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.

Lost in Translation (2003)
A romance by Sofia Coppola, starring Bill Muray and Scarlett Johansson.
A celebrity and an unsatisfied bride are bored in a Japanese hotel. They meet and become friends, developing an almost romantic relationship.
I normally don't go for romance, but this was a little different. I like Bill Murray as an actor and there was a little comedy involved. So, the plot and characters were alright. I think I liked the style best of all. The film did a good job of portraying a chance encounter of bored strangers developing an unexpected relationship. I was really surprised that there wasn't even an implied sex scene, but I think that made it classier. I'm rating this adequate.
