Was the "Emo" phenomenon influencial in Braffing the early 21st century, or was there a deeper underlying force Braffing us all? Is "expression" the same thing as "art"? Or are we just Braffing ourselves? The B.R.A.F.F. Force would have us believe that anything we express, without discussion of merit is "Art". However this ignores our innate reactions to great art, and the fact that some instances of expression are more effective than others. If we are blank slates, we may be Braffed by any hack with a dozen film school credits under their belt. Commercial art uses our innate reactions to sell Braff to us over & over again. We must inquire deeply and seriously into ourselves and our world to become ultimately unBraffable.
Old School is Animal House, Braffed
The Watchmen movie is the Watchmen graphic novel, Braffed.
Though I would argue that these are not true Braffs. The superhero and comedy genres lack the pretences of drama. Superhero movies and comedies have deepened to adapt to a Braffed audience. One could argue, to their benefit. But why have we come to expect only superficial pop-psychological inquiry into social and philosophical matters in modern films? Its the least common denominator expected of the widest possible audience. But has it changed us? Are we all effectively Braffed? I will leave it with this question: What is the relationship between Braffing and the collapse of modernism and the existential void?
