How Many Days Does Bill Murray Spend Stuck In Groundhog Day?

[@steveosk8s]

Fun fact: in the original script, he spent 10,000 years in the loop, and knew the day so well, he had a basic level of omnipotence.

[@emperorreign6154]

He learns a whole new language, learns to flawlessly play piano and master ice sculpting during the loop. He was easily there AT LEAST 50 years. It takes someone at least 10 years to master just one thing, so it doesn’t exactly take a rocket scientist to work out he’s stuck in the loop for an obscene number of decades.

[@FirstLast-Area52]

10k yrs

[@Thundarr100]

Phil wouldn't have to worry about developing carpal tunnel syndrome from extensive piano practice. Any physical damage his body suffers would be undone by the following time loop. So he could actually spend four or more hours per day practicing the piano. Or any new skill fr that matter.

[@oct28th1985]

I came here to say this

[@zazzrazzamatazz9970]

I wonder if his muscle memory gets reset too? I'd think that would make it harder to learn a new skill. Impossible to learn some skills well I'd imagine.

[@Thundarr100]

Zazz Razzamatazz I think that muscle memory is less important than actual memory. It also wouldn’t take long to make your body catch up with your mind. But I’m not an expert.

Then they got you babe

[@aswallace88]

Carpal tunnel isn't an issue when you're stuck in literally the same 24 hour span repeatedly as each day resets your body back to it's original condition that you started the loop in. Thus, he could study and play piano for 40 years, playing 2 to 3 hours a day, and it wouldn't affect him in the next loop. Additionally, when it comes to the Chiropractor bit, what's to say that he didn't just play around and get lucky when cracking the guy's back? He may not have studied at all and just found through trial and error how to not paralyze Felix.

[@legendgames128]

If carpal tunnel was an issue, then so would suicide be an issue. And Phil committed suicide a lot.

[@TheNewsDepot]

He had to be in there long enough to, not only learn about everyone in the town, but long enough to commit all that information to memory. Likewise it had to be long enough for him to become so utterly bored with his immortality that he tried to kill himself in a variety of ways. He also had to have his conversation with Rita so many times that he has every step of the conversation down pat. On top of all that, he had to spend enough time developing and maintaining his skills. Conservatively I would say that he was in that day loop for hundreds of years.

[@daresaryan8229]

I agree. Plus, it's like he became a whole new person from the core level. That would take so much freakin time 😅

[@smada36]

4:37 Sure, pick holes in the maths, but a Rolls-Royce? Looks like a Merc to me 😂

[@RachelDavis705]

[@bonneville1285]

He can do more than one thing in a day - Sure but he'd also be losing time every day because of being in the time loop. Having to go through the same introductory conversation to get a piano lesson, ditch work, convince someone to let him carve an iceblock with their chainsaw. He'd learn lots of ways around it but it would still be having an effect on how much time he can spend on what he wants to do.

[@marcoantoniogonzalez6517]

I don´t think he required to learn the WHOLE stuff about carving ice or playing the piano. All he needed was to do one or two things extremely good. It is easier to play one song than to do a whole repertoire. Besides he was repeating every day so it was more like a trial and error to get things done instead of learning the whole skill.

[@MrDarthT]

You mentioned carpal tunnel. That wouldn't be an issue, as Phil is physically reset after each day, meaning he could learn piano every day. Of course, this also raises the question of muscle memory. Could you learn a physical skill like piano without the ability to build muscle memory.

[@mythicpeyote]

WhosWho Productions well damn

[@jinxykatt]

According to the altered carbon world yes. But as a former croupier Ill tell you there is more to muscle memory than just the brain. Cutting and playing with chips takes quite a toll on you hands and when I try to do it now my hands hurt a lot where when I was doing it a lot, they didn't. Piano playing takes insane finger strength.

[@DUANEYAISER]

“Muscle memory” is really a misnomer for building the automatic response at a mental level, though of course that involves training the nervous system. I’d argue that he carries that portion of his being across each day. The mind/body separation needs be drawn somewhere in this story, since the “mind” still has roots in physical being. Aside from piano, many of his other skills/experiences require the same development in order to be justifiable within the rules of that universe. I definitely agree with you that he wouldn’t sustain any overuse injuries, and could practice for 12 hours a day if he likes without any physical ramifications. As a pianist, I also contend that with cognizance of proper playing technique, risk for overuse injuries for extended sessions are at a minimum.

I would just like to point out that the town which stood in for Punxsutawney was Woodstock, Illinois and the Jeep commercial filmed back in the same square. There is a plaque on the corner where Ned Ryerson (Stephen Toblowsky) meets with Phil (Bill Muray)

[@soppybottomboys1195]

He was Supposed to be In the time loop for 10,000 years in the Script. There is a scene they cut from the movie of him opening the 1st book In the library and then a second later closing the last book in the library.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Groundhog's day is one of those movies that is really good unless you start to dig way too deep into the actual concept or over analyze things. Then it starts looking like a guy stuck in his own perpetual hell. And you start having a harder time enjoying it as a "comedy".

[@TomCee53]

As a mathematician, I'm aware that none of his days are 24 hours, so the count of hours would be a lot less than 24 times the number of days.

[@SpeedandSplendor]

Something you don't seem to have factored in because of the carpal tunnel comment... Phil doesn't need to sleep. He can go none stop because we have seen him stay up through to the flip.. also, Phil can be doing more than one thing in a day. So he could learn poetry in the same day that he is learning piano and all the rest. 8 years could hold up but it seems to have taken him a long time to get to the point where he was focused on learning.

So ironic how while watching this video about Groundhog Day I get hit with the Groundhog Day Jeep ad from the Super Bowl lol

[@mannygee005]

ooh, may I watch this video over and over again? I have a revelation ... and that is this repeating of days is analogous to aging ... waking up day by day going to work over and over again, slowly over time learning what is less important than other things ... and over time the ego finally letting it go giving up the tight grip on the machinations of mice and men ... and thus over sheer experience through countless repetition gains a semblance of wisdom.

[@mannygee005]

hmm I have another comment realizing something else. The first time I saw the movie I thought it was a waste to actually move and live in Punxsutawney . . . but now with this revelation of how many days he actually invested in the town repeating the same day over and over again but learning almost everything about the town and its people then now it makes sense that he wouldn't want to be anywhere else. He has invested so much time and have come to accept the minutia of everyday life that he would want to see how it turns out, to see what happens to the town and its residents, yes it had become his home his demesne ... and his hearth of hearts.

[@hollyhartwick3832]

I don’t think things like frostbite and carpal tunnel syndrome would be a risk worth considering. It seems the only thing that doesn’t reset is his memories. After all, he doesn’t age or stay dead.

[@ragejoona431]

You could propably multiply that by 5-10 easily. We see that Phil gives up and tries again next time if something goes wrong. So propably every time that he does something is preceded by dozens of failed attempts. Also especially at the beginning he didn't seem to use every day productively, so there are propably a year worth of extra days where he was just hanging out.

[@roberthofmann8403]

I always thought in the movie it was one year. In the book, I believe it is thousands of years.

[@ZoniacMan]

You think he could learn different things the same day? 4 hours of piano followed by some french or icesculpting? Also, the first few months I would assume he tries to escape the loop and/or the town.

[@111Phoenix777]

Impressive work. You should have done the calculations in hours. When you say "days" it's not clear whether that's an 8-hour day, a 16-hour work/wake day, or a 24-hour day. I think after a preliminary period of figuring out each day was repeating, and frustration, when he started to get serious about learning all these skills, he probably was working on many of these each day. I would estimate it was at the very least a few years, but I doubt it was more than 10 years. Also, I don't think he spent 10,000 hours on each of his skills/talents, learning piano, ice sculpting, and French, etc. -- maybe 2,000 hours each. I think the 10,000 hour standard for mastery of a subject is a good approximate answer for most people for most skills, but many people can be surprisingly good WAY before that if they have natural aptitude, are properly motivated, enjoy what they're doing, good teachers, are lucky, etc., etc.

[@111Phoenix777]

They should do the calculations again in hours with a low number and a high number for each activity. Then add them up, and divide by either 8, 12, or 16 to figure how many days (depending on how motivated you think Bill Murray's character was). I imagine there were probably days when he worked 16 hours he was so bored, and probably other days when he didn't work on anything.

[@skipbellon4342]

I was about to say the same thing. He starts out fresh each day... you can't injure your wrist in 24 hours.

[@LnPPersonified]

I was going to say this exact thing. The only down side is your muscles won't grow so you can't get any stronger, so you're stuck with the body you have now. I wonder if that impacts ones ability to learn something like the piano, since while you're gaining the knowledge, your hands aren't building up the muscles necessary for rapid key strokes. Imagine learning to play the guitar, but without the benefit of callouses that eventually make playing less painful to your fingertips.

If we assume that he is 45 years old when he enters the loop, I sort of expect that he needs to spend at least more than those 45 years in the loop in order to forget his „previous life“ sotospeak. His body and mind must get used to the loop and normalize it, so that it doesnt feel weird and unusual anymore, only then can he start to rebuild his new GOD persona, when it doesnt conflict with his previous normal life anymore

Liking the vid but my OCD's rattled over a sweater with half a word it never got to read 😅 was it Misery?

[@rustyspoon4911]

Miseor it's a Latin word that in terms is getting popular with English people

[@AmoralTom]

Mise - it is Irish for 'Me'.

The first couple seconds when she sweeps in, her hair goes off to one side. It is the word "Misery". I only know that, and because of your question I had to see for myself. Luckily, not too long. :)

Misery... you can just make out the R and the Y as Ash slides back into frame at the very end 14:48 -49

In 2008, while in Iraq, our team watched and did an estimate of years spent…I came up with 30-35 and everyone thought I was nuts. So I’m happy to hear that Harold Ramos and you guys agree with me lol

I wonder if he caught the child falling out of a tree, or saved that bloke from choking every day, or whether he sometimes just let them die because he had other things to do.

[@kbob1163]

I'm wondering if he remembered to do those things on his last Groundhog Day. Otherwise, the guy choked to death and the kid wound up in the hospital.

[@eugenio027]

@@kbob1163 He did that to get to the last Groundhog day.

[@Xelaman13]

Man, KZbin ad algorithm is so good, I just got a Jeep commercial featuring Bill Murray acting as his Groundhog Day character.

Gets up determined to get something done. Watches this video. To heck with it: goes back to bed.

[@TheBeat710]

I just returned to bed as I was reading your comment.

[@HereForTheComments]

WhatCulture already did this video. In fact, it's their oldest video. Go check, it should still be there.

[@jaronneutronix3231]

They do this video every day.

I'm just gonna stick with 35 years to smack my friends with my impressive knowledge of useless information about a great movie.

[@tilarium2]

If I was stuck in a time loop for 34 years... I'd spend all of them trying to impress Ash, of course. How is that even a question?

[@baldon2652]

He didn't completely find himself - the closing joke punchline: "We'll rent, to start."

[@PetProjects2011]

The new Jeep Cherokee commercial with Bill Murray played before the video. That was awesome.
