Groundhog Day (1993)

  • Information at Internet Movie Database
  • Roger Ebert Review, Chicago Sun-Times
  • Values & Visions Video Guide: Groundhog Day, Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Health - Spiritual Practices for Human Being.
  • Review, Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality & Health - Spiritual Practices for Human Being.
  • Themes
    • Afterlife
      • "There is an old belief that everyone is rewarded with the heaven or hell that he deserves. For Phil, the nasty, self-centered weather forecaster played by Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day," that hell reveals itself one morning in the Groundhog Capitol of Punxsutawney, Pa...Groundhog Day will repeat itself over and over and over again, apparently until the end of time, and Phil will be permanently condemned to cover it. He's trapped in some kind of time warp...." (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Review)
    • Alternate Reality
      • Groundhog Day for either Ephesians 5:16, "making the most of the time" or for 2 Corinthians 6:1, "now is the acceptable time." In the Movie, Bill Murray is a reporter stuck in a town in PA, covering Groundhog day. He finds himself stuck in time, waking up every morning to the same day. At first he is horrified, but then he realizes he can take advantage of what he is already learned from living the through the day previously. Eventually he realizes he has the opportunity to "make the most of the day." (Erwin F. Goedicke)
    • Conversion
      • "Breaking Free from the Past": Really good clips with Phil Conners talking to Rita in the cafe about living the same day over and over also talking to two guys at a bowling alley about being stuck in one place and not knowing what to do. Some great humorous scenes (five) of seeing Ned Ryerson repeatedly and having to remember is past. (Mike Simpson)
