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.

BA:BO (2008)
A drama directed by Kim Jeong-Kwon.
A mentally handicapped young man runs a toast stand and takes care of his younger sister. An old friend of his from school returns to their hometown where they are reunited. The main character's best friend gets in trouble with a gangster and his sister gets sick. The mentally handicapped man tries to help them.
This has a surprise tragic ending that makes the film worth while. The characters were all good and the actors playing them did so very convincingly. I didn't like the plot at first, but by the end of the film, I had changed my mind. I'm rating this good.
