The Lake House

April 27th 2008 07:18

The Lake House is a story about a man and a woman who are so much in love, but will never seem to be together. As Kate (Sandra Bullock) moves out of her lake house, she leaves a note in the mailbox, and then with her dog Jack, she gets in the car and leaves. Later, Alex (Keanu Reeves)

drives up to the lake house, checks his mail, and reads the note that Kate has left. She asks if the new owner could forward her mail, mentions something about a box in the attic and apologizes for the "paw prints". This has Alex puzzled because there isn't a box in the attic, there aren't any dog prints, and her home hasn't been built yet...and this is what starts not only their letter writing, but their love for one another.

The problem that they face is that by the fifth letter, it is discovered that they are not in the same time frame. Kate is actually 2 years ahead of Alex! Through their writing though, not only do they get to know one another, they help each other out with things that happen in their life--he finds a book she lost; she warns him of a very cold and snowy winter

--but most importantly, they fall in love. As the year goes by we find out that they had in fact met at one point in time, a time that Kate had actually not paid too much attention to because she and Alex kiss...but 2 years later doesn't even realize who it was until an ex boyfriend helped jog her memory. But the point of "do they actually get together?", well, you are just gonna have to watch it and find out if you don't already know the answer.

I was truly amazed at how good this movie was! I am still left baffled at how they saw the mailbox flag go up and down! But you know, that's the beauty of film...they keep you guessing. I'm not one that likes to figure out movies before it happens. You know, how some already know who the killer is 10 minutes into the movie. Not me!! I like to watch and enjoy the surprise. Well this movie does it for me. The whole time I was hoping and praying

and crying that they would eventually get together, and at one time it really had me on edge!! The over all feel of the movie is rather depressing though, I think that's about all I don't like about it. But it does have some pretty funny moments, and of course sad ones too! But all in all, to me, it's definitely worth watching.

Come check out A Love Like That..it's chosen as one of my top romantic movies

i really liked the part where he planted a tree for her, that was sweet . . . i agree it was a generally depressing movie, and any kind of time-travel/parallel universe stories are distracting when you think about the paradox . . . i think keanu and sandra make a nice screen couple though

They really do make a good on-screen couple! I was thinking that same thing when I was writing this, LoL.
