In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

days of heaven (1978)
an early american drama directed by terrence malick this film follows 3 siblings through the landscape of early 1900s america. the youngest sister narrates the story. they start out in chicago where the brother has a job at a factory and the 2 sisters live with him on the street. when the brother loses his job, they hop on top of a train and head for the country. they are picked up by a group heading for farm work. when the farm owner falls in love with the older sister, they end up staying at the farm. it was in english and the audio and video were both good. well, it's an ok film. fans of brad neely's babycakes series should watch this because the younger sister's narrative and voice remind me of babycakes. otherwise, people who like that early 1900s american theme would probably enjoy it.
