Genre: Drama
Directed by: Lasse Hallstrom
Starring: Richard Gere, Joan Allen
Running time: 93 minutes
This American remake of a Japanese film, based on a true story,
tells the tale of the real close relationship between Professor Parker Lewis
and Hachi, an Akita dog that was freighted from Japan to America as a puppy and
that ended up stranded at the train station, where Lewis found him and brought
him home.
As a dog owner, I was profoundly touched by this story of love and
profound friendship between master and pet. Dogs are a man’s best devoted
friend, and this is shown here. Is it a great work of cinema? Not really, but
it mostly hit all the right notes for me. The acting was good and the story was
compelling for the right frame of mind.
