Anyone who has approached this film reluctantly, some by accident, perhaps encouraged by the intention of mocking secret and shameful, it will remain deeply surprised. The true story (almost, it is obvious that everything is translated into optical Western) Hachico dog, able to wait for the return of the master until the end of his days, is certainly cloying, free and built a coffee table, but undeniably moving and involves. While trying to maintain a formal critical distance, it is impossible not to be excited by the story told in this film. If the true protagonists of the story are the tears, capable of flowing and abundant natural several times while watching, you can not deny the inspiration of sincerity that involves all the characters that make up this story, be they players or just supporting actors. From Richard Gere good always good to Joan Allen and their sweet daughter, passing by the hot dog man and the clerk of the station, obviously up to the faithful Hachic or all those who participated in the film, undertake to give their contribution to excite even the most politically astute. We must therefore understand, although I believe it is true that the cinema is first of all emotion, then Hachico hits the target, giving two hours of touching sentiment and shared emotion to an audience that maybe is not prepared to accept it. Conversely I am not suggesting that this is a great movie overall, but certainly a great film for those who want to be inundated by a flood of overwhelming emotions and let go a healthy and spontaneous tears liberating. Perhaps not much, but certainly not little.
THE PLOT IN TWO WORDS
Based on a true story, the film tells the dog Hachico and its special relationship with the boss. After the death of the dog waiting for his return for years, giving evidence of a fidelity without borders, able to cross the boundaries of earthly life.
THE SCENE THAT IS THE FILM
All final part where Hachi waits in vain for the return of the master ... impossible not to cry.
ANGLE CONCEPTS intriguing
If Richard Gere does not need presentations (personally his best films are Breathless, Internal Affairs, Sommersby, Primal Fear and Chicago), Joan Allen is instead actress too often underestimated. Among his performances The Crucible (Daniel Day Lewis on), Pleasantville (a delightful little movie with Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon and Jeff Daniels) and the last two films on Jason Burne . For his part the director Lasse Hallstrom is responsible for considerable My Life as a Dog of touching House Rules of the cider (with a monumental Michael Caine) and overestimated Chocolat.
