Movie review: Hachiko: A Dog's Story

How boundless could be a dog's love to its master? Lasse Hallström, a director from the movie "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" wants to show us a breathtaking, true story about love, loyalty, friendship and longing.
The real story took place in Japan. but In Hallström's movie, the dog's still Japanese.

It was a typical day for Professor Wilson (Richard Gere). He was coming back from his work, when he finds a little puppy on at the train station.Professor takes the dog home, though his wife (Joan Allen) was protesting. From this moment we can watch growing, day by day, the feeling between Hachi and Professor Wilson. Feeling so true that even Gere's wife stopped searching for the dog's owner.
Hachi, so grateful to its master, escorted him to the local train station, when he goes to his work. And when Professor comes back, Hachi is always sat sitting there and waiting.
Everything changed when, one day, Professor didn't appear on at the train station...

Many people could say that the story about a dog or a dog's love to its master is boring or unsurprising. But not this story. This Swedish director created an incredible movie. and not only just for people who love dogs. This movie is a good choice for someone who thinks that they would never cry while watching a movie.

In remembrance of Hachiko in Tokyo's Shibuya railroad station, there was erected a bronze statue. The statue presents a faithful dog, a devoted friend who had never understood why his lovely Professor did not come back from his work.
