Synopsis:
The theme of the film is about the love between a man and a woman who are living in two different time zones. There is a difference of two years between them with the man living in 2006 and the woman in 2008. Both of them live in Chicago and the communication device is the postbox at Lake House where both of them lived at different points of time. The woman who is ahead by two years wants to meet the man today for which the man has to wait for two years. The rest of the story is all about how this love story ends.
What is unique in this film?
Two different time zones and the tender love relationship that develops through the letters. The screenplay is carefully woven in order to avoid the confusion due to two different time periods.
Any similar films?
There are many films that deal with the difference in time periods like Back to the future, 13th Floor, Click, Frequency etc.
What makes this film different from the films mentioned above?
None of the above films are love stories. But this film is a tender love story.
Tailpiece:
I wish there could be some way of looking at how the person you are involved with behaves after two years the way Lake View has shown. Then we could have mended our relationships accordingly and lived happily! |
