Dear Friends of Noah’s Ark,
You are specially invited to attend a special movie screening, Hachiko, organized by Pet Lovers Centre (PLC) and Noah’s Ark in January 2010! You will be able to catch this 1 day before it opens officially in the cinemas.
Here's the trailer below:
Movie Synopsis
Hachiko: A Dog's Story is a drama film based on the true story of the faithful Japanese dog Hachikō. It is a remake of the 1987 Japanese film Hachikō Monogatari. It is directed by Lasse Hallström, written by Stephen P. Lindsey and stars Richard Gere, Joan Allen and Sarah Roemer. This true story is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko.
Hachiko, the legendary Japanese akita, proves that there is nothing more loyal than mans best friend in this modern retelling of a cherished true story. It all begins when a college professor adopts an abandoned dog named Hachiko. The two form such a strong bond that Hachiko walks with the professor to the train station each morning and returns to the station each evening to walk the professor home again. The routine continues until one day the professor does not return to the train station.
Hachiko, however, does not give up. He returns to the same train station at the same time, faithfully waiting for his owner to return. Hachiko does this for more than nine years, until his own death. Hachiko's story is one of love, unwavering devotion, and the resounding impact one dogs affection can make.
