Hachi, Friday, May 21st, 2010, at 5 p.m.!
For the last movie before our Summer Reading Program begins, Brown Library will be showing the heart-warming Hachi on Friday, May 21st, starting at 5 p.m.
"An American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love."
There is no sign-up required to attend the movie, but there is limited seating, so make sure to arrive at least fifteen minutes early to guarantee yourself a good seat! This film is rated G.
