@@holddowna I went on a bit of a road trip with friends on the northwest side of Chicago and we wound up in a little town, I knew I'd seen it before. I told my friends this is where they shot Groundhog Day. They all told me I was crazy; we were in the square and walking past the dinner, and there was a picture the Bill Murry on the wall... it was the town the movie was shot in. It was kind of special, I love this movie, and actually being there made it much closer to my heart. A story about change and redemption, selfishness and the chance to become a better person, loss and finding yourself again.

Which...I can KIND of sympathize with, I know that actors DO go through a lot and often have very long days, but given the fame and compensation, it seems like it more than balances out. Plus you have actors who are by all accounts just fantastic, down-to-earth people like Robin Williams or Keanu Reeves and it really takes away the excuses.

This was actually filmed almost entirely in Woodstock Illinois about 60 miles outside of Chicago. Only the first five minutes were in Pennsylvania. We actually moved to Woodstock from Chicago in the last month of shooting of the film. The sets were still up on the square and they were still using fake snow to get some of the last shots as it was moving into the spring. Lived there for the next 25 years, great town. They loved Bill Murray, he made a point of going to every shop on the square and buying something. Andie MacDowell could be seen most mornings just jogging around the streets. Every time I watch this film it's odd because I spent so much time there it feels like I'm driving in my car again for some of the street scenes.

Director Harold Ramis estimated that Phil was stuck in the loop somewhere between 10-40 years. The original script had it for 10,000 years, but was revised. Harold's estimation is based upon the presumption that it takes 10 years to become good at anything, and then you have to account for the years that he wasted away for various reasons. So, the final estimate that Harold shared before his death was between 30-40 years (10,950 - 14,600 days). No one has ever said with certainty as to what actually breaks the endless loop, but a good hypothesis (that I like) is when Rita buys Phil at the auction, it breaks the loop because now she owns him and thus he can't be taken away from her. Regardless, it's a fun and very rewatchable movie. Another takeoff of this storyline is Happy Death Day. Jessica Rothe & Israel Broussard do an excellent job with their characters.

I like to just enjoy whatever movie I'm watching and not dwell on whether or not who I'm seeing is still alive or not. Heath Ledger for example is just a superb actor. It's sad to hear about such a talented guy dying particularly after his Joker portrayal, and it's sad to think about Chris Farley and all the amazing comedic roles he could have done. But would they want us to focus on the fact that they're dead, or would they rather we appreciate their work. RIP Shakespeare btw, just heard the news a couple weeks ago.

@@andreshernandez1180I blame Nietzsche, or whoever read too much Nietsche before creating or sharing the idea for the script. Nietsche’s thought experiment on “eternal return” is laid out clearly in his book, Ecco Homo: How One Becomes What One Is: What if some day or night a demon were to steal into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: “This life as you now live and have lived it you will have to live once again and innumerable times again; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unspeakably small or great in your life must return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself…” Phil gets this chance to see his life and the consequences of his choices culminating on February 1 through not only his own eyes, but the hypothetical demon’s, Rita’s, Nancy’s and on and on. With this information and new perception, he can create a life that he can accept. Most importantly, one where he can’t say, “I don’t even like myself that much,” and can’t say to Rita that he doesn’t deserve her.

It simply was about a superstition regarding a groundhog predicting the length of the winter.

The Director originally stated that he had been trapped for over 10 years, but in 2009 he admitted the estimate was far too short. He said: "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." He became an expert in French poetry, ice sculpting and the piano, along with picking up all sorts of other skills (medicine, card throwing, etc).

Awesome reaction. There are various speculations on how long he's stuck. But it's almost certainly decades, given how long it takes to become proficient at the various skills Phil demonstrates. It is and intense and deeply moving piece of film, courtesy of the directing (and writing) genius of Harold Ramis (and the writing of Danny Rubin, who wrote the first version of the script) and the acting talents of Bill Murray. It's the sort of movie you can watch repeatedly and never really tire of it, which speaks volumes considering that the film is a repetition of the same day.

This movie has special meaning for me because I was born on Groundhog Day. Not only that but I lived for two years in Woodstock, Illinois, where this movie was actually shot. Gobblers Knob was actually the Woodstock town square. The Pennsylvanian Hotel was the Woodstock Opera House. The bed and breakfast where Bill Murray’s character was staying is an actual B&B in Woodstock. The place where Phil Connors drove to his death was a gravel quarry between Woodstock and McHenry, Illinois. Every Groundhog Day since the movie’s release the City of Woodstock celebrates by placing signs to mark each spot in the town square where significant scenes were actually shot. The Woodstock Theater plays free showings of “Groundhog Day” all day. It was a great place to call home.

And if you want a more definitive answer, a blog took the time to calculate everything he learned and did, and they came up with a figure of just under 34 years.

I used to live near Woodstock IL where they filmed the square scenes. I was able to walk through the park after filming wrapped. They still had all the fake snow the groundhog hole still set up. The building that is used as the hotel where Rita stays at and where Phil jumps off to try to kill himself is the Woodstock Opera House.

I live in a house that can be seen when Phil looks out his window and year round it's common to see people posing for pictures in front of the B&B. I was heartened today (Feb. 3) to see what must have been 100+ people on a walking tour.

"That sums it up for me." The look on his face, that one hurt. People calculated how long he was in by the different things he learned to do and estimated to be around 12-34 years. Director Harold Ramis original idea was Phil was stuck in the time loop for about 10,000 years, before settling on 10 years.

Favorite fan theory: Ned Ryerson is the devil, torturing Phil with repeating days. Not to make him a better person, not to teach him to love Rita, but get him to buy insurance. We never see him buy insurance from Ned until the last day. Phil takes his own life out of despair multiple times. Yet the solution to end his suffering is fiendishly trivial.

I must have watched this film at least 40 times. I don't know the "official explanation" for him being trapped in time, but what I imagine is that Phil unintentionally irritated some entity by imitating the groundhog and being pretentious towards everyone. Another possibility that I imagine is that he, also unintentionally, cast a type of spell imitating the groundhog as it left the door.

I loved her reaction. She was very observant and surprisingly good at predicting the plotline. It’s always a treat to see someone watch this classic for the first time. There is always discussion about how long Phil was stuck in the temporal loop, but we’ll never know, because we don’t know how long it took for him to exhaust his curiosity and hedonism before he entered his fatalist stage. It’s at that point people start adding 10K hours of training time per skill. The movie showed quite a few skills but that doesn’t mean the movie covered all of them. But, take piano for instance. I’ll assume his instructor took the formal approach with a mix of sight-reading sheet music, technique drills, and scales drills, playing simple songs with hand coordination, notes, block chords, split chords, music theory with chord progressions, and voicing through cord inversions. Then add more time to create a strong foundation that you can then perform improvisation on stage. It definitely would have taken well over six to eight years of dedicated study to get there. The levels of skill go something like this: Beginner, elementary, intermediate, and advanced, each of which have subcategories of early-level, mid-level, and late-level. Just graduating from beginner to elementary level with basic skills takes a year or longer, depending on the student and instructor. And it just gets harder after that.

After watching this film over 25 times, I think I’ve figured it out. It’s like when Homer couldn’t have sold his soul to Satan-Flanders (for a donut) because Homers soul belonged to Marge in their vows. My guess is this explanation is given with Rita’s first words on Feb 3, “I own you.” From the moment Rita buys Phil at the Groundhog Day action, he’s free from the spell.

I think it was his statement of "I'm happy now" is what did it. He finally stopped trying to escape. At first he wasn't happy and didn't like himself or others. Then he began helping others to be happy. Then eventually he found true happiness in that pursuit.

Maybe. Depends on the person. For instance, you could spend a decade just spending each day meeting one new person in the town, talking to them, learning about them, etc. Then if you had hobbies, like piano, reading, ice sculpting, etc. That could also take a lot of time. Not to mention a fair amount of debauchery if you chose.
