Hey guys, SonicLover1994 here for a quick review of: Hachiko Monogatari, a very sad tale about a dog named Hachiko and his owner, Hidesaburo Ueno. This movie is based on a true story and is a legend across Japan and the world.
The movie starts out pretty good. We are introduced to Hidesaburo's wife and daughter, Hachiko's Mom, and of course Hachiko. There are also minor characters like the maids who work in the Ueno household.
Throughout the whole story, Hachiko would be by his owner's side no matter what. He would walk him to the train station where Hidesaburo went to work. Hachiko would wait for his owner to come back from his job every single day. Either it would be raining, snowing, or whatever, Hachiko would be there to pick up his owner. The family weren't really fond of Hachiko, especially the maids. The daughter moves out with her boyfriend, which left the family with Hachiko. It was originally the daughter's dog, but she just left him with the family.
Toward the middle of it all, Hidesaburo; Ueno passes away. It was so sad, even Hachiko was upset. But, after his owner's death, he still waits for his owner by the train station.
After Hidesaburo's death, the wife and the maids move away and leave poor Hachiko all for his own. Hachiko eventually goes to a relative of the Ueno's. But Hachiko runs away and waits by the train station everyday for 10 years.
Sadly at the end... well I don't wanna spoil the ending, but the ending made me cry so hard. This movie probably is the saddest movie I've ever seen.
