Gosh, I had never cried so much to a movie before. Ever. I was crying by the second half of the movie and by the end I was bawling. This movie is so touching, inspiring, and most of all emotional. Being the fact that this is based on a true story makes this even sadder. At the same time, I absolutely LOVED this movie. One of my personal favorites now.

It was out here in theatres some time ago, had no chance to watch it

Planned to buy the DVD, never got to do it... This saturday it´ll be on TV, try to watch it. Well, it should be no problem, got a receiver with recording function. Hope not to forget to program it.

So after reading all these posts I think I really should watch it, it seems to be worth it. As far as I can say by watching trailers it seems to be a really good movie.

aww, it came to theaters in Germany? it went straight to DVD here

.. yeah, you really should watch it.. just make sure to have some kleenex with you..

I highly reccomend you also read Hachiko waits by Leslea Newman.. focuses more on the true story than in the movie.. ( I creid more reading that book than I did in the movie) also Hachiko the true story of a loyal dog by Pamela turner

.

I don´t know if the books where out in Germany, but I´ll make a search.
Heh and I saw a Shiba Inu plush at a store once, it had a lot similarites to the movies Hachiko.

this is kind of a spoiler.. but Hidden text : click to show

when we meet Hachiko as a pup he's supposedly an Akita pup, yet there's a pup at the end of the movie that's actually a Shiba Inu.. not to mention there's at least one female Akita that plays Hachi.. (even though he's male)

Wow, this movie was fantastic but amazingly sad at the same time. Ask anyone, I never cry during movies. I'm not saying it to be tough, I really mean it. Whenever others cry during movies and the see I don't they accuse me of having a black hole for a heart or no heart at all XD.

But this movie was so touching and sad I couldn't stop my eyes from watering up. Even though I had been told it was sad and what was going to happen, I cried my eyes out the entire second half of the movie.

Still, it was an amazing film. Just because it was sad gives me no reason to downgrade it <3.

Same here for the crying part; I hate crying and I never cry in public unless I can't stop myself. The second half of the movie was.. wow. There's no way you can stop crying, it's an emotional roller coaster by that part. Usually if a movie manages to make me cry I upgrade it because I feel I should congratulate it. xD Any movie that can get me so emotional like that is an excellent movie to me.
