DaasYochid- But lets say you can be mosiach daas. I still want to figure out if we can apply that Gemara to movies.

nolongersingle-I think there can be more of a push for leniency when it comes to movies. As I quoted before Rav Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld tz”l is lenient when it comes to a picture. So I think we can possibly get a bit lomdish. By a real woman there is an issur don’t look, you can have hirhur. But if you need to go somewhere for a good reason, then go and be mosiach daas. By a movie, there is no issur to look, it is not anything really. But what is the problem-hirhur. Stam Hirhur. Not Hirhur connected to seeing a woman. So maybe we don’t need Lev Darka Achrina and all that bec. that only applies whenever we have an actual issur of looking at woman but by a screen there is no issur of looking at woman.

This is not the best savara and doesn’t really shtim, in my opinion with the Gemara, Rav Ovadia Yosef tz”l brings down (Yechovie Daas 4:7, I cited it from Rabbi Hoffman before), but it is a possible svara.
