This is a gut wrenching sad true story of a dog that waits for its master after the master dies. This movie always brings me to tears no matter how many times I watch it and to me the re-watch value is very high. Anyway the acting was okay the master and most of the other characters did fine but I've seen better. The music in this movie was fit to the 80's happy pop style and early 1920's traditional Japanese. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a tear jerking kind of movie and I give this an overall 10.
