I don't remember much of "Hachiko Monogatari" because at the time I saw it I was only 5 or 6 years old. I remember it was late in the evening and my parents had gone out. The ending completely devastated me back then, tears and all. It threw me in quite a shock and I remember going outside to look for my mum and dad. This movie had stayed with me for such a long time. I watched it on the Bulgarian national TV - it was back in the 80's, around the time when the film was released. I remember being fascinated with the Japanese setting of the film and the dog. That is in fact all I remember about the movie - the dog waiting at the train station, its master giving a speech and dying and finally when the dog died. The emotional impact at the end was unforgettable. I would like to see this film again after all these years, but it seems like it is quite obscure and I don't know if I will have the chance to see it once more. Until a couple of years ago I didn't even know how the film is called (internet helped). If I was to watch "Hachiko Monogatari" again, probably it wouldn't seem as emotionally devastating as it did back when I was a little child. But for a film to leave such a great impression on me, it must be worth experiencing again.
