Like I said, the movie depicts, in its own right, the events of the actual true story. CGI was used sporadically, the story kept its soul, and everything seemed in place with both feet firm on the ground, which is quite rare in latest Hollywood productions. With that in mind, it is quite surprising how lovely and touching this adaptation actually is.

It has everything except, well, the brain. I mean, just look at that recent Hobbit adaptation. They often come as soulless, over the top, CGI ridden “ commercials” of the actual stories they are based upon. Honestly, I don’t like these Hollywood adaptations of foreign movies, books or stories. Thankfully, it is the only minor complaint I had with this adaptation, which is OK since I’m very picky when it comes to every form of art, not just movies.

In the end, it doesn’t matter that much, we all used to see such extra makeup in Hollywood movies. Layla, Chico, and Forrest are all Hachi :) Maybe because a small Shiba Inu is prettier, or maybe because it resembles the grown-up Akita Inu look more closely. Strangely, for the role of a small Hachi they used a Shiba Inupuppy. Peter’s wife Cate Wilson is nicely played by Joan Allen, while Hachi is portrayed by three Akita Inu dogs, Layla, Chico, and Forrest. In the main role is the famous Hollywood star Richard Gere, who plays a professor Parker Wilson, an American counterpart of the actual professor Hidesaburō Ueno, Hachikō’s owner. The story’s main protagonist was a dog Hachikō, which is in this American movie adaptation of the incredible story called Hachi. It is based on a true story, which originally took place in Japan, in Shibuya, Tokyo. “ Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” is a heartbreaking movie of the great loyalty between the dog and its owner. Stars: Richard Gere, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Joan Allen, and others. Lindsey (screenplay), Kaneto Shindô (screenplay for the original Japanese movie “ Hachikō Monogatari“)
