Groundhog Day (1993) REACTION

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Fun Fact: This was Bill Murray favorite movie in his entire life.

[@otisroseboro5613]

That's true

[@JamesASharp]

Yeah. Too bad that the production of this film was a nightmare for Harold Ramis and Bill Murray. But, it all worked out in the end.

[@Bobby4USN]

My favorite of his is still “What About Bob?” but this is still in the top few.

[@kyoai]

@TLM What does your wall-of-text preaching have to do with the movie or this comment thread?

[@madzec]

Well for me is Ghostbusters... I adore those movies (not counting 2016 abomination ofc)

[@hovis62]

Feb. 2 was Catholic Candlemas and in Germany the weather-predicting animal was a badger (although bear or fox were Euopean regional variants). In the US it became a groundhog. The weird thing about Groundhog Day is that if the groundhog sees his shadow, Spring arrives in 6 weeks (March 16), and if he doesn't, Spring arrives even earlier. Spring actually occurs on March 21, 5 days later than the latest prediction of the groundhog, so it just refers to the colder weather. Not-so-Fun-Fact: In the scene where the groundhog drove, it bit Bill Murray's finger to the bone. (He still says it's his favorite movie he made.)

[@Solidaritas1]

When he began to do good for its own sake and loved others as himself his chains were broken and the "curse" was lifted...this is a deeply philosophical film from both an ethics perspective and a metaphysical one.

[@donkfail1]

Or you could just interpret it that life can seem like an endless meaningless repetition with no hope for end or relief, until you find that special person and they stay with you, and then everything changes and it all seems worth it.

[@suzzer19]

I live close to the location that they filmed in. Every year they celebrate Groundhog Day in the town square. Last time I was there the restaurant was closed that they filmed in. Another restaurant across the street had pictures of that day with the cast. The hole he steps in on the street was filled and it has a footprint where he stepped. Great review ladies!

29:50 "Do we have these animals here in Bulgaria?" Nope! They're only native to Canada and the United States. EDIT: But another commenter correctly said that a groundhog is a type of marmot, and some of those do live in Europe. The closest I could find to Bulgaria was the alpine marmot. (Its range includes mountains in northern Romania, Slovakia, and Austria.)

[@Trenchcoat3]

Oh wow I just looked them up and they look very similar to the groundhog. Neato

[@Mikesupr1]

[@lifeincarnate7304]

The semi-official day count is 33 years and 350 days. Calculated by the shown days(41), mentioned days(414), wasted days(?), deaths(?) and the days it takes to master certain skills like ice sculpting, french poetry, and the piano(11,931). Harold Ramis originally thought it was about 10 years but eventually realized it was between 30-40 years. Great Watch!!!

[@Strider91]

This was what I heard too. . . .

[@xexorweglin]

39:48 No, they're saying that the man was just so old that his body wouldn't survive anymore. As you see, it didn't matter what Phil did at all. No matter what he tried, the man was going to pass away that same day. It's a good life lesson. It's really easy to get angry and scream at the sky (or others) because you lose someone dear to you. I lost my own mom just last year. But sometimes it's just the end of a person's life. Sometimes there's literally nothing that can change the outcome. The best thing to do IMO is to remember how great they were and to do everything you can to live up to the best person you can be. (Not trying to be what they think you should have been, but to be the best you're actually capable of, in whatever pursuit you choose.) It's all anyone who really loves you wants from you, anyway.

[@MrHws5mp]

For years I'd watch this when it came on TV, and the bit where he tries to save the old guy just passed me by. However I've lost most of my elderly family to old age and it's complications since then, and every time I see that sequence now, it gets me right in the feels.

[@richcarrCCC]

Likewise

[@msdarby515]

When Rita said he is all about himself, she was wrong. He actually hated himself and that's why he was so surprised she thought he acted the way he did out of ego. Later when Rita stays up with him and they are talking she says, "Maybe it's not a curse, it depends on how you look at it." That's when he decides to do something with the time he has and begins to improve himself, take piano lessons, begins to care about the people around him like the old man. Finally, once he can love himself and is happy with his life, then Rita can love him.

[@miguellopezblanco667]

Someone calculated how many days phil was trapped in the time loop by adding all those that appear in the film and the average time it would take to know the lives of all the people, speak perfect French, play the piano masterfully, make ice sculptures, etc. The result of all that is about 32 years. 32 years caught on the same day. Under the guise of a comedy, the film is actually a tragedy.

[@Wesleech]

In the original script it may have been millions. (days)

[@nonconsensualopinion]

@@Wesleech Yeah, it was stated that each day he'd read a single page in a book in the library. At one point he'd read all the books.

[@Ivy94F]

Yeah, I’ve read that too, but always saw that as the minimum amt of time he could’ve spent there, not the exact time period. That would mean he had no days where he just didn’t do anything at all and we see him go through a period of depression, despondency and suicidal ideation. He definitely wasn’t going to piano or sculpting lessons on those days. Lol.

[@farmerbill6855]

No, you over analyzing it is the tragedy.

[@TheKyfe]

The original manuscript was 10,000 years, and there's a deleted scene where Connors says to Rita, "I've been waiting for you for 10,000 years."

[@corzahazard444]

If you order a drink on the rocks, it's neat with ice, Neat meaning it's not a mixed drink, and a twist usually means a slice of citrus fruit that's generally cut from the centre of the slice, twisted an placed on the rim of the glass

[@Ivy94F]

Ah, neat means not mixed! I thought it meant without ice, but I guess that’s ’straight?’

[@gluuuuue]

Seen this so many times before, and I've only just realized this time around: from the setup of the movie, before the repetition even starts, when Phil announces he's thinking of leaving his job, he's *already* complaining about feeling like his life is the same routine with doing the Groundhog Day event. He says he's worried people will think he's going nowhere and not capable of doing anything different. (And, of course, the realization the old man is dying every Groundhog Day, uncared for by any family, friends, or by anyone else in the town, is such a sobering and depressing turning point in the movie for Phil..)

[@mattfinleylive]

Oh it goes so much deeper than that! He tries the seven deadly sins, (and exhibits the seven virtues by the end) It's a "purgatory" of sorts... Rita is the female patron saint of impossible cases. Jerry Rubin wrote the heck out of this...

[@emilywilhite5807]

If you think of everything he learned, he had to repeat that day thousands of times. He knows every detail about everyone in the town. He learns to speak French. Ice sculpture. Excellent piano player. And there are hints that he is even a doctor. I think he started learning medicine when he couldn’t save the old man. That’s why he asks to see the chart.

[@vicegamer6944]

To put it into perspective, if the movie wasn't repeating Groundhog Day of 1993, the movie would have taken place from 1993-2027 (give or take a few years).

[@myeckwaters]

Very cool to see a reaction from people who don't already know the premise. By the way, groundhogs are also known as woodchucks, although there is no Woodchuck Day, which I think is deeply unfair.

[@thorstrebla980]

The woodchuck is honored with a tongue twister so it all works out.

[@mattp6089]

Groundhogs are also known as Woodchucks. I get them in my backyard sometimes in the summer.

[@glennwisniewski9536]

For those who don't know, a groundhog is also called a woodchuck, famous for the rhyme, "how much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" And, in the film (on the radio), you hear, "That's right, woodchuck chuckers. It's Groundhog Day!" Get it? Also, The Song is "I've Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher. It spent three weeks at number one in August of 1965. Sonny Bono later became a U.S. congressman and Cher became superstar Cher (singing, acting and everything else in-between). See kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3vbeqprbdGefrM - the official video for the song. And, what the heck, here's the original Geico woodchuck commercial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXnJk3-imK-Aq6M

You know it is an iconic film, when the title of the movie becomes a common saying in the English language about repeating something. No many films have that much of an influence on culture. Other movies inspired this one were Live Die Repeat the Tom Cruise movie and Palm Springs a comedy that pretty funny too.

[@billparrish4385]

That's very true. Always before, if someone would say "Groundhog Day" it was just a reference to the old story about whether it would see its shadow and get scared back into its hole, resulting in 6 more weeks of winter weather. Only after this movie came out did it mean doing the same thing over and over.

[@piotrswat169]

Butterfly effect

[@TimStCroix]

I can find only one flaw in this movie, the waitress asking for quarters. Back then small restaurant waitresses received so many quarters in tips that they would never need more. Since so many actors work as wait staff while starting out I find it hard to believe they didn't know about it while filming the scene so I'm pretty sure it was on purpose as an absurdist joke.

[@SlashGriever]

Then its not a flaw but an obvious joke.

[@wwoods66]

One flaw: On the last day, 42:00 the piano teacher wouldn't have been "so proud" of her student. If Phil even went to her that day, he couldn't have improved noticeably in a single lesson.

[@TimStCroix]

@@wwoods66 I used to use that one too for "two flaws" but someone replied that Phil could have told her that she taught him years ago but doesn't remember him and he wants another lesson for old times sake. That was such a clever fanwank that I accepted it as valid.

[@maverickmac1797]

The animal in the movie is a species of Marmot and commonly called Groundhog (Marmota Monax), Woodchuck and Whistle Pig. The movie is titled so because, in America, a tradition of having a Groundhog predicting the remainder of winter is a fun notion. If the Groundhog comes out of his little ground den and sees his shadow, it scares him and he runs back into his den for safety. True nature of the Groundhog, for they're easily frightened and take cover at a hint of danger. I think they're an animal of North America only; U.S. and Canada specifically. Rocks, or "on the rocks" is just a term for (adding) 'ice,' and is often said when ordering (alcoholic) drinks. Flap Jacks are just another term for pancakes. I hope you know what pancakes are.

[@woodysthoughts4032]

Explaining Groundhog is neat, but adding ice - not so neat.

[@sasamichan]

The groundhog also known as a woodchuck, is a rodent of the family it is found through much of the Eastern United States, across Canada and into Alaska. is a popular North American tradition observed in the United States and Canada on February 2. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den, and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

They never explain how or why he kept repeating Groundhog Day, but since it stopped repeating once he learned to love someone other than himself we can guess that it was "fate" teaching him a lesson. By the way, the guy that plays the doctor in this, the one who examines Phil early on for head trauma, is Harold Ramis the director of the movie. He was also Bill Murray's costar in the original Ghostbusters movies. RIP Harold Ramis.

[@TheKyfe]

There's a deleted scene where his ex-girlfriend cursed him. It didn't really go with the rest of the movie, though, so they cut it.

"Why is it happening?" It is simply a metaphor for what life is like for people who live only for themselves. Every day is pretty much like the last...only living for others will bring a richness and variety to life that makes it worth living. It took Phil, apparently, many thousands of days to learn that basic lesson. Some never learn it. Even after Phil began to care for others, he still thought he was in control (playing "God" by trying to save the old man who's time was up). He had to give up that illusion before time he could escape the time loop. Wonderful film! Nice reaction, girls!

[@Laketwig]

In the U.S., if the groundhog comes out of his hole and see's his shadow, he will run back inside and there will be more winter. If he comes out and does not see his shadow, then winter is over and Spring is on the way. Basically, you want it to be a gloomy overcast day with no sun, so the groundhog does not see his shadow.

This movie makes me feel a little weird. It's how I feel about getting older. When I was young, I used to think adults were smarter and wiser than me. As I got older, I realized that I didn't really feel any smarter or wiser. I have just seen so much in my life that in any situation, I can usually compare it to something I've done before and maybe try not making the same mistake again. It's sad when you find yourself making the same mistakes over or never making the right decision. Maybe learning to do it right is wisdom. I know that living with doing it wrong and never getting the chance to correct it is regret. I suppose we are all living in our own personal Groundhog Day.

It's been estimated that Phil repeated that day for almost 34 years. It's no surprise that he lost his mind for awhile. Also it takes years to master many skills like the piano. Study and memorize french poetry, Ice sculpture and more. Just look at how perfect the ice sculpture of Rita's face was. That is years of study and practice. Just to impress her. He went out of his way over the years to learn personal things about many people in town.

[@jeffinspace7668]

They estimated Phil spent about 12,000 plus days or roughly 34 years stuck in a time loop to become a master pianist, ice sculptor, and learn about everyone in town etc. And the homeless man was just destined to die that night over and over again, not even Phil could change that.

[@_viper2c_562]

The old man dying repeatedly, and Phil having no power to stop it was a turning point for him. He continued to help him have a great day that day I'm sure, still knowing he would die, but it didn't matter. His outlook changed to something different after that, he gained a new resolve

The screenwriter said that Phil did groundhog Day 12,394 times so that is around 34 years

My family and I loved this movie so much we moved to Woodstock Illinois where this movie was filmed.

What a perfect movie to share on February 2nd! I always loved this movie. If you want to see another good Bill Murray movie, check out "Scrooged". He plays a similar character who goes through a similar fate. While I think this movie is a lot better, Scrooged is still a classic. Enjoy!

A very underrated Bill Murray movie was “What about Bob?”

Where has Ellie been ? Always so nice to hear your voice.

@8:03 Hey everybody, it’s the chef from Down Periscope and Santa in Home Alone and what’shisname in Herman’s Head.

Phil is not related to that homeless old man. I think he calls him "Pops" which is a term of endearment for an older man, which does not necessarily have to be related to you. It's like calling a friend or someone "brother" or "sister" even if they are not related to you. The hospital did not kill the old man! The nurse says "Sometimes people just die", meaning that sometimes there is no specific cause but the person just dies. That is basically what "natural causes" means. It was just his time. The homeless man in this movie is just used to kind of show a new phase in Phil's life where he actually is becoming a good person who cares about other people (and also to show that some things really are outside of our control).

Plus, it settles the question of whether he's really God, unknowingly: Nope.

22:43 These "rocks" are simply large pieces of ice in a drink chipped from a large lump of ice. they are often used instead of regular ice cubes

Long time subscriber here: This has become one of my favorite movies of all time. I must commend you on this edit. Such a rewarding and enjoyable experience this reaction was. Excellent job on the editing, and the cut choices. I feel it was an excellent representation of the story and its’ best moments captured in a small amount of time.

Both Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell have gone on to have very fruitful careers in film and television. A favorite winter movie here in America!

[@mcbeezee2120]

He was in that loop for at least as long as it took to learn the piano and speak French at those levels. I think there was a behind-the-scenes "special" on this that explained how long the original story writer said his character was stuck.

[@keithhealing1115]

According to Harold Ramis, the director, Phil spent 10 years reliving the same day over and over again.

[@alanhigh8125]

Well, unfortunately, Andie MacDowell didn't like Bill Murray at all during the making of this movie, and still doesn't like him to this day. They're both such professionals that they didn't allow their mutual disdain to adversely affect their performance.

Funniest comment from a reaction video I have ever heard. The girls could not remember the name of the animal in the movie at 29:13. It is in the title - GROUNDHOG day. Funny, funny, funny!

[@alexn1777]

Yes, the animal is a groundhog. No, groundhogs are not in Bulgaria. They are only in the United States and Canada.

[@3DJapan]

There used to be a groundhog that lived in my back yard. Really under my neighbor's shed, but pretty much my yard.

[@chandie5298]

the film is a comedy but the undertones are serious. This is a film about his judgement and redemption.... similar to "A Christmas Carol" (Scrooge) I watch this film every year.... its a favorite

[@ReallyGoodName3000]

Europe (Russia) has marmots, but groundhogs are a subspecies of marmot native to north america. They have a ridiculous number of alternate names. From wikipedia: "chuck, wood-shock, groundpig, whistlepig, whistler, thickwood badger, Canada marmot, monax, moonack, weenusk, red monk, land beaver, and, among French Canadians in eastern Canada, siffleux."
