      "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" film review

      Compared with the hilarious style of the American dog love movie "Marley and I", "The Tale of Hachiko" is more tear-jerking. Director Lesser Hallstrom said with a smile: I hope the movie is warm but not promiscuous, so I avoid a lot of bloody scenes. Because I want it to be a comedy that doesn't overemphasize sadness, but simply shows the camaraderie between man and dog. Even so, when Richard Gere got the script, he was moved to tears by the plot of the story, and he cried again and again. He...

      Until death, I only love you

      Its eyes are clear and bright.
      As destined to meet.
      He couldn't put down this warm little creature.
      So, this is the beginning.
      Why do the fateful encounters have to be humans and humans?
      Wouldn't it be more incredible to meet humans and animals, humans and goblins, humans and ghosts, humans and any non-human beings?

      Only humans are fickle animals.
      Amorous and faithful are always non-human beings.

      simple Hachiko

      I haven't met my grandfather, he died when I was very young,
      but I know the story of my grandfather and Hachiko.
      I think I know them.
       
      At the end of the film, the little boy's speech is over. The hero of

      a loyal dog, until its end of life, has been waiting for the return of its master.

      In the quiet snow scene and the halo of the train, Hachiko finally waited until his

      entire storyline is very simple, and because of its simplicity, it is...

      pale story

      I don't deny that this is a touching story
      that can at least touch ordinary people
      (rather than someone with a lot of experience like me),

      but this story really has a pale enough
      main line to make it clear that
      there are no branches yet!!

      This is like me In the mathematical model paper
      of the year, a financial model of a proportional series was
      hard-written into ten pages of paper, and the
      score would not be very high

      . Of course,...

    Behind the scenes gags

    In April 1934, people erected a bronze statue of Hachiko in front of Shibuya Station in Tokyo. Hachiko "Hondog" also attended the unveiling ceremony of the bronze statue. From then on, the entrance of the station near the bronze statue was called "Hachiko Entrance".
    In World War II, due to the shortage of metal resources, the bronze statue of Hachiko was melted. The bronze statue built on the original site was rebuilt in August 1947.

    Evaluation action

    Throughout the film, the director used some thoughts to draw the role of Hachiko through the children’s storytelling in the opening chapter, describing the exotic feelings between the American grandfather and the Japanese puppies, and interspersed with the happiness and sweetness of Professor Parker’s family. Parker The friendship between professors and friends embodies the theme of great love and friendship, and this natural emotion...
