What do you think about hachiko

This movie was so heartfelt and so caring. I do admit there were a few scenes where it was all sexy and stuff, but thing is, you never actually see or hear the sounds like that. Yes, the ending is sad, and it breaks you down into a water and snot fountain, but the lessons and role models are all around the movie. I believe that this movie is for kids 7 and up. Tip: Have a box of tissues at the ready when watching this movie. Sad and inspiring I cried so many times!

Its was a sad, true and it could make a grown adult cry. Yes i have read these reviews telling do not let your child watch this, to be honest let your child watch this!

It was a great story of how man and dog have an amazingly strong relationship to the point of the dog never wanting to leave his masters side, this leads to a sad ending but, it makes you feel for the dog, the family and pretty much everyone who has loved the deceased master.

I have fallen in love with this story and Hachi.. Hachi-Should not be rated G! This movie was very entertaining, a little slow, but entertaining. There were two scenes of sexual innuendo. It was very, very sad at the end. There was some wine and a 6-pack of beer shown. I think that it should not have been rated G. If your not sure, see the movie first and decide. Happy Viewing!

Teen, 17 years old Written by Blue-Bunny August 13, The movie is based off a true story, which took place during early s Japan. The dog would wait each day for the man at the Shibuya Train Station. The movie also centers on a sweet dog named Hachiko, who would wait for his owner, Parker, each and everyday, before and after work. Both the story and the movie have the same storyline overall. Hachi is faithful and loyal to Parker, even after he died, and never gave up on him.

Despite his owner's death, Hachi would still continue his daily routine at the train station. The movie was good because you could actually feel the emotions of the characters. The despair and loss in Hachiko when Parker died was immensely touching and the end was tear-jerking.

Aside from all that, the musical score was great and peaceful. Anyways, just to conclude, the movie was engaging. Teen, 13 years old Written by spidergirl July 21, My sister turnedt this movie on and I wasn't really paying attention until the last five minutes, but I still knew the plot.

Hachiko has been honored in Japanese culture as a symbol of loyalty and companionship and statues of Hachiko can be found all over the world.

Take time to think of the people, animals, plants, and objects most important in your life. How do you acknowledge and appreciate them?

Hachiko by Pamela S. The new artist who recreated the statue was Takeshi Ando. Not only the statue was unveiled but a grand dedication ceremony also took place in August They were finally reunited forever! Hachi is the Japanese word for the number 8. We plead you to take some time out of your busy schedules to watch either one of the two movies.

Eventually, he settled at the home of Kikuzaburo Kobayashi, Ueno's former gardener. He continued to do this for about 10 years, patiently waiting for Ueno to come home. Sadly, there are several stories about how Hachi was beaten and bullied by pedestrians and even children while he lingered around the station.

When Hirokichi Saito, the chairman of the Nihon Ken Hozonkai The Association for the Preservation of the Japanese Dog found out about Hachi and his story, Saito published an article in Asahi Shimbun newspaper about how the poor pup was being mistreated. The story naturally tugged at readers' heartstrings and Hachi quickly became a public icon. It's unusual for an honorific statue to be built while the person — or in this case, dog — in question is still alive, but Hachiko actually made an appearance at the opening of his statue in Rumour has it that before the unveiling many scammers tried to make money by claiming they were the ones creating the statue.

The real sculptor, Teru Ando, who was an acquaintance of Saito, hurried to finish his masterpiece before things got out of hand. Not even Hachiko's statue managed to get an exemption for its metal during the Pacific War.

To add insult to injury, the original statue was melted just one day before the war ended. Some say that the metal was used to produce parts for a locomotive for what is now the Tokaido line. The statue at Odate Station was also melted during the war, with the current statue dating from The cemetery is actually more like a park and covers an extensive area near Gaienmae and Aoyama Itchome stations.
