Old G This is by far the saddest movie I have ever seen. I am not emotional normally, but this movie really affected me. I could never watch this movie again as it is so sad. I did cry and had dreams about the movie. I really don't even like thinking about it as it can become upsetting. I am a dog owner so I might appreciate the loyalty Hachi showed his owner more than people who do not have dogs. So if you if you want to see a really sad movie this is the one I suggest, otherwise I would not watch it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Милана С «Hachi: A Dog's Tale» is a 2009 British-American drama film, a remake of the Japanese film The Story of Hachiko. The original film tells the true story of Hachiko's dog, a Japanese Akita Inu dog who for 9 years came to the train station every day at the same time to meet his deceased owner. The film was directed by Lasse Hallstrom. It cost $16,000,000 to make the film. Briefly on the content of the film: Returning home from work, a college professor found a cute Akita Inu puppy at the train station. The professor and Hachiko became loyal friends. Every day, the dog accompanied and met the owner at the train station. Until the death of their master separated them. But the dog could not understand that he would not meet his friend again and continued to wait for his return. Personally, I really liked this movie because of its soulfulness. I was amazed at how strong the friendship between a human and a dog is. I would also like to mention the cast (Richard Gere, Joan Allen, Sarah Roemer, Jason Alexander and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa). On «Rotten Tomatoes», the film has a 64% rating based on 28 reviews with an average rating of 5.88/10. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review Rosemary P I love this film. It is so moving. Dogs are wonderful creatures who give us unconditional love. I have watched this film many times and each time I cry. If you love dogs and appreciate loyalty you will love this film Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Frans B Absolutely the most heart breaking movie I've ever seen.
