The Legend of Destruction
Question
Is it permitted to watch the film in a movie theater during the Nine Days, since it deals with the destruction of the Temple? And on Tisha B’Av itself?
Answer
Why not? Even on Tisha B’Av itself, I don’t see any prohibition in this. On the contrary, it’s like studying Josephus or the Sages’ legends about the destruction.
