I really like watching movies. We often go to the movies with our parents or friends. I usually like historical films or full-length cartoons. Mom loves movies about superheroes. But there is one film that touched us all, not love, but Dad - leaving no one indifferent. Moreover, from now on this is my favorite movie. His name is "Hatiko". Last weekend, the whole family watched this movie on the computer. Its plot is based on a poignant story about a true friendship between a man and a dog, based on real events. I have never encountered anything like this.
