HACHIKO: A DOG’S STORY REVIEW
Im not really into melancholic kind of movie maybe I just a have little know of how will I respond to those tear-jerking moment, the feeling of empathy and sympathy. Yeah, call it cheesy, I cant help it.
Actually, HACHIKO has been in my list since last year, I have seen some previews on the internet but I was not actually suffice the urge to watch it because it’s only a preview and stays as trailer at all. A friend of mine who told this true-to-life movie about the dog named hachiko; who made me eager to watch it.
Until I finally saw it online and have it watched for free. Hachiko is an American adaptation of the original Japanese story.
Obsviously the story is about the loyal dog, who plays the main role of the story. When ‘Hachi’ was little he was found by Parker (Richard Gere) a college professor. Although it is still vague to me the original story of where hachi came from and who’s the original owner. At first, Parker has no intention to bear this cute puppy because his wife (Joan Allen) is not fond of dogs. Until they realized that hachi is not just a dog but a smart kiddo also, he’s bubbly and entertaining. So they kept hachi, fed and took care of him.
Hachi is now attached to Parker, and has built a strong bonding together. Even Hachi accompany his master to the train station every morning and returns in the dusk to fetch parker and greet him. That shows how devoted hachi to his master and even had a small jealous to parker’s family one time. Until one day Parker struck an heart attack and never did the same routine everyday with hatchi. Unfortunately, Parker died and his family sold their house to move on. The sad thing is, hachi seem not apprehend that his master is already gone, he keep waiting to the same spot of train station where he wait parker from work for over the past nine years.
Commuters are astonished of hachi’s deed for his master. Its a hearttilting movie because of its story, the loyalty of hachi’s to his master who kept waiting for over 9 years thinking that his master will be back and have fetched him home. This is a story of two living things that makes them bind together is friendship. The genuine of friendship matters most.
This movie is might be a remarkable one for kids and movie fanatics who opt for a smooth and placid on-goings until it meets the saddest part the— termination. Although this movie is predictable the moral of the story still matters for me.
What I dont like is the music while hachi’s in grief. Wrong choice of music.
The likable, ofcourse the dog who plays the role of hachi, soooo cute and lovable.
