Hachi
As a dog lover, it’s hard not to love all movies involving dogs or any animal for that matter. Born in Japan, Hachiko, an Akita, is memorialized for his unshakable loyalty to his owner, long after his owner passed away. Remembered as “chuken Hachiko,” or “faithful dog Hachi,” he forever remains a symbol of loyalty and companionship.
The Pianist
The Pianist tells the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Jewish Polish pianist and classical composer, who survived the Holocaust. Amid German occupation of Warshaw, Szpilman hid for two years until a German officer, who opposed Nazi occupation and policies, aided him in earning his freedom.
