Does anybody get a puppy, kitty or bunny at home? How do you treat them and how do they react to you? The movie which I’ll share with you this week is really one of the apples of my eye. “Hachi”, as the name both for the film and the dog, is a Japanese word means good luck and
longevity.
The movie is an adapted version based on a real story that has happened in Japan in 1930s. Hachi was adopted by a Japanese professor for one year. Within this year, Hachi saw his owner off to the work and picked him up after work at the train station day by day. This incredible and persistent job made by Hachi deeply touches all the neighbors near the station. Unfortunately, the professor died of a cerebrovascular disease in the college which fairly disappointed his family and students especially his lucky boy Hachi. In order to make him live better in the future,
the professor’s wife gave Hachi to another family instead. However, although people all knew clearly the fact that the professor would never show up in the station again, Hachi still be that loyal to his owner. Every day he would sit in front of the gate waiting for his “beloved father” with patience and hope. Anyway, we all know that his dream will never be realized anymore.
This movie makes me cry almost for the rest half of it starts from the professor’s death. I really cannot imagine how Hachi can be that purely loyal to his owner within its entire life. Hachi’s story may lead us to think more like what loyalty means for everyone. It is the common
sense that husband and wife should be loyal to their marriage, servant should be loyal to his master, and citizens should be loyal to their home country. I want to ask all of you, do you really think you have done a good job?
All in all, thumb up for twice.
