Well Doris just thinks he’s crazy and really only reacts to him saying the word Paris. The others react in a somewhat confused manner to what Phil is saying.

[@ladymecha8718]

I recall that in an interview with the director they asked how long was he stuck in perpetual ground hog day… The director figured about 29.5 years for Bill’s character to get as skilled and knowledgeable as he did in the end. But don’t quote me on this, it’s been a while to of me remembering this esoteric fact.

[@saltysergeant4284]

I believe it was 3000 years. In the directors commentary or the book it mentions it. That's why he knew EVERYONE and everything, down to the SECOND. He mastered many many skills. It takes more than 30 years to learn all that and memorize every single thing everyone will say, even if it's you that's talking to them and saying random things.

[@sethlinnell2514]

Not really if you are reliving the same day for 30 years you can learn new skills, know everyone in a small town, you would even know the weather changes minute by minute. Remember that is all he doing apart from doing the groundhog broadcast, which he might not bother showing up for. But its only a movie so it is an interesting philosophical idea so no one really knows how long.

[@saltysergeant4284]

@@sethlinnell2514 yes, we do. The creator of the entire thing said 3000 years. Some here are saying 10,000 years, but i know a minimum of 3000. It says so in a special commentary or the actual book. It's ALOT longer than 30 years.

[@sethlinnell2514]

Okay but my point is no one has ever relived the same day so you can't know how long it would take someone to learn everything about a small town. Like a someone with a genius level IQ it may only take them 30 years to learn everything etc. someone else it would take longer, also I think the creator meant 10,000 days not years.

The saddest thing is that because he was stuck in this loop for a LONG time, the rest of his life will come and go really fast.

[@peoplez129]

I think he would likely be mentally crippled for the rest of his life. At first, not knowing what will happen might be freeing, but then he actually has to worry about stuff. It would result in a mental breakdown as things are no longer predictable. And you'd have to wake up every day wondering if the day will repeat again. And on bad days he wishes he could repeat, it would be all the more depressing. He would be torn between wanting new things and wanting days to repeat again.

[@kreek22]

It might move fast, but it would occur in a new moral and theological context, one that would probably alleviate his anxiety of purpose and of destiny. He is most godlike in his knowledge that the material realm may be transcended and his suspicion that he has some agency in such transcendence.

[@LordSesshaku]

@@peoplez129 I am of the opinion that, the longer you live, the less of a fuck you give. So, in this story, we're talking about a man that was so bored of his futureless existence that he actually tried to kill himself. I don't think he would be that traumatized by his future. Specially being the only human with actual proof that there are unknown forces in the Universe and death is not always permanent.

I like to think that the writer sat down and began to think, "now what kind of story could you write about Groundhog Day?" and came up with a masterpiece.

[@StormForthcoming]

It’s almost impossible to not associate time looping with Groundhog Day now

[@joeschembrie9450]

With any great writing, the writer has to go over and over and revise what he's written to gradually improve it. As one famous writer put it, "The first draft is always shit." Groundhog Day is like a man living the revision process for a single day, until he finally improves the day enough to submit the final draft.

[@criztu]

@@joeschembrie9450 the movie is basically the Gnostic doctrine that the Demiurge imprisoned us, the angels, in an eternal cycle of aeons and in flesh, because he's basically gone mad and programmed a buggy videogame. see also Ready Player One by Spielberg, another occult mofo.

[@Reoh0z]

I like to think the writer sat down and finished the story in one very long day.

[@melissagiroux1631]

There’s a book called “How to Write Groundhog Day” where the original screenwriter explains where the idea came from and even shows his original script. The idea for the repeating day came before he chose Groundhog Day, and he wrote the script in four days, with a lot of prep work before and revisions after. The original script is very different from the movie. When it starts, Phil has already been repeating Groundhog Day for some time. They changed it so the audience could see his reaction the first time it looped, but I think the most important effect of the change was that we know how much of a jerk Phil was even before the loop started. In the original script you just see him being a jerk and justifying his behavior because of the time loop and lack of permanent consequences for anybody, but in movie, it’s clear that he was already a jerk, and the time loop just allowed him to express that more. The other big differences between the original script and the movie were that the script was full of voice over narration from Phil explaining why he did what he did, and his relationship with Rita wasn’t as central to the plot. It wasn’t a traditional romantic comedy, but the movie turned into one.

"You can research the fulfillment of all the Bible prophecies, especially Babylon's destruction, to see for yourself." Do you mean the annihilation of Tyre?

[@captaincarl1]

As a moral parable, this was one of the finest films ever created. All our lives are on repeat to some extent. And to some people, they struggle with that. They have the low point, like he does in the film. And then they try to escape the monotony by being more integrated in their communities, by helping, by learning and growing. But it's not just about being perfect, he tries that. It's about matching that with being genuine and selflessness. It's only then that he escapes. But it's only then that he wouldn't want it to end.

[@CC-bm3wb]

Beautifully said

[@vullord666]

I’d also add the escapism. When people first realize life is meaningless they fall into base pleasures that give temporary satisfaction but ultimately don’t make them happy. Then they’re led into desperate until they accept that being happy is more than just indulgence. Its a really powerful movie from start to finish.

[@wawawuu1514]

I think to qualify as some of the finest moral parables in film form, something shouldn't include abusive behaviour towards women, like pushing them around, but maybe that's just me. Also, telling somebody you're romantically interested in them after you just demonstrated good reason to believe your claim of godhood is...uhm...not romantic.

“Maybe the real god uses tricks, maybe he isn’t omnipotent, he’s just been around so long he knows everything.” It’s an oddly profound line for something so throwaway.

[@RobinClaassen]

How is that profound? It's not obvious to me how that's applicable to anything in the real world. Even for people who believe in gods, let's say that way those gods manifested their powers in their respective myths was them just knowing what was going to happen and then pretending to cause those things. That leaves you back at square one where you still need to explain what actually caused those things, except that you now have these random all-knowing but otherwise not powerful beings that you need to somehow fit into whatever new explanation you arrive at. It seems to me that it's just adding unnecessarily requirements to create a model for understanding the cosmos.

[@ChuckyMarks]

@@RobinClaassen I think you’re missing the point. The quote has less to do with god then human nature. If you stick around long enough, see enough of how people act and think, you can pretty much know how everybody acts and thinks since we’re not all that different from one another.

This is my all-time favorite movie. I have watched it well over a hundred times and never tire of it. I could watch it a hundred more times and still not be tired of it. It is actually a metaphor of virtually every person's life because we ALL go through trying to do things our way and act arrogant and think that we are masters of our own fate. But that always turns out not to be true. Humbling ourselves after experiencing the inevitable hard knocks of life makes us know what is REALLY important. Kindness, humility, generosity, giving of ourselves, loving one another as we want to be loved, and always striving to be better than we were the day before. The screenwriter for this movie is purely a genius.

[@zenmacrobiotics4843]

More accurately said, we are all "specks" of God .. Religion: From The Latin Word "Religare," Meaning: to tie back; to hold back; to bind fast. Binding. "All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few" ~ Seneca "Religion is regarded as true by the common people, by the WISE as false, and by the Rulers as useful." ~ Seneca “I am against religion because it teaches us to be satisfied with not understanding the world.” ~ Seneca Currently there are right around 4200 different religions and/or spiritual philosophical understandings on planet earth, 12 of which are considered major world religions. IMO none of them need to be exclusively memorized or vehemently embraced. When taking Yin & Yang opposite energies into account one only needs to mildly recognize how it is that ancient eastern religions that include reincarnation best coincides with yin and yang opposite philosophy. Realizing that one can measure God's existence. Earth is a polarized finite material planet within a finite material universe within a INFINITE material and spiritual universe. Earth's entire environment consists of a micro to macro spectrum of extreme to subtle opposites. Examples of Yin and Yang Dualism: Attribute- centrifugal-centripetal-force, Tendency- expansion-contraction, Position- outward-inward, Direction- ascent-descent, Temperature- hot-cold, Weigh- light-heavy, Atomic- electron-proton, Biological- vegetable-animal, Sex- male-female, Structure- space-time, Factor- water-fire, Movement- passive-active, Function- diffusion-fusion, Vibration- shorter wave and higher frequency-longer wave and lower frequency, etc, etc. The opposite of finite is Infinite. All things finite (matter) begin and eventually end (change being the only constant). Infinity has no beginning or ending and for that reason Infinity is God. Since the finite material realm is within Infinity All is specks/fragments/part and parcel of God. *"ALL within the ALL is ALL we ALL are ... Peace"..* Breakdown: *ALL* (finite beginning-ending/changing matter) *within the ALL* (Infinite Beginningless-Endingless/Non-Changing Spirit) *is ALL we ALL are,* therefore you and I are smaller consciousness finite fragments/specks/part and parcel of god, but we are NOT the Infinite Spiritual Realms Super Consciousness Summit/Peak that is Godhead while we exist as finite realm material beings ... *Peace* .. Now do you realize that you, I, we, are all specks of god. I CANNOT prove it from me to you, HOWEVER you can prove it to yourself if YOU have the discipline to do so. That's the way the grand "Order of the Infinite Universe" design is set up in arrangement for the *"Imperfect to become Perfect."* Humans are both material and spiritual beings. More-so with spiritual resonance if ones pineal gland is clean as in *Leviticus 15: "Cleanliness is Next to Godliness"..* THEREFORE clean away the sleepy eye crust from your third eye ajna chakra ... then learn to abandon the ego before you pine away ... Crucify the ego before its far too late .. Prying open the 3rd eye .. Humanity lives... "fearfully"... "submerged"... within finite matter mostly unable to comprehend Infinity/God... Therefore "We All Live In A ... "Yellow"... "Submarine" .. *..."Fearful/Yellow"..."Submerged/Submarine"..."Infinity/God"..* Bhagavad-Gita - Book of India, Siddhartha Gautama,The Buddha - taught primarily in northeastern India, Jesus In India (& Tibet etc.) - The 18 Missing Years, George Ohsawa - Macrobiotic Yin Yang Philosophy Post Atom-Bomb(s) Bombardment 1945, visits India 1953-1955, The Beatles In India circa 1968 - Yellow Submarine released November 13, 1968. *KZbin: Amazing documentary The Missing History of Jesus (Fatima Alaina)* *"A Complete Macrobiotic Yin Yang Philosophic Understanding Combined With Its Practical Dietary Discipline Is Timeless Universal Law.

@@kfgrip It's wrong to say it didn't do well at the box office. It made back 5 times its budget, and that's before video rentals, which was a huge industry at the time. Most films lose money, and any investment that more than quintuples your investment is a good one! And anyway, how well a movie is "rated" just isn't to do with box office. The Shawshank Redemption, Citizen Kane etc are widely rated as some of the best movies ever made and had underwhelming box office. Their reputation grew over the years. It's like saying that Van Gogh is underrated as a painter because he only sold one painting when he was alive.

The music cues for this movie were so perfect. Like that flue or piccolo music that starts when Phil starts really telling Rita about herself. To me, it just really captures his sincerity in his moment of desperation, his feelings for her, and her finally starting to actually believe he's not just using tricks. It really helps move the mood from comical to solemn so effectively, without being overly blunt or overpowering the scene. The movie has many of these moments where the music is just perfect.

Fun Fact: Bill Murray resented Harold Ramis so much by the end of the filming of Groundhog Day, that the only way he would allow communication between them was through an interpreter. The Interpreter was def and only communicated through sign language. But Harold was also used to this behavior from Bill. So he actually made sure to film the scenes of this movie in Reverse. The ending was filmed first and they filmed the first half last. Harold knew that Bill would be so fed up with filming that he'd already be the jerk shown at the beginning of the film.

Great movie with no oscars or golden globes... :(

who cares about those things, we all know its a amazing movie! thats all that really matters.

[@emperorreign6154]

Alex Stephens Indeed. The whole thing is a fixed farce anyway.

[@laffeydude3558]

I agree with Alex Stephens. You know? There are plenty of amazing movies that didn't win any oscars or golden globes like Stand By Me and The Sixth Sense.

Groundhog Day 1993 is AWESOME! In retrospect all kinds of movie "experts" have proclaimed this movie legendary.

[@skyeangelofdeath7363]

Those awards are based largely on ideology & an elitist conception of what is ""art"".

[@timjohnson1199]

What a great premise for a movie and sooo well done. I see it every Groundhog Day and don't get tired of it. The ending is so satisfying.

This is the ultimate portrait of feeling isolated. Not alone. Not solitary. Isolated. Isolated in a way most people should never know. Being completely different and separated, yet having people around you................................

Yep, whenever my girlfriend tells me to put down the bag of doritos, I just tell her I'm a god.

When someone asks you if you’re a god, you say yes.

He's got a much better memory than me. After I'd spent a day with each person in the cafe getting to know them spanning what must've been months, I'd have forgotten even the names of the first half I met.

[@Ian-ky6di]

I visited the location of this scene in 2017. It was a Mexican restaurant (maybe still is) but my friend and I made a point of sitting exactly where they are in the opening scene here. It was kind of cool. Woodstock Illinois just outside Chicago.

[@nickmartin8495]

Bill Murray deserved an Oscar, if only for this scene.

God I love this movie. He’s not a god, he’s a man that has more character development, than any other I can think of in any given movie. Such a beautiful and hilarious tale!

[@cdbtheclaw]

One of my favourite scenes of all times. Bill Murrays acting is on point here and it was written so well.

[@psifla99]

2:20-3:04. That monologue is the true turning point for both the film and Bill Murray’s career. As he expresses power and powerlessness to Andie MacDowell in an especially poignant manner, the tone of the film crosses the bridge from the generally humorous to the truly humane. It’s no longer just a high concept comedy - it is a masterpiece. And the foundations for Murray’s later career renaissance in the hands of Anderson, Coppola and Jarmusch have been laid. The moment the first note of George Fenton’s exceptional score is heard here, the tears begin to fall from my eyes uncontrollably. It’s perfect.

[@jamescooper3571]

Great points and well spoken.

[@curtisrodriguez938]

For me "The Razor's Edge" was the first time I realized that Murray could be amazing in a dramatic role, not just a lounge lizard singer on Saturday Night Live.

[@feldon27]

If you get really bored, Steven Tobolowsky (he played Ned Ryerson, the insurance guy) did a podcast talking about this movie and he said that originally it was going to be just another big dumb Bill Murray comedy and then they started filming and tried something different. Instead of using a chainsaw to tear up the hotel room to prove the loop, Phil just broke a pencil. When this worked, they started feverishly rewriting the whole movie as they were filming it to be what it ended up being -- a touching parable and just a really powerful movie. It ended up being timeless and maybe opened the window for the other movies you mention.

[@psifla99]

@@feldon27 Thanks for that. As an aside - Tobolowsky is phenomenal. A distinctive character actor who here took a potentially one-note, loud mouthed character and made him both hilarious and iconic. I don’t suppose it’s a coincidence that he acts like he’s in a cartoon, with Ned mirroring the aspects of the loop Phil most wants to escape. It’s when Phil comes to terms with Ned, signing him up as his “new insurance agent”, that both are happy and the loop is broken.

[@finlandguy427]

Imagine you come across a person who knows about you even thought you never met him/her before but he has met you on the same day, several times.

[@Tkieron]

For those wondering: According to the director and producers they estimate it was about 30 years he was stuck in the loop. In the original draft of the script it was 10,000 years. It takes about 5000 hours to master a skill. So if he spent 8 hours a day practicing a skill it would still take him 625 days, or almost 2 full years of practicing the same skill for 8 hours a day. Even if he spent each day practicing 2 skills it would still take decades to be a master woodworker, ice sculptor, and all the other things. So imagine spending between 30 and 10,000 years in the same town on the same day.

[@axebomber2108]

He should have been absolutely bonkers after 10,000 years of this.

[@chiefdanny5058]

They had a planned scene that never made it into film iirc, where he would read a single page in a library every day, and it would eventually cut back later of him having finished every book. Just imagine what it looks like from the outside from a news reporter to a master of the arts in everything overnight though.

​@@axebomber210810 000 years of a normal life that isnt repeating each day would be mental asylum inducing.

[@dawood121derful]

Andie McDowell's reaction at the end of that scene was a beautiful piece of acting. You know you started off as a young model and I never thought she would amount to anything as an actor but over the years she actually grew to be very adept at it., congrats Andie.
