The estimated time Phil spent in the time loop is 33 years, 350 days!🤯 NOOOOOOO!!!!😱Punxsatawney Phil saw his shadow today, so there will be 6 more weeks of winter, just like the movie.😞The guy running the Groundhog ceremony and was choking is Bill Murray's brother Brian Doyle Murray. The doctor Phil sees is his buddy Egon from the "Ghostbusters" films, Harold Ramis R.I.P. Great timing and reactions for this classic comedy, Addie!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽(The rarely seen four claps!)
What nobody ever talks about is how messed up Phil would be after something like that. Living 35-years where you know everything that’s going to happen and having no permanent consequences to your actions, to suddenly being thrust back into linear-time reality… that’s Stephen King level horror right there.
The bit with the homeless guy always gets me. Sometimes, there's just nothing you can do, no matter how hard you try.
Andie McDowell is probably one of the most adorable humans in Hollywood history everytime she opens her mouth.
I don’t think the cycle of endless Groundhog Days is broken until Phil says to Rita “I’m happy now.” That’s when the snow starts, which is the first time we see it snow in the town itself.
“Is here going to get stuck there?” More than you know.
A key point is when Rita tells Phil that "maybe it's not a curse". After she says that, Phil starts using the time-loop to improve himself and become a better person.
The movie was an interesting study of what a person might do when they realize they are caught in a loop - panic, mischief, destructive behavior, trying to make it end, coming to terms, and doing as much positive with it as possible.
Your comment about him slipping and breaking his back is actually a genius plot for a dark comedy. Phil spends all his time, learns his lesson, is a better person for it, dies the next day, turns out that’s how life works. You relive your last full day over and over until you find the meaning of life and finish it as a good person, then you finally pass
There are whole academic essays written about this film, some breaking down how long Phil was in the loop (it's a lot longer than you'd think), while others discuss the philosophical and theological aspects of his situation (fate, freewill, reincarnation, etc.). It's a testament to Murray, Ramis and everyone involved that such a simple, high concept story (person repeats the same day over and over) could be both enjoyable as entertainment and praised for its depth and substance. Add to that the tensions and problems behind the camera. Murray and Ramis (long-time friends and collaborators) had a falling out over this movie (apparently they mended things after several years, thankfully). Once you've seen this movie, it sticks with you.
This makes me think of my mom. She and I loved watching this together. Also, it’s the anniversary of my mom and dad’s first date.
The attention to all the little details are fun to catch. When the nurse is giving him the news about the old man's death you can see the kid who fell out of the tree in the background with a broken leg.
I think this movie does a good job of illustrating what it is like to have depression, what it looks like to descend into your lowest point and then gradually come out of it again. Being kinda negative to start that feels almost defensive, even funny, because you see the world in such a definite way. Then every day starts to feel like it is on repeat, to the point of meaninglessness. Because that is what the depth of depression is: Nothing makes you feel anything and nothing changes. There may be a point where you feel invincible because of it but that eventually goes. Then you just want it all to stop because that would be a different kind of nothing, at least. Then when feelings start to come back, good or bad, they are kind of heavy and hard to take, and coming out of it is also gradual; the first time you feel and experience everything without that cloud over you feels perfected in a way, and then you are ready to move cautiously forward.

Addie: "I wonder if anyone has counted up the days?"
His depression/suicide sequence is so poignant. One of the most emotional moments in cinema is when he leaps from the tower It's even worse in the musical with the song playing.
IMO, this is one of the best movies ever. More real life lessons than pretty much any other film. There was even a car chase, a bank heist, and an explosion. And a cute animal. :)
"Is he gonna get stuck here." Boy did you have no idea how true that was on so many levels.
I love Groundhog Day but mainly because this movie is one of my favorites. It gets better each time you watch it. Diving into the movie trivia is great too!
“Oh,he’s going to get stuck there…”
