Even the daughter, who used to like Hachiko very much, began to be jealous of her father's love for Hachiko, and her mother had nothing to do with it.

In this caring family, Hachiko grew up happily. His relationship with his owner was so good that every day when his owner went to school, he would wait at the school gate, and every time his owner went away, he would also wait for him at the school gate.

Go to the train station in Shibuya and wait for the owner to come back.

However, one day, the professor unfortunately fell ill and died during class, and Hachiko's happy first half of his life came to an abrupt end.

He was despised by his professor's wife and his relatives. The only person who was good to Hachiko was his master. He missed his master so much that he began to wait at the station every day, waiting for the day when his master would come back.

Not enough to eat, abused, treated as a stray dog, driven away... Hachiko's second half of life was full of misery, but every day, he would go to the station and continue to wait for the day when his master came back...

Until one day, on a snowy and windy night, Hachiko collapsed in an alley, his head always facing the direction of the station...

In his dream, he finally waited for his master...

........

The movie is over.

In the quiet screening room, the atmosphere was solemn, and soft sobs could be heard from time to time.

Even the strong men of the Showa era had red eyes and tried hard to keep their eyes open to prevent tears from flowing out.

Chikako Aoyama, who was next to Naoki Nagayama, had tears streaming down her face and wiped them with a handkerchief again and again.

"Naoki-san, Hachiko is so pitiful! How could you make the rest of Hachiko's life so miserable!"

And Hoshino Suzumi, who was sitting a seat away, also looked over angrily:

"That's right, Naoki-san, why are you so cruel! How can you sleep at night if you make Hachiko so miserable?"

He actually complained to the screenwriter Naoki Nagayama...

"But...the story itself is like this."

Nagayama Naoki retorted in a low voice, not daring to say anything at all.

If your favorite character in the novel was stabbed, it would be a trivial matter for readers to write to the author and curse him. There really would be irrational fans who would send in razor blades!

Naoki Nagayama could already hear someone in the audience saying: "This screenwriter is so outrageous!"

There are so many people in this room. If you encounter an irrational guy who is controlled by his emotions, he will find out that he is the cause of Hachiko's tragic fate...

I can't seem to beat myself...

now,

Masaki Kobayashi, who was sitting in the back row, wiped the tears that had accumulated in the corners of his eyes and said in a hoarse voice:

"Jung Ho Sang, it looks like a good movie!"

The man sitting next to him took off his glasses, wiped them with a handkerchief, and said nothing.
