Synopsis: Hachiko, the legendary Japanese akita, proves that there is nothing more loyal than mans best friend in this modern retelling of a cherished true story. It all begins when a college professor adopts an abandoned dog named Hachiko. The two form such a strong bond that Hachiko walks with the professor to the train station each morning and returns to the station each evening to walk the professor home again. The routine continues until one day the professor does not return to the train station. Hachiko, however, does not give up. He returns to the same train station at the same time, faithfully waiting for his owner to return. Hachiko does this for more than nine years, until his own death. This heartwarming tale that is already the stuff of legend in Japan is finally making its way to America by way of prominent director Lasse Hallström. With an equally capable cast, the experience of Hachikos unending loyalty is certain to stay with you. Hachikos story is one of love, unwavering devotion, and the resounding impact one dogs affection can make.
It is definetly worth watching, I read the story about this Akita before I even heard about the movie. One day at work it caught my eye, only because it had a picture of an Akita, I really wanted to watch it. I googled the trailer when I got home and read some of the comments and a lot of people that have watched it said you should have a box of tissue ready. It was heart warming and it definetly made me cry.
I just hope people don't go out and get Akita Inus just because they look freaking adorable in this movie. To be honest, I'm not an exepert or anything, I think they used Shiba Inu puppies for when Hachi was younger. I am not a 100% sure whether or not if it's true or not simply because its harder to tell if they're a shiba puppy or an akita puppy because its on a screen,
After watching this movie,I have the sudden urge to watch "A tale of Mari and 3 puppies," again. Its been a year since I've watched it, but it's sooo cute! It's a SHIBA this time! I wished my shiba was still a puppy so I can hold him in my lap and stroke him and hug him and cry into his coarse fur.
