Yes. It is very interesting.

You may find this interesting.
Dear Bahá’í Friend,
Your email letter of 7 December 2007 requesting guidance has been received by
the
Universal House of Justice and referred to our Department for response.
Your letter seeks guidance concerning films and television programmes that a
Bahá’í
should watch. However, it is neither possible nor desirable for the Universal
House of Justice
to set forth a set of rules covering every situation a believer encounters
daily. Rather is it the
task of the individual believer to determine, according to his own prayerful
understanding of
the Writings, precisely what his course of conduct should be in relation to
situations in which
he finds himself. If he is to fulfil his true mission in life as a follower
of the Blessed Perfection,
he will pattern his conduct according to the Teachings. The believer cannot
attain this objective
merely by living according to a set of rigid regulations. When his life is
oriented towards service
to Bahá’u’lláh, and when every conscious act is performed within this frame
of reference, he
will not fail to achieve his true purpose.
Therefore, every believer must continually study the Sacred Writings and the
instructions
of the beloved Guardian, striving always to achieve a new and better
understanding of their
import to him and to his society. He should pray fervently for Divine
guidance, wisdom and
strength to do what is pleasing to God and to serve Him at all times and to
the best of his ability.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Department of the Secretariat
