Here is a film with a scene that happens today - July 10. I hope you enjoy the movie and watch it tonoght.
THE LAKE HOUSE
In 2006 Dr. Kate Forester moves
out of the house she lived in on the lake, leaving a letter for the next the
next tenant in the mailbox, asking them to forward her mail. She says the dog’s
paw prints on the walkway where there when she moved in and so was the box in
the attic. In 2004 Alex Wyler, an architect moves in the lake house and is
puzzled as there are no paw prints and it looks like no one has lived in the
house for years. In Chicago at Daly Plaza on Valentine’s Day Kate sees a man
killed in an accident, even though she tries to save him. While restoring the
house a dog shows up and makes the paw prints exactly where Kate said they
would be and is adopted by Alex. Alex meets his brother, but is ignored by his
father who is upset with him for not working as an architect, but a house
builder instead. Alex goes to the address Kate left in her letter, but there’s
just an apartment building under construction there. She leaves him a letter telling him when an unexpected spring
snowstorm will occur. The two become
convinced that they are living two years apart and can communicate through the
mailbox. Alex directs Kate on a walking tour of Chicago’s architectural
highlights. Alex takes a tree from the lake house and plants it in front of the
unfinished apartment house. Directed by Kate, Alex goes to a train station
where two years before (but the present for him) she had left a copy of Jane
Austen’s novel Persuasion. He
promises to return it to her someday. On July 10, 2006 [39:02 to 42:07] Kate
writes a letter asking Alex to call her, but her former boyfriend Morgan does
instead. Alex’s dog runs off and he meets Morgan, who invites him to Kate’s
birthday party. Alex and Kate dance and even kiss, but he does not tell her
about their future correspondence. Alex’s father has a heart attack and dies
during surgery, but before the operation he and Alex are reconciled. Kate gives
Alex a copy of a book printed about his father. Alex makes reservations at a
restaurant two years in the future for him, but the next day for Kate. She
goes, but Alex does not show up. Kate breaks it off with Alex and reconnects
with Morgan and they get engaged. Alex puts box in the attic and rents the lake
house to Kate. Alex and his brother Henry open an architecture firm. Kate finds
her copy of Persuasion which Alex had hidden in the uncompleted
apartment house. On Valentine’s day 2008, Kate and Morgan go to Henry Wyler’s Architecture firm. There she
sees a drawing of the lake house and learns that Henry’s brother Alex was
killed two years ago that day in a traffic accident in Daly Plaza. Realizing
the man she saw killed was Alex she races back to the lake house and leaves him
a letter begging her not to try and meet her that day. As she waits at the
mailbox Alex shows up and they kiss.
An interesting, if confusing
romantic film. If you just go with the story you’ll be all right. If you try to
think about the chronology of the plot, you’ll just get a headache. So just
relax and enjoy it.
