Some of my girl-friends asked me to watch "Sad" movies sometimes and i never cried except for this movie, hell i even cried when watched 4 minute clip of the last scene
I was in Shibuya 2 weeks ago and saw the statue. I pointed it out to my wife and gave her an overview of the history and she started crying in the middle of the crowd.
The old saying that 'A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself,' really hits home in this movie and the story of Hachiko. Your tears are a testament to understanding true love.
We have a similar story in my hometown (Cadiz, Spain). A dog called Canelo kept waiting for his master in front of the hospital. His master had passed and he waited for him at the hospital for years until he also passed away. I remember seeing him on my way back from high school. Now a street next to the hospital has his name, and a plaque in his honor 💙
If it makes you feel better, in 1994, Nippon Cultural Broadcasting in Japan was able to lift a recording of the real Hachikō barking from an old record that had been broken into several pieces. On Saturday, 28th of May 1994, 59 years after his death, millions of radio listeners tuned in to hear Hachikō's bark. 🐕
My dad is a Vietnam Marine vet. He was in combat and received the Purple Heart. He's a very tough guy. He saw this movie last week. He cried his eyes out
We have a Japanese Akita named Hiro. He looks like Hachi. The color is called a Red. He is extremely loyal, affectionate, and he is also able to sense the onset of my youngest son’s seizures. They are truly special dogs. It is based on a true story.
My wife and watched it, we both ugly cried. We showed it to my mother in law, she was bawling for hours. Then she showed it to her friends and their kids, they all cried. This is the one movie that I think universally makes almost everyone cry 😂
I definitely agree. I cried when I saw this (of course, no surprise) and even though I tend not to be much of a "crier" in general, given how objectively emotionally heart-wrenching I could see this movie is, I questioned myself "Why didn't I cry even HARDER than I ended up doing?" I got my answer later that night as I was trying to go to sleep, and scenes from the movie kept creeping into my brain and I finally noticed that I had subconsciously been pushing them away "because they were too painful to think about"... so, that would be "suppression", I'm pretty sure is the term for that. I'm aware doing that is not the healthiest thing... so I went ahead and let myself think, and process everything fully. Which did result in one of the hardest cries of my life. Then, here I am again with this movie, watching this reaction... as I spasmodically cry my eyes out... for the third time.
Lived in Japan for many years and my wife and I visited Tokyo a couple of times and even made our way to see the Hachiko statue. Still there today after all these years. Such a beautiful story
Yeah, Shibuya was on my way to my daily commute (until covid hit and I went full time wfh) and I've been by that statue countless times. Like Simone said, it's heartbreaking, but a good reminder of how dear these creatures are that we 'just think of as pets'.
@@_Shadoh_ I definitely recommend it. His statue is also right next to the famous Shibuya scramble crossing so if you wanted to make a day (or probably a whole morning or afternoon) of it, it's within walking distance of the Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park and Harajuku along with Omotesando street. Kind of a touristy thing, but I also kinda consider it a must if it's your first time to Tokyo. edit: pre-covid (not sure since), there was a never ending line of people posing with the statue to take pictures so be prepared to wait in line (albeit usually not long as people are courteous about going in, snapping the pic and leaving for the next person) unless you're ok with just a pic from a distance.
As you know this is a true story, except it took place in Tokyo. Hachiko went to the station daily for 10 years waiting for his master to arrive. After the dog died, they created a statue of Hachiko in Shibuya, which is where people wait to meet each other. My wife is Japanese and her mother used to see Hachiko waiting at the station often.
I'm Japanese. The story of "Hachi" is a true event that took place in Japan and is known as the story of "Hachiko, the Loyal Dog." It is a well-known tale among Japanese people. The statue of Hachiko at Shibuya represents this story. Note: The story of Hachiko is a famous tale of a loyal Akita dog named Hachiko who continued to wait for his deceased owner at the Shibuya Station in Tokyo every day for nearly 10 years. The story has captured the hearts of people worldwide and symbolizes loyalty and devotion. LOVE from Japan.
This movie broke me when I saw this first time. I remember telling myself "it's okay it's not real" then I saw its a true story and I just continued to sob uncontrollably. I always cry watching this, it never gets easier.
I know what you mean... even though I knew it was a true story to begin with, part of my brain sort of forgot throughout the movie, then the reminder about it being a true story at the end really, really broke me 😭 And my first time was only the beginning... even though I tend not to be much of a "crier" in general, given how objectively emotionally heart-wrenching I could see this movie is, I questioned myself (regarding the FIRST time I saw it) "Why didn't I cry even HARDER than I ended up doing?" I got my answer later that night as I was trying to go to sleep, and scenes from the movie kept creeping into my brain and I finally noticed that I had subconsciously been pushing them away "because they were too painful to think about"... so, that would be "suppression", I'm pretty sure is the term for that. I'm aware doing that is not the healthiest thing... so I went ahead and let myself think, and process everything fully. Which did result in one of the hardest cries of my life. This reaction is my third exposure to the movie (if you include my mental-only exposure that one night)... and both those second and third times were very hard cries indeed.
My dog died last month and was one week shy of 17 years old... not gonna lie... this movie just made me sob thinking of my old and faithful friend again. I miss him so much... There is no greater companion, no better loyalty, nothing stronger than a dog's love for his master.
I love that the statue still even today serves as a central landmark for millions of friends to find and meet each other in one of the busiest, most densely populated downtown shopping districts in the world. It's like a part of his spirit still resides there helping others find their own loved ones as he continues to wait for his.
I had a Black Lab for 12 years. His name was ''Smokie''. I worked in a local Industry & he would sit by the door, every day at the time I was expected home. Even when I changed shifts, he quickly acclimated to the time change & there he would be. When I sat in my recliner watching TV, he would position himself in front of me, wedged between my knees, occasionally glancing up at me, seemingly to make sure I was still there & was ok. I loved that little guy so much. He is my Hero.
A few years ago, my wife and me where at home for christmas, And we wanted to see a nice family movie, and we tought this was a hart warming movie. We both cried so much. Iam an adult man at the age of 52, and i never cried before because of a movie. But this one does. Even if i watch this now i get again tears in my eyes.
The loyalty of dogs is legendary. When Odysseus returned in disguise after 20 years away in the Trojan war, only his dog, Argos, recognized him, wagged his tail in greeting, and then died, his long wait over.
It was fantastic, the only downside is that I don't think I could handle that again to give CineBinge a watch count (maybe with the volume down on another tab), such a good crossover.
me too I thought I was being pranked by a deep fake channel but sure enough my two favourite reactors are in a video together , I love seeing how they interact with each other
I remember lying on my sofa watching this film years ago on a Saturday afternoon expecting a nice entertaining dog movie and by the end I was bawling like a baby. Also, there's nothing better than seeing two of your favorite reactors together as one. This definitely should happen more often and I am sure the fans will love it!
Your experience seing this film is very close to mine. Never heard about this movie, and didn’t know the actual story behind. Thought I was in for a “regular” feel good dog movie. I wasn’t. 😭😭😉
I remember watching this in theatres, thinking it was just gonna be a cute movie about a dog. Every single pair of eyes were streaming before and after we left the theatre, there were so many of us recuperating in the bathrooms wiping our eyes and laughing at how much of a mess we all were. Good boy Hachi, you earned your forever rest with your master. I’m sure his heart broke from the other side watching his loyal friend sit and wait for him every single day. I’m also beyond happy to know that Hachi was never treated with malice or disrespect while he sat outside that station all day everyday. People these days are not so kind to perceived strays.
Some people were kind to Hachitaro, but others tormented him. I heard that after it became widely known through newspaper articles, the tormenting stopped.
I remember this movie, I saw it many years ago, and haven't watched it since precisely because it was heartbreaking then. Now, at 56 and watching this reaction while laying in bed with my own dog, I'm bawling and holding him close. We're completely codependent on each other. 😢😭
Faithful Hachi is a famous dog. There is a bronze statue at Shibuya station in Japan. It is said that when the bees were alive, everyone gave them food. Great companion. may his soul rest in peace
I visited Japan in 2017 and came across his statue at Shibuya station. I had no idea the significance of it at the time but there was a huge crowd gathered there. Also, a cat was sleeping in between his legs. When I got back home, I looked up the statue and discovered the story about him and also found that this movie had been made about him.
Not to diminish the tale or what Hachiko means to Japanese residents, but the reason there was a crowd there is because it is THE landmark people use for meeting each other in the area, because Shibuya is so sprawling and crowded “Meet at Hachiko at XX:00?” is a common thing to say to your friends.
As David McLeod mentions it's a popular meeting place but the statue is also next to Shibuya Crossing, which is one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world (something like a quarter of a _million_ people cross there per day). Film fans will have seen it in, for instance, "Lost in Translation" among others. Maybe the only time I was ever impressed just by crossing a road :). So lots of people there for a variety of reasons. (and as a Scot the story reminded me of Greyfriars Bobby, though his statue is in a _much_ less busy churchyard below Edinburgh castle)
In 2015, a bronze statue of Hachiko and the professor who met again in heaven was erected on the campus of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tokyo. It is a statue that brings tears to your eyes. A real stuffed Hachiko is on display at a museum in Tokyo.
When I first watched this movie I cried my eyes out. Then I got my self an Akita 🐶 and now I have two of them 😅 I love it when they jump in bed with us and we all take a nap together ❤
Cassie and Simone are truly adorable and wonderful people, it's absolutely lovely to see them collaborate! Thank you ladies, despite the sadness of the story, you two still bring pure joy and a level of empathy and emotion that crosses oceans to connect us all. I'm very thankful for you both. Be well, take care. 😊
27:41 - (Translation): "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."
Someone once said that when you get a dog you're signing up for your heart to be broken when they die. It's true, but the love and joy they give you somehow makes it worth the pain of losing them.
When I watched this in 2010 I showed my wife and near the end she ran off to the bedroom crying. We’ve both been to Tokyo , seen the statue and to the museum in Ueno to see Hachi.
If u cry out loud while watching this if u hide tears if u come back again to see ...Congratulations u are a greatest golden hearted human being ...Love you ...
Holy heck, I never saw this movie and it took me back to 3 years ago when I took a stroke( 31 years old, 34 now.). I remember my dog "Spike" barking at the paramedics before I went unconscious. I don't know how long I was out, but when I woke up, I finally understood what happened to me. I started wondering about my dog and always calling home to make sure someone fed him "Spike' so when my family finally was allowed to visit me (at the start of covid BTW) I asked them who was taking care of Spike and that's when they told me that he got sick and passed away a week after I got sick. I just left the visit, returned to my room, and cried all day. I can't help but wonder if he was scared and alone without me.
"I will never watch that movie again." That's exactly what my family and I said after we watched it. After we cried our eyes out. And here i sit just a few months later - watching you two - watch the same movie. Something strangely satisfying about watching another person have such a similar experience. Thank you both for sharing this. I enjoyed it.
This movie really only shows the sad parts - the story it's based on, Hachiko, was eventually embraced by the Japanese people and he had a lot of happy moments before his death. Many stories and even a couple recordings of him were made. He was a very happy dog.
I agree... before I saw this, it was a tie between "The Land Before Time," and "Nimona" in different ways.... but I think Hachi is indeed the most heart-wrenching move I ever saw, ever.
This show was the first thing I watched with my grandpa that made him cry, he passed away finally losing his battle to cancer, his last action to kiss his wife, I hope he gets to see all his dogs once more he needed and loved each one a huge man who would melt and spend hours taking care of puppies letting them curl up on his belly, this movie will always remind me of him and as the movie says, we should never forget the ones we love.
You couldn't have picked a better, emotional movie to watch together. Thank you for your heartfelt reactions, the movie wrecked me for a while after my watch a few years ago.
I love Cassie and Simone SO much. I was blown away to see you two were working TOGETHER! I've never seen the movie because I knew it would kill me (I've lost too many wonderful pets and one of my current ones is ill) but I watched it with you two anyway because I would have "company." I wasn't disappointed. When Hachi was finally reunited with his friend, I wept streams of tears. I may never see an Akita again without hearing Simone sobbing, "We don't deserve dogs!" Still, you MUST work together again. Two of the most adorable and prettiest people on the planet? Sign us all up.
Honestly, reactions with more than 2 people don't work. Too much talking, people talking over each other, it gets messy. And then there's also the dialogue of the movie.. 2 is the sweetspot, that's why I like Carly & Cassie together more than Cassie alone. Talking to the camera lens is fake in a way, talking to someone makes it more natural
No George. He dissects movies ruins them watches each scene trying to look for something to tear down very unentertaining. She should definitely do this by herself or better partner. George is awful. And her calling him dad just ripped his soul out of his chest.
I can be a cold bastard but the story of Hachiko will always hit me hard. My favorite episode of Futurama has a story very similar to this, and it'll still move me to this day.
The only film I've ever seen that broke me worse than this was Grave Of The Fireflies. I'm a grown-ass 57-year-old man and I freaking bawled several times when I first saw this.
This movie will definitely do that. It actually wasn't until I was 35 years old until ANY movie strongly triggered tears from me (that first one that "did it" was Pixar's "Inside Out" if you are curious). And actually, after that, I discovered that I actually LIKE to watch movies that make me cry (since I felt the feel-good brain endorphins that often get released along with tears)... BUT even after I went looking for more, it was really hard to find one that could "get me" again. But so far it looks like THIS one is "the winner" for that effect on me. And yes, Grave Of The Fireflies is on my "list", for whenever I get access to it. I know of some reactions to it though, and I may not be able to wait until I see the whole movie myself. I actually didn't "need" to wait for the entire Hachi movie... I've seen two reactions so far (not even the full movie), and both made me spasmodically cry my eyes out.
Same here! It wasn't until I was 35 years old until I was 35 years old until ANY movie strongly triggered tears from me (that first one that "did it" was Pixar's "Inside Out" if you are curious).

BUT even after I went looking for more, it was really hard to find one that could "get me" again. But so far it looks like THIS one is "the winner" for that effect on me..
This is the only movie I’ve made my dad watch where he cried but I think the fact that we have an Akita in the family is probably why he cried. Amazing story
The ending of this movie and the first 5 minutes of Up are relationship tests: If your significant other does not cry or even tear up.....they have no soul.
Holy, I was never expecting this crossover between you two. I'm subscribed to you both because of how sweet you two are in your reactions. I'd be excited for you two to do this again in the future. This was indeed based off the real Hachikō that stayed loyal to his professor and died on 1935. There are various memorials such as a bronze statue placed in Shibuya station where he waited. He's somewhat a famous cultural icon being utilized in Japanese media and even in Western media for the character Fry's dog Seymor in Futurama.
Yeah, Cassie and Simone (and Carly) are about as wholesome as wholesome gets. But, that George guy... he's a right bastard... I keed! George is a sweet guy, too.
@@XC11301991 Hahaha, for sure. I love those moments when George, as sweet as he is, will make some off color joke and Simone will give that blank stare into her camera to say, "Really, George?"
That scene were Joan Allen goes over to Hachi towards the end we’re he’s old and at the train station ...and gives him hugs and kisses...had me crying like a baby..beautiful ❤️
Damn, you girls got this 70 year old bawling my eyes out. Great heartfelt reaction to a great movie. oh and this is the first time I saw Simone. You have a new subscriber.
I used to have a big wolf hybrid. She looked scary, but thought people were here to play with her, unless she didn’t know you and you wanted to get in her yard. She really wanted to be a lapdog, and loved throwing a ball. She would run to it like the wind, but not retrieve it. If you threw it, you should get it, she would just let you know where it went. Best girl ever.
Wait a minute ‼️ Are you saying that dog can throw the ball ? Or you throwing the ball ? I watched a video on TH-cam channel and has funniest pets and animals stuff and this dog is like a half beagle and half dashound and in the dog's owner open garage ,the owner would pitch the plastic ball to his dog and then the dog has a toy big plastic kids size baseball bat in the dog's mouth and he would swing his whole head towards the garage door and actually hit the plastic baseball ⚾ past the dog owner .
@@richa.s9912 she could, but greatly preferred for me to throw it, so she could run like the wind to the ball, look down a few times so I could tell where it was, and then run back and forth between me and the ball until I gave up and went to get it.
The foreigner who first interested in the story of Hachi is Helen Keller. When she visited Japan in 1936, she took Akita dog's puppy to the United States.
Hachi is a wonderful movie. It's amazing how dogs love their owners. My wife and I have a beagle and we love her so much. Your honest reactions to this movie was my reaction to the film. Great job!
I felt similar after watching this the first time I thought I would never watch it again. I now watch it about every 1 or 2 years because it is wonderful. I cry about 60% of the movie. Being a true story makes it even better. Pure love. I love this movie and it centers me to what is important
I had a Service Dog for 10 years. I received him shortly after he turned two. He had my personality. He melted the hearts of everyone he ever met. Because of him, I met many interesting people, from the cast of Firefly, most of the original cast of Star Wars, Doctor Who (in who's photo was the only time he smiled), the Boonedock Saints, Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed (who's heart melted the instant she laid eyes on him), to various soldiers, Sailors, airmen, and Marines. While I worked in the government, he received his own security badge with the same clearance I held (one of the highest in the nation). In fact, one time a group of soldiers saw him walking with me, and one soldier cracked, "Hey look! The dog has a badge!" Another soldier standing behind him chimed in, "Yeah, and his clearance is higher than yours!" Everyone laughed. Then they gawker as he saluted (I did not teach him that). He always knew when people were sad, and in those moments, I let them hold onto him. He brightened the lives of everyone he met. He stole every heart, melted every soul around him, and could professional soldiers into mush in about 0.000053 seconds. His face warmed the whole world, and I know he is in heaven, just waiting for me to join him so we can run around and say hi to everyone we meet. He was taken too soon, and too suddenly, but he will never ever be forgot.
Primal fear is a Richard Gere film that is truly amazing in its story line. It is very thought provoking and intelligent. Films like this don't come along everyday.
From a dog owner. There are specific dogs that are non allergic dogs… Yorkie, Maltese are the two off the top of my head that a person who’s highly allergic to dogs can have. Edit 1: They are called Hypoallergenic dogs a couple other breeds are… Bichon Frise, Poodle, Portuguese Water Dog, Shih Tzu, LabraDoodle.
Hachi was an Akita and they are working dogs that are very very loyal and protective dogs. I had an Akita/Chow mix we rescued and he was the best dog we ever had for 13 yrs before he was suffering from lung cancer which is strange b/c we don't smoke. When my wife would cry during a movie or something she was watching he would always perk up from the recliner he claimed and would go and get in her face to check on her and lay in her lap. She would fake cry just to get him over to her and it worked every time. He would follow me everywhere I went in the house and I didn't have to leash him b/c he obeyed so well. My wife knew when I was almost home b/c he could hear my Corvette coming before she could and he would also wander to the windows and back door to check for me. He was energetic all the way to his last day too. Akita's shed really bad and brushing and vacuuming was daily. When it was seasonal blowing of the coat I would spend hours brushing it out and just leaving it in the backyard and watch the birds swarm to get the fur for nests. We have a rescued pit bull and he is just a lovebug but our Akita mix will always be our #1. We would love to get another Akita some day if we can find a rescue we won't buy from breeders....too many pitties and other dogs being put down for no reason. Please Adopt and Rescue!!
When old Hatchi shows up I can never hold it together. He reminds me so much of my dog Koda, he was a red and white Husky x Malamute who passed at end of 2021 aged 13 😥 Beautiful story, just so hard to watch when you have lost a beloved dog friend
I used to have an Akita. That dog was 100% personality, and I have more stories about him than I could tell. You also were unable to go to the bathroom alone when he was around - he had to make sure you weren't lonely.
While it feels like a made for TV movie, I have watched it several times over the years. I'm a 50 yr old man and have never failed to bawl my eyes out watching it, even knowing what is coming. In fact I'm crying right now watching the two of you watch it. I convinced my wife to watch it after I had the first time. Her response with tears in eyes was, "Why did you make me watch that!"😂😢
Kate Wilson is played by actress Joan Allen and you have seen her. She played Ann Hamilton, the mother in The Notebook. She's also been in several of The Bourne movies.
I have watched both movies, the original japanese and the one, and both breaks your heart in a thousand pieces, when i read that you'll be reacting , i said to myself, i hope sweet Cassie could handle it. The scene withe the wife and Hashi always makes my cries. Another dog movie that you must watch is "A dog's purpose" it is amazing
you two caught the fact that he sensed something wrong with his owner. there are service animals who can sense a seizure coming on. but did you notice at the end that he finally played catch? even if the first and last time. very sweet movie
The thing which messes me up every time about Hachi is that dogs don’t understand ‘why’. So he died thinking that he’d done something wrong to make his person go away.
I don't think he blamed himself. I think dogs are pack animals, so they always worry when a member of their pack is absent, and in this case he simply had the hope that his friend would come back (and the commitment to be there when he finally did).
I love both Popcorn in Bed and Cinebinge and have been subscribed for a long time now, so this is so exciting and a treat. 😁 Lots of love to both Simone and Cassie and to George and Carly who aren’t present. ❤️
This was so heartfelt! Poor Simone, She really deeply felt this story 😥I'm now blubbing on my way out to work!! I love Cinebinge with her and George. This was a great duo today
29:24 That's really the all time peak of this strange ocean of emotions: sadness, mellon collie, grief, thankfulness, friendship and love. All at the same time, all within a few seconds. Hachis sad, tired face, her saying "You're still waiting" and then this music! My heart is full of emotion. This can really make a grown man cry. What a wonderful scene from a beautiful movie.
There was a dog called Bobby in Edinburgh, Scotland who when his owned died in 1872, Guarded his owners grave in the Greyfriars Kirkyard for the rest of his life (14 years). There is a Statue of Greyfairs Bobby in Edinburgh and peaple rub his nose for good luck to this day.
Aww hell. This is the movie that is never named at work because we all tear up! Another really fun dog movie is a true tale from Australia called “Red Dog.” Richard Gere movie you should watch is “An Officer And A Gentleman.” It’s not fair. I watch you both so I’m going to have to watch this TWICE. I haven’t watched this since the first time over ten years ago. I don’t have enough tissues! Dammit.
it's been over a decade since I last saw this film. couldn't bear watching it again because it was so heartbreaking (beautiful but heartbreaking nonetheless). but this randomly showed up on my feed today.... on my dog's birthday. she passed away two months ago, and my whole life was changed ever since. my world fell. the house doesn't feel the same. i see her everywhere i lay my eyes upon. i miss her very much. i think this video randomly showing up is a way of her telling me that it's going to be okay, and that she'll be paitiently waiting for me across the rainbow bridge when my time has come, along with all our other pets that passed before her. and somehow this thought made me feel a little better. thank you for this video. hope you both have a great day.
AAAAAAHHHHHHH! I've been a fan of both channels since the beginning! I couldn't believe the thumbnail! This is so awesome! Definitely do MORE of this! Woo hoo!
The first half, where you two were smiling, and laughing, and giggling and loving the story of Hachi and his master, all I could think was, "Man, when Gere drops dead, it's is going to seriously fuck these two up....."
"Hachi: A Dog's Tale” is based on the true story of an Akita so devoted to his master that he waited for him each day at a Tokyo train station. After the man, a Japanese college professor, died in 1925, the dog continued his daily vigil for nine years until his death.
Richard Gere was in "The Jackal" (1997) with Bruce Willis, Sidney Poitier, and Diane Venora. It is a remake of the 1973 "Day of the Jackal" with Edward Fox and Michael Lonsdale, which was based on a Fredrick Forsyth book of the same name.
I agree with Simone that this is not a movie I'd want to see more than once because it's too sad. There are many true stories of dogs getting lost and literally traveling thousands of miles across the United States and somehow finding their owners after many years. A famous movie from back in the day about a dog doing that was called 'Lassie Come Home'.
The difference between their reactions to the confirmation the Father died. 🤣"NO. No." Shes got that fight in her *I adored the iconic sound track. So simple yet so powerful. & This movie just DOESN'T LET UP. Like. let a man's EYE SACKS BREATHE.* And then at the end "well I hate this movie". 😄 It's so good at making you continuously cry it feels like it borderline feels like a attack.
I saw this movie about ten+ years ago and it broke my heart... I still tear up and cry a bit every time I see it (yes, I've re-watched it many times) Akidas are amazingly special dogs who develop very strong singular bonds to their person. They want to be with their person and "tolerate" everyone else in the household... and are okay with other dogs if they are in the top-dog role (most folk dont recommend having other dogs when you've got an Akida) I knew from the opening talk that this one was going to end in tears for both of ya. (**hugs**) Thank you for sharing your reaction... your emotions & vulnerability & love
About 10-12 years ago my mother told me the story of HACHIKO - she had previously seen the Japanese original and then the US remake. I saw the US version first, but I also wanted to know what the original was like and I had to do some searching. Conclusion: Normally a remake usually loses out to the original for me, but here it's the other way around. The original seems a bit harder on the one hand, but more playful on the other. .... I only need to hear the first notes of the music and tears are already overflowing. Animals are simply better people.
I'm not crying... your crying 😭! Luv the reaction Cassie! I Luv dogs and these kinda movies will always have my heart ❤️! Thanks for sharing this reaction!
I haven't even begun to watch your reaction to the movie and I know already it's going to be water works. This is one of the most heartbreaking movies I've ever seen. It is a tear jerker. Let the water work begin. Edit- "I'll never watch this movie again." I said the same thing after watching it years ago. I just watched it for the 2nd time with you two.
If someone don’t cry with this movie, I’ll never trust that person
I cry even with this reaction video and i am also a man so yeah, this movie is absolutely heartbreaking.
Some of my girl-friends asked me to watch "Sad" movies sometimes and i never cried except for this movie, hell i even cried when watched 4 minute clip of the last scene
Crybaby 😂😂
@@gmghood2797its because we have empathy but it doesn't sound like YOU don't 🥺😒
@@thiccachuu3770 it’s a movie and a stupid dog 🤣🤣🤣
I was in Shibuya 2 weeks ago and saw the statue. I pointed it out to my wife and gave her an overview of the history and she started crying in the middle of the crowd.
Oh((( Never show this movie to her. Or you will get Niagara waterfall.))
She's a good woman brother 😇

The old saying that 'A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself,' really hits home in this movie and the story of Hachiko. Your tears are a testament to understanding true love.
Yes I totally agree with you 👍💯

That sounds exactly like what I would guess I would do..
And Mom and Dad
We have a similar story in my hometown (Cadiz, Spain). A dog called Canelo kept waiting for his master in front of the hospital. His master had passed and he waited for him at the hospital for years until he also passed away. I remember seeing him on my way back from high school.
Now a street next to the hospital has his name, and a plaque in his honor 💙
That’s fascinating.
Poor dog 😢😢😢😢
Canelo is the goodest boi
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canelo_(dog)
The worst thing is he was killed by a motorist by accident.
If it makes you feel better, in 1994, Nippon Cultural Broadcasting in Japan was able to lift a recording of the real Hachikō barking from an old record that had been broken into several pieces. On Saturday, 28th of May 1994, 59 years after his death, millions of radio listeners tuned in to hear Hachikō's bark. 🐕
Great, now I'm crying again.
Thanx...I found the video...sounded more like crying than barking.
Crying? Are you sure you weren’t watching a Hachi reaction video? 🐕
@@KevinLyda my thoughts 2 😭 😭
Actually this doesn’t make me feel better, but thanks for triggering another round of cathartic emotional destruction!
My dad is a Vietnam Marine vet. He was in combat and received the Purple Heart. He's a very tough guy. He saw this movie last week. He cried his eyes out
We have a Japanese Akita named Hiro. He looks like Hachi. The color is called a Red. He is extremely loyal, affectionate, and he is also able to sense the onset of my youngest son’s seizures. They are truly special dogs. It is based on a true story.
My wife and watched it, we both ugly cried. We showed it to my mother in law, she was bawling for hours. Then she showed it to her friends and their kids, they all cried. This is the one movie that I think universally makes almost everyone cry 😂
LOL. Absolute truth.
If anyone do not cry after watching this film, that person is a friggin psychopath and don't deserve to be called a human
I definitely agree. I cried when I saw this (of course, no surprise) and even though I tend not to be much of a "crier" in general, given how objectively emotionally heart-wrenching I could see this movie is, I questioned myself "Why didn't I cry even HARDER than I ended up doing?" I got my answer later that night as I was trying to go to sleep, and scenes from the movie kept creeping into my brain and I finally noticed that I had subconsciously been pushing them away "because they were too painful to think about"... so, that would be "suppression", I'm pretty sure is the term for that. I'm aware doing that is not the healthiest thing... so I went ahead and let myself think, and process everything fully. Which did result in one of the hardest cries of my life.
Then, here I am again with this movie, watching this reaction... as I spasmodically cry my eyes out... for the third time.
@@Hariprasad-cd5biYou're absolutely right ! 🖐 (Belgium, Europe ).
Bro I think you guys made a swimming pool 🏊🏾 😂
Lived in Japan for many years and my wife and I visited Tokyo a couple of times and even made our way to see the Hachiko statue. Still there today after all these years. Such a beautiful story
If I would ever visit Tokyo I'd definitely visit his statue too. He is a hero.
Yeah, Shibuya was on my way to my daily commute (until covid hit and I went full time wfh) and I've been by that statue countless times. Like Simone said, it's heartbreaking, but a good reminder of how dear these creatures are that we 'just think of as pets'.
@@_Shadoh_ I definitely recommend it. His statue is also right next to the famous Shibuya scramble crossing so if you wanted to make a day (or probably a whole morning or afternoon) of it, it's within walking distance of the Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park and Harajuku along with Omotesando street. Kind of a touristy thing, but I also kinda consider it a must if it's your first time to Tokyo.
edit: pre-covid (not sure since), there was a never ending line of people posing with the statue to take pictures so be prepared to wait in line (albeit usually not long as people are courteous about going in, snapping the pic and leaving for the next person) unless you're ok with just a pic from a distance.
They even have a memorial statue a few towns over from me at the train station they filmed the movie at
As you know this is a true story, except it took place in Tokyo. Hachiko went to the station daily for 10 years waiting for his master to arrive. After the dog died, they created a statue of Hachiko in Shibuya, which is where people wait to meet each other. My wife is Japanese and her mother used to see Hachiko waiting at the station often.
I'm Japanese.
The story of "Hachi" is a true event that took place in Japan and is known as the story of "Hachiko, the Loyal Dog." It is a well-known tale among Japanese people. The statue of Hachiko at Shibuya represents this story.
Note: The story of Hachiko is a famous tale of a loyal Akita dog named Hachiko who continued to wait for his deceased owner at the Shibuya Station in Tokyo every day for nearly 10 years. The story has captured the hearts of people worldwide and symbolizes loyalty and devotion.
LOVE from Japan.
Fun fact the current statue is Version 2.0 as the Japanese during WW2 melted the statue due to needing it for the war effort

If you don’t cry during this movie, I don’t think you’re human. It’s so beautiful. 🥲
Hachi is a legend.
Agree
If you don’t cry during this movie, it may not disqualify you to be a human, but you're most definitely not the kind of person I enjoy to be around.
You are emotionally dead if you don't cry watching this.
This was actually one of the tests that the Blade Runners used to find replicants.
This movie broke me when I saw this first time.
I remember telling myself "it's okay it's not real" then I saw its a true story and I just continued to sob uncontrollably. I always cry watching this, it never gets easier.
It's literally impossible for me to not cry when i watch this.
So i use this movie as therapy maybe once a tear, just to cry and release 🗿
@@IkesPimpHand I should do that too!
I know what you mean... even though I knew it was a true story to begin with, part of my brain sort of forgot throughout the movie, then the reminder about it being a true story at the end really, really broke me 😭 And my first time was only the beginning... even though I tend not to be much of a "crier" in general, given how objectively emotionally heart-wrenching I could see this movie is, I questioned myself (regarding the FIRST time I saw it) "Why didn't I cry even HARDER than I ended up doing?" I got my answer later that night as I was trying to go to sleep, and scenes from the movie kept creeping into my brain and I finally noticed that I had subconsciously been pushing them away "because they were too painful to think about"... so, that would be "suppression", I'm pretty sure is the term for that. I'm aware doing that is not the healthiest thing... so I went ahead and let myself think, and process everything fully. Which did result in one of the hardest cries of my life. This reaction is my third exposure to the movie (if you include my mental-only exposure that one night)... and both those second and third times were very hard cries indeed.
That movie is a tear-jerker. Watching the dog aging and traveling to the train station daily was devasting.
My dog died last month and was one week shy of 17 years old... not gonna lie... this movie just made me sob thinking of my old and faithful friend again. I miss him so much... There is no greater companion, no better loyalty, nothing stronger than a dog's love for his master.
I am so sorry for your very deep loss. Peace and love to you.
A dog may be part of you world but for a dog YOU are it's entire world
I love that the statue still even today serves as a central landmark for millions of friends to find and meet each other in one of the busiest, most densely populated downtown shopping districts in the world. It's like a part of his spirit still resides there helping others find their own loved ones as he continues to wait for his.
Wow what you just wrote was incredibly beautiful 😢
I had a Black Lab for 12 years. His name was ''Smokie''. I worked in a local Industry & he would sit by the door, every day at the time I was expected home. Even when I changed shifts, he quickly acclimated to the time change & there he would be. When I sat in my recliner watching TV, he would position himself in front of me, wedged between my knees, occasionally glancing up at me, seemingly to make sure I was still there & was ok. I loved that little guy so much. He is my Hero.
A few years ago, my wife and me where at home for christmas, And we wanted to see a nice family movie, and we tought this was a hart warming movie. We both cried so much. Iam an adult man at the age of 52, and i never cried before because of a movie. But this one does. Even if i watch this now i get again tears in my eyes.
The loyalty of dogs is legendary. When Odysseus returned in disguise after 20 years away in the Trojan war, only his dog, Argos, recognized him, wagged his tail in greeting, and then died, his long wait over.
Saw this on tv at random while my mum was watching it. Saw like the last 3rd of it. I cry to this day when I think about this movie's final scene.
Devastating, yet beautiful movie. Absolutely heartbreaking for any dog lover to see.
Or animal lover in general.
As a big fan of both your channels, this was the crossover I never knew I wanted! Would love to see Cassie & Simone do more reactions in the future!
Definitely! :)
I know! I nearly did a double-take when I saw the thumbnail.
Fully agree. Canada FTW!
It was fantastic, the only downside is that I don't think I could handle that again to give CineBinge a watch count (maybe with the volume down on another tab), such a good crossover.
me too I thought I was being pranked by a deep fake channel but sure enough my two favourite reactors are in a video together , I love seeing how they interact with each other
66 YO Grown Man here, Boss. I'm bawling my eyes out right along with you. The true definition of Unconditional Love.
I remember lying on my sofa watching this film years ago on a Saturday afternoon expecting a nice entertaining dog movie and by the end I was bawling like a baby.
Also, there's nothing better than seeing two of your favorite reactors together as one. This definitely should happen more often and I am sure the fans will love it!
Your experience seing this film is very close to mine. Never heard about this movie, and didn’t know the actual story behind. Thought I was in for a “regular” feel good dog movie.
I wasn’t. 😭😭😉
I remember watching this in theatres, thinking it was just gonna be a cute movie about a dog. Every single pair of eyes were streaming before and after we left the theatre, there were so many of us recuperating in the bathrooms wiping our eyes and laughing at how much of a mess we all were. Good boy Hachi, you earned your forever rest with your master. I’m sure his heart broke from the other side watching his loyal friend sit and wait for him every single day. I’m also beyond happy to know that Hachi was never treated with malice or disrespect while he sat outside that station all day everyday. People these days are not so kind to perceived strays.
Some people were kind to Hachitaro, but others tormented him. I heard that after it became widely known through newspaper articles, the tormenting stopped.
@@wadepsilon01 Hachitaro?
I’m a grown-ass man and this movie had me basically sobbing. 😭
Men can cry.
@@jonathaningram8157 I can attest. Just using a more descriptive term.
I remember this movie, I saw it many years ago, and haven't watched it since precisely because it was heartbreaking then.
Now, at 56 and watching this reaction while laying in bed with my own dog, I'm bawling and holding him close. We're completely codependent on each other. 😢😭
Same dude, my heart melted for him
@@jerryreding7369 Dogs are precious.
Faithful Hachi is a famous dog. There is a bronze statue at Shibuya station in Japan. It is said that when the bees were alive, everyone gave them food. Great companion. may his soul rest in peace
I visited Japan in 2017 and came across his statue at Shibuya station. I had no idea the significance of it at the time but there was a huge crowd gathered there. Also, a cat was sleeping in between his legs. When I got back home, I looked up the statue and discovered the story about him and also found that this movie had been made about him.
This movie hadn't been made about him, the original Japanese movie had been made about him and this is a remake of it.
@@user-lz5vh9bb5w We all understood exactly what he meant.🙄🤦🏽♀️
Not to diminish the tale or what Hachiko means to Japanese residents, but the reason there was a crowd there is because it is THE landmark people use for meeting each other in the area, because Shibuya is so sprawling and crowded “Meet at Hachiko at XX:00?” is a common thing to say to your friends.
As David McLeod mentions it's a popular meeting place but the statue is also next to Shibuya Crossing, which is one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world (something like a quarter of a _million_ people cross there per day). Film fans will have seen it in, for instance, "Lost in Translation" among others. Maybe the only time I was ever impressed just by crossing a road :). So lots of people there for a variety of reasons.
(and as a Scot the story reminded me of Greyfriars Bobby, though his statue is in a _much_ less busy churchyard below Edinburgh castle)
@David McLeod make sense. But how many of those people are still waiting and the other person never shows up? 🤔
In 2015, a bronze statue of Hachiko and the professor who met again in heaven was erected on the campus of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tokyo. It is a statue that brings tears to your eyes. A real stuffed Hachiko is on display at a museum in Tokyo.
When I first watched this movie I cried my eyes out. Then I got my self an Akita 🐶 and now I have two of them 😅 I love it when they jump in bed with us and we all take a nap together ❤
Cassie and Simone are truly adorable and wonderful people, it's absolutely lovely to see them collaborate! Thank you ladies, despite the sadness of the story, you two still bring pure joy and a level of empathy and emotion that crosses oceans to connect us all. I'm very thankful for you both. Be well, take care. 😊
27:41 - (Translation): "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."
Someone once said that when you get a dog you're signing up for your heart to be broken when they die. It's true, but the love and joy they give you somehow makes it worth the pain of losing them.
When I watched this in 2010 I showed my wife and near the end she ran off to the bedroom crying. We’ve both been to Tokyo , seen the statue and to the museum in Ueno to see Hachi.
If u cry out loud while watching this if u hide tears if u come back again to see ...Congratulations u are a greatest golden hearted human being ...Love you ...
Holy heck, I never saw this movie and it took me back to 3 years ago when I took a stroke( 31 years old, 34 now.). I remember my dog "Spike" barking at the paramedics before I went unconscious. I don't know how long I was out, but when I woke up, I finally understood what happened to me. I started wondering about my dog and always calling home to make sure someone fed him "Spike' so when my family finally was allowed to visit me (at the start of covid BTW) I asked them who was taking care of Spike and that's when they told me that he got sick and passed away a week after I got sick. I just left the visit, returned to my room, and cried all day. I can't help but wonder if he was scared and alone without me.
I'm so sorry to hear about your fur friend I hope he/she is in a very happy place.
Prayers to you. Spike knows and is always with you. God Bless 🙏 We had a cat named Spike. He passed in my arms.
Feel so sorry for you & Spike, both.
I’m so sorry to you and your dog, poor fella must have suffered a lot.😢
Thanks everyone, I don't think I'll watch this movie. Their reaction was enough. Lol
"I will never watch that movie again." That's exactly what my family and I said after we watched it. After we cried our eyes out. And here i sit just a few months later - watching you two - watch the same movie. Something strangely satisfying about watching another person have such a similar experience. Thank you both for sharing this. I enjoyed it.
it does not matter how many times i see this movie... it always makes me cry
This movie really only shows the sad parts - the story it's based on, Hachiko, was eventually embraced by the Japanese people and he had a lot of happy moments before his death. Many stories and even a couple recordings of him were made. He was a very happy dog.
Omg really?? That makes me so happy to know that!!
Good to know!
This makes me feel better 😭 thank you for sharing this information
I mean this Movie doesnt have a lot to do with the real Story in the first Place
I hope you guys brought a box of tissues because this is one of the most heart wrenching movies you can react to😭
I agree... before I saw this, it was a tie between "The Land Before Time," and "Nimona" in different ways.... but I think Hachi is indeed the most heart-wrenching move I ever saw, ever.
This show was the first thing I watched with my grandpa that made him cry, he passed away finally losing his battle to cancer, his last action to kiss his wife, I hope he gets to see all his dogs once more he needed and loved each one a huge man who would melt and spend hours taking care of puppies letting them curl up on his belly, this movie will always remind me of him and as the movie says, we should never forget the ones we love.
You couldn't have picked a better, emotional movie to watch together. Thank you for your heartfelt reactions, the movie wrecked me for a while after my watch a few years ago.
I love Cassie and Simone SO much. I was blown away to see you two were working TOGETHER! I've never seen the movie because I knew it would kill me (I've lost too many wonderful pets and one of my current ones is ill) but I watched it with you two anyway because I would have "company." I wasn't disappointed. When Hachi was finally reunited with his friend, I wept streams of tears. I may never see an Akita again without hearing Simone sobbing, "We don't deserve dogs!" Still, you MUST work together again. Two of the most adorable and prettiest people on the planet? Sign us all up.
Wait Cinebinge is on Popcorn In Bed? All we need is Carly and George.
Carly can present a RomCom to George or George can present a death-metal, Horror freak out to Carly. Which do we want to see?
Yes, I wouldn't have watched A Dogs Tail! But when I saw the thumbnail Cassie and Simone together I have to watch just for the reaction😂😂😊
@@marivera77 Carly watching a horror 😊
Honestly, reactions with more than 2 people don't work. Too much talking, people talking over each other, it gets messy. And then there's also the dialogue of the movie.. 2 is the sweetspot, that's why I like Carly & Cassie together more than Cassie alone. Talking to the camera lens is fake in a way, talking to someone makes it more natural
No George. He dissects movies ruins them watches each scene trying to look for something to tear down very unentertaining. She should definitely do this by herself or better partner. George is awful. And her calling him dad just ripped his soul out of his chest.
I can be a cold bastard but the story of Hachiko will always hit me hard. My favorite episode of Futurama has a story very similar to this, and it'll still move me to this day.
Jurassic Bark
That story is the original Hachiko story.
Every time I travel to Japan, seeing the Hachikō statue is a must. :) The story is beautiful and so heartbreaking.
The only film I've ever seen that broke me worse than this was Grave Of The Fireflies. I'm a grown-ass 57-year-old man and I freaking bawled several times when I first saw this.
This movie will definitely do that. It actually wasn't until I was 35 years old until ANY movie strongly triggered tears from me (that first one that "did it" was Pixar's "Inside Out" if you are curious). And actually, after that, I discovered that I actually LIKE to watch movies that make me cry (since I felt the feel-good brain endorphins that often get released along with tears)... BUT even after I went looking for more, it was really hard to find one that could "get me" again. But so far it looks like THIS one is "the winner" for that effect on me. And yes, Grave Of The Fireflies is on my "list", for whenever I get access to it. I know of some reactions to it though, and I may not be able to wait until I see the whole movie myself. I actually didn't "need" to wait for the entire Hachi movie... I've seen two reactions so far (not even the full movie), and both made me spasmodically cry my eyes out.
Very rarely do I cry watching films. This damn movie had me sobbing within 10 minutes and I continued sobbing until the end credits.

This is the only movie I’ve made my dad watch where he cried but I think the fact that we have an Akita in the family is probably why he cried. Amazing story
AWESOME COLLAB, I watch both of your channels!
The ending of this movie and the first 5 minutes of Up are relationship tests: If your significant other does not cry or even tear up.....they have no soul.
Holy, I was never expecting this crossover between you two. I'm subscribed to you both because of how sweet you two are in your reactions. I'd be excited for you two to do this again in the future.
This was indeed based off the real Hachikō that stayed loyal to his professor and died on 1935. There are various memorials such as a bronze statue placed in Shibuya station where he waited. He's somewhat a famous cultural icon being utilized in Japanese media and even in Western media for the character Fry's dog Seymor in Futurama.
Hachikō was the real life Argos.
Yeah, Cassie and Simone (and Carly) are about as wholesome as wholesome gets. But, that George guy... he's a right bastard... I keed! George is a sweet guy, too.
@@Vulcanerd Lol I love George because he brings the right amount of humor from the male perspective as well.
@@XC11301991 Hahaha, for sure. I love those moments when George, as sweet as he is, will make some off color joke and Simone will give that blank stare into her camera to say, "Really, George?"

I had to watch this whole thing twice to support both channels! Thanks for dehydrating me with a solid hour-and-a-half or so of tears! 😭
This movie broke me in ways I didn't know I could be broken. You got through it better than me.

Simone and George are awesome. Happy to hear you’re a new CineBinge fan. 😀
Love both these channels! George is also awesome!
Several years ago, Japan made a statue of Hachi and his master meeting with big smiles on their faces.
They are forever together now.
I used to have a big wolf hybrid. She looked scary, but thought people were here to play with her, unless she didn’t know you and you wanted to get in her yard. She really wanted to be a lapdog, and loved throwing a ball. She would run to it like the wind, but not retrieve it. If you threw it, you should get it, she would just let you know where it went. Best girl ever.
Wait a minute ‼️ Are you saying that dog can throw the ball ? Or you throwing the ball ? I watched a video on TH-cam channel and has funniest pets and animals stuff and this dog is like a half beagle and half dashound and in the dog's owner open garage ,the owner would pitch the plastic ball to his dog and then the dog has a toy big plastic kids size baseball bat in the dog's mouth and he would swing his whole head towards the garage door and actually hit the plastic baseball ⚾ past the dog owner .
@@richa.s9912 she could, but greatly preferred for me to throw it, so she could run like the wind to the ball, look down a few times so I could tell where it was, and then run back and forth between me and the ball until I gave up and went to get it.
The foreigner who first interested in the story of Hachi is Helen Keller. When she visited Japan in 1936, she took Akita dog's puppy to the United States.
Hachi is a wonderful movie. It's amazing how dogs love their owners. My wife and I have a beagle and we love her so much. Your honest reactions to this movie was my reaction to the film. Great job!
I felt similar after watching this the first time I thought I would never watch it again. I now watch it about every 1 or 2 years because it is wonderful. I cry about 60% of the movie. Being a true story makes it even better. Pure love. I love this movie and it centers me to what is important
I had a Service Dog for 10 years. I received him shortly after he turned two. He had my personality. He melted the hearts of everyone he ever met. Because of him, I met many interesting people, from the cast of Firefly, most of the original cast of Star Wars, Doctor Who (in who's photo was the only time he smiled), the Boonedock Saints, Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed (who's heart melted the instant she laid eyes on him), to various soldiers, Sailors, airmen, and Marines. While I worked in the government, he received his own security badge with the same clearance I held (one of the highest in the nation). In fact, one time a group of soldiers saw him walking with me, and one soldier cracked, "Hey look! The dog has a badge!" Another soldier standing behind him chimed in, "Yeah, and his clearance is higher than yours!" Everyone laughed. Then they gawker as he saluted (I did not teach him that).
He always knew when people were sad, and in those moments, I let them hold onto him. He brightened the lives of everyone he met. He stole every heart, melted every soul around him, and could professional soldiers into mush in about 0.000053 seconds. His face warmed the whole world, and I know he is in heaven, just waiting for me to join him so we can run around and say hi to everyone we meet. He was taken too soon, and too suddenly, but he will never ever be forgot.
Thank you for sharing such a truly magical story about your fur friend.

Primal fear is a Richard Gere film that is truly amazing in its story line. It is very thought provoking and intelligent. Films like this don't come along everyday.
Because Hollywood goes for the lowest common denominator.
Watch more international films.
The Hachiko statue is a common meeting place when I’d go out with friends.
From a dog owner. There are specific dogs that are non allergic dogs… Yorkie, Maltese are the two off the top of my head that a person who’s highly allergic to dogs can have. Edit 1: They are called Hypoallergenic dogs a couple other breeds are… Bichon Frise, Poodle, Portuguese Water Dog, Shih Tzu, LabraDoodle.
I have a Maltese dog I’ve had him since he was 2 weeks old today he’s 12 years old. And yes always right next to me no matter what I do
Hachi was an Akita and they are working dogs that are very very loyal and protective dogs. I had an Akita/Chow mix we rescued and he was the best dog we ever had for 13 yrs before he was suffering from lung cancer which is strange b/c we don't smoke. When my wife would cry during a movie or something she was watching he would always perk up from the recliner he claimed and would go and get in her face to check on her and lay in her lap. She would fake cry just to get him over to her and it worked every time. He would follow me everywhere I went in the house and I didn't have to leash him b/c he obeyed so well. My wife knew when I was almost home b/c he could hear my Corvette coming before she could and he would also wander to the windows and back door to check for me. He was energetic all the way to his last day too. Akita's shed really bad and brushing and vacuuming was daily. When it was seasonal blowing of the coat I would spend hours brushing it out and just leaving it in the backyard and watch the birds swarm to get the fur for nests. We have a rescued pit bull and he is just a lovebug but our Akita mix will always be our #1. We would love to get another Akita some day if we can find a rescue we won't buy from breeders....too many pitties and other dogs being put down for no reason. Please Adopt and Rescue!!
When old Hatchi shows up I can never hold it together. He reminds me so much of my dog Koda, he was a red and white Husky x Malamute who passed at end of 2021 aged 13 😥 Beautiful story, just so hard to watch when you have lost a beloved dog friend
I used to have an Akita. That dog was 100% personality, and I have more stories about him than I could tell. You also were unable to go to the bathroom alone when he was around - he had to make sure you weren't lonely.
While it feels like a made for TV movie, I have watched it several times over the years. I'm a 50 yr old man and have never failed to bawl my eyes out watching it, even knowing what is coming. In fact I'm crying right now watching the two of you watch it.
I convinced my wife to watch it after I had the first time. Her response with tears in eyes was, "Why did you make me watch that!"😂😢
Kate Wilson is played by actress Joan Allen and you have seen her. She played Ann Hamilton, the mother in The Notebook. She's also been in several of The Bourne movies.
I have watched both movies, the original japanese and the one, and both breaks your heart in a thousand pieces, when i read that you'll be reacting , i said to myself, i hope sweet Cassie could handle it. The scene withe the wife and Hashi always makes my cries. Another dog movie that you must watch is "A dog's purpose" it is amazing
I 100% agree with you!
Oh yes. I love them all!❤
It hit Simone even harder I think.
you two caught the fact that he sensed something wrong with his owner. there are service animals who can sense a seizure coming on. but did you notice at the end that he finally played catch? even if the first and last time. very sweet movie
The thing which messes me up every time about Hachi is that dogs don’t understand ‘why’. So he died thinking that he’d done something wrong to make his person go away.
I don't think he blamed himself. I think dogs are pack animals, so they always worry when a member of their pack is absent, and in this case he simply had the hope that his friend would come back (and the commitment to be there when he finally did).
I love both Popcorn in Bed and Cinebinge and have been subscribed for a long time now, so this is so exciting and a treat. 😁 Lots of love to both Simone and Cassie and to George and Carly who aren’t present. ❤️
This was so heartfelt! Poor Simone, She really deeply felt this story 😥I'm now blubbing on my way out to work!! I love Cinebinge with her and George. This was a great duo today
The movie is a testament to the unconditional love of a dog.
29:24 That's really the all time peak of this strange ocean of emotions: sadness, mellon collie, grief, thankfulness, friendship and love. All at the same time, all within a few seconds. Hachis sad, tired face, her saying "You're still waiting" and then this music! My heart is full of emotion. This can really make a grown man cry. What a wonderful scene from a beautiful movie.
A crossover i didnt know i needed! I love both of you!
There was a dog called Bobby in Edinburgh, Scotland who when his owned died in 1872, Guarded his owners grave in the Greyfriars Kirkyard for the rest of his life (14 years). There is a Statue of Greyfairs Bobby in Edinburgh and peaple rub his nose for good luck to this day.
This was such a great reaction with Cass and Simone. Hopefully these two will make another reaction video together at some point. Loved it!
Loved seeing you two together! Simone and George are really fun! I knew the story and will never watch the full movie- this was enough tears!
Aww hell. This is the movie that is never named at work because we all tear up!
Another really fun dog movie is a true tale from Australia called “Red Dog.”
Richard Gere movie you should watch is “An Officer And A Gentleman.”
It’s not fair. I watch you both so I’m going to have to watch this TWICE. I haven’t watched this since the first time over ten years ago.
I don’t have enough tissues! Dammit.
it's been over a decade since I last saw this film. couldn't bear watching it again because it was so heartbreaking (beautiful but heartbreaking nonetheless). but this randomly showed up on my feed today.... on my dog's birthday. she passed away two months ago, and my whole life was changed ever since. my world fell. the house doesn't feel the same. i see her everywhere i lay my eyes upon. i miss her very much. i think this video randomly showing up is a way of her telling me that it's going to be okay, and that she'll be paitiently waiting for me across the rainbow bridge when my time has come, along with all our other pets that passed before her. and somehow this thought made me feel a little better. thank you for this video. hope you both have a great day.
This collaboration is the best! We need more!
AAAAAAHHHHHHH! I've been a fan of both channels since the beginning! I couldn't believe the thumbnail! This is so awesome! Definitely do MORE of this! Woo hoo!
The first half, where you two were smiling, and laughing, and giggling and loving the story of Hachi and his master, all I could think was, "Man, when Gere drops dead, it's is going to seriously fuck these two up....."
From that moment on I was 99% crying 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭
Shocking amount of kind female energy here. I'm a fan of both channels.
"Hachi: A Dog's Tale” is based on the true story of an Akita so devoted to his master that he waited for him each day at a Tokyo train station. After the man, a Japanese college professor, died in 1925, the dog continued his daily vigil for nine years until his death.
It's literally a remake of the 1987 Japanese film version.
Richard Gere was in "The Jackal" (1997) with Bruce Willis, Sidney Poitier, and Diane Venora. It is a remake of the 1973 "Day of the Jackal" with Edward Fox and Michael Lonsdale, which was based on a Fredrick Forsyth book of the same name.
I agree with Simone that this is not a movie I'd want to see more than once because it's too sad. There are many true stories of dogs getting lost and literally traveling thousands of miles across the United States and somehow finding their owners after many years. A famous movie from back in the day about a dog doing that was called 'Lassie Come Home'.
One of my favourite movies. True story. Amazing love. I cry every time I see it.
Great collab! Yes please for more of you two together! I am subscribed to both of your channels. Great idea!
I am a grown man and I cried watching this movie. A dog really is man's best friend.
OMG Simone?! Never knew I needed this collab w Cassie but more of this please 😀.
Next do a reaction with Dasha of Russia reacts. Dasha is a sweet smart girl. Would love to see that collab.
@@akitaadventures name fits
The difference between their reactions to the confirmation the Father died. 🤣"NO. No." Shes got that fight in her
*I adored the iconic sound track. So simple yet so powerful. & This movie just DOESN'T LET UP. Like. let a man's EYE SACKS BREATHE.*
And then at the end "well I hate this movie". 😄 It's so good at making you continuously cry it feels like it borderline feels like a attack.
I saw this movie about ten+ years ago and it broke my heart... I still tear up and cry a bit every time I see it (yes, I've re-watched it many times)
Akidas are amazingly special dogs who develop very strong singular bonds to their person. They want to be with their person and "tolerate" everyone else in the household... and are okay with other dogs if they are in the top-dog role (most folk dont recommend having other dogs when you've got an Akida)
I knew from the opening talk that this one was going to end in tears for both of ya. (**hugs**)
Thank you for sharing your reaction... your emotions & vulnerability & love
About 10-12 years ago my mother told me the story of HACHIKO - she had previously seen the Japanese original and then the US remake. I saw the US version first, but I also wanted to know what the original was like and I had to do some searching. Conclusion: Normally a remake usually loses out to the original for me, but here it's the other way around. The original seems a bit harder on the one hand, but more playful on the other. .... I only need to hear the first notes of the music and tears are already overflowing. Animals are simply better people.
I'm not crying... your crying 😭! Luv the reaction Cassie! I Luv dogs and these kinda movies will always have my heart ❤️! Thanks for sharing this reaction!
I cried so hard watching this the last time i had a headache for the rest of the day 😭. Such an amazing story.
I haven't even begun to watch your reaction to the movie and I know already it's going to be water works. This is one of the most heartbreaking movies I've ever seen. It is a tear jerker. Let the water work begin.
Edit- "I'll never watch this movie again."
I said the same thing after watching it years ago. I just watched it for the 2nd time with you two.
