Hachiko Monogatari (1987)Winner of the 1987 Genesis Awards (awarded for films that contribute to the humane treatement of animals.user on imdb:밐achiko monogatari?is an excellent melodrama that tells the true story of Japan뭩 most tenacious dog 밐achi? whose bronze statue, to this day, stands watch over Shibuya Station, Tokyo. The dog who plays Hachi is a first rate actor, and more importantly he뭩 as fuzzy as a pair of bunny slippers. But not only is this a fascinating history lesson and a seriously awwwwwwww!-worthy film, it뭩 a very poignant and profound commentary on the concept of 밿nterspecies altruism? a concept which Darwin himself was unable to explain.Done in a tastefully subtle way (not over the top like a Disney flick), this film presents to us the inexplicable bond between two souls of different species (human and canine). None of the other characters in the film seem to understand it; the man뭩 own family cannot appreciate it; and I wouldn뭪 be surprised if we, the audience, are not expected to understand it either. This adds even more value to the magical bond which Professor Ueno & Hachi shared.Directed by: Seijir?K?amaCountry: JapanLanguage: JapaneseSubtitle: EnglishYear: 1987Genre: DramaCode:http://www.filesonic.com/file/krrRYbt/Hachiko_Monogatari_[1987].avi
