Hachikō

This movie is the Americanized version of the true story about a dog named Hachiko who was found at a local train station by a college professor.

I cried - I'm a grown strong man who literally cried after the movie. I can't even put in words how touching this movie is. What else can I say...

(added after a while...)

In spite of the strong emotional effect the stage direction of the movie is quite unremarkable. All the movie's characters (except the dog, of course :-) are primitively stilty, simplified, and look unreal. My personal opinion is that Lasse Hallström, the author of such movies as "The cider house rules (1999)" and "Chocolate (2000)", could make it much better.

Somehow i did not like the music from this movie... hard to explain why it's so. there is something in the soundtrack that repels me.

Finally, you must be a really big fan of Richard Gere to appreciate his playing.

BUT!!! I liked the movie! And I would like to recommend it to all my friends. Don't miss it! (prepare tissues -you'll need them for sure)
