Netflix viewers have been praising a film so emotional it brought them to tears. On LADBible’s Facebook page, Netflix Bangers, users shared their experiences and explained why the film moved them so deeply.
Many movies are known for their ability to make audiences cry. For instance, Titanic’s infamous scene with the wooden plank or Pixar’s Up, which poignantly depicts a couple’s life together until one passes away. Toy Story 3 also had a heart-wrenching moment when beloved characters faced near-death.
However, this film offers a different kind of emotional depth. The movie in question is Hachi: A Dog’s Tale, a remake of the 1987 Japanese film Hachikō Monogatari. This story revolves around Hachikō, an Akita dog known for his unwavering loyalty to his owner, Hidesaburō Ueno, a professor at Tokyo Imperial University.

Hachikō would wait daily at Shibuya Station for his owner to return from work. One day, Hidesaburō did not come back, having died from a stroke. Despite this, Hachikō waited at the station for the next ten years, with locals providing him food. This story highlighted Japanese values of loyalty, and the 1987 film brought it to a wider audience.
Hachi: A Dog’s Tale relocates the story to New York, introducing Hachikō’s tale to the US. Richard Gere stars as Professor Parker Wilson, who adopts an Akita puppy. The film’s emotional impact left many viewers in tears, prompting them to share their thoughts on Facebook. One viewer wrote, “The loyalty that a dog has to its owner compares to no other. I love this film. It’s sad and beautiful at the same time.”
Another commented, “What an excellent movie, made me cry so much.” One person even called it a ‘masterpiece’, adding, “Seriously. I don’t remember any other movie that makes you cry for so long. An undisputed emotional masterpiece.”
