Reply To: Should Tisha B’Av Be Movie Day?

Is bringing up what I perceive to be a widespread modern phenomenon loshon Horah? I don’t think so.
Should I contact the creators of a film & voice my objection to certain problems? I certainly did with my signed name & got no reply.
Let’s acknowledge that these films are being made for business reasons, kosher media is no different than kosher food products.
There is no rabbinic oversight to the content being shown & I decided to stop watching them after seeing inappropriate imagery one year.
Tisha B’av is a day of mourning the Churbon & lengthy golus. A film on Jewish themes with background music playing is inappropriate for an Avel in my humble opinion.
