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.

The Fall (2006)
An adventure directed by Tarsem Singh.
An man in a hospital tells a story to a little girl about a group of bandits who all want revenge on the same villain.
This film opens with a confusing scene of men and a horse in water under some train tracks and then moves on to the most horrifyingly disgusting sound in the world, a baby crying. My hopes went down the tubes at that point. Then the man with broken legs started telling the girl with a broken arm a REAL story. From that point on, it got really good really fast. The plot was great and there were some beautiful settings. I'm rating it good, as this is the solid goal that movies should aim for.
