Hatchi is a sad, sad and even more sad film.

Hatchi is about a college professor and an abandoned dog that got lost at a train station, the same train station that professor Parker was to go to twice a day. The professor took the dog home and had the dog stay ,temporarily. The next morning, at the train station, no one came for the dog and worst of all the professors wife does not like the dog, which professor Parker found out his name 'Hatchi' which means good fortune in Japanese.

As a personal opinion, I think the film went forward in time to fast with no warning, but other than that the film was very heart warming.

Hatchi was a rare breed of dog which would never catch a ball or sit when given the instruction he would only do it for a reason. Hatchi was a real dog and the plot was based on a true story. Hatchi always went, on his own, to the train station when he heard the train's whistle. He would wait and wait for his owner even if the professor wasn't there.

With the people I watched it with, many cried at this film which, at the time, was weird but looking at it from a perspective now is quite understandable because the film was supposed to be pretty sad.

My favourite part of the film was where the professor tried to get Hatchi to catch a ball but like I said Hatchi doesn't play catch, so Parker got on all fours, threw the ball and picked it up... with his mouth.

This film is for everyone and speaks to everyone watching it. There will be a great amount of people who cry while watching this film and I'm not talking about the mums a lot of children cry as well.

This was a brilliant film and I don't think I'm talking for myself right now I wasn't looking forward to watching this film but that turned all the way round at the end of this film definitely, as it was heart warming a lot, and the fact that it repeated is what gave it the sadness.
