| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A Thoughtful Metaphor Disguised as a Comedy. |
| "Groundhog Day" (1993) is a comedy... in its surface... but a thoughtful metaphor on meaning of life underneath.
Does this mean you will not laugh? No. It IS a comedy but there is more, MUCH more. The story is quite simple: a noted TV weatherman, cynical and embittered Phil Connors, is sent with his crew to report Groundhog Day. A snow storm ground the team at Punxsutawny, driving Phil mad with impatience & impotence. The frustrating day ends, Phil go to sleep and when he awakes... it's Groundhog Day again. And again, and again, and again. Phil is horrified. The movie chronicles his eternal re-living. There's enough stuff to laugh in earnest with poor Phil marooned in a boring day. His way to cope with this situation ranges from desperation to resignation; from egotistical attitudes to caring for others; from boredom to making the best of a bad day. I think is a metaphor of human life. Each of us may choose, even in constrained situations, what to do with our lives and live it to its ending. Bill Murray gives a top-notch performance showing all the emotions that rage thru his character. Andie Mac Dowell as the producer of the TV team is a sweetheart as always. Ten points for the idea! It is a very enjoyable film for all audiences. One last thing, if you like the "re-living" subject you may enjoy the book "Replay" by Ken Grimwood, it is centered on "replaying" a whole life!
