Movie #2097 "Take and Run" (Ala Kachuu") (movie theater Oscar-nominated live action shorts 2022) This was the most involved one of the batch of live actions this year, and it resembled a lot of movies I have seen in this category in the past --- focuses on a problem in Kyrgyzstan This one I did not know about --- one of bride kidnapping, which is still practiced today. Beautiful shots with gorgeous landscapes and bright colors serve as a stark contrast to the horror of the situation. We root for this girl throughout the film --- it's a fight for freedom, one that is being fought in the Ukraine right now so this becomes so topical!!! I wanted this film to go on longer and show us more into the future of this young victim, and maybe have some blurb at the end telling us just how big of a problem this is because it certainly piqued my interest. I give it a 4 out of 5 and recommend it if you get a chance to see it.
