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.

Bicentennial Man (1999)
A science fiction drama directed by Chris Columbus, starring Robin Williams and Sam Neill.
A family buys a robot and by some accident, he has human emotions. The family encourages him to learn new things and to be more human and eventually the father grants the robot freedom. He goes to search for any robots like him, but finds none. What he does find is a robot modification expert who upgrades him to be more human. He then resumes contact with the descendents of the family who originally bought him.
This is a surprising turn for Robin Williams, in that he is not working for the Disney corporation on this film. It is, however, what I like to call "new movie perfect" and very sentimental. The term "new movie perfect" describes that attribute of newer films that is so emotional and seemingly epic that it must be fake. The characters and plot are too good and the style and pacing are immaculate. This film was made this way for a reason! That reason is to indoctrinate! When the father gets into his car, it greets him and tells him weather conditions. The family is super-rich, but the father is what? A clock maker? It doesn't make sense. Time is the one thing that we are supposed to believe to be static, but people have been screwing around with it for ages. Roman emperors created months to glorify their names for Christ's sake (the church effed around with the calendar too). Robots become human and humans become robotic (the judge has a robotic liver). Look up transhumanism for examples of this. These are signs of the coming new world order! This is what we call predictive programming. You see these movies all the time with subtle hints at Orwellian concepts and dismiss it as fiction. After enough hinting in fiction, when it really happens, nobody is surprised and nobody reacts. The Illuminati LOVE this! When they want to kill 95% of us, we'll all say "oh, I saw that in a movie. It's o.k.". WAKE UP! IT'S FUCKING REAL! Back to the movie, I'm rating it adequate because the entertainment value is good, but the implications of the ideas within are evil.
