Movie #2094 "On My Mind" (movie theatre - oscar-nominated live action shorts 2022) This was the first one we saw, and we both picked it as the best --- it instantly pulls the viewer in -- the man gets bad news at the hospital about his wife, he puts his head against a window full of desperation, all in one minute, the visual tells just enough. But then the film introduces a barmaid and her boss and in walks the desperate man. His request is strange and the boss nixes it right away because it deals with some work to set up equipment and he's busy doing accounting -- but the barmaid senses the humanity of the situation and gets him to go along. I was crying by the end of this short live action (18 MINS) --- which is quite a feat to pull that much emotion out of a viewer in a couple of minutes, but I highly recommend seeing it if you get a chance because of all the short films we saw, this one was the best. I give it a 5 out of 5, and I don't want to ruin it by saying too much more, just in case it is available on line for you to watch.
