Hi Dan,

I don't know if it harms our brain and all that, but I know that I personally feel much better when I don't watch any movies for an extended period of time.

Could be because I'm a highly sensitive person and that movies just represent an input overload for me though. So I don't know. I just feel much more centered in myself and with greater clarity of mind when I avoid exposure to movies.

I can imagine that all those images, sounds, emotional situations etc. are very confusing for our brains indeed, especially because we absorb them passively.
