■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Grief as forced awakening
Reason: Loss forces a passive father to confront the family reality he had avoided.
Related Film: Ordinary People - Middle: Betrayal inside mourning
Reason: The dying person cannot be confronted directly, leaving anger and love unresolved.
Related Film: In the Bedroom - Core: Inheritance as moral decision
Reason: Family legacy becomes a question of whether ownership should preserve life or consume it.
Related Film: A River Runs Through It
■ Secondary Axes
- Broken family repair: Emotional distance is reduced only through shared confrontation with irreversible loss.
