A lovely, romantic and impressive movie, The lake house

"Dr. Kate Forster works in a hospital in Chicago. She has had issues with relating to people in a deeply emotional level. Alex Wyler is a social developer and architect. At different times, they both lived in the same glass house on a lake built by Alex's father. The two begin a correspondence purely on chance when Kate leaves a note in the mailbox of the lake house asking for the new tenant to forward her mail to her new address in the city. Alex gets this message, however he gets it two years prior when he himself lived in the lake house. When the two discover that they are indeed corresponding through time through the time warped mailbox, they learn more about each other. They manage to spend time together through common experiences two years apart. The more they correspond, the deeper the bond between the two. They end up falling in love. Kate has the benefit of being able to tell Alex of what happens in the future. Alex has the benefit of being able to experience things that Kate has experienced in the past. He even has a chance to meet her before she knew him. Kate devises a plan to meet in her present/Alex's future so that they can spend their life together at the same time. However much can happen to Alex between his present and Kate's present, two years in his future. Written by Huggo "


昨晚電視重播,我很期待地等著看。其實已看過一次,而且很喜歡它,但就是忘了有這樣一齣好戲。這類玩轉時空的電影是我最愛看的其中一種電影,再加上它是時裝愛情電影,更令我喜歡它。


男女主角那種不曾相識但已深愛對方,很有以往小時候聽大人說那些筆友成為戀人的故事味兒。電影到中段時,男主角能真實地與女主角相遇,更令人感到這是真實的,能觸摸的。結局亦是另一傑作,女主角對男主角的提示,男主角對愛的等待,男女主角在湖屋相遇,戲情來得簡潔但不馬虎,完全交代了觀眾的疑慮,同時帶動著觀眾的情緒。一間湖屋牽引著兩代的愛情,導演及編劇能淡淡地描寫了上一代的感情,奇幻又浪漫地刻劃出男女主角的相識、相知、相愛、相遇。


幾個元素:love, time, wait for love,令這成為一齣出色的電影。
