A must-watch film, especially for all dog lovers. Loyalty that is to be surpassed only by God Himself. Hachiko, the Akita dog, has set the Yardstick of loyalty under which all loyalty among us human beings are to be measured.

Not a sad one, but profoundly touching, So touching that even a tough guy like me couldn't possibly hold his tears. From Academy Award-nominated director Lasse Hallstrm (2000, The Cider House Rules) comes HACHI: A DOGS TALE, a film based on one of the most treasured and. It's the simple story of the love between a man and his best friend that more than sufficiently works all the wonders. I was so embarrassed that as soon as the film came to the end I dashed straight into the loo only to see my eyes sore red (!!) The main characters never "take flight" but that matters not at all. The love so simple, so pure and the loyalty so unfailing, so steadfast that it would melt any steel heart.

KGF Vissersįinally a film from the USA (albeit based on a true story in the 1920s Japan) that is without guns, explosions and free of violence and not based at all on romantic elements! "Love and Loyalty" succinctly sums up the film. The story is told in flashbacks as class assignment 'my hero' by Michael's teen son Robbie, who also gets an Akita puppy. Hachi refuses to accept this, being moved to Michael's home as Cate moves out, waiting for a master who can never come home again, by now collectively adopted by sympathizing town-folk. Hachi makes a habit of waiting for his equally doting master at the station every evening, but after a cardiac crisis, Parker dies. Parker's Japanese college friend Ken inspires naming the pup Hachi(ko), and is pleasantly surprised when Parker successfully tackles the challenge to get it to fetch, which Akitas don't usually do.

His bossy, jealous wife Cate initially makes Parker swear it won't stay, but by the time its' clear nobody will claim him and an adoption candidate is found, she agrees to keep the dog, who won over their daughter Andy and her fiance Michael at first sight. Commuting by train, music professor Parker Wilson finds an Akita puppy, whose cage broke unnoticed during shipping, leaving his destination unknown, and since the station can't care for it and the dog catcher warns even such cute ones may not be adopted in the two weeks allowed, he kindly takes it home. When his master dies, a loyal pooch named Hachiko keeps a vigil for more than a decade at the train station where he once greeted his.
