TCP#4: The Lake House

Today’s theme is Sandra Bullock Movies. If you are among the many who enjoys watching her movies, then come join us this week!

My Sandra Bullock movie would be The Lake House.

A lonely doctor who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its former resident, a frustrated architect. The two are introduced and share correspondence across the years by leaving letters in a mailbox at the lake house they have both lived in at separate points in time. They must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it’s too late.

This is actually a re-make of the Korean movie Il Mare. Although I always find the Korean versions much better than its American counterparts, The Lake House entertained me better than Il Mare. I was literally on the edge of my seat while waiting for Alex (Keanu’s role) to appear at the lake house and prove that the letter arrived just in time.
