Hachiko: A Dog's Story

[Jefferson'n'Ted]

I have to say I'm ambivalent about this movie. First I cried buckets. And then wondered why I would rent something that was guaranteed to bring back the feelings I had when I lost my husband.
After I got over the sad, I began to get mad. While this is a heartbreaking story of love, loss, and devotion, I kept thinking "why the hell would anyone let a dog do this to himself? Why was no one taking care of him--feeding him, taking him to the vet, making sure he was loved and cared for."

Anyone else watch this?

There NO WAY I am ever going to watch this movie. I got halfway thru the preview on some movie I rented and had to cut that short. Even seeing the posters get me upset. Nope. Not gonna do it. I'll need valium or something.

I'm sure someone...and Richard Gere thought it was a touching story, but I'd rather read a blurb about it in the paper than watch it enacted for an hour and half thank you very much.

I will have to look this up...not sounding familiar.
