Watching the film to the end would of told you it was a true story. As the documented story said. I'm not being pedantic, it's called being right.

Yeah based on a true story, the Futurama episode was also based on it, doesn't mean it's non fiction though

The core base of the story is fact. The dog did wait loyally for his master for nine years.
Adapting that kind of story would call for a few changes.

So I've just spent the last half hour crying my eyes out. I'm a mess right now LOL

It was a perfect story, the music was lovely, and...I don't think a film's made me cry this much before, so I'll give it a 9/10 (not a 10 because it's a bit short and there isn't like amazing acting or anything )

Spoiler:

They didn't even get that part right, the dog waited 10 years in the film.

And it was how likeable the characters where, the family and wife, the brilliant portrayal of the owner by Richard Gere (who probably was nothing like the actual owner), how well shot the film was, the music - none of which were part of the original story - that made the film have any affect on me. The basic premise of the film is about the real Hachiko, but I think too much has been added and changed for it to be considered anything other than a film based on a true story.

I'd give it a 9/10 as well, the best dog film i have ever watched anyway

Spoiler:

I found Richard Gere really suited to the role of the owner and Sarah Roemer suited to the role of Daughter the Japanese guy was probably my favourite character in the whole film the guy who played him is a really good actor i don't think i've seen him in anything before.. love how they did the setting for where he was waiting for the his owner and how they made the minor characters in the film bond with Hachi whilst he was waiting, also the scene where Hachi was telling the owner to turn around and then he took the ball to him to play fetch for the first time ever before he left was really well done

Hey. You know we love you, Hachi. We want you to stay here with us. If you have to go... that's okay too.

Lost it when the dog came sauntering down the walk aged 10 years. Had to look away and stare at the treeline outside for a few moments.
