Hachi: A Dog's Tale 英文影评 review

by Matthew Turner

This is warm hearted, well acted and nicely shot and the dog is undeniably cute but the story is ultimately too slight to sustain a 90 minute film.What's it all about?

Directed by Lasse Hallstrom, Hachi: A Dog's Tale is a remake of a 1987 Japanese film that was in turn inspired by the true story of an Akita dog in Japanese folklore, whose undying loyalty inspired the statue outside Shibuya station.Richard Gere plays Rhode Island university professor Parker, who finds a lost Akita puppy at a train station and takes it home, much to the annoyance of his wife, Cate(Joan Allen), who had banned him from having another dog.However, Parker and the dog(who he names Hachi after the Japanese symbol found on his collar)develop such a remarkable bond that Cate is forced to relent and Hachi becomes a devoted member of the family.Every morning, Hachi accompanies Parker to the train station and waits patiently for his return, becoming a regular fixture in the community as a result.The Good

Gere is excellent as Parker, delivering a likeable, warm-hearted performance that is extremely charming.He also creates an onscreen bond with Hachi(played, as usual, by several different dogs)that will melt even the most cynical of hearts.The dog itself is impossibly cute, especially during the puppy years – if you see the film at the cinema, be prepared to be surrounded by entire roomfuls of people going “Awwww” involuntarily.It's also beautifully shot throughout and there's strong support from Allen, Sarah Roemer(as Parker's grown-up daughter), Jason Alexander(as station master Carl)and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Parker's friend Ken.The Bad

The problem is that the story, whilst undeniably moving, is ultimately too slight to sustain a 90 minute running time – once Hachi starts waiting at the station, that's basically all that happens for the next 40 minutes or so.Much of the blame for this rests with the script, which could easily have made engaging sub-plots out of each of the station-based supporting characters(particularly Erick Avari and Davenia McFadden as a hot dog

vendor and a bookseller)but leaves them frustratingly underwritten and essentially repeating the same dialogue over and over again.Worth seeing?

That said, Hachi: A Dog’s Tale is never less than watchable and the story is genuinely moving, thanks to a charming performance from Richard

Gere.

A Forever Waiting

——Hachi: A Dog's Tale

Ten years’ time only for waiting;

Ten years’ waiting only for one man;

Predestined set this life, only for itself determination.Please don’t treat me so perfect, or I will devote myself only for treat you better.I can’t talk and I am not into people-pleasing, but what I can do is let you see that I am struggling.——Hatchiko

You can stay with me in a nice and warm house.——Parker

This is a simple story about a loyal dog.There is no intricate plot, and even it is only a straight still, but it was still moved me deeply with its most simple pieces of normal life which we can easily find around us such as the train station, the restaurant, and a warm

home.Maybe you will only think it is a moving film;maybe you had been impressed by the loyal of the dog;or maybe you will think there is nothing special and it is just a movie.But I view it

differently.The story is rearranged by a real story.Hatchi is an unusual dog which belongs to akita.The real Hatchi, the dog in this story, was born in Odatr Japan in 1923.As soon as his master Dr.Eisabour Uero, a professor at Tokyo University, died in May 1925.Hatchi returned to the Shibuya train station the next day after professor died and for the next nine years to wait, until Hatchi himself died.In the movie Hatchi crossed an ocean and thousands of miles of transportation by train, and then he met Parker in a snowy day.Because it was snowing and the dog, Hatchi, was lost.Parker took Hatchi back to his home, and then kept it.Parker treated it very well and so did Hatchi.When Hatchi had grown up, he fetched parker to work everyday.All these years they played together, bathed together, slept

together and Parker gave Hatchi full-body massage everyday.They just look like a couple.Parker looks happy because Hatchi is happy, and Hatchi’s happy due to Parker being happy.But Hatchi never fetched ball for anyone even Parker, so he went to his Japanese friend, Ken, for help.Ken told Parker that the akita will never get the ball unless there are some special reasons.However, Parker didn’t notice what Ken told him.In the morning of last day of Parker’s life, Hatchi felt that something bad would happen to Parker, and it tried his best to stop Parker going to work, and Hatchi fetched ball for

Parker to tell him to stop.But it was pity that Parker only paid all his attention to Hatchi’s first fetching and ignored the special reasons of fetching.He said “Come on boy, I have to go to work or I’ll be late.See you at 5.Stay!Go home!Go on.” Finally, the old professor,Parker, hadn’t come back as he said, and he will never come back.He broke the engagement he made with Hatchi.He left everybody on the earth up to heaven.As the old professor’s friends and

relatives nobody could accepted the fact that Parker has dead.As the result, professor’s wife, Kate, escaped all the staff which will let she recall the memories about Parker, so she sold the house where they used to live and was away from the small town.Meanwhile she sent Hatchi to her daughter, but Hatchi always ran out of her house, and try its best to back to station, because Hatchi and professor had a deal to meet each other.He’s so firmly persisted on the

engagement that Parker’s daughter, Andy, had to gave up and let it go.While, have you ever noticed the detail that how unwilling

Hatchi was when it left professor, because Hatchi can’t apart with Andy, too.But he missed Parker too much, he had to Andy and his warm home.Then Hatchi spent ten years waiting for his master, his only friend coming back.Ten years time, maybe it is just one-tenth of a human life, but for a dog that means its whole life.During those years

Hatchi hadn’t exact place to live, just come and go to the train station everyday at the same place and time.Have you even considered why Hatchi spent all his life just for waiting? After a long time consideration, I find the answer in the end.The only reason is that Hatchi have nothing but his master.The happiest time of Hatchi is the time with Parker;the most enjoyable time of Hatchi is the time fetching Parker to work.Just one year after Parker’s death, Ken came to the station and had a look at Hatchi.He felt as sorrow as Hatchi.He tried his best to persuade Hatchi to leave because Parker’s never coming back.But he didn’t succeed, and said “If Hatchiko wants to wait, then

Hatchiko should wait.You want to wait for him, didn’t you? Then, you most have a long life.”

Then ten years past, Hatchi became a dirty and rather old guy.Over these years, everything had changed but Hatchi’s endless waiting and loyalty had never changed.One day Parker’s wife backed to the small town and saw Hatchi was still stand there

waiting.She cried and said “You, old thing, you are still waiting, let me wait for the next train together with you please.” Hearing these tough words and seeing the loyal dog I cried sadly.This is Hatchi’s whole life.He almost spent all his life only doing one thing—waiting for its only friend Parker, waiting to complete the uncompleted engagement.Hatchi’s story showed how great the power of loyalty and love is with all his life.He tell us what the real loyalty and true love is.Because of the real loyalty and true love Hatchi spent all his life

waiting;because of the real loyalty and true love Hatchi sacrisficed all his youth just for waiting;because of the real loyalty and true love Hatchi abandon the warm house of Parker’s daughter.I think that is the real loyalty, the ture love.However, in our human life, how many of us can be as loyalty as an animal;how many person can be loyal to another one for even ten years? I think nobody can.In the end of the film Parker’s grandson asked Kate “Where did grandpa found Hatchi?” She answered “I suppose that Hatchi

happened to found your grandpa.” I believe that as soon as Parker and Hatchi happened to meet, Hatchi had already found its own destination, and then the loyalty and love was built.Loyalty isn’t mean to be that I love you and it won’t change in the next ten thousand years;loyalty isn’t mean to be that I will wait for you for the rest of my life;loyalty isn’t mean to be that I love you beyond myself.However, loyalty is a sense of responsibility;loyalty is a sense of selfness, loyalty is a sense of concern.Actually, to be loyal to someone is easy is easy to say, but hard to do.To be loyal, you should never forget anyone that you loved.

第三篇：忠犬八公影评

Hachi, an Akito dog,who wait for his master nearly nine years at the Shibuya station,once had truly exsisted in Japan.So famous is the real dog Hachi that a life-size bronze statue of him was erected in Shibuya station.In this film he is sent to America, where his story unfolds.Richard Gere, the university professor,who finds Hachi lost on a railway platform give the little puppy new life.Richard Gere is absolutely superb as the man who learns to love his dog more than anyone or anything.He and Hachi become inseparable after a Extremely difficult process and also a journey full of love.Every day at 5 PM, Hachi trots over to the railway station to meet his master's train and accompany him on the walk home.But once Richard Gere has a heart attack and dies whilst teaching, and when Hachi goes to meet the train that day, his master does not appear as normal at the station door.Various events ensue, Hachi cannot live with any other member of the family, as they have all left the original house near the station, so Hachi returns to his post every day and waits for his master.He does this every day for ten years.He faithfully waits and scans the station door every day at 5 PM, never giving up hope or losing his loyalty to the man he adores.He does this come rain or shine, he sits in the snow, he lives on scraps, but nothing can deter him or shake his loyalty.There are some really good performances by minor characters associated with the station, a hot-dog

seller, some station employees, and other locals such as a friendly

butcher and his wife, and even a real Japanese professor who had been a friend of Gere, who comes and speaks to Hachi in Japanese, which Hachi from his facial expression clearly recognises.They are very

effective indeed, which is not an easy thing to pull off.I don't know why poor Hachi was left outside at night in a doghouse.People have wanted Hachi in the house at night, rather than in the cold during the winter.But then people are weird, and only dogs are sensible and loving, as this film proves.If ever a dog could teach us all something it is Hachi.He can instruct us in the true meaning of the word 'loyalty'.Richard Gere

teaches Hachi the meaning of love,and Hachi guards the love with all the life.The name of “Hachi” Was registered by love!

第四篇：影评——《忠犬八公》

影评——《忠犬八公》

《忠犬八公》这部影片改编自1935年发生在日本的真实故事，1987年拍成日本电影，由仲代达矢主演，该片曾在当年日本引起轰动。2009年12月，该片的美国版本上映，由导演莱塞.霍尔斯道姆执导，编剧为Stephen.P.Lindsey,主演为：查理.基尔，琼.艾伦，萨拉.罗默尔。

《忠犬八公》这部影片的故事情节并不复杂，整部影片的拍摄极具写实效果。该故事讲述的是：理察·基尔饰演的大学教授帕克在小镇在车站上偶遇一只可怜的小秋田犬，它孤苦无依的身影惹起他的怜悯，帕克收留了这个可爱的小秋田犬，开始他们主仆的传奇。在漫长的日子里小八公和帕克产生深厚的感情和无限的默契。八公每天准时陪伴帕克上班，傍晚五点准时出现在车站门口迎接帕克下班，无论刮风下雨几年如一日，火车站的站长，卖热狗的小贩，店铺老板娘，还有很多小镇的人们都见证着小八公和帕克的情谊。有一天帕克上课时突然发病，去世了。但是小八公还是每天下午五点准时到达，等候自己的主人，小八公不知道它的主人永远都不会回来了。一天又一天，一月又一月，一年又一年，小八公就这样一直等了九年直到小八公病逝。

首先，值得一提的是影片贯穿着一曲由钢琴及小提琴和奏的配乐，节奏缓慢清晰，音乐细腻婉转而且极具伤感性。这种配乐极具感染力，不但能给观众带来悲伤的气息，也为影片平添了许多凄楚的色彩。在这样一首哀伤的音乐感染的环境中，再配上影片本身的情节，看到许多观众留下的泪水也都不足为奇了。

其次，在影片的画面感上，影片也做了很好的诠释。整部影片都以唯美柔和质感来展示，这种画面感能带给观众视觉上温馨感，朴实感，也更好的体现影片平实，朴素的情节。

再次，在取景方面，根据故事的真实性，影片所取场景皆是平常生活中常常接触到的，更加给人以亲切感。例如，火车站、铁路、街道等。就镜头的角度而言，在影片中有许多脸部特写，对主人公帕克的面部特写，以及对八公眼睛的特写。即使当时的主角并没有流露出太多感情，但在剧情的渲染下，这些特写也有打动人心，让人潸然泪下的作用。给我印象比较深刻的一幕是八公在主人死后，每天都坐在火车站门口的花台前，花台中间有一颗大树，导演就借助这棵树做了一个特效：八公坐在树下等待，那棵树绿色的树叶慢慢变为黄色，然后落叶，最后又变为绿色，再变为黄色，再一次落叶，这样反复了四次。在这个过程中，悲凉的旋律一直插于其中，又刚好给八公拍了一个眼部特写，这些种种细腻的无不体现导演心细如尘，相信看到此时，已经没有几个人能不落泪。

最后就是剧情和人物了。这部影片情节起伏并不大，由教授从火车站带回八公、与八公相处的过程、教授死去、八公守候十年便结束了。这不仅描写了八公的一生，也深刻反映了人的一生。简单、平实、感人至深的故事，却给人无尽的感动与深思。八公每天准时陪伴帕克上班，傍晚五点准时出现在车站门口迎接帕克下班，教授死后，八公无论刮风下雨几年如一日地等待着它的主人。火车站的站长，卖热狗的小贩，店铺老板娘，还有很多小镇的人们都见证着小八公和帕克的情谊。在后面八公的等待过程中，他们又处处帮助八公，流露着人年间真情。特别是那买热狗的老头，看到教授妻子拥抱八公那一刻留下的泪水，更是让我感动至深。

影片中一人一狗，将人狗之间的“情”表现的淋漓精致。理查基尔把一把年纪的帕克的善良，细心，乐观，演绎的真情流露。秋田犬表演更是无可挑剔，没有一点电脑特技的情况下，小秋田犬的表现真的完美至极。一种忠诚的真实演绎，一种对于人类内心的彻底洗涤。特别是影片的最后一幕，等待十年的八公，终于在天堂与主人相遇，也许，在听到主人一句“Hey,Hachi”的时候，八公会觉得再多的等待也是值得的。

《忠犬八公》上映过后，票房居高不下，而网上也是好评一片。这部感人肺腑的影片究竟有什么样的魔力呢，这不得不引起更多人的思考。

第五篇：忠犬八公影评

《忠犬八公》影评

《忠犬八公》这部电影讲述了一只秋田狗八公和它主人之间的感人故事。主人是一名音乐教授，小八是被教授从车站捡来的小狗，开始教授的妻子并不同意养小八，但是教授对小八的爱感动了妻子，于是小八之后便得以与教授一起生活。它每天都会去车站接教授下班，可是有一次，教授在上课期间突然发病不幸身亡，而小八不懂得这些，忠实的它只知道，自己还没有接到主人下班回来，便一直在车站出口等主人的归来，风雨无阻，直到自己生命的消逝。

一部影视作品能够受到观众的喜爱，一定会有某些方面的原因，或许是它表达的情感触动了观众的心弦，或许是它的对白让观众刻骨铭心，也可能是它的配乐很有特点，总之，原因可能会多种多样，而这部影片的取胜法宝，正是它向观众所传递的人狗之情。它没有什么经典的对白，也没有多么独特的配乐，但仅仅是其中的“情”，已经让观众无法抗拒地爱上了这部电影。

从影片的开始，其实就能感受到教授对小八的爱，虽然答应妻子要为它在别的地方另找一个家，但是他不舍得把小八送到动物收容所，他希望可以替小八找到一个安稳的容身之处。在找到之前，教授冒着妻子发脾气的风险，把小八悄悄地领回了家。在暴风雨的夜晚，他会把小八从小木屋抱回书房，陪它一起看棒球赛，不让它孤单。他们可以一起吃一个盒子里的爆米花，或许只是一个小小的画面，可是这个场景却深深地触动了观众的心灵，他们不再是主人与宠物的关系，更像是朋友，尽管此时教授的妻子还没有同意让小八留下，但这似乎已经注定小八会被同意留下，和教授一起生活。

在教授与他的日本朋友交谈过程中，有这样一句话，令观众感受颇深，“可能你捡到了它，它也选择了你”，仿佛小八不是被遗弃了，而就是为了和教授在一起才来到这个陌生的城市，他们之间，有一种冥冥的缘分，似乎从他们相逢的开始，小八就选择了教授作为它的主人。

有人说，小八会忽然去捡球，是因为主人忽视了它，这是它讨好主人得到主人注意的一种方式而已，而我却更愿相信，这是小八与主人之间存在的某种微妙的情感联系。“等有一天它会给你捡球的时候，一定有什么特殊的理由”，开始它不肯与教授一起去车站，并不是因为它在赌气，而后来自己叼着球跑到车站主动让主人扔球，是它真的感觉到了，这可能就是满足主人的最后一次机会了。或许

有人会觉得这有点异想天开，但爱不就是这样么，无法解释，也无需解释，有爱，就会有奇迹。

然而，主人离开了，再也不能回来了，可八公还是一如既往，在同样的时间，同样的地点，等主人的归来。一次次地失望而归，但从没放弃过，八公不懂，或者说是，它不想懂，主人的这次离开。它被送到了教授女儿的家里，可是它没办法做到在那里安心的生活，还牵挂着“一直没有下班回家”的主人，它离开了那里，去流浪，但依旧是每天蹲守在车站的出口处，渴望能看到教授的身影。

八公背后的树叶一次次地变换着颜色，绿色，黄色，凋落，绿色，黄色，凋落„„这一等，就是十年，八公老了，浑身肮脏不已，再也不是原来那只干净漂亮的狗，可是，唯一没变的是，八公等待的眼神，它还是傻傻地坚持，自己会等到主人。十年，是怎样的一个概念，对人类来说，或许只是几分之一，但，却是它的一生，一只狗用自己的一生，向所有人完美地诠释了，什么是忠诚，什么是爱。

当八公满身疲惫趴在一节破废火车下面的镜头出现在屏幕上时，所有人都会潸然泪下，眼泪里面包含了观众对八公的崇敬和心疼，同时也被八公对主人的忠诚感动的一塌糊涂，虽然八公只是一只狗，但它却有着和人类一样丰富的感情，它和主人之间的爱，无法用言语来形容。电影的最后，八公半眯着眼，透过它的眼睛看这个黑白的世界，它又看到了主人，终于等到了主人，他们又像往常一样玩闹，然后，镜头回到了现实中来，八公永远的闭上了眼睛，他们终于在天堂相聚了。或许这也算是一个完美的结局吧。

整部影片是以平淡的方式来叙述这个故事，没有大起大落、跌宕起伏的剧情，有的只是生活中最习以为常的温情片段，但仅仅是这些，就足以赚得观众的大把眼泪。这部电影让我们明白，或许它们不是我们的全部，而对它们来说，我们却是它们的一生。善待它们，因为它们只有你。
