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.

Crying Fist (2005)
A drama by Ryu Seung-Wan.
2 boxers are down on their luck. One is in prison and the other is destitute with poverty. They both attend the same tournament and end up fighting each other in the final match.
It wasn't as depressing as I thought it would be. The switches between characters boggled things up and a dark style couldn't develop because of this. I also thought that the boxing should have been more of an Asian style, with elbows and knees applied liberally. The plot lines were as brutally tragic as advertised, but lost their momentum when switching between characters. I'm rating this o.k. because I think it deserved to be made better.
