One is love character, the other is love character (a sweet touching movie)

Saw THE LAKE HOUSE. I was moved again. They fell in love in different time and space. They use paper and pen to communicate with each other, a little bit of mystery, a little bit of sweetness, a little bit of isolation, a little bit of beauty. They walked together in a small street at different times. They also have a dog named Jack. Such a warm and wonderful mood.

Such a narrative method should be difficult to grasp. But the film is smooth and fast-paced. Some small objects play the role of connecting the plot. Like puppies, like Persuasion, this novel about waiting. For example, the cottage by the lake.

If you give this article another title, it should be: half sweet, half sad. Because I watched the first half with a smile, and since she decided to cut off the relationship and live a real life, I have been crying (forgive my scruples). By the way, there is another detail. When his father died before, she wrote to him, saying that it would be nice if I spent time with you at that time, and I would hold you. very touching.

The ending was a bit poorly made and a bit far-fetched. Too surreal (perhaps understandably so: the film was built on a surreal basis). But this kiss ending is better than when he gets into a car accident and they can't be together.

Finally, I want to mention the movie music in particular, it's amazing really. The kind of light music, folk or jazz, goes well with the movie, especially the music they danced at Kate's birthday.

The Lake House quotes

  • Alex: [after he saw her at the subway station in 2004] I don't know if you remember but, we saw each other. That is, I saw you. You never told me... how beautiful you were.

    Kate: Well, maybe you saw someone else. That was a bad hair year for me.

    Alex: Long brown hair, gentle unguarded eyes...

    Kate: OK, OK. You saw me. But I still don't know what you look like.

  • Kate: It was you. Why didn't you tell me?

    Alex: You would've thought I was crazy or drunk. Or both.
