■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Viewer as powerless self
Reason: The protagonist begins as an ordinary watcher whose desired heroic identity exists only as fantasy.
Related Film: The Purple Rose of Cairo - Middle: Film-world as trial
Reason: Entering cinematic illusion turns passive desire into unstable training through danger and transformation.
Related Film: The Wizard of Oz - Core: Fantasy returning to action
Reason: The imagined heroic role becomes meaningful only when translated back into real conduct.

■ Secondary Axes
- Image crossing: The boundary between screen and life becomes a mechanism for testing identity.
Related Film: Last Action Hero - Performance of competence: A weak social self becomes capable through enacted form rather than inner declaration.
