    Filmed in my hometown of Woodstock, Illinois; lived a couple houses down from the B&B he stays in (every time he looks out the window that's my folks' house the second on the right). I was around ten years old and having two Ghostbusters come to town and make a movie that I could watch the filming of from my backyard blew my mind. So many great associations tied to this movie for me and I love getting to vicariously watch it again for the first time through someone else's eyes; loved your reaction!

    He learned to be a better man. That's what ended the loop. Didn't you notice that the first thing he did in the loop was countless days of hedonism? Then after that, he settled into depression, and tried to kill himself. Then he shifted to learning new skills, and finally into being selfless. He ended his last day of his loop by admitting that he took joy in all the good he did. "Even if tomorrow never comes, i'm happy now." It's a story of being a better person.

    There are lots of theories on how long he was trapped. Harold Ramis (the director) said it was 10 years. Some people have worked out, because of everything he learned to do, that it was over 30 years. I read somewhere that the script had it set at 10,000 years. Needless to say, it was a very long time. As for what caused the loop to break, it was probably because he finally became a good person.

    Groundhog Day, what a movie! A real event in the real world. A weather-forecasting-animal-event, brought to america by the Pennsylvania dutch/deutsch (Germans speaking deutsch not dutch like the Netherlanders). In the original it was called "badger Day" (Dachstag). But there were no badgers in Pennsylvania back in the days, so the groundhog got the job.

    I feel like a lot of us are stuck in a metaphorical loop, especially as you get older and settle into a routine, doing the same thing day in and day out with less and less variation. The movie is telling us that no matter your situation you can get out of your rut and learn to become a better person, and break your bad habits. At least that's what I take from it. I know I'm quite guilty of getting stuck and not feeling like anything different is possible.

    I've heard of a deleted scene where an ex-girlfriend curses him, but honestly the movie is better leaving the situation ambiguous. I've also heard that they filmed this movie in a clever way -- of course, when there were many versions of the same scene, they shot those back-to-back, but in *reverse* chronological order, so Bill Murray would be fresh for the later versions and be getting tired and grumpy for the earlier versions.

    It’s kinda a metaphor for life, if you think about it.
    Things worth having usually aren’t “easy”, achieving difficult things usually are, because they allow us to grow, and you need some emotional calluses to continue to grow and try and fail and to keep trying until you succeed.

As you go through the movie, you see him lean French, piano, ice sculpting... all kinds of things. There's one point where they are sitting on the bed, throwing cards in a hat.

      The tv version of Stargate had a fairly comic episode based on the same premise, only the cause was scientific. They just had to figure it out in time, and didn't, for a long time.
      In their version, two people were involved: O'Neill & Teal'c. What happened when they realized there were no consequences was hysterical. It had a much lighter tone than this movie.

    Over the last 50 years, the groundhog was WRONG 56% of the time.
    The talent is a common term used in reference to performers of all kinds. So, Phil would technically be the talent on his news show.
    RIP Harold Ramis. (doctor. Played Egon in Ghostbusters). Directed/wrote/etc. many beloved movies in comedy (including Animal House, Caddyshack, & Back To School).
    movie suggests that the time loop ended when Phil actually became a good person rather than pretended to be one and actually wooed Rita successfully because he loved her.
    Some theories have Phil repeating the same day 12,395 times or 33 years & 350 days. Another has it at 11, 931 days. I'm sure others have other theories as well. It's a very long time in any case.

    but grilled is it brutal delicous*-* or on Pizza. The Film is my favorite one, in germany it's called Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier.

    I really enjoy this movie, but I still find the ending weird from a relationship perspective. I get that Phil has vastly improved himself and shown his improved self to Rita, and her opinion of him has changed, but in this last reality there's no indication that he's told her about what's happened yet, and from her perspective things would be moving blindingly fast. After maybe 18 hours tops (where she's only really interacted with him twice before going back with him to the inn) she decided to give up all the money she has on her, close to $400, on this guy she still barely knows. That's a bit weird but somewhat acceptable. The really weird thing is what happens the following morning after the loop is over. Literally the last line is the bombshell of "Let's live here. We'll rent to start." This is a guy she's known for what, a few weeks maybe, since she was new at the station, and she's only really gotten to know him at all in the past couple of days, and she seems totally fine with the idea of moving with a near stranger to a new town. That is WILD and the movie takes it completely at face value and makes us think it's completely reasonable, but only by romcon logic does it make any sense at all. If they'd left literally just that line out I think the ending would have been way better because every time I see that scene it takes me out of it and makes me think she's crazy for just reacting so nonchalantly after he says it, and makes me wonder what their next conversation is going to be like. Like I get it, Rita, you dream of settling down and having a family, but talk about jumping in headfirst into a relationship.

      When you know, you know. People fall in love with only limited interactions all the time. Not saying it is healthy, but it happens. I knew the day my wife moved in across the street from me, after our first interaction, that we would be together forever. Now married 27 years and I still know we’ll be together always.

    Bill Murray is apparently a complete ass, very much like the jerk parts he plays. They filmed the movie in reverse because they knew that, so he was in a better mood at the "end", and was all pissy and over it by the first scenes so his irritation/contempt would ooze through.

The scene was cut when they realized, correctly, that the audience just didn't need to know.

    I have developed a theory about this movie having watched reactions to it over and over and over. I believe the time loop begins when Rita says to Phil at the beginning of the movie after he gives his first Groundhog's Day speech that he should do it again without the sarcasm. But when he disses her and grumpily says "We got it!" someone was apparently listening (her guardian angel perhaps or maybe his) and decided to curse him to relive the day until he actually did as she asked. And that is exactly what seems to have happened as we do not see him finally giving a good speech until the very last day.

    Have a look at The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus, his essay on the philosophy of the absurd. Sorry books.
    Sisyphus, king of Ephyra, punished by Hades for cheating death twice, is forced to roll a huge boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity. (Greek myth).
    Camus wrote "The struggle itself ........ is enough to fill a man's heart".
    Sisyphus is (and so is Phil) an existentialist hero. does not allow reason to dictate his life. but relies very much on passions in determining his actions and judges others not on how rational they are but rather on how passionate they are.

    I have seen this movie many times over the decades and I always notice different things.
    At first I liked the ending where He stays with Rita... but after watching it many times, I think He has outgrown her.
    He is now thousands or hundreds of years old. He is like a vampire.
    And when you're that old you start to see everyone as children.
    At this point it is possible that he is asexual. A kind of Jesus Christ. Where He loves everyone.
    He is now over Rita and should have a partner more in par with his age.....if not his age; more on par with his internal development...which is very hard to find.
    It would have to be a woman who all her life has lived her life to the fullest... like a cardiologist who speaks many languages, travels and helps everyone all pro-bono.
    It is not a question of beauty.
    ¿Why doesn't He stay with one of the other girls in town? Even the owner of the Inn or his piano teacher.
    ¿What does Rita have that the others don't?
    She's just like a prize, a trophy.
    Also from Rita's point of view...it doesn't make sense for her to fall in love with Phil just from meeting him in one day.
    If Phil did all those things in town... He didn't really spent time with Rita for more than a few moments.
    It's not the same as the days when He was with her the entirety of the day.
    Another ending will be that Phil is single for the rest of his live and He is ok about that.
    He lives for the community.
    Or an open ending where He will look for love somewhere else.

As such, he filmed the movie almost in reverse order, starting with the scenes at the end where Murray's character had become a better human being, and ending with the scenes from the start of the movie where Murray's character is an ascerbic jerk.
