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.

My Boss, My Hero (2001)
A south Korean comedy by Youn JK, starring Jung Joon-ho.
A mafia boss is discovered to be uneducated and is enrolled in High School. The school turns out to be run by a corrupt principal.
It felt like I was watching South Korean Seinfeld. There was sub-plot after sub-plot being added with no end in sight. I'm sure that something was lost or added in translation. Some of the humor was actually funny, like the teacher and mob dude watching the students' fight outside of school escalate to an over-done "action scene". Overall, I found it too jumbled. I'm rating it poor.
