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.

A Beautiful Mind (2001)
A drama directed by Ron Howard.
A math genius sees people who aren't there and gets involved in a plot that doesn't exist.
The audio and video were both good.
check out: John getting away with graffiti on the library windows.
It was a cool idea that didn't work out in the long run. The perspective shift in the middle of this film killed it for me. For half the movie, we're seeing it almost AS John, then it suddenly shifts to the unknown 3rd person view. If they had switched to Alicia and made it clear that was the new main character, it would have worked better. I really liked the beginning, but wish I had stopped watching when John got thrown in the mental hospital. It's an o.k. movie.
