movement between incompatible cultural worlds rather than by a single origin.
Related Film: Dances with Wolves - Middle: Civilization as violence
Reason: The official language of progress is exposed through conquest, massacre, and moral inversion.
Related Film: Soldier Blue - Core: Myth destroyed by witness
Reason: The frontier legend collapses when history is seen through the body of one survivor rather than through national self-image.

■ Secondary Axes
- Demythologized heroism: Public legend is separated from historical truth through irony, spectacle, and institutional memory.
Related Film: Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull’s History Lesson - Captive belonging: Forced displacement becomes the path through which the subject discovers the moral fracture inside dominant society.
