{4.5\/5} “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.”<\/p>\n
Kate is a doctor, and has just moved out of the lake house. Alex is an architect, and has just moved in. Kate left a letter in the mailbox for the new tenant, and Alex and Kate start writing letters to each other. They leave the letters in the lake house mailbox — but Kate leaves them in 2006 and Alex leaves them in 2004.<\/p>\n
The Lake House<\/strong> was released in 2006. It’s based on a Korean movie.<\/p>\n The movie switches back and forth between Kate’s story and Alex’s story. The house is a striking piece of architecture — a house with glass walls, on stilts, at the edge of a lake.<\/p>\n If you accept the magic mailbox premise, I think you’ll find it’s an enjoyable movie. There is a fairly large flaw in the story* — whether a flaw ruins a movie for me depends on whether I think about it during the movie or afterwards. This time, it didn’t ruin it.<\/p>\n It’s an unusual romance, and it’s about the choices you make in life.<\/p>\n
