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.

blowup (1966)
a drama mystery directed by michelangelo antonioni
a photographer is in the park taking pictures when he sees evidence of a murder.
the video was grainy as expected, but good. this film has "source music" or "diegetic" music by herbie hancock and the yardbirds. the definition of these terms is music that is generated by the story. a character turns on a tv or radio, goes to a concert, plays an instrument. the resulting sound is diegetic or source music. during the yardbirds' song, jeff beck's equipment malfunctions and he breaks his guitar.
check out: the mimes and the fate of mr. beck's guitar pieces.
I thought this was good. I didn't understand all of it completely, but I did enjoy it. if you're into "art films", weird movies, or strangeness, you'll like this as much as I did.
