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.

Hero (2002)
A wuxia directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Jet Li and Zhang Ziyi.
A warrior goes to the king, claiming to have killed all 3 of the assassins that were going to make attempts on the king's life. He tells the story of what happened.
This film is very similar to CTHD in style. They are both very pretty and include lots of flying sword fights. My favorite battle is the one in the tea house. I also like the scene at the calligraphy school. If you like CTHD, you'll like this and the next film that I'm about to review. I'm rating this good.
