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.

Persepolis (2007)
A French animated drama by Marjane Satrapi.
A young woman from Iran tells the story of her growing up in various countries. A war is going on in Iran and she has to leave for school and then to escape the dictatorship. She is harassed by the military police and has roller-coaster relationships with young men.
I was told that the girl in the film buys an Iron Maiden tape and listens to it. She does buy a tape that is proclaimed to be Iron Maiden, but what comes out of it is not. BIG disappointment! Anyway, the animation was good and the story was interesting. I really liked the part when she was describing her ex-boyfriend in negative ways. I'm rating this good.
