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.

Heavy Traffic (1973)
An animated drama directed by Ralph Bakshi.
A young artist who lives in New York city with his fighting parents gets a black girlfriend. His father, who is in the mob tries to put a price on his son's head.
This film mixes various animation styles with live action. Thoughts of the characters and songs heard by them turn into mini-episodes of animation. There are lots of sexual situations prtrayed in this movie, but they are all done in Bakshi's classic style. Now let's see... a Ralph Bakshi film... How could I possibly rate it?
Better than good! This was AWESOME!
