more than enough sap' to turn my appetite toward a slew of transgressive cinema.

awww... even a badass such as myself found elements of the film profoundly affecting. I'd likely concur with you, however, relative to the Richard Gere remake that I steadfastly refuse to watch.

i really love this movie. first, it's the way professor Ueno treated the Hachi. Hachi sure was a lovable dog. It's sad that he put too much love to his master. but i think that's the quality of a dog. maybe we should learn all these things about fidelity to a dog like Hachi. music and setting was sure enough for me. great story, i think!
