In Reply to: “Il Mare” dvd version question posted by TimTaylor on March 12, 2007 at 00:57:08:
I've been told by a couple of people that they prefer the Hollywood remake "The Lake House" over the original "Il Mare."I have yet to see "Il Mare," but I surprisingly enjoyed the American version, considering I do NoT like the Reeves and Bullock.
Follow Ups:
I actually liked lake House, much to my surprise. Its a bit more accessable to Americans. Seeing Il Mare first helpd. Despite having the same basic story, they have completely different styles.

My recent viewing of “The Lake House” was because of what others have written on movie forums, which is what people have told you.It may be a language thing. Since I don't speak Korean or Chinese, surface emotions conveyed through the dialogue can sometimes be guesswork to me. But, I sense the deeper feelings more as I follow the action and read subtitles. This may be a part of my personal preference of foreign film or it's simply a cultural difference. The voice-over narrations from Keanu and Sandra just seemed so flat to me, which were really needed to convince us of their changing feelings. The storyline is filled out more in TLH, so maybe it's a toss up.
