Although this one is a remake an old Japanese
movie again based on a true story of early 20th century about a dog
– Hachiko, who waited everyday for his deceased master at a Japanese railway
station for almost 9 years. Richard Gere as usually is too good in lead as the
master who finds the dog on a railway platform and takes it home. They try
their level best to find the owner or a family who will adopt him but then as
fate had it – they keep him and how he becomes an important part of their
family and what happens next is a heartwarming drama. It’s such a nice story
and made in an awesome way that we were hooked to it big time – so much so that
now I want to see its original too just to know if it would be any better than
this one. The majority of the movie has almost no dialogues but just the dog in
full frame waiting for his master to come back and how the camera follows him
throughout. Even the support cast like the Railway Station Manager, Hot Dog
Stand guy, Lady in restaurant and couple of more people leave a mark on the
audience. It is an outstanding story of a dog and shows us yet again that why a
dog is called the most loyal animal known to mankind. It’s a must watch for all
and a movie which should never be missed by anyone. I will give it a damn good
4.5/5 – almost a classic.
