zd: Not every Chumra or Hashkafa is for everyone.
This is a halacha not a chumra or hashkafa.
What if you fight the Yetzer Hora and Lose and get frustrated with the fight.
So don’t fight the Yetzer Hora and instead invite the Yetzer Hora into your home for a l’chaim?
There are plenty of frum people who go to the Movies.
There are plenty of frum people who do aveiros.
If one goes to the Movies at Sheepshead Bay on a Motzei Shabbos in the Winter you will see lots of young frum there (Flatbush types, not Borough park types). Clearly they are all not doing averiahs
Clearly they all are doing aveirahs.
I would agree that R Rated Movies are inappropirate.
All PG-13 rated movies are assur as well. That’s why even the gentiles admit those under 13 shouldn’t see it. And all PG rated movies are assur as well. That’s why even the gentiles admit you need parental permission. And virtually all G rated movies, especially those that aren’t all cartoon animation, are inappropriate as they minimally contain women dressed immodestly according to Jewish law and thus prohibited for men to look at. (That you can see such women in the street anyways is no excuse, since you have a heter to be in the street since you need to go in the street.) And almost all G movies likely have more prohibitions in addition to the immodesty.
I should hope the OP is not seeing the top movie in America today, that is totally inappropriate
You seem to know quite a bit. I don’t know what is popular today nor do I care which you speak of, but how are you so familiar with all the latest inappropriate stuff currently?
flatbusher: would be curious to know if it is indeed there is a psak that is an aveirah to see a movie that has no unclean content, or it’s just you.
Speak to any (at least half legitimate) pulpit rabbi and he’ll be able to relate to you at least half a dozen psaks that it is an aveira.
DY: You mean like chasunah videos?
If the chasunah video has women dancing or dressed inappropriately, men are prohibited from watching it.
