The Lake House
一部一直闻名想看的电影,但每次想真的慢慢静下心来看的时候总有事情来打扰,或许只是自己的借口罢了。
某次和Dido通电话,她跟我说她正在看这部电影,说这电影给她很“舒服”的感觉。舒服的电影?是什么感觉呢?
今天原本是要等待下在Traveler第六集的下载的,无所事事中,翻出电脑里存的一些东西来看,找到了The Lake House。
今天的心情很适合看这样的片子,沉静,陶醉。
湖边的玻璃房子,四面八方是美丽的风景,但却只可远观,无法触摸。
时空交错中,两个无法在现实生活中找到安全感的男女就这么相识了,虽然有些不可思议,但是事情就是这么发生的。
看似虚幻的世界里却是最令人感到真实舒适的。
从很开头我就猜到了后面会发生什么,可是导演还是跟人开了一个玩笑,最后以这样美丽的结局收尾,很美丽,真的。
这样平静无起伏波澜的故事该有这样的结局,不要让幸福噶然而止。
或许现实生活中的我们,每一个人都需要这样一个无法触摸的恋人,有的时候,时空给人以美感。
真的很喜欢这部电影,吸引我的首先是影片的名字,感觉安详,触不到的恋人,是中文版的译名,不过The Lake House更让人倾心。
一直以来就有一个想法,在湖边买一间小屋,安静闲适地一天一天过着。
其次吸引我的是电影的女主角Sandra Bullock,几年前看speed1.2的时候就喜欢上她了,第一部里的男主角也依然是基诺里维斯。Sandra长得很舒服,在这部片子里更是有一种说不出的高雅气质,这着实是一个有魅力的女人。不花哨,不精致,但令人赏心悦目。
很巧的是最近相当喜欢的一首歌是Hide and Seek,几乎天天听,这首歌的歌名倒是很适合这部电影,因此就拿来做背景音乐。
Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek
Where are we
What the hell is going on
The dust has only just began to fall
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling
Spin me around again and rub my eyes
This can’t be happening
When busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines?
All those years they were here first
Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasue moments hung before
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
Still life
Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Oh, you won’t catch me around here
Blood and tears they were here first
Hmm what you say
Oh that you only meant well,
well of course you did
Hmm what you say
Hmm that it’s all for the best, of course it is
Hmm what you say
That it’s just what we need, you decided this
Hmm what you say
What did she say
Ransom notes keep falling at your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no i don’t believe you
You don’t care a bit you don’t care a bit
You don’t care a bit....

The Lake House
| Feeling that it's time for a change in her life, Dr. Kate Forster leaves the suburban Illinois locale where she completed her residency and takes a job at a busy Chicago hospital. One thing she is reluctant to leave behind is the uniquely beautiful house she's been renting--a spacious and artfully designed refuge with large windows that overlook a placid lake. It's a place in which she felt her true self. |
It is a winter morning in 2006. On her way to the city, Kate leaves a note in the mailbox for house's next tenant, asking him to forward her mail and noting that the inexplicable painted paw prints he might notice by the front door were there when she moved in. But when the next tenant arrives, he sees a much different picture. Alex Wyler, a talented but frustrated architect working at a nearby construction site, finds the lake house badly neglected: dusty, dirty and overgrown with weeds. And no sign of paw prints anywhere.
The house has special meaning for Alex. In a happier time it was built by his estranged father, a renowned architect who allowed his professional acclaim to grow at the expense of his family life. Alex feels a sense of peace here now and commits to restoring the property to its original beauty. | |
He disregards Kate's note until, days later, while painting the weather-beaten jetty he sees a stray dog run across the fresh paint and then towards the entrance of the house, leaving paw prints exactly where she said they'd be. Baffled, Alex writes back, saying that the house had no occupant before him and wondering how she could have known about the dog; while Kate, who just left it a week ago, imagines he is playing some kind of joke on her and fires back a reply.
As Kate and Alex continue to correspond through the lake house's mailbox they confirm that they are, incredibly, impossibly, living two years apart, and each at a time in their lives when they are struggling with past disappointments and trying to make a new start. Sharing this unusual bond, they reveal more of themselves to one another with each passing week--their secrets, their doubts and dreams, until they find themselves falling in love. Determined to bridge the distance between them at last and unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary connection, they tempt fate by arranging to meet. But, by trying to join their two separate worlds, they could risk losing each other forever.
