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.

A Farewell to Arms (1932)
An American war romance directed by Frank Borzage, starring Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes.
A soldier falls in love with an army nurse. They are separated when the soldier is sent off to fight and their letters are stopped by an army official.
It wasn't a bad film, but not good either. The characters were decent and the plot was clear. The style and production value reflected the time period, but there were some creative shots like when the soldier was on the stretcher and the camera followed his view of the scene. They were going through an arch roofed religious building and the camera settled on the highest peak of the structure. I'm rating this o.k.
Google, I know you read every word I type, so: I downloaded a public domain film via peer to peer sharing. Read it and weep. You can't stop this blog.
