      @@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.

    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.

      I wonder why people say things like this, and what the timeframe is on it. When someone reacts to The Wizard of Oz from 1939 you don't see RIP x, y, z, l, g, b, t, q, etc... 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.

The next day it feels very much like she is pursuing him. Such a lovely ending and movie!

    This was filmed in a small little town called Woodstock Illinois. Just a little bit north of Chicago. My friends and I drove up there on a whim in 2002 and the people there were so awesome, so welcoming, and so proud of their friend Bill. (Bill Murray even joined a softball team while they were up there.) People literally opened their homes to us when they found out why we were there.

    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.

    Back in the DVD days, one of the special features had an interview with the director where the director said that he wanted to convey that Phil was stuck in that loop for 1,000 years, not 30-40 years.
    For him learn all those skills, relearn his morality, having his "fun, no rules" phase, having his depression phase, learn the life experiences and pasts PERFECTLY of all those people in the town, including Rita, know how they would react to every situation and everything they could possibly say, know where everyone is going to be every second of any given moment that day, committing literally everything to memory... I absolutely believe it would take no less than 1,000 years. People learn a lot in 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. But to learn everything he did would take much longer.

    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.

      Absolutely, that film is unbelievably beautiful… the part when she dresses him for combat, sending him off to almost certain death, is one of the most remarkably accurate portrayals of love and unsaid sadness I have ever seen. I have yet to find a woman that vibes with me to that deep level.
      As far as copyright trackers go, allegedly Tom Cruise films get removed constantly… but then how you explain all the TopGun Maverick reactions out there?
      And please…. Star Wars Original Trilogy? Those aren’t movies… they’re art, made by master craftsmen. Next time you watch Empire, I actually have a heartfelt theory and I want you to get back and let me know what you think… Yoda states he’s hundreds of years old. It’s too coincidental to me that he dies within a year or two of meeting Luke after ALL that time. My theory is, he says his strength in the force has been keeping him alive… I think he expends the last of his strength to teach Luke the valuable lesson when he lifts his X-Wing for him. Sacrifices his life for Luke, teaching one last valuable lesson. Watch him exhale when he releases it… that’s an exhaustion of hundreds of years being let go. I friggin cried when I realized that.
      Back to laughing, definitely do Office Space and Bad Santa… my favorite part involves Peppermint Schnapps and someone’s windshield. You’ll understand when you see it.
      I gotta tell you, I’m glad you respond to comments and interact with your audience. I’m relaunching my channel and will be doing reaction videos as part of the variety, and I’ve always made sure to respond to comments. I think it’s important and some channels don’t even bother. Kudos.

If by chance you’re cool with advice or chat about it, shoot a message over to my channel or I can drop my email or something.

      @@mattrismattThe trap was luring Luke to Bespin in order to capture and turn him over to the Emperor. I believe he set it up two ways simultaneously:
      1) He tortures Han in order to cause Luke to sense the suffering of his friends (which he sees as a vision during training with Yoda). Also, remember Han saying “they didn’t even ask me any questions”? Aka he was tortured only to cause Luke to sense his distress.
      2) Luke obviously wants confrontation, so Vader happily obliges.
      When he gets there, he’s led to the confrontation by doors and corridors being opened and by way of his own curiosity. Luke has absolutely no clue that the plan is to immobilize him in carbonite until he falls in the pit.

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.

    Couldn't help but notice a little "Eternal Sunshine" poking over your shoulder and I have to recommend a movie that was written and directed by the same one who wrote Eternal Sunshine, and what I believe to be the late great Phillip Seymour Hoffman's magnum opus role, "Synecdoche, New York". Exquisitely one-of-a-kind philosophical dark comedy.

    it's funny cause Ramis, who knew Bill Murray very well, decided to film the sequences basically in reverse: they started filming the later scenes, when Bill's character is more upbeat and has accepted his fate as it were and is enjoying himself in Punxsutawney, and then later they would film the earlier parts when he was being miserable. Because Ramis knew that's exactly how Murray would be in real life: upbeat and cheerful at the beginning of a movie shoot, and a miserable git by the end of it (so miserable in fact that he and Ramis had a falling out that lasted decades)

    Imagine how long he was in the loop. He was there sooo long, he learned to play the piano, got a doctorate in medicine, got to know every single person AND was in every part of the town on that specific day. How many days did he need to get intimate with each person platonic or otherwise so well? Even the minimum amount of time is re-donkulous.😳😳

    Harold Ramis, director of the movie, once said that Phil was stuck on Goundhog Day for 10 years, later he revised it to 30 or 40 years. If you work out all the skills he would have needed to acquire, it works out to a short estimate of 8 years to a long estimate of 34. The initial script had a line that exposes a much longer time frame though... Connors said to Rita that “I’ve been waiting for you every day for ten thousand years.”.. suggesting his time loop was 10,000 years.

    The movie was filmed in Woodstock, IL. Every year since the movie they have a week of festivities in the Town Square area. There are permanent markers in all the notable spots - "Bill Murray's puddle" (which of course has been filled in for safety), "Ned's corner", etc.. They even put Heidi II on the movie theater marquee.
    The "Pennsylvania Hotel" is actually the Woodstock Opera House.

      But that estimate is only for learning the stuff he showed to become competent at, does not include all the days when he just goofed off, killed himself, just did nothing out of depression etc. Also, that person has no actual idea how long it would take Phil to learn all those things, just went by average human learning capability.

    One of Bill's best films. "Could anyone else go for some flapjacks about now?" Too many quotables came out of this. Another great Bill Murray departure was his first foray into a dramatic role when he co-wrote the screenplay and starred in the 1984 remake of W. Somerset Maugham's THE RAZOR'S EDGE, which only returned a fraction of the budget at the box office, and many couldn't handle the 2+ hour length - but, I thought it was one of Murray's best films and definitely surpassed the 1946 film adaptation.
