Hachi: A Dog’s Tale Storyline

Eleven year old Robbie is giving an oral class report on the topic of “My Hero”, his chosen subject, Hachi, who on the surface is an unusual choice. Several years earlier, Parker Wilson, who lives in Bedridge in suburban New York City, is a college music/performing arts professor, he who makes the train commute to/from the city every working day. It is on one of those routine days going home that he finds at the Bedridge Station a puppy, who he eventually will learn was being shipped somewhere unknown, with the shipping tag lost. He also learns from Ken, a Japanese professor friend, that the dog is a Japanese breed called an Akita, and that the Japanese character on the dog’s collar tag is the number eight – “hachi”. Parker does whatever he can to find out who the dog belongs to, and although his many acquaintances around the train station do their small part in helping Parker, no one is willing to take the dog, even temporarily. So Parker takes the dog home, despite he and his wife Cate long having dismissed the idea of having a dog. However Parker is able to convince her to let the dog stay temporarily. Eventually on the high probability that they will never find the dog’s owner, Cate, upon seeing the interaction between the two, lets Parker permanently keep the dog, who he has since named Hachi. Although living in the Wilson home with Parker, Cate and their daughter Andy, Hachi becomes not a Wilson family pet, not Cate’s, not Andy’s, but Parker’s alone as a special bond forms between the two. Although not a “typical” dog in that Hachi will do not what most dogs do such as fetch, Hachi demonstrates an unwavering and lifelong loyalty to Parker in an unusual way that all around him can see. Robbie chose Hachi as his hero because of this loyalty, despite he never having met Parker, who in nonetheless an important part of his life.

Hachi: A Dog’s Tale Movie Reviews

It’s hard to hate a cute doggy film…

“Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” is a remake of a Japanese film, “Hachi-Ko” (1987). Oddly, however, this American version keeps SOME of the original Japanese story (such as the breed of dog, the dog’s name and SOME of the events in the dog’s life) and completely changes so much–especially since “Hachi-Ko” is based on a real life Japanese occurrence, not in America.

Back in the 1920s and 30s, the real Hachi was a dog owned by a Japanese professor. One thing that set him apart from most dogs was that Hachi would meet the professor at the train station after work each day! But, even more unusual is that after the professor’s death, Hachi CONTINUED this routine–waiting patiently for his master every day! In many ways, the story is like that of the very famous Scottish dog, Greyfriars Bobby–who is memorialized in Edinburgh outside the pub and church where the do would do its daily ritual (lying at his master’s grave and then visiting the pub). In fact, I did some reading and found several other similar accounts throughout the world. This leads me to wonder WHY the film did a semi-remake. Why not just make a fictionalized story? Why keep a few details and change others–especially when this Japanese dog inexplicably shows up in Rhode Island!

So does this lack of attention to detail mean I hate the film? Even as a retired history teacher, I cannot, as I must confess that I’ve owned dogs for years and currently have two massive hairy beasts who adore me (in addition to my two cats who alternate between adoration and ambivalence). I am a sucker for a film about a cute dog–and the Hachi in the movie is one of the cutest Akita’s ever (much cuter, by the way, than the original Hachi). You cannot help but like the dog and enjoy seeing him interact with his owner (Richard Gere). But, there needs to be more than a cute dog to make a really good film–and currently this fame has an astonishingly high score of 8.2! Is this number, at least in part, less about the quality of the production and more a vote to signify that most everyone loves cute dogs? Well, yes. Objectively speaking, the film is a remake–and that’s one strike against it at the onset. And, I just cannot imagine a pleasant doggy film making it to the IMDb’s Top 250 List–but it did and it’s currently #190–giving it a slightly higher rating than films like “The Best Years of Our Lives” (one of the greatest films of the 1940s), “Rocky” (the first one was very nice), “A Fistful of Dollars” and “The Celebration”–as well as the original Japanese film!! Overall, it’s a nice doggy film that is VERY family-friendly at that and with a lovely and evocative piano soundtrack. By all means watch it– but don’t be surprised if you like it but don’t love it.

A few final notes: First, I noticed that AFTER the master died in this American adaptation, it ALWAYS seemed to be snowing in this town–for years and years after the death! Second, what’s with the professor’s wife?! Her husband dies and she finds Hachi at the end years later at the train station and is surprised to see him?! Where was she at the time…off-world or taking a very long nap?! Didn’t someone bother to tell her about HER dog or didn’t she ask about how old Hachi was doing?! This seems to be a missing plot thread. Third, if you are curious, Hachi’s actual remains were stuffed after his death and he is on display at National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno, Tokyo. And, there is a statue to him as well as annual celebrations in this country. How these people view an American film company ‘appropriating’ their story is something I would love to know.

A real tear jerker from a simple premise

Based on a real dog, Parker Wilson (Richard Gere) is a music professor. One night, he finds a stray puppy at the train station. Despite his wife (Joan Allen)’s objections, they take him in and name him Hachi. The dog loyally waits for Parker every day at the train station even when Parker passes away and the family has to move away. He becomes a staple at the station.

It’s the thinnest of premise. Based on a Japanese film based on a real dog in Japan, it takes that premise to its simple tear jerker conclusion. Dog lovers will love this movie. The story is very simple done with a very light touch. Nevertheless the movie is very effective.

Loyalty

I would love to hate Richard Gere. He’s too good-looking, and knows it. The problem is that I always enjoy his performances. His star-making turn was in AMERICAN GIGOLO, where the montage in which he makes himself beautiful using name brands began the 1980s.

Yet, he takes his craft seriously, flew to Japan to work with Kurosawa, and has excelled in a wide variety of roles. So when I realized that he was working with Lasse Hallstrom in this one, I steeled myself to watch it. I love most of Hallstrom’s films, but every once in a while, his weird losers just repel me. He’s the Babe Ruth of the movies: the Home Run King, who is struck out more often than anyone else.

Well, they don’t strike out in this one. I smiled and leaked tears when the film maker thought I should. The three dogs who play Hachi at various ages are handsome creatures With Joan Allen and Jason Alexander.

This movie is based on the story of Hachiko, a dog owned by a Japanese professor, who waited for him every day when his train brought him home from the university. Even after the professor had collapsed and died, the dog waited every day until his own death nine years later. Hachiko became a symbol of loyalty and inspired the revival of his breed, the Akita — there were only thirty of them left. I don’t know how many there are now, but more.
