The role of the main hero in the film was brilliantely performed by a popular American film actor Richard Gere. I highly recommend to watch film "Hachiko" to all those people who haven't seen it yet. This is an amazing story about the dog which was the most faithful and devoted friend in the whole world for her owner. Now in Japan you can see Hachiko's memorial. The plot is remarkable but very tragic: Parker Wilson (Richard Gere), a University Professor, returning home in the evening after work, finds at the train station a lost puppy. After several unsuccessful attempts to find the owner of the dog, Parker decides to keep the puppy, naming him Hachiko. From that moment between Parker and Hachiko occurs deep friendship and sincere affection, they spend much time together.
Every morning, Hachiko accompanies the master, hurrying to work, to the station, and in the evening waits for his return, sitting on the parapet in front of the entrance to the station. This ritual continues for a long time, Hachiko is already known to all the sellers and employees of the station. One day, Parker went to work, where he had a heart attack and he died... but Hachiko continues to come daily to the station and wait for the Parker’s train. Parker's wife moves to another city and wants to take Hachiko, however, he escapes and returns to the station, where remains to live. Ten years later, the wife of Parker arrives to visit the grave of her husband and at the station she sees Hachiko still waiting for his master... After some time, Hachiko dies on the parapet, where he so many years was waiting for Parker.
