Something that I really appreciate with the homeless man is Phil understands that no matter what he can try to control, ultimately there’s stuff that he will never have control of. So instead of constantly trying to save the homeless man, knowing it was his last day, he chose to make it a good day. He spent time with him. He made sure he was fed. He made sure that he wasn’t alone.

[@nickreacts6394]

Excellent point!

​@@nickreacts6394a question for you both would you be interested in reacting to a show that is very funny and hilarious at the same time it is called Total Drama Island

[@bigdream_dreambig]

"...you'll never love anyone but yourself." "That's not true! I don't even _like_ myself." That always hits so hard for me. Though he passes it off as a joke, I think it's his first real moment of emotional honesty. So sad, and yet so universal: so many of us don't like ourselves.

[@lingodelfo5415]

And often that leads to not liking the life you're living and other people either. And if you don't, what's the point? So when Phil learns to like himself, his life and others, he can continue living

[@DanGamingFan2406]

I like how there was no one single event that broke him out of the time loop. He got out because he became a genuinely sincere person and truly loved Rita for who she was. Also, according to the director's commentary, the original script states Phil was in the loop for 10,000 years. Crazy.

[@oliviastratton2169]

10 thousand years? Wow! Most Catholics say purgatory is only 1-2 thousand years!

This movie wasn't the first to use the concept of repeating the day, but it popularized it so much that it's common to refer to the phenomena as a "Groundhog Day". Usually when referring to a story concept.

I've been a huge movie fan since I was a kid. One of the main reasons I like reaction videos is because it's the closest thing to seeing a favorite movie again for the first time. You remember how you felt watching the movie, and you get to see other people go through the same experience, and that's the closest we can get back to that feeling ourselves. Groundhog Day is a classic, so I look forward to watching this reaction.

In the original draft of the story he was stuck in the loop for a thousand years, but that never became official. Consensus in the fandom is that it was around 40 years, so the answer is somewhere between 40 and a thousand years

[@jomojojo6603]

Bill Murray didn't actually have chemistry with the groundhog in the truck. It bit him several times. Andie McDowell actually slapped him to make it look real. They had to stop filming a few times because his face was turning red and swelling. For me, the best line of the movie is "Not today" when the old man dies. I think ppl don't understand that it doesn't really mean today (that the old man dies). Phil means "Not today" because today is every day for him. (Did that make sense?) Guys, for a feel good comedy, try "City Slickers".

[@customfinn]

My favorite line is when he was on the phone saying about tomorrow, "there wasn't one today!" [Click] " hello? Hello?"

[@gmunden1]

The Groundhog Day event, as shown in the film , is located in western Pennsylvania several miles from Pittsburgh. The significance of the groundhog/marmot is due to farming and planting of crops. The animal was used as a barometer for the weather , mostly by German farmers. The farmers would observation the sleeping patternsof the groundhogs in order to determine when to plant and harvest. When European immigrants arrived in North America, they relied on the same patterns of behavior of these rodents to help prepare for the coming season. Immigrants discovered the groundhog in the areas where they settled. The use of the name groundhog vs. marmot depends on location. Marmots (same family of rodentia) are often found in the hills and mountainous regions. Groundhogs are found in the valleys or lowlands. Groundhogs are found in places such as Pennsylvania. Marmots are often found in places such as Alaska. Marmots are also found across Europe and some parts of Eurasia. Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania broadcasts the Groundhog Day event at dawn on 2 February each year. The event is broadcast live on TV. Many people travel to Punxsutawney to observe the event.

[@mythra7174]

When he goes to the movie theater dressed as Clint Eastwood, he tells the woman he's with that he's seen the movie 100 times. So even early on, it's been quite a while.

@@mythra7174 He also learns French, piano, and ice sculpting, all of which take years to master.

[@TenTonNuke]

It's interesting that Phil goes through the five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Because he basically is coming to terms with his own death.

[@Marant2327]

So a theory I recently read is that when Rita told him to do the news segment the first time and he blew her off, that started the time loop. It finally broke when he did the great news segment she wanted that last time. It's a good theory!

[@jollyrodgers7272]

A gourd is slang for 'skull'. Hot Dog! (hot-dickety-dog) is a 20th century (or earlier) exclamation of joy. Rats! Nuts! Nertz! are negative sentiments. That's Nat King Cole singing IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING IN LOVE, my favorite cover of that song. Sean Connery sings a line of it to Dustin Hoffman in FAMILY BUSINESS (1989).

It took him forever -- In the movie Groundhog Day, Phil Connors relives the same day 12,395 times, which is 33 years and 350 days. However, some estimates range from about 500 years up to 10,000 years. My thought how awful for everyoneelse.

Lots of up exaggerated close-ups use oversized props that are built specifically for that purpose. Zach Snyder does this frequently in his movies, but I've also heard other directors talking about the same technique.

[@paulrogers4483]

On my list of the top 10 movies ever made. It's gotta be the most original concept for a movie ever conceived. Think of it as A Christmas Carol/Scrooge except Groundhog Day not X-mas and lifetimes rather than overnight. Just the reclamation of a complete asshat or hole if you prefer. The number of days he spent in the loop was never confirmed by anyone as far as I know but it had to have been multiple lifetimes. Think about it, he would have had to studied years to do some of the things he did. Becoming fluent in French, playing the piano at a professional level, ice sculpting at a master level, ice carving at a master level alone would have taken decades a piece. Amazing movie all in all and I'm glad you got to see it, It's definitely on the list of movies you have to see in your lifetime. BTW the scene with the groundhog steering, Bill got bit a few times LOL. ✌Peace✌

[@mrtim5363]

I'm sorry, When I went to chef school, Ice Sculpting was a one year course. & If you did it every year for all four years of schooling, you could count the individual lines on the feathers of an eagle. Decades, are not required. Peace.

Hi Nick! Well... Actually, the German author Wilhelm Hauff wrote a story almost 200 years ago that plays with a not dissimilar time anomaly. It's just that the actors are passively involved in the process. The story is: "The Story of the Ghost Ship". I'm linking a story here in German, but with very good English subtitles.

You guys Should react to Bedazzled (2000) next. Staring Brendan Fraser. It also directed by Harold Ramis.

[@DeRockMedia]

This used to be one of my favorite comedies as a kid, now as an adult, its more existential and horrifying to me, its like playing a game with NPCs, you will eventually sense that nothing is real and would probably drive me mad after years of doing it. In the Wikipedia entry: In relationship to the spiritual interpretations of the films, many have tried to estimate how long Phil supposedly remains trapped in the loop, in real time, with a wide variance in estimated values. During filming, Ramis, who was a Buddhist, observed that according to Buddhist doctrine, it takes 10,000 years for a soul to evolve to its next level. Therefore, he said, in a spiritual sense, the entire arc of Groundhog Day spans 10,000 years.[19] Deezen noted that the second draft of the screenplay called for Phil to be cursed to live the time loop for 10,000 years.[9] In the DVD commentary, Ramis estimated a real-time duration of 10 years. Later, Ramis told a reporter, "I think the 10-year estimate is too short. It takes at least 10 years to get good at anything, and allotting for the down time and misguided years he spent, it had to be more like 30 or 40 years."[50] In 2005, Rubin said, "Ultimately it became this weird political issue because if you asked the studio, 'How long was the repetition?', they'd say, 'Two weeks'. But the point of the movie to me was that you had to feel you were enduring something that was going on for a long time ... For me it had to be-I don't know. A hundred years. A lifetime."[51] In 2014, the website WhatCulture combined various time duration assumptions and estimated that Phil spent a total of 12,395 days-just under 34 years-reliving Groundhog Day.[52][53]

My two favorite Bill Murray movies are both serious ones (rather than the comedies for which he is legendary). I hope you'll consider reacting to Lost in Translation (2003) and The Razor's Edge (1984) which is listed as the first dramatic role that Bill Murray undertook as a lead actor.

[@_xBrokenxDreamsx_]

perfect screenplay.. three acts hedonism/despair/actualization each ending on a date with rita. i like to think it's only 3-5 years 'coz if it takes 30-40 years to become deserving of life and love we're all screwed. back in the 90s people used to have watch parties on groundhog day where they watched the movie over and over again the entire day. a little excessive but cool that they enjoyed the movie that much.

Harold Ramis gave a fascinating interview about the many reactions to this movie. Yep it's hilarious, but it also apparently inspired people from so many philosophical and religious backgrounds (or none at all) to think about/interpret the events and themes in the long repeat of this day., like you and the barfly mentioned at 13:48. Hindus spoke about the purpose of reincarnation, Catholics spoke about the purification of purgatory, Jews, about repentance from selfishness, Buddhists, about learning through suffering to put aside your own desires, etc etc. Ramis was bemused by this because he hadn't necessarily intended the movie as philosophy, but he did understand how people could see this movie as a metaphor for life -- in lots of ways. GREAT discussion at the end , by both of you. Thanks for posting.

[@randybass8842]

Great reaction, and I love the extended discussion afterwards. I have this on DVD and watch it at least once per year (Groundhog Day is a good time to watch it). In the last few months, I've been watching a lot of reaction videos of this, maybe 10 to 20. One thing I though of while watching your reaction, is that we don't see what it was like in the evening party before that final night. Bud, the master of ceremonies, had died earlier that evening by choking on his steak at the restaurant. Something happened to the older women after they had the flat tire, and Phil saved them by changing it for them. Something had happened to the piano player, and they needed an immediate replacement, so Phil was able to fill in and substitute, thanks to his "years" of piano lessons. That party would have been a very bleak and dismal place without the actions of Phil on that day. If you notice when Phil is in the hospital with the old man, in the background is a boy in a wheelchair. This is the boy he saves from falling out of the tree (who never thanked him).

At first it seems like Phil is being so terrible, trying to manipulate Rita so he can be with her, but think of it from his perspective: he's been stuck in this loop for so long that he must be terribly lonely, and yet if he wants to make anything happen with anyone, it _must_ happen within one day. If his pace is any slower, everything resets and he has to start all over again! I've empathized with Phil much more once I realized that.

Given how stress filled my life is right now, I'd gladly sign up for a day like this. I could call out sick to work & spend the entire day reading my books (several hundred actual physical books), watch all the movies & shows I've missed out on, SLEEP! And just relax with my cats. But go end my luck, the power would go out or the house would burn down or I'd end up sick the whole time. (Not being negative really...if I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any.)

Brian Doyle - a fun character actor...played the Manager of the Caddy Shack (in the movie Caddy Shack) as well as Noah the Arcade owner and commercial support in Wayne's World, you gotta watch Wayne's World.

Not exactly an original idea. "It's a Wonderful Life" is a Christmas classic from 1946, but I reckon this the best of all the do-over movies I've seen. Still enjoyed your reaction all the way through, and your insights at the end were worth a listen. Good job.

Why did the old man always recognize him? Why did he die in different ways? Why did phil call him dad and pop? Why does the bartender seem to know something? Some math folks on the net seem to calculate, for him to get good at everything he did, plus know people's histories, and know the town so well, and everyone know him, he was in this loop over 30 years. I say, 2 things had to happen. 1. A completely unselfish and happy day. 2. Rita had to give all she had, because she WANTED to be with him. The doctor guy, Harold Ramis. He and Murray worked together since late 70s, with Ivan Reitman and Dan Akroyd. Ramis hated Murray for his stuck up, misogynistic ways, but they did make movie magic together, with this, Stripes, Ghostbusters and other movies. Lots of writing producing directing acting etc., movies with Bill. Such as Stripes, Ghostbusters 1-2, and others. It was a story originally written, very dark, and him being in the loop like 10,000 years!😮😮😮 Harold Ramis and Ivan Reitman, reworked it to make it a bit funny! But u must ask urself? Did he really leave the loop completely? He's staying with rita, in the town he knows everything about, he's going to live there, everyone else knows him extensively...also watch his movie, Scrooged! or worse thought, what if he became the owner or master of his own loop, and now everyone else is in it?😮😮 The real trick is this, the story was written long ago, and much darker. It's a psychology study. Think of every character in this, on screen longer than 3-4 minutes. They all have very distinct and different personalities. Who are u? Hannah is unchanged start to finish, like Rita. And Ashe? Just go back and listen to his comments because he is very much bad Phil!

If you enjoy Bill Murray, try watching “The Man Who Knew Too Little”. Very funny Bill Murray movie.

So this is an old philosophical thought experiment by Friederich Nietzsche. In his original presentation, he asked the reader to imagine they were forced to relive the same life-day-by-day, every detail the same-for all eternity, how would you live? All of your mistakes remain, but all of your victories remain. The goal was to strive for the best version of you that you could be. It's a great thought experiment for anyone trying to figure out their life and themselves.

28:28 - "Hot dog!" is a common exclamated expression. Lol The same as saying something like "Holy mackerel!" It's Basically the clean version of the "Hot damn!" exclamation.

I love this film... BUT I think the musical is even better. I saw it last year in London, with Andy Karl as Phil, who was the first to play him in 2016, and he has evolved the portrayal of Phil excellently. The music by Tim Minchin (who also did Matilda the Musical) is perfect, blending a few styles, with some great theme and variation, my favourite song being either 'Stuck' or 'If I had my time again'. Then there's the amazing stage design and choreography, like in the song 'Hope' where Phil repeatedly kills himself only to magically appear back in the bed. Since the musical has been done several times, they've managed to expand the character of Rita, as well as minor characters eg Nancy gets a whole song which is really interesting. All in all it's a perfect adaptation of the film and a bit more.

I never looked it up, but you cant tell me that animal crossings old Lyle isn't based off Ned , He's a GROUNDHOG, he sells insurance and he says Bang! Close to Bing!

[@alvinhelms2170]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time (and probably #1 in the Comedy category). And the conversation between the two of you while (and especially after) watching it was the most cogent and insightful reaction I've ever seen on KZbin. Very precise bullseye. … Or rather, two bullseyes.

[@annmariemills1554]

Another fun feel good movie is "Father of the Bride" and FOTB Part 2. Starring Steve Martin. I know you two would love it, so I would love it if you reacted to both❤❤❤Thanks

[@bidwell13]

6:05 the groundhog thing never made sense to me cause if he sees his shadow then the sun is out and it’s spring. If he doesn’t then it’s cloudy. One movie that has a fun story about the groundhog is the Rankin-Bass tv special “Jack Frost” from 1979. It has Buddy Hackett, Robert Morse and Don Messick. This and the other Rankin-Bass specials from back in the day were amazing. 13:02 Egon before meeting Peter. 14:59 it’s funny that the cops actually followed them on the tracks.

Came here for the Tremors reaction....you said you wanted suggestions of horror comedies (or at least that's the way I interpreted it) Have you seen Tucker and Dale vs. Evil? The other two are comedies in general 1.) Galaxy Quest (funnier if you're a Star Trek fan, but still funny as hell) or 2.) Peter Pan Goes Wrong (this is a BBC production of the stage show, so its' not exactly a movie but it *was* edited/shot for video release. It's free on youtube.....my sides hurt, it was that good..

[@claudiaperico1863]

Great reaction, one of my favorite movies... Here in Argentina, some years ago, this movie was aired in loop the whole day, a February 2, in Channel 13.. I just watched seven times in a row that day, was and awesome and funny day... Feel a bit like Phil Connors myself! 😂

[@bethanyheyde805]

Thanks for the great reaction video, and for the spelling of your girlfriend’s name. That was helpful. You’re both cute! ❤

[@SonOfEire3]

If you like this movie I HIGHLY recommend "Palm Springs". It has a similar concept and goes even deeper into all the metaphysical/philosophy stuff this touches on

[@MWSin1]

I think I've found a phrase that perfectly sums up most of the characters that Bill Murray plays: Charmingly unlikeable.

[@deannawinsletthughes5958]

Not sure how but someone figured it up and he was stuck in the loop approximately 12,400 times. That’s nearly three and a half decades.

[@XRakxXRaknasan]

Check out Scrooged with bill Murray or trapped in paradise with Nicholas cage

[@mrtim5363]

When Phil stuffs the entire piece of cake in his mouth at one time. The director Harold Ramis & the actor Bill Murray are paying tribute to their friend John Belushi fellow comedian and actor who died far too young. The scene is a direct copy of a John Belushi scene in a very funny movie called, "Animal House". & 'Very funny', is all I'm going to say about the film.

[@januzi2]

Andie MacDowell? "Hudson Hawk" or the shampoo/creams adverts.

[@carlchiles1047]

Someone calculated ..actually many have..and he was stuck for over 6000 days…
