![]() It has everything except, well, the brain. I mean, just look at that recent Hobbit adaptation. They often come as soulless, over the top, CGI ridden “ commercials” of the actual stories they are based upon. Honestly, I don’t like these Hollywood adaptations of foreign movies, books or stories. Thankfully, it is the only minor complaint I had with this adaptation, which is OK since I’m very picky when it comes to every form of art, not just movies. ![]() In the end, it doesn’t matter that much, we all used to see such extra makeup in Hollywood movies. Layla, Chico, and Forrest are all Hachi :) Maybe because a small Shiba Inu is prettier, or maybe because it resembles the grown-up Akita Inu look more closely. Strangely, for the role of a small Hachi they used a Shiba Inupuppy. Peter’s wife Cate Wilson is nicely played by Joan Allen, while Hachi is portrayed by three Akita Inu dogs, Layla, Chico, and Forrest. ![]() In the main role is the famous Hollywood star Richard Gere, who plays a professor Parker Wilson, an American counterpart of the actual professor Hidesaburō Ueno, Hachikō’s owner. The story’s main protagonist was a dog Hachikō, which is in this American movie adaptation of the incredible story called Hachi. It is based on a true story, which originally took place in Japan, in Shibuya, Tokyo. ![]() “ Hachi: A Dog’s Tale” is a heartbreaking movie of the great loyalty between the dog and its owner. Stars: Richard Gere, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Joan Allen, and others. Lindsey (screenplay), Kaneto Shindô (screenplay for the original Japanese movie “ Hachikō Monogatari“)
