Hachiko: The most loyal friend

«Hachiko: The most loyal friend"Is a remake of the Japanese painting"History of Hachiko", The world premiere of which was held on August 1, 1987.

"The history of Hachiko" was Filmed based on real events, which occurred in Japan. Eyzaburo Ueno, a university professor, traveled every day to work on the train. Before the station Shibuya, near which he lived, the professor saw off and met his faithful dog - Khatiko, a dog of the Akita Inu breed. May 21, 1925 Eisaburo Ueno died of a heart attack in his workplace. True to him Hatiko for 9 years continued to come every day to the station - he waited for his master to come. On March 8, 1935, the dead Khatiko was found near the station. In 1934, at the station Shibuya, he was placed a monument - as a tribute to the devotion and love of the dog to his master. By the way, Hatiko himself was also present at his opening ceremony.

The plot of the film "Hachiko: the most faithful friend" completely repeats this story. University Professor Parker Wilson picks up a lost puppy at the station. Since no one is behind him, the professor had to leave the dog at home, and soon a real strong friendship grows between them. Hachiko, as the protagonist calls the puppy, sees off and meets his master every day. But, as well as in real history, the professor died, and his faithful friend continued to come to the station every day, hoping to meet his master.

The film is shot from two angles: the world through the eyes of a dog and the eyes of people. Hachiko sees the world around him as simple. In his world there is no place for betrayal, and he is naive to everything. People with indifference regard the faithful dog and look at it with a degree of misunderstanding. But, seeing it day after day, year after year, they too begin to perceive the world through the eyes of a dog. They remember what true loyalty and loyalty are.

The history of Hachiko is uncomplicated, but it affects deep feelings. Love, loyalty, friendship - these feelings are familiar to everyone. And this film reminds us what our feelings should be in reality.
