Recently, upon a recommendation by my father, I watched The 12th Man. This program focuses on the German occupation of Norway during World War II, although the main narrative is of a freedom fighter, Jan Baalsrud, who escapes and is assisted by many kind souls as he flees persecution. Again, the program contains images of violence, bellicosity, elitism--but these are well-balanced, I feel, by the positive images represented by Jan and his Good Samaritans.
I realize that I'm writing a lot in response to the replies here. I'll admit that I felt a little embarrassed for bringing up some TV show, but I'm not intending to be defensive--I simply want to elucidate why I made the post and affirm that it was with good intentions. I also feel that good can be found in many places. Eventually, and, perhaps, very soon, I'll have little desire or need to watch television. I used to play videogames, now, I play none. Do I regret the time spent? Not at all. Every single experience I have had is, in some sense or another, a blessing. Some experiences I draw upon frequently; others, not frequently at all. Each of us is free in a different way.
No need to feel embarrassed. We all have our quirks in our usage of time. When I was awakened to a wider Truth I stopped playing games for almost 1.5 years. These days I continue playing some, because I understood the value of many 3D based activities which are capable of leading to true joy experiences. However, it is a fine line between a habitual activity pattern and a balanced joy experience, discerning of which requires constant awareness and contemplation. I drop joyless actions much quicker these days. Still, we are here to experience 3D in its fullest, so whatever you do, no need to feel embarrassed, frustrated, angry etc. because of the usage of time here. Rather, try to find the joy and Love in these actions and thus begin living the now purified, distilled experiences.
Regarding the topic of movies and series': I recently saw the movie 'Solaris' for the first time, and thought it pretty high in concept and also enjoyed it much. Off the top of my head the movie 'Arrival' was also very good; Interestingly I've seen it before awakening and after awakening and I must say the wider perspective truly gives much capabilities for spotting the fine details in these workings.
