I just got this DVD today and just got through watching it. It's a marvously done movie. I'm not a big Richard Gere fan but I liked him here. Hachi is based on a true Japanese story about a dog who waits for his master to come home, even after his master dies, Hachi still goes to the train station and waits. If you don't mind crying lots and lots of tears I highly recommend this DVD. Has anyone else seen it?
