The Lake House

What a beautiful house, calm, indifferent, out of the mundane, floating among the lakes and mountains.

I like this kind of house on the water. But I don't know how to calculate the public pool area, so I won't include the entire lake, right? And how does the sewer of this romantic-looking house go without polluting the environment? How to keep warm in winter? There will be more mosquitoes in summer...

Is this analysis too realistic? I heard that Lin Huiyin said that "practicality, sturdiness, and beauty" are the most basic principles of architectural design, so although I am a little more earthy, these practical problems should be relied on, and I hope that the beautiful artistic conception will not be damaged.

The highlight of Keanu Reeves' film, in addition to a beautiful house, is the handling of time and space. Although it only changed back and forth between two years, it was handled with a degree of relaxation. The nameless power will cut off the estranged lovers. There are surprises, sighs, speculations, and a sense of accomplishment. Of course, the acting skills of these two couples are much better than that of "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

I don't remember who said that as long as the time and space are brought into the story, countless movies can be made. It's a pity that the movie is easy to shoot, and the quality is hard to find, and the arrow of time is not so easy to play with~. So far, I've only seen three good time-reversal films: the Back to the Future trilogy, Terminator II, and the Lake House.

    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.
