After reading it, I can only say that the plot of the story is too simple and old-fashioned. To be honest, I didn't cry, but watched it in a very calm mood. Once again, it is different from the public perception. Facts seem to have cruelly proved that I am indeed a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Although I was prepared, I still regret my ruthlessness.
However, this movie brought me more than that. It brought me some intriguing thoughts, but I refused to attribute these to this movie. I only attribute it to this dog, Hachiko.
This movie made me think about the relationship between humans and animals. The reason why I don't like animal-themed movies is that my daily experience makes me think that animals are too low-level, their behavior is more determined by their own instincts, and I'm not sure whether animals can make complex thinking. And emotion is a complex thing that I can't understand. I don't think animals can produce emotions similar to humans, and I don't think that animals' behavior similar to emotions has any reference to human beings.
However, Hachiko has shaken me from this consistent idea of mine. I am not concerned with the feelings of animals, but I have found that complex feelings do not require a complex mind to obtain, and simplicity may lead to nobler feelings. My indicators of a relationship are two parameters - strength and durability. And Hachiko's affection for his master is of very high quality, at least in terms of durability. So Hachiko brought another door to my thinking about feelings. Although I only saw the shadow of the door, I was satisfied.
However, the movie is all I can say is okay.
To add, I see a lot of people saying "I wish I could have such a dog, or someone who loves me forever like this dog." Hachiko's love makes the earth look more beautiful, but I really I don't want a person or dog that treats me like this. Because, I don't think love should reach the level of dependence. Ideal love should be based on equality and independence. Love to dependency is touching, but not attractive to me.
