Title: A real tear jerker
Product review: Get out the tissues, you're gonna need it! Excellent movie, Gere is great, the dog magnificent and the supporting cast was well chosen. Joan Allen would not have been my choice for his wife, but she grows on you as the story progresses and she redeems herself when she encounters Hachi after having been away for a number of years. It is very touching. Gere's professor colleague/friend was a great choice and lent some much needed Japanese history & background to the tale. Jason Alexander was the least sympathetic character but overcame his schmuck role with some dignity near the end.Every child should see this movie for it character lessons and portrayal of undying love, as well as for its historical reference. It's on my list as Christmas gifts for the hard-to-buy friends. Enjoy again & again!
