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.

Babel (2006)
A drama directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
2 Moroccan brothers are testing a rifle when they hit an American tourist on a bus. The American tourist and her husband have trouble getting medical help in the desert. Meanwhile, the Japanese man who gave the rifle to his Moroccan hunting guide has a deaf, horny daughter. The American couple's children are taken to Mexico for a wedding by the housekeeper, who can't find anyone to take care of them while she is away. On the way back, they have trouble at the border and their driver drives off without completing the procedures and causes the border patrol to chase them.
This film is a big mess of interwoven plots that all link together. All of the plots involve problems that started across the world. I thought the characters, plot and settings were good and there was a wide array of musical styles to go with each area. It's pretty good, but not good enough to get a green rating, so I'm rating it adequate.
