Many of us have different views on movie going and watching of DVD's. Well TBH we are all sinners and loong before TV there was books and travelling shows ,plays ETC to entertain us. There are alot of Christian movies out there and good Non-Christian ( who decides?) which relate to the evils of society and people fighting for a better cause. The people making these movies are being forthright and doing what they enjoy. We all have to be accountable for our actions and careful not to lead into thoughts or feelings after watching these things. I say watch the movie and always guard your hearts and minds that it is only entertainment nothing else. BTW there are alot of great christian movies out there I.E "flywheel" " facing the giants" and " the climb" so there are good alternatives and always remember we all suffer in some way or another with vices . I pray everyday for your sins and shortcomings if you have sinned and repented daily that makes for an honest approach I think GOD bless.
Sorta of an exaggeration but still. They filled up their needs for entertainment in other ways.People in ages before had to work a lot and did not have the luxury of entertainment. During the Middle Ages, they seemed to get rid of their boredrom by fighting with each other, in contests or war.
Yeah, unless you were a knight or noble. Then you could entertain yourself with feasts, jousts, and collecting plunder(not exactly the best moral thing thoughThere were a bunch of entertainers, like ministrels, bards, other.
I'm not saying we won't have things like that in Heaven, merely that we have a limited time to do God's work while on Earth and unlimited time to enjoy Heaven. We need to use as much of our time on Earth as wisely as possible.There is nothing wrong with spending some time watching good entertainment. I'm sure in heaven we will spend time doing trivial things. If you enjoy watching T.V. and movies, and don't allow it to take up all your time then I don't see anything wrong with it. Same thing goes for reading books, listening to music, playing sports ect. Without those things, we would be bored out of our minds and would have to invent stuff to do to keeps us busy.
Agreed..But was that all for the better? I mean, when we look at society as a whole today with all of our luxuries and spare time..Is it not more sinful? We now have vast more amounts of ways to sin, and an easier accessibility for it. I would say that our extra spare time is less of a progression, to me honest. Many people will be lead astray because of all of the easy temptation.Sorta of an exaggeration but still. They filled up their needs for entertainment in other ways.

Not to discredit that people didn't have their own temptations back then, but can you really see this world as 'improving' because we have more luxury?
Well yes, but they mostly did house work like cooking sewing ect. The Middle Ages is not known for woman's rights. But there was Joan of Ark, sooo.What did the women do back then? Just serve beer and smoosh everything with girdles?

We do need to use our time wisely, but that doesn't mean that we can't watch a movie, read a book, or watch T.V. You have to be able to enjoy life or else it is not worth living. Entertainment is one way to enjoy life although it does not bring you true happiness. Only God can do that.
If I had my choice of being a beer wench or burning at the stake, I think I'd have to choose the wench part.
They had a lot of babies back then too, without pain killer.
Glad to be in the here and now I must say.
