Are you still waiting?

Knowing that this was a heavy tear gas bomb, I felt that I was mentally prepared, but the choice to bomb at midnight still failed to withstand the strong effect.

Hachi, the protagonist of the movie, pronounced "Hachi", not a husky. It is destined that the professor should meet Hachi at the train station, or that Hachi is destined to be brought home by the professor. The choice of fate is often two-way. Maybe the next time at the station, the airport, the restaurant, or even the corner of the street, it will change your life. thing. Hachi's perspective in the film is very important. Without Hachi's perspective, it might not be so vivid. From the cage to the professor's house, from the professor's shoes to the smiling face, when I saw this, I remembered a sentence from another. A Japanese tearjerker movie "Ten Promises with Dogs" with the same theme: You can have many friends, but you are the only one in the eyes of the dog.

From the time the professor put Hachi in his bag and held him in his arms, it felt like he was holding his own child. In order to cover up Hachi's noise when feeding Hachi with milk on the train, the professor shook the newspaper and the woman was sitting next to him. After looking at the fashion, he made a few screams and coughs. At Hachi, he refused to pick up the ball. The professor lay on the ground to learn how the dog was picking up the ball. Then his wife picked up the phone and said, "The dog has been taken away for adoption. I'm so sorry." There is no detail that does not let the audience feel the gurgling warmth. At the same time, this is also the foreshadowing of the movie. The tears are constantly approaching to the audience, waiting for a suitable time to break it in one fell swoop.

When I saw Hachi sticking to the professor early in the morning until he got to the station and the professor missed the train, I think everyone feels the same way as I do, and won't blame Hachi for this. The more likely idea is that if I have such a dog How nice of a dog! Hachi dug up the soil under the fence and ran to the station to pick up the professor for the first time. The movie footage generously gave one to the station staff and the breakfast seller. From the eyes of outsiders, we can see the professor What a blessing to have Hachi. What's even happier is that Hachi will be there on time every day after get off work, never leaving.

The most important turning point in the movie was something I only realized later. That morning, Hachi suddenly picked up the ball and ran to see the professor. The professor was so happy that he said "First time" to the staff several times without even caring about himself. coffee, so why is Hachi willing to pick up the ball all of a sudden? Like a professor friend said, there must be a reason for it to work. Maybe Hachi felt something. I believe that there is some kind of feeling that prompted Hachi to bid farewell to the professor in this way. Hachi did not let the professor leave any regrets. The professor collapsed into class with the ball in his hand, but Hachi couldn't run to get it back.

What followed was a long wait, wait, wait... Why hasn't the professor come out yet? If I were Hachi, I would be so anxious and worried in my heart, and this anxiety, worry and expectation would last for ten years. In the ten years of expectation, the leaves turned green and yellow, and yellow and green. I really hope Hachi can know that the professor is no longer there, and that even if he waits, it will be fruitless, but he still believes that the professor will still come out through the door smiling and calling Hachi's name. Finally, on that snowy night, Hachi felt that he was about to see his master again. Time seemed to return to ten years ago, with a familiar smile, a familiar figure, and a familiar embrace. I think Hachi at this time is happy. , because after ten years of waiting, it finally came to fruition.

Looking back on Hachi's final expression, I still feel a little unable to control my tears. At the end of the film, I think a scene should be added, that is, Hachi is buried beside the owner.

The soundtrack of the movie is always the piano piece, soft but flavorful. I seem to see Hachi sitting by the piano, the professor playing, turning his head and smiling slightly to Hachi.
