One Saturday afternoon, I decided to turn on the television and to my surprise this movie was being played! I remembered that I had watched this movie with my friends when we were eating in a coffee shop near the university. When we first watched it, my friends cried and I didn't. I can't exactly relate to the dog and to what was going on in the movie since during that time I don't own a dog. After a few weeks, my cousin gave me a dog as a present and it was my first dog ever. It was challenging taking care of a dog. I experienced giving it a bath, feeding it, picking up its poop and cleaning after every mess it made. It was hard but the companionship that a dog can give can eliminate all the stress that you are feeling.
When I was watching the movie, I told myself that I will not cry because I had already seen the movie once. When the dog's owner died and I saw how the dog waited for his master to arrive at the train station it made me feel a little pity for the dog. When the owner's wife was able to see Hachi again it it made me feel sad but I did not cry. But when the dog was about to die and all the events that happened to its life flashed back and when he was reunited with his owner it made me cry...a lot! It made me cry because now I can relate to the story. How a dog can be that loyal. Then I kept on thinking what if my dog experienced that..what if my dog die? (HAHAHA yes sometimes I am over emotional) Then I started to cry again. Good thing I was alone when I was watching the movie. :)
