The Lake House

Taken from: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808723966/photo/612566

Watched this movie at the cinema together with jj today. Yes i know,this is a love story and you may be wondering what are 2 guys doing watching it together. Ignore that part as i am here only to give my review and thoughts after catching the movie. But then before i begin,just to be on the safe side,i must stress once again that I AM STRAIGHT.

A brief overview of this movie,it is about 2 people,kate(sandra bullock) and alex(keanu reeves) who happen to be living in the same lake house but exactly 2 years apart. They are able to send letters to one another despite the difference in time through the lake house's mailbox and as time goes by,they find themselves developing feelings for one another. Along the way,magical things happen and despite an attempt to meet up by pleging to be at the same place on the same date and at the same time,fate somehow makes a mockery of them and prevents them from seeing one another. Apparently there is a reason behind their failed meeting but i shan't be a spoiler and spill everything out. Only by watching the movie will one understand the reason and find out the ending to this movie.Nevermind the glitch in the script which will leave viewers wondering if certian issues were possible especially since a particular incident had already taken place.On the whole,this is a movie well worth the ticket price. It fuses together the extraordinary acting of keanu reeves and sandra bullock together with a heart warming plot that would redefine one's perception towards fate and love.

Watching the movie made me reaffirm my believe in fate,that it plays a significant role in every relationship. Walking out on the streets,we come across many people along the way.Some of them we find ourselves attracted to while others we will never be bothered to take a single look at.But all these aside,i feel that it takes more than just guts to get to know a person and more than feelings for 2 people to get together. If fate wasn't present,2 people's path will never cross one another and they would never have gotten acquainted in the first place. Seemingly if fate wasn't present,acquaintances would not become lovers,they would remain simply as friends instead. So what do i believe about fate? I believe that somehow,i would meet the right one as long as fate wants me to no matter how long or how hard i have to wait.But on the other hand,if fate doesn't give me it's blessings,no matter how hard i try i can never meet the person who is meant to be with me. Same goes for love,love between 2 people can weather through any storm as long as they are meant to be together but on the other hand,no amount of compelling can keep 2 people together if they are destined to go apart.Perhaps you may feel this way or you may disagree with me but whatever it is,i would recommend this movie to you and no,i am not paid for all these.Haha!
