We found “Hachi”, then when he starts to turn it on, I reminded him that he warned me a long time ago that this movie was sad. His response, “Don’t care!”, then he carelessly turned it on. He thought that he remembered some comic relief in there, but it turns out, we were both wrong. Then, all of the sudden, spoiler alert: Richard Gere's character plays the piano, then collapses to the ground and dies of a heart attack. Then, they get to the scene where they’re at the funeral. Not only was that sad, but it brought back some tragic memories. But before you stop reading, that’s not the worst part.

It just gets worse when Hachi’s at the train station waiting for his master, though his master never returned. Then, “surprise”, I cried! I’ll assure you if I pulled a SpongeBob and challenged myself not to cry for 24 hours, turning this movie on would be a mistake! It tortured me until I couldn’t take it anymore! It was so painful, I felt like I was being electrocuted, like the beginning scene in Ghostbusters. My dad turned it off because we couldn’t take it anymore! Then, I was relieved. So, the only thing I can say was “Hasta la vista, Hachi!”. But I still felt I had to make sure my dad enjoyed it. He had the perfect response, “It sucked!”.
