The Story of Hachiko" is a movie I watched and learned about the friendly and touching story of dogs! First of all, this movie is an American version of the movie. It has many details that are very good. It is worth watching for friends who like dogs!
This is a touching story, and all the viewers who have seen it are moved, including me. The
film is based on real events in Japan. To this day, there is a bronze statue of Dog Hachiko at Shibuya Station in Tokyo, and its remains are also preserved by the National Ueno Science Museum. In the 1990s, Japan once put this theme on the screen. Later, the Americans remakes the play, and the place of the story is correspondingly changed to the United States.
However, I am more interested in the film's narrative method, because it is easy to be sensational, but it is difficult to be smart. Don’t you see that many domestic film and television dramas are desperately trying to move the audience. The actors have also failed to perform, sometimes screaming heartbreakingly, and sometimes crying like a stream of tears, but apart from a few emotionally fragile aunts who will wipe a few tears, Most people are still indifferent, even the actors on the screen are crying, but the audience in the theater is laughing. To touch people's hearts, sometimes "moisturizing things silently" is more effective, especially for such a warm subject. The one-and-a-half-hour film of
is divided into three paragraphs: the first part of
is that the professor picked up the dog, and his wife strongly opposed the adoption, but in the end his love for dogs touched her; the second part of
was Xiao Ba grew up. Developed the habit of going to the station to pick up the professor to and from work every day. One day it suddenly learned the ball picking game that it had always refused, but after that day, the professor never came back; the third part of
is after the professor passed away, Xiao Ba was unwilling Living with the professor's daughter's family, rushing back to the station for a long distance, sleeping and eating, waiting for the professor to come back every day.
Except for the dramatic conflicts in the first part, the other two parts are relatively plain. If it is an ordinary elementary school student writing an essay, it is estimated that one or two hundred words will be finished, but now it has been turned into a movie of more than an hour, which makes people uncomfortable. I don’t admire the Japanese screenwriter’s ability to express ordinary life (the American version uses the Japanese version 22 years ago).
Of course, the Americans have also succeeded in localizing the script. For example, in the Japanese version, there is Xiao Pachi wailing at the professor's portrait and running with the professor's coffin, which is quite impactful, but these are not in line with the national conditions of the United States, so the American version designed the plot of picking the ball: Xiao Pachi When he arrived at the professor's house, he taught it to pick the ball, and even crawled on the ground with the ball in his mouth (it was this scene that moved the professor's wife), and showed it to him. But who knows that this American life is not Japan Xiaoba never learns the nature of a dog; after that, the professor’s hairy son-in-law came to the house and played a game of picking the ball in order to get close to the prospective father-in-law’s pet. As a result, the dog remained indifferent and the embarrassed boy had to do it himself I went to pick up the ball, and in a panic, I tripped and fell and made a fool of myself. On the morning of the professor's death, Xiao Ba seemed to have a foreboding, chasing the station with the ball in his mouth, unexpectedly showing two things. The skill of recruiting and picking balls made the professor happy. In this way, through the core prop of "ball", the three parts are effectively penetrated. And the part of Xiaoba’s death was well preserved by the American version: in the wind and snow, Xiaoba was in a trance when he saw the gate of the station open, and the professor called his name with a smile on his face. As if going back to the past, he hurriedly rushed into the arms of the professor, but in reality, the old Xiao Ba was lying in the snow and slowly closed his eyes...
movies with animals as the protagonist are very difficult to shoot, China is here. There are few attempts in this regard. Apart from the fact that animal actors are more difficult to control, how to see the truth in the details is also a test of skill. Take this story as an example. There can be no ups and downs in daily dog raising. Most of them are trivial things. It is already difficult to make the audience look interesting and not bored. Moreover, after the death of the professor, even people This point of dog interaction is also lost. It is easier said than done to show that a dog is waiting day after day and to move people! The efforts of American and Japanese filmmakers in this regard are quite meaningful.
