Continuity: The puppy has obviously grown several weeks between its departure from a monastery in Japan and being found at a train station presumably less than a day after. Continuity: In the scene when Hachi is at Andy and Michael's house. Hachi (in close up) is lying on the floor while a baby walker is shown bumping into him, but there is no baby in it. In the next shot however, there is a baby. |
Quotes
|
Parker Wilson: I'm a lot older than you but I tend to think that there's an element of music that cannot be captured. Life cannot be captured. Human heart cannot be captured. The moment of creation itself is fleeting. Carl: Look, you don't have to wait anymore. He's not coming back. Andy Wilson: Hey. You know we love you, Hachi. We want you to stay here with us. If you have to go... that's okay too. Good-bye, Hachi. Ken: [Talking in Japanese] It's been a year, hasn't it? I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night and think about Parker. He was a good friend. I understand how you feel. Hachi, my friend, Parker is never coming home. But if Hachiko wants to wait, then Hachiko should wait. You want to wait for him, don't you? Have a long life, Hachi. Cate Wilson: Hachi? Hachi? Oh, old thing! You're still waiting. That's right. If it's all right, could I wait with you for the next train? Yeah? Thanks. Ronnie - 11 years: Where did Grandpa find Hachi? Cate Wilson: Ronnie, actually, Hachi found your grandfather. |
