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.

la haine (1995)
an urban drama written and directed by mathieu kassovitz
this film follows the adventures of a group of 3 young men in an urban police state. after a riot, it turns out that one of them stole a gun from the cops during the conflict. they spend their day in the company of fascist police squads and fellow hoodlums like themselves.
the video is in black and white. the audio is in french, but english subtitles are available.
I thought it was a little dull and the sayin character rubbed me the wrong way. I wouldn't recommend it.
