Orientation

The story starts when a college professor ( played by Gere ) who finds a lost puppy wondering around a train station. When he cant find the pups owner, he decide to keep it and give it a name, Hachiko, Hachi for short. Hachi and the professor form an extremely strong bond. Every morning, Hachi walks to the terminal with its owner, and every afternoon at five, the dog returns to wait for the professor. On one very sad day, Parker leaves for work and becomes deathly ill, he never return to the station again. Hachi waits for hours, until the professors daughter comes to take it home. Every day for ten long years, Hachi returns to the station in anticipation of its masters arrival at the train station. Vendors and employees at the terminal feed Hachi, but the dog never accepts another master. Hachi finally dies at the terminal, still waiting for his beloved master. The real star of this movie is Hachi and it was great how the director showed scenes from the dogs point of view. Richard Gere wasnt too bad himself here, just being his classic self while the others made an adequate supporting cast. This ones a really nice, heartwarming film that shows us the value of family loyalty and long last friendship. Everyone can learn something from Hachi. Overall, This film is highly recommended to audiences of all ages, because this film is not only a delight to watch, but its tender lessons of loyalty, friendship, commitment, and love, as well as its positive portrayals of family and marriage, leave audiences with some important ideals to discuss with their families.
