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.

Tales from Earthsea (2006)
an Anime directed by Goro Miyazaki.
A confused prince kills the king and runs off. He is rescued from wolves by an archmage who leaves him at a farm with 2 women. An evil wizard brainwashes the prince and takes the archmage and one of the women as prisoners.
This looked similar to Hayao Miyazaki's work because he was involved and Goro is his son. The plot was a little confusing, but the characters were good. There was some uncertainty about dragons popping out of nowhere at some points, but what do you expect from anime? The style was very good and reminded me of Hayao's work. I'm rating this good.
