      Write to Xiaoba

      About 16 years ago, I watched the American version of "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko". I remember that it made me cry a lot at that time. The American version is more about warmth, and there is still someone to accompany after the owner is gone. The Japanese version is closer to reality.

      Xiao Ba, who was born in blizzard weather, is destined to experience ups and downs in his life. I hate teaching my daughter very much, just like many people in...

      A story about waiting

      I have never kept a pet, but after watching this movie, I can probably know some stories about companionship and waiting of the dog and the protagonist, and it seems that I can empathize with it.

      "It's life is like a stream of water, little by little on the bluestone platform of the station, year after year. As a dog, it has its principles, and it will never leave, no matter whether it is born, old, sick or dead. It lies there for ten years. , thoroughly into a landscape. Life and...

      Aba, your master is gone

      A cute and lively Akita, the professor is of course kind to him, but Hachi has spent his entire life showing his loyalty to his master.

      The director has grasped the story very well. How to focus on the loyal dog Aba, and explain the life of the relevant characters clearly, makes me feel that when the director is shooting the characters, he is also introducing Aba's appearance.

      I didn't cry, it's not that I didn't move me, on the contrary,...

      loyalty

      Dogs are very spiritual animals and are very loyal to their owners. This is also why some people like to own a dog, because it is a trust you can gain with your time and money. Its life is only ten years, a short part of your life. When you go to work or school to experience the colorful world, it is waiting for your return at home. So, accompany it well when you have it. When I was a child, I used to have a pastoral dog. As soon as I came home from school, it rushed up to bite my trousers....

      "Why wait for someone who will never come?" "Raising a dog for three days will give you a lifetime." He once again dedicated his tears to Hachi. Compared with the American version, Japan pays more attention to exposing human nature. , The cruelty of reality gives people a desolate feeling. Although the ending is already known, the tears could not stop flowing after the professor's death. The tears of the whole film finally broke out when the professor's wife came to see Xiaoba. , Xiao Ba died...

You do many things for me, walk with me, catch lice for me, take a bath with me, and keep me warm during the storm. I only love you silently, send you to work every day, pick you up from get off work. do you know? you are my world.

      I don't think it's a good movie, the American version is more plump. The setting of the ruthless daughter is actually meaningless to the plot. It seems that the screenwriter hates this daughter, so it is written so that everyone hates her...
