I Cried For Hours
Amazing movie.
shareDo NOT watch this film by yourself, and make sure you've got tissues to hand. Absolute error on my part.

I saw this movie a year and a half ago, and thought I can't bear to watch it again especially since my family's pet dog is already old and it makes me sad thinking he'll pass away soon. Our dog died last year and I think I've accepted his death and when I saw the last part of this movie aired by HBO, I was surprised I didn't cry anymore like I did the first time I saw it. HBO aired this movie every night for a week here in my place (Asian country) this August, ending today, and my family saw it three times in a row. My brother-in-law, a big burly 6 footer who saw this for the first time got teary in the scenes of Hachi coming back again and again, without fail, through every change of seasons, waiting for his master to return, until he was old and weary.
Though I didn't cry anymore, I still felt sad but I was thankful that in Hachi's mind, perhaps in his dream, alone that night with his eyes close and probably in his last breath, he saw his master coming for him and him running to meet him. Also thankful that people around the train station was kind to him and saw to it that he didn't starve all the time he comes to wait for his master.
And to think this was a true story makes it all the more poignant.
Truth inexorably,inscrutably seeks and reveals Itself into the Light.
bad thing I watched it by myself...cried my eyes out...and it was really painfull to watch the last part of the movie, where hachi dreams Parker...oh God...I thought I was gonna explode :(
No, I´m not saying I´m sorry!- 30 Seconds to Mars 'Closer to the Edge'
I hadn't even heard anything about this movie, I thought it just looked like a cute, happy dog movie. It came on TV and I watched it with 3 other people. I usually avoid sad movies but I really had no idea how sad this movie would be. I never cry in front of people but I couldn't help it, the last part was so sad I had to leave to go and cry in the other room. So just a warning, rather watch this movie on your own if you'd like a good cry. Very good movie but it should come with a 'bring the tissues' warning.
shareJust reading these posts has made me cry with tears all over my face. Any film starring dogs and babies or infants would touch me and hook me intantly.Never get tired of watching them. Not sure if it's the same film my brother ever watched. He mentioned he wanted to have a Hachi as it's his favorate breed when he gets old said Hachi was just like his long lost bro.
shareMe too... im still a little sad an hour after watching this film. Brilliant movie.
I'm nothing if not optimistic
I agree....a friend recommended it so I added it to netflix as an afterthought but it turned out to be a great movie. My husband whined when I put it in, but often through out the movie I saw him with his eyes locked on the screen.
Very touching and sad, I got very teary, but if I had been alone I would have bawled. We keep talking about getting a dog, I may research an Akita now, such a cute lovable dog.
Me too! It was so sad! But very moving! I LOVED THIS MOVIE and I am recommending it to my friends

A bloody stupid dog..
I bawled for hours watching this movie. I didnt expect to cry as much coz i knew the plot and knew what was going to happen..but still, that didnt make any difference at all. I cried and cried..like halfway through the movie i started..and by the time the ending was up i could hardly see out of my eyes.
The movie itself isnt a masterpiece but the story is just to heartwarming and heartbreaking that you cant do anything but bawl your eyes out.
life is what you make it!
