My favourite movie is called "Hachiko". The film was shot
by Holliwood film producer Lasser Khalstryom in 2009. It is set in one of ordinary American small towns. The role of the main hero in the film was
brilliantely performed by a popular and talanted American film actor Richard Gere. I
highly recommend to watch the film "Hachiko"
to all those people who haven't seen
it yet. The plot of the film is not sophisticated. It is based on real facts. This is an amazing story about a dog which was the
most faithful and devoted friend in the whole world for her owner. Now in
Japan you can see Hachiko's
memorial. The plot is remarkable but very tragic: Parker Wilson
(Richard Gere), a University Professor, returning home in the evening after
work, finds at the train station a lost
puppy. After several unsuccessful attempts to find the owner of a dog, Parker
decides to keep the puppy and he calls him Hachiko. From that moment between Parker
and Hachiko occurs deep friendship and sincere affection, they spend much time
together.
Every morning,
Hachiko accompanies the master, hurrying to work, to the station, and in the
evening waits for his return, sitting on the parapet in front of the entrance
to the station. This ritual continues for a long time, Hachiko already
is known to all the sellers and employees of the station. One day, as usual, Parker goes to work, where he has a heart attack and dies... but Hachiko
continues to come daily to the station and he waits for Parker's train. Parker's wife soon moves to another city and wants to take Hachiko with her,
however, he escapes and returns to the station, where remains to live. Ten years later, Parker's widow arrives at these places to visit the grave of her husband
and to her great surprise she sees Hachiko at the station still waiting for his master... Unortunately, the end of the story is a dreadful one. After some time, Hachiko dies on the parapet, where he had been waiting for Parker untill the last hour of his life.
I consider the film to be the first-rate one. Though the producer doesn't use special effects but just quite simple and ordinary ones the film touches upon the hearts of the viewers and leaves nobody indifferent. The name of Hachiko became legendary in the whole world.
