Hachiko: A Dog's Story (2009)

Povestea reala:In 1924, Hachikō was brought to Tokyo by his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor in the agriculture department at the University of Tokyo. During his owner's life Hachikō saw him off from the front door and greeted him at the end of the day at the nearby Shibuya Station. The pair continued their daily routine until May 1925, when Professor Ueno did not return on the usual train one evening. The professor had suffered a stroke at the university that day. He died and never returned to the train station where his friend was waiting.
Hachikō was given away after his master's death, but he routinely escaped, showing up again and again at his old home. Eventually, Hachikō apparently realized that Professor Ueno no longer lived at the house. So he went to look for his master at the train station where he had accompanied him so many times before. Each day, Hachikō waited for Professor Ueno to return. And each day he did not see his friend among the commuters at the station.
The permanent fixture at the train station that was Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Many of the people who frequented the Shibuya train station had seen Hachikō and Professor Ueno together each day. They brought Hachikō treats and food to nourish him during his wait.
This continued for 10 years, with Hachikō appearing only in the evening time, precisely when the train was due at the station

Replici:

"Mi-a zis sa nu uit niciodata cat de importanta este iubirea si loialitatea"
"Viata poate fi inregistrata,dar inima nu poate fi scrisa"

Un film exceptional. Atemporal. Plin de simboluri. Imaginile au scormonit in mine.

Doar un catel poate sa ii ofere omului o iubire sincera si un devotament ce nu tine cont nici de vremea de afara, nici de moarte, nici de zile proaste.

Nu este necesar sa citesti carti despre loialitate ca sa stii sa o identifici cand o intalnesti sau cand o privesti. Este de ajuns sa ai grija de un catel.

Raman fidela unei idei: numai cine a crescut un animal poate sa inteleaga cu adevarat iubirea dintre stapan si patruped si durerea pe care o simte patrupedul sau stapanul cand unul dintre ei se duce pe lumea cealalta.

Priviti ochii unui animal. Si atunci veti intelege de ce Creatorul le-a facut necuvantatoare.
