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.

Citizen Kane (1941)
A mystery by Orson Welles.
A rich politician and newspaper man dies. A team is sent to find out the meaning of his last words. Relevant pieces of his life are shown between scenes of the investigation.
The audio was o.k. The video was in black and white and in full screen.
check out: The dissonant jazz band at the picnic.
I seriously didn't get it. I've watched much stranger movies and understood the main concept better than this. Maybe rosebud is an old folks joke that young folks like me don't get. If you like old movies that are supposedly "the best ever made" (as wikipedia claimed this was), then you'll probably like this.
