ハチ Public Story-1987
Two nights in a row , I met Hachiko .
I love dogs so much!
The Japanese version of 1987 is very simple and simple. This is a story between World War I and World War II, about a little Akita dog.
The American version of 2009, very sensational, very modern. The little Akita came to America and fell in love with an American family.
I prefer the American version. It seems that modern Hollywood screenwriters are better at inciting the emotions of the audience, and many of the points it captures make modern people extremely moved and cry a mess.
The encounter between the professor and the puppy was meant to be. Neither of them had other options for each other. The puppy finds the professor, and the professor meets the puppy.
Both professors have a happy family, and the professor loves the puppy more than the family.
In contrast, the professor's family seemed a little indifferent. Especially the daughter in the Japanese version.
Hachi doesn't have a watch, but it knows the time.
The night before and the morning of the two professors' accident, Hachi was acting abnormally.
Hachi doesn't have the ability to speak, but he can feel everything.
My favorite is the last moment Hachi is at the gate of the train station. It was so weak that it could no longer stand, and the scene in front of it was blurred. However, what it saw was the brightest and happiest moment in its short dog life - the moment it met the professor, the moment the professor took it for a walk, running and jumping, the moment when the cherry blossoms fell, the moment when he played with the professor... …When the train arrived at the station, the crowd poured out, and the young professor was standing at the exit. Hachi leaped and jumped on the professor.
Can anyone hold back the tears at such a sensational moment?
The professor's wife is a difficult role to play.
Both wives share the same worry, fearing that Hachi will share her husband's love for them. Therefore, in the minds of the two, the cute puppy Hachi appeared as a "rival in love". However, when they saw the happy look on their husbands playing with the puppy, their hearts softened again. When her husband left, none of them thought that Hachi loved the professor more than herself. Both wives chose to leave, while Hachi traveled thousands of miles back to the gate of the train station.
When the two wives walked out of the train station a few years later, they were greeted by Hachi.
The Japanese version's wife took Hachi to a hotel, and the next day Hachi hid for fear that she would give it to someone else again.
In contrast, the American version of the wife was more forgiving, she just hugged Hachi at the station and stroked it gently.
From a certain moment in their lives, Hachi and the professor have been inseparable. For the professor, everything is much simpler. If a dog leaves, he can find another dog; however, the puppy will never get out of this relationship. If the professor leaves, it will stay behind forever.
Of course it knew that the professor was gone, and it had whined at the professor's funeral and chased the professor's hearse.
However, it still chose to stand at the exit of the train station all the time, standing up and watching every time the train arrived at the station.
When it comes to loyalty, we can never beat Hachi.
