This is a movie I will never attempt to watch:
Don't get me wrong. I love dogs. Way too much.
The reason I will not attempt to watch this is because I am 100% positively sure I will bawl my eyes out. Any movie related to animals I for one, will cry. I have read about the legendary Hachiko and no, I do not like how it ends.
I know I will cry during the movie, after the movie, once in awhile when looking at my dog, Jackie, once in awhile when I unconsciously thought about it, and every other time when I purposely think about it (don't ask me why, I don't know. It just happens).
I have seriously, a soft spot for animals (even when it's animated). And this will be something I will carry on forever since the first watch.
It has been 23 times of watching Free Willy since it 1st came out in 1994. Here we are in 2010, I still can't stop tearing up when ever I do watch it. I guess the sense of losing/ being apart of someone/ something you really love gets to me. Heck, I cried watching Toy Story 3.
That's why I enjoy watching violent movies like Scarface, 300 and The Hill's Have Eyes. There aren't any character(s) to sympathize, really. Plus the movies are merciless. Angst and violence, blood splatters, oooh, I love.
I'd prefer this:
than this:
on any given day.
Okay, okay, you got me. *hands up*
*Sighs*
Truthfully, I want to watch Hachiko so badly. But I'm scared. I might need someone to hold both my hands, hand me tissues, someone to hug and at the end, laugh. Because, I tend to feel rather silly afterwards. Hee.
To your dog, you are all it has. The love is real, the compassion is real. It has no tricks up it's furry paws.
(Somehow, I have managed to turn this entry into a Public Service Announcement.)
I should stop now. *sits on her two hands*
Love,
