I asked my 14 year old niece, Jarmaine, to write a guest post here in my blog. We both agreed that she will write about the movie we watched last night. So here's Jarmaine's story about the movie Hachiko...

"We have so many choices of what movie to watch that night, but only one film stood out, it's "Hachiko : A Dog’s Tale". The story is about the wonderful, kind and very loyal dog. It’s a remake of true story of japanese dog Hachiko.


A college professor Parker Wilson played by Richard Gere, found Hachi, an Akita puppy or should I say Hachi found Parker in the train station. Parker and her wife Cate adopted Hachi. Parker and Hachi became bestfriend. Whenever Parker goes to work, Hachi will always accompany him to the train station and will just leave after Parker safe departure then will go back in the afternoon to wait for his master's arrival. But we all know that life must come to it’s ending, Parker died because of heart attack while he teaches music to his students. Hachi waiting in front of the station for his master’s return, which I think was the climax of the story.

Hachi will always be seen at the same spot where he usually waits for his master hoping he'd see Parker again. Hachi did it for ten years, despite the fact that his master was dead. Hachi ignored all the obstacles,
trial and challenge of time which stun and touches our heart that made us all cry. One thing that made us really cry is when Parker’s wife Cate returned and saw Hachi waiting for her husband in front of the station , it’s like Cate was amazed by Hachi because he waited such a long period of time just for the come back of "nothing".

Even cold-hearted will cry if they watch this movie. This is very inspiring, it teaches me a very important lesson: "Waiting is not about what will you get if you wait it’s about how you wait!"

I wish that there’s well being in this world that could wait just like what Hachi do! But I think they don’t exist now!"
