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.

Mysterious Skin (2004)
A drama by Gregg Araki.
2 boys are sexually abused by their baseball coach at a young age. As they are growing up, they lead opposite lives. When they are young men in college, they meet and one tells the other what really happened when they were children.
At first I was confused when the film switched from one boy to another, but eventually the plot developed and made sense. The style was decent and the film was well made. The characters and plot were done very well too. The subject matter isn't what I would normally watch though. For a well made film about homosexual pedophilia, I'm rating it o.k.
