Hachi: A Dog's Tale - Behind the Scenes with Richard Gere

[@blahblah148]

cried like a baby. great movie. Hachi is now in Heaven with his owner Ueno.

[@balajis7805]

I agree tooooo

[@floraslia]

too bad that animals can't go to heaven...

[@canyounot810]

will byers deserves to be happy
it doesn’t necessarily need to be heaven. just a place, likely out of our physical world where Hachi and his owner can be together in serenity forever.

[@Whoopdido777]

@bbyoutube It depends on your religion and how closely you adhere to that religion. For example, different Popes over the years have been asked that question. Do animals go to heaven? Some Popes say yes and others say no. And that’s just Christianity. Obviously there are many other religions with their own beliefs too.

[@Jane_Louise_b72]

Normally I might cry at the end of a movie or at a specific part which is sad but with this movie I cried from the moment his master died and for the remainder of the movie. From that moment on every minute of the movie was gut wrenchingly sad The tears kept flowing.. What remarkable loyalty from a dog

[@kudhrakevin17]

me indeed felt the same. the moment , the master died till the end , my emotions overturned n tears keep falling. how pure is the protrayal of love we can see in this scene .. awesome love

[@jaegerthedane3245]

Same here. I now can't even watch a full minute of the movie without crying

[@yutella]

I cried even before the movie started :-/ Maybe because I knew what would happen... But the worst part was when Hachi aged and met the owner's wife again. Hit me really hard.

[@jaegerthedane3245]

+Yutella What hit me harder was when Hachi died and reunited with his master again. I cried for five minutes.

Please also watch the original Japanese movie set in the 1930s and you will be moved too. It's the real story as it happened. In Japanese the film is known as "Hachiko Monogatori" but you'll find a version with subtitles.

[@greenscarab2]

I watched this movie on Netflix. It was fantastic. I fell in love with the whole story, the actors and the acting. I have not cried this hard in a while, then watch the real story on you tube and cry some more. My heart was breaking when I seen him waiting under the abandoned train each night just to go back to the station and wait some more. But there were happy times too. I will buy this movie as it's a keeper. 💕💝

[@Elly3981]

I loved Richard Gere as the professor, but I can also see Tom Hanks playing the role very well too.

Richard Gere is such a bad ass for doing this movie. The role of Parker was a special role requiring someone who truely is an honest and decent human being.. not many could have made it believable.

[@leslieh48307]

I started watching this movie right when Richard Gere's character died. As soon as I saw Hachi waiting for him at the train station.......that did it.......balling like a baby for the rest of the movie! And then to find out that this was a true story, it REALLY broke my heart! This is one of the most touching and saddest movies that I have ever seen! More sad then "Where The Red Fern Grows" and "Old Yeller" combined! A must see for all animal lovers!!! Hachi earned the statue that was mad

[@sathvamp1]

I agree... I dare say this is THE most emotional movie I've personally ever seen...! Old Yeller got me on two occasions, this one got me 6 times.

I'm already crying and I haven't even watched the movie. I don't think I have the courage to watch it.
The Hachiko statue is everyone's favorite meeting spot. YET! The whole place is so packed with people that it has become the worst meeting spot. Me and my friend decided to meet at Hachiko once, back in '86. We looked for each other like an hour or two, but we never got to find each other. I couldn't believe it, because it's such a small area. How could we miss each other?? I called my friend after I went home defeated. She said she was there the whole time, and I said I was there the whole time. We still talk about it. We were planning to go watch Madame Souzatska.

Dogs know what bad is going to be..so on that last day when owner died hachi did not want to go with his owner at morning because he was saying to his owner dont go ;something bad is happening today.he was barking so to stop him don't go please ..even he became ready to fetch the ball at the end so that he can try to convince his owner ;and stay with him.# such a great movie ..i cried

[@Aristotles.daughter]

Its precious to see real stories with animals being more emotional and dedicated than humans. The dog knew that his owner would never return, he could easily feel and smell it. The reason he never left away is because he wanted to bring back his master in life with its own way and send a message to us about what love is. Never accepted the change and remained to its own world of love and friendship. For the dog everyday there was a return of his master.

[@jennyp4934]

I sobbed uncontrollably in this movie. I've got the dvd, but I've only seen it once as not long after seeing it I lost a very loved cat and I struggled with that loss and knew I couldn't cope with the sadness of the movie. I will always keep the dvd and hope I'm up to watching again soon.

[@jaegerthedane3245]

It amazes me how big of a bond people and dogs have with each other. People are always underestimating the love of a dog and don't understand how much you mean to them and how loyal they can be. I know for a fact that if they could give us one thing in life, other than love and loyalty, they would give us the ability to see ourselves through there eyes. Only then would we realize how much we mean to them. And one thing I found out from my own dogs, is that the one reason why a dog can be such a great comfort when you are feeling down, is the fact that he doesn't try to find out why. Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our life whole.

I've watched this movie today, I never thought it was based on a true story. And this movie was a great movie that had a very good value which I mean it teach us how to treat your animal/pet in a good way,loving and being nice to any animal that you've found and of course the loyalty. I've try not to cry I couldn't hold my tears,it was so heart touching film. Being nice and kind to animals/pet is not like being nice to human its totally different no matter how bad you are in person right?. :)

[@rolandhill8226]

I had no idea at all a few days ago what this movie was about. I love dogs, have three of my own, and so I watched this tale, expecting little more than mere soft and perhaps good-feeling entertainment from it. As I'm writing this moment, a couple of days now after watching the film, I''m still welling up with tears.
I'm now an old man, but I profoundly believe that I've never in my life before wept so thoroughly, simply emptied my soul of its collected sorrows, as I wept over this movie. I sobbed convulsively. After the first sob the gates of sorrow opened wide and I couldn't stop the sobs for probably literally the next five minutes without interruption.
The matchlessly sweet and devoted soul of this dog makes me feel so small and unworthy of anything at all I've ever done or ever witnessed in my human world. I'm an atheist and so gave up feelings of God long ago, but this precious animal brought my hear-broken soul as close as I expect to ever again get to whatever I could imagine that communing with a true God might be. The character played by Gere, a character apparently grounded on some truth, was blessed in a way far too great for mere words to express by a love perhaps without its equal in the animate world. I can't adequately express what I myself would have given to wrap my arms around this saintly dog and helped for even a second to give it just the merest fraction of joy in return for its eternal, immortal and sweetest decency. I can't imagine anything at all bringing me closer to heaven than that.
I'm in love with that dog for the rest of my life. I still can't stop the tears...

[@judie5354]

This is probably the best movie I have ever seen. It was so heart-breaking when his owner died. I believe these dogs are the owner of the human.One of the most amazing scenes of the movie is when Hachiko brought his ball to the station to show his owner that he would fetch the ball because he was being loyal to his owner and Hachiko wanted to please him. I finally after years ago of watching this movie, I ordered the movie from E Bay a few weeks ago. I finally got the courage up to watch it last night because I knew I was going to be very sad, which I was. I Googled the actual life of Hachiko. it was really sad that he never took to another home. He was loyal to his owner until the day he passed away. Now I know why I love animals more than most people.

[@MrImiller07]

I own this movie on bluray DVD and it is a beautifully made and heartrending story that should have had a wider commercial release and deserved success. Gere deserves credit for bringing the project to fruition with Lasse Halstrom as the director and the supporting cast was impeccable. I defy anyone to watch the film to completion and not to be moved by the story. Gere, as evidenced by his recent work in Arbitrage, continues to be a first rate actor who looks for compelling stories.

[@grandmastercanuck]

I'm a cop with a family and this movie made me cry...our whole family was in tears!!

[@claudekonqui554]

Who said cops could not have feelings towards animals? You have a fine family and you're devoted to the whole community. Respect to you, Sir. And please also watch the original Japanese story, the movie is set in the real-time (the 1930s) and at the real place where Hachiko's wonderful story took place. Both films are excellent but as for me, in spite of Richard Gere's wonderful performance, I prefer the Japanese movie because it feels more authentic. And in a different context, if you travel to Edinburgh Scotland, ask for the story of "Greyfriars Bobby" and you will learn another magnificent testimony of a dog's unconditional love and fidelity.

I think why people would cry so much because they know that this is not a fairy tale or some rare dog that happens to stay so loyal for his owner. Dogs are documented to exhibit such behaviours since men recognises them as our best friends. We may have to care and nurture them, sometimes put up with their crap, but in return, they give us their unconditional love.
