The movie that I had chosen is called Hachi and is about a mans best friend and his loyalty to his owner.
Hachi is an Akita dog on transit from Japan to the US when his cage falls out of the train. Parker Wilson is a college professor who happened to be on the same train as Hachi and finds him. Parker tries to find his owner but fails so he tries to find him somewhere to stay for the night but without luck, decides to take him back to his home.
Parker tries to find Hachis owner but is unsuccessful and instead decides to keep him.
Parker and Hachi grow fond of each other and Hachi begins to follow Parker on the commute to the train station even morning when he goes to work and meets Parker in the evening after work, outside the station.
While lecturing, Parker suddenly dies after a heart attack but Hachi doesn't know what happened and still continues to have hope and waits for him even evening.
Parker Wilson's family decide to sell the house and his daughter tries to adopt Hachi but he runs away and finds home in an old train carriage at the station. He is fed by locals and people that have heard about his story.
Hachi continues on to wait for Parker in the same spot every evening hoping that he will arrive. Hachi waits everyday for parker 9 years after Parkers death until he dies.
Hachi is based on a true story of the dog Hachiko and has a statue dedicated to him outside the train station in Japan where he waited for his owner.
Feedback
The first 2 slides of the presentation were on for slightly too long but as soon as you got into the synopsis, the pace picked up and progressed well.
The ending to the presentation was good because you gradually dragged it out so you know it was the end rather than having to awkwardly end it.
It was a good idea to say it was based on a true story at the end since it is a sad film but it makes it more emotional to know that it was based on something that actually happened.
The visuals were great alongside what was talked about as the images represented the scene you were talking about.
Reflection
Before the presentation began, I was nervous as per every presentation and it gradually got worse as it was coming to the time where it was my turn.
During the presentation, I was slightly more relaxed since I knew I had to compose myself and act normal as I was already standing in front of everyone.
The first part of the presentation was daunting but I gradually felt less tense and at the end I felt all of my anxiety drain away.
During the feedback as per, I usually don't remember what people say/feedback as presentations generally overwhelming and my mind switches off until I feel completely comfortable.
