I have only cried during one movie: Hachi: A Dog's Tale. Normally, I know that movies are simply trying to tug at the heart strings with contrived stories, but Hachi killed me. It's based on a true story of a dog and professor in Japan. In the movie, Richard Gere finds this puppy and adopts him. The dog follows Gere every day to the train station when Gere goes to work and comes back to the train station every night to greet him. One day, Gere's character dies, but the dog continues to come to the train station at the same time, every day, for years, waiting for his master to show up. And every day, his master doesn't come and years later, Hachi dies alone remembering the times he had with his master. I'm tearing up just thinking about this movie. Knowing that this is a true story and a dog actually did this, not understanding why his master is suddenly gone, just kills me. There's actually a statue of Hachi in that train station in Japan where the dog used to sit.
