No two hearts are so open, so similar in taste, so deep in affection

"The Lake House", translated into "Untouchable Lovers", also known as "The Lake House". It is based on a Korean film of the same name.

On the second and third day after watching the film, I asked myself what other episodes remained in my memory. What else can make you emotional about it.

The glass house by the lake. Yes, the house is clean, arrogant, and independent. Her beauty cannot be approached, the transparent lighting, the calm dark green and the eternal and elegant border color. Calm, lonely, cold and strong. No contention with the world, disdain for the prosperity of the world, only want pure peace. I would love a house like this. Outside the window is a beautiful lake view. Overhead on the lake, a wooden bridge is connected to it, there is no obstruction on all sides, and there is no complicated gaze from others. Talk only to the lake, only to the light.

"I'm here with you Kate". Kate saw the graffiti on the wall, which Alex had left for her two years ago. She laughed. That must be a strange feeling. Take the Chicago city map that Alex marked for her, and look at it one by one. Kate used his own eyes to look at the scene that Alex was in love with. That kind of mood must have been consonant, seeing what the other party saw, thinking about what the other party was thinking, and then smiling knowingly somewhere.

Of course there are a lot of details that I like. For example, the tree that Alex planted for Kate, the book hidden under the floor of the house, and the slow dance steps and reserved and reserved eyes of the two at Kate's birthday party.

The only thing that I don't like is that things that span time and space, I usually don't feel smooth. Not logical. It looked a little cloudy.
But overall, it doesn't affect my liking of the whole movie. Because the first picture is relatively beautiful, I can accept the second detail concept, although it is actually a bit old-fashioned, haha.

"No two hearts can be so open, their tastes are so similar, their feelings are so deep" can also have nothing to do with love, and I think it's more appropriate to say that they know each other by heart. Between the same sex and the opposite sex, there is a spiritual fit and integration that transcends the mundane world and spans time and space. All of this seems to be able to be included in the knowing smile that reaches the bottom of the soul with the slightly raised mouth corners.

The Lake House quotes

  • Simon Wyler: Where's your brother?

    Alex: I sent him away. He wasn't feeling well. You know how he is, he worries.

    Simon Wyler: Yeah, I know. He gets that from your mother, I'm afraid. She always worried too much.

    Alex: What are you looking at?

    [looking at architectural plans]

    Simon Wyler: Hmm? Oh, yeah, here, take a gander. It's a proposal for a museum.

    Alex: Who is it?

    Simon Wyler: Someone new.

    Alex: Oh, I like the walkways, where the light falls. What are the materials?

    Simon Wyler: Granite. Aluminum.

    Alex: White panels are straight out of Meier... but the interior color coming through the front windows, that's different. It's not new, but it's clean, uncluttered. I like it.

    Simon Wyler: When was the last time you were in Barcelona?

    Alex: Years ago, with you, Mom and Henry.

    Simon Wyler: Do you remember visiting Casa de la Caritat?

    Alex: The almshouse.

    Simon Wyler: That's right. You mentioned Meier. His Barcelona museum stands in the same area as Casa de la Caritat. It drinks the same light. Meier designed a series of louvered skylights to capture that light and cast it inward to illuminate the art within, but indirectly. And, that was important, because although light enhances art, it can also degrade it. But, you know all that already, you son of a gun. Now, this... where do you suppose this is to be built?

    Alex: I have no idea.

    Simon Wyler: Oh, but you said you liked it.

    Alex: Conceptually.

    Simon Wyler: Now, come on. You know as well as I do that the light in Barcelona is quite different from the light in Tokyo. And, the light in Tokyo is different from that in Prague. A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the tests of time never disregards its environment. A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature. He must be captivated by the light. Always the light. Always.

  • Alex: There should be a stairway down to the water, a porch, a deck. Here, you're in a - in a box. A glass box with a view to everything that's around you... but you can't touch it. No interconnection between you and what you're looking at.

    Henry Wyler: I don't know, you know. He's got this big maple growing right in the middle of the house.

    Alex: Containment.

    [He pushes a button which opens a glass door]

    Alex: Containment and control. This house is about ownership, not connection. I mean, it's beautiful. Seductive, even. But, it's incomplete.

    [He pauses]

    Alex: It was all about him. Dad knew how to build a house, not a home. But you know... I think he wants us to do what he couldn't. But, admitting that would mean admitting that he came up short in some way... that he could do more. And that tortures him.

    Henry Wyler: Do you remembering being here with Mom?

    Alex: I remember she tried to make it work here... with us... with him.
