Did you know . . . ? India often produces more than a thousand films a year​—many more than any other country.

What to avoid. Many movies promote values that are contrary to Bible standards. Some feature graphic sex and violence, while others include supernatural themes. But the Bible says: “Put them all away from you, wrath, anger, badness, abusive speech, and obscene talk.” (Colossians 3:8) Furthermore, God condemns any acts that are associated with spiritism.​—Deuteronomy 18:10-13.

How to be selective. “If the trailer doesn’t seem appropriate, I won’t watch the movie.”​—Jerrine.

“I never take someone’s recommendation unless I know for a fact that the person has the same values as I have.”​—Caitlyn.

“If I’m watching a movie in the theater and I start to feel uncomfortable with the content, I will walk out.”​—Marina.

“To help me know more about content, I use an Internet site that reports the level of sex, violence, and profanity in each movie.”​—Natasha.

Tip: Look for films that are less likely to contain objectionable material. “I thoroughly enjoy period pieces​—movies based on classic literature,” says a teen named Masami.
