[@Foxtrot369]

The radio station we listen to has _"No repeat work days"_ where between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday they don't play the same song twice. That doesn't stop them from repeating the same songs, in the same order, on *each* of those days though...

Also in art lessons at school my teacher put the radio on for us and I don't know what station it was but there were a few songs they played almost every single day

[@psifla99]

There’s more to it than that. “I Got You Babe, I Got You Babe”... repetition in the lyrics. When the loop breaks, the chorus in the song has ended before the DJs start arguing. It’s symbolic of where Phil is.

[@JD867]

Phil's just conditioned to wake up when he hears the song. He's been doing it for decades. I wouldn't be surprised if he's got some permanent trauma associated with it.

My favorite fact about this movie was that Harold Ramis was aware of Bill Murray's tendency to burn out during production, so he actually filmed the days in reverse, with the end scenes being while Bill was still fresh, and the later scenes being when he was in full asshole couldn't care less mode. Made the transformation all the more believable.

God, I always burst into tears each time the movie gets to the section where Bill Murray's character starts to spend time with the homeless old man. I'm tearing up just thinking about it...

[@hamsandwichindahouse]

Same here. It's when the good deeds went from checking karma boxes to getting real with humility and learning the intrinsic value of doing something right for no reward. i think for many, myself included, charity and good deeds feels good, so there is an element of selfishness in the act. This couldn't be more obvious when you see a celebrity talking about their "work" or "organization" because it's clear they want to publicity. Good charity begins with anonymity and progresses to work that may not result in success, but is worth trying if you can handle repeated failure emotionally. I think it's apt this is represented by a medical condition which progresses to death, because I imagine this what physicians must go through as they mature in their practice.

[@psifla99]

“Sometimes people just die.” “Not today.” That and the two scenes that follow may be the most painful moments in the film, precisely because for the first time, Phil realises he can’t do everything or save everyone even with his daily reset.

I would question any statistics on accuracy. The "predictions" are intentionally a "six of one, half-a-dozen of the other" kind of situation. Groundhog Day is roughly six weeks before the spring equinox (i.e. the start of spring) and "just around the corner" is vague and inspecific enough that it can be read as "about a month and a half." So any levels of accuracy are, themselves, misleading.

[@wealthedge]

Another sin to consider - Phil says that he always wakes up “without a dent in the fender”, meaning his body is exactly the same as the first day. In order to properly play the piano or use a chainsaw, it requires small muscle and bone training. It’s not just in “your brain”. There is somatic visceral strength and dexterity needed to properly perform those actions. If he “reset” every day he would lose that strength. Like calluses for playing guitar. You can’t grow those in one day.

[@stevesheroan4131]

This has always been my biggest hangup with the movie. That, and the “he’s my student” line, considering Phil would obviously have absolutely no reason to go to a lesson anymore when he is already great at the piano and could be doing good deeds for that time. There are numerous implausibilities in the movie, but that line just sticks in my craw for some reason.

[@nicholastosoni707]

Unless--UNLESS--the dexterity built is the first sign of the time loop starting to thaw. He's starting to make genuinely good use of it, so in subtle ways he doesn't change as much.

[@ArmyGrunt1986]

I always wondered what would've happened if he made himself and coworkers stay up all night in the same room, then leave immediately in the morning. Would this day be the new loop if so? Or at 6am would his coworkers instantly teleport back to their rooms and wiped memory? Or would the loop force them to fall asleep? Bugs the hell out of me every time I watch this movie

[@mapesdhs597]

Which poses the question, is 6am even relevant? We assume it is, but perhaps that's merely when he wakes up because of the alarm? The loop could actually occur at 4am, or whenever. Or is the phenomena somehow preventing him from staying awake so he can't observe the flip? There are lots of things which don't make much sense, but then, time travel plot writing rarely does if one properly delves into what we're shown. :D
