For all dog lovers – Are you ready to watch this heartbreaking movie? The Internet has recently discovered a 2009 film on Netflix and it’s making their soul ache. The movie is based on a true story about a pet dog who performed the same routine for 10 years after his owner died. The name of the movie is Hachi: A Dog’s Tale. It’s based on a Japanese Akita dog named Hachiko who is remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner.
Hidesaburo Ueno was Hachiko’s owner and the two had an unbreakable bond. Hachik0 would meet Ueno at Shibuya Station every day after his commute home. Tragically, Ueno died of a cerebral hemorrhage at work on May 21, 1925. From this day until Hachiko’s death on March 8, 1935, he performed the same routine without fail for even a day. While Netflix boasts of an impressive catalog, this movie in particular is giving people a hard time.
People are tearing up after watching Hachi: A Dog’s Tale on Netflix
Richard Gere is the man who plays Ueno. At the time, the movie grossed $46.7 million on a budget of $16 million. But now, people are going gaga over this masterpiece. On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has a 64% critics rating and an impressive 84% audience score. Moreover, it is a remake of Kaneto Shindo’s 1987 Japanese film Hachiko Monogatari. One critic says, “I challenge even the most hard-hearted moviegoer not to spill some saltwater while watching it.”
As it is based on a true story, Hachiko is often used as a symbol of loyalty in Japanese culture. While the dog is long gone, he is remembered in today’s time with statues, movies, books, and appearances in various media. Hachik0 awaited Ueno’s return at the train station each day for the next nine years, nine months, and fifteen days. The story itself is enough to make people crumble into a ball and cry for hours. But when it is visualized, it makes it more intense. The movie is available on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

Day 2 of migraine and body ache. Gonna watch Hachi: A Dog’s Tale because at this point only ugly crying will help I feel.
Watch “Hachi, a dog’s tale” True story from Japan but modernized American version. It’s about a dog who did the same thing for almost 10 years after his owner died. He’d wait at the train station every day for his owner to return. Fantastic movie. Have tissues available
