I CRIED SO MUCH, NOT JUST OUT OF SADNESS FOR HACHI, BUT BECAUSE WE HUMANS, HAVE GOTTEN TO THE POINT OF NON HUMANESS, SO MUCH SO, THAT IT TAKES A DOG NAME HACHI TO REMIND US ONCE AGAIN, HOW TO BE HUMAN
THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT A DOG NAMED HACHI, HAVE U SEEN IT?
I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL THE END IT WAS ABOUT A REAL DOG IN JAPAN.
BUT THE STORY WAS ABOUT THIS DOG THAT WAS SENT FROM A BUDDHIST MONK TO A FRIEND IN AMERICA,WELL CAT GOT LOST IN TRAVEL POINTS AND HIM AND CAGE FALL OUT OF TRAIN, THIS WAS SET IN 40'S I THINK, ANYWAY THIS PROFESSOR FINDS HIM AND TAKES HIM HOME AT FIRST WIFE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO KEEP THE DOG, BUT SHE GAVE IN,FIRST THING HE DID WAS TRY TO TEACH HACHI TO FETCH BUT HE NEVER WOULD LEARN, HE ASKED HIS KARATI TEACHER WHY THE DOG WOULD NOT LEARN TO FETCH, KARATI TEACHER SAID, HE DOES NOT HAVE A REASON, WHEN HE DOES HE WILL LEARN, BUT HACHI HATED BEING AWAY FROM PROFESSOR, SO EVERYDAY WHEN PROFESSOR WENT TO WORK, HE WOULD TRY TO GET THE DOG TO STAY IN YARD SO HE LOCKED GATE, BUT HACHI WANTED TO BE WITH HIM, SO AFTER PROFFESSOR WOULD LEAVE FOR WORK, EVERYDAY SNOW OR SUNSHINE, HE WOULD OPEN GATE AND GO SIT IN SMALL PART IN FRONT OF TRIAN TERMINAL,ALL THE VENDORS AND LOCALS GOT TO KNOW AND LOVE HACHI, AND HE WOULD BE THERE WAITING FOR THE PROFESSOR WHEN HE GOT OFF COMUTER TRAIN, AND THEY WOULD GO HOME, WELL ABOUT FIVE YEARS LATER, WHEN PROFESSOR WAS GETTING READY TO GO TO WORK, HACHI DECIDED TO GET THE BALL FOR FIRST TIME A FETCH, THE PROFESSOR COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY HE DID THIS, BUT EACH TIME HE TRIED TO LEAVE HACHI WOULD KNOCK BALL AWAY AND GO FETCH IT, SO PROFESSOR LOCKED GATE AND LEFT, AND HACHI AS HE HAD DONE FOR FIVE YEARS, WENT TO PARK IN FRONT OF TERMINAL, AND WAITED FOR TRAIN TO BRING PROFESSOR HOME THAT DAY PROFESSOR DID NOT COME, HE DIED THAT DAY, HIS LAST THOUGHTS WERE OF HACHI, TRYING TO WARN HIM BY FETCHING THE BALL, SO HACHI WAITED AND WAITED, HE SAT THERE FOR DAYS AND DID NOT MOVE, VENDORS FED HIM AND TRYED TO TELL HIM HACHI, HE IS NOT COMING BACK, SO HACHI WENT SOMEWHERE FOR THE NIGHT BUT EACH DAY AT 5 O'CLOCK HE WOULD BE AT PARK, WAITING FOR THE PROFESSOR HE DID THIS EVERYDAY, FOR NINE YEARS, WHEN IT WAS SNOWING, COLD, RAINY OR HOT HE WOULD BE THERE EACH DAY AT 5, AS THE YEARS WENT BY, IT TOOK HACHI LONGER TO GET TO PARK BY 5 FROM HIS SLEEPING SPOT HE WENT TO EACH NITE UNDER A ABANDONED TRAIN, BUT HE DID IT, THEN ONE DAY, TRAIN WAS APPROACHING AND HACHI DIED, DOING WHAT HE ALWAYS DID, WAIT FOR HIS BEST FREIND THE PROFESSOR..
