This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. The dog kept on waiting even after the death of the professor, and when Hachiko the dog passed away. Theres currently a statue at Shibuya Station in honor of the dogs loyalty.Lasse Hallstroms Hachiko: A Dogs Story is an American adaption of the story, released in August 2009. the dogs still Japanese. In the beginning of the film, hes sent from Japan to the States, but the tag with the address falls off and the little puppy is skipping around at an idyllic train station in an idyllic town. Music professor Parker who is acted by Richard Gere finds the dog and takes it home, ignoring his wife Joan Allens protests. The dog is named Hachi and hes very clever and very faithful.Parker tries to find the owner but doesnt have any luck. He brings Hachi home and is met with surprise and frustration as his wife does not want to keep Hachi. Parker promises that hes going to try to find the owner and that Hachi will only stay temporarily. As time goes on, his wife warms up to the idea and eventually allows Parker to keep Hachi. Parker names Hachi when he talks with his Japanese friend, who notices that the small collar around the puppys neck has Hachi. the Japanese character for the number eight inscribed on it.Parker is accompanied by Hachi every day to work on time. At 5 oclock Parker comes back to pick up him up. Each day Hachi is seen arriving and meeting with Parker. This is their dating time! Station owners in town, hot dog vendors, near the eyes of the woman in this store are so accustomed to the screen: Parker go out from the station called his lovely dog Hachi. But Richard Gere has a heart attack and dies whilst teaching, and when Hachi goes to meet the train that day, his master does not appear as normal at the station door. Various events ensue, but Hachi cannot settle with any other member of the family, as they have all left the original house near the station, so Hachi returns to his post every day and waits for his master. He does this every day for ten years. (The real Hachi in Japan did it for nine years.) He faithfully waits and scans the station door every day at 5 PM, never giving up hope or losing his loyalty to the man he adores. He does this come rain or shine, he sits in the snow, he lives on scraps, but nothing can deter him or shake his loyalty. Hachi has been waiting in the weeds, waiting for his only fellow to walk him home. His hope has been floating in the breeze, carrying his loneliness and misery all above the ground. Maybe professor knows, but he could never come back.There are some really good performances by minor characters associated with the station, a hot-dog seller, some station employees, and other locals such as a friendly butcher and his wife, and even a real Japanese professor who had been a friend of Parker, who comes and speaks to Hachi in Japanese. It is based on a true story and its only natural that the movie is great because the real story itself is very touching. One of the things that sets this movie apart from the other movies that involve animals is how they stuck to reality instead of throwing in some a-little-hard-to-believe elements here and there just to make it more entertaining.Sincerity and kindness showed by Hachi are the most beautiful things in the world. In the eyes of an Akita dog, we can find purity and his true feeling to human beings. A simple dependence, a simple trust and a simple love these stuffs build up his world. But he uses up his whole life to protect his loyalty and love with these simple. And finally at the end of this movie Hachi sees his master in its dream. I bel
