Review of The Lake House (2006) by Brittany — 19 Jun 2006

I think everyone has made this movie more complicated then it was meant to be. At the time yes, it is supposed to be a complicated relationship between two people, but you aren't supposed to be thinking so much.

Everything is laid out for you, its not a thriller movie its a romance.. the people are in love and they live in a different time. We aren't supposed to figure out why time has overlapped or why someone from the past can be in love with someone from the future merely because of letters.

I think it is supposed to signify the typical love life, in a non-typical atmosphere. People can spend their lives lonely and when they meet someone the first thing they want to do is push them away, not purposely but because of the fact that life cannot be that wonderful, that they are not meant to witness romance first hand.

Sandra and Keanu both have a calmness to them, in this movie. They both are easygoing about things yet heartbroken, so this movie tugs at your heart. If a movie cant do that then its not a chick flick or a Romance.

There has to be some sort of pain felt for the characters. I liked this movie a lot despite the other peoples opinions. Maybe im not a good critic but I am human and this movie grabbed at my heart and showed me that love IS complicated, but somehow it will find a way.

Also, that time does not change the feelings of the heart.
