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.

The Harder They Come (1972)
A crime film directed by Perry Henzell.
A young man goes to the city and has to live with the preacher because he is poor. He constantly gets in trouble there until he makes a record and gets into the drug trade. He ends up running from the law for a very long time as his song becomes popular.
There was a scene of literal bible thumping in the beginning and a character with the craziest dreads I've ever seen. There was also a plane with rasta-code on the side. It read "6y jha" or "sky jah". I thought the overall film was alright, so I'm rating it o.k.
