The scene with the elderly man always gets me. He thinks that because he is stuck in a loop, he can control things and make them how he wants them to be. But that’s not life. No matter what he did, the old man always died. Phil just had to accept it. it’s also why I personally think he stopped, trying to save him, and instead made his last day memorable. Where he had somebody there for him. To share a meal with. To keep him company.
To answer the question posed in the title: the director said 30-40 years. The original script had him stuck for 10,000 years.
My personal opinion would be somewhere in the hundreds, because it takes decades to master a skill like piano and ice sculpting. He also memorized the entire situation of everyone in the town and got to know them incredibly well. He also evidently spent most of his days in total despair and committed suicide many, many times, and only started to improve himself after the day he got to explain his situation to Rita.
woah
I believe it was actually 10,000 days, not 10,000 years. He kept track of the days by reading a page of a book each day and working his way through a bookcase. That's 27.5 years.
Although the bookcase idea was ultimately dropped, this period of time seems about right to learn about everyone in the town, become proficient in a second language, a musical instrument, and the other things he accomplished with little else to do for the best part of the day.
There is a book called "How to write Groundhog Day" by the movie's writer, Danny Rubin, which goes into fascinating detail about all this. This is what I remember from it.
You guys are ridiculously hyperbolic yet ignorant or naive about acquiring skills. It does not take decades to learn a couple of piano songs.
The entire question of how long he spent is a ridiculous premise of a question because gives us no measuring stick for time or attempts or achievements. They jump around and compile moments and leave stuff out and imply or insinuate things that may or may not have happened. Only parts are concurrent moments. The ice sculpture stuff is a good indicator that they aren’t measuring time.
According to Harold Ramis, THE DIRECTOR, it was 10,000 years. He was a Buddhist and they believe it takes 10,000 years to perfect the human soul...which is what the movie was about.
I like to think it was 33,988 years, matching Rita’s bid (moved up from the decimal places, of course). 10,000 years might be enough for most, but this is Phil we’re talking about.
Comedy with a soul, good analysis!
5:11 "Why did I think it was going to be a giant balloon? That doesn't even make any sense." 🤷♂😝
Yeaaaaaah. Nobody knew about Groundhog Day around the world before this movie came out and it was a huge hit worldwide nonetheless.
Hi, Aria! "Groundhog Day" is my BIRTHDAY movie! I was born on February 2nd, and I've watched this movie on my birthday for years! Great watching you react to it!
According to the writer he was stuck for 10 years' worth pf repeats. Someone else calculated it would be 33 years and change. He didn't get free of the loop until he dedicated the day completely to everyone else's good.
I’ve always thought this movie was a modern day Beauty and the Beast- an unpleasant man is cursed, and the curse is lifted only when he learns to be a better man and earns the love of a good woman.
The groundhog handler was played by Brian Doyle-Murray, Bill Murray’s brother. He appears in many of Bill’s movies.
Besides this movie and Ghostbusters, other good Bill Murray movies are Scrooged, What About Bob?, and Rushmore. He’s also great in Zombieland, though he’s only in one scene.
I believe the director said he was stuck in the loop for about 30 years.
damn!!
Sonny and Cher's signature tune "I've Got You Babe" from 1965 (three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100) playing over and over... and over on the radio.
With all the skills he learned(like playing the piano, Ice Sculpting, Poetry and French) and learning everyone's life experiences, some estimated that he lived the Same Day equivalency of 10-15 Years!
The Doctor that examined his brain was Harold Ramis (RIP)... EGON in Ghost Busters!
And the director 😊
When Bill's character stole the groundhog and took off in the truck the groundhog bit Bill so severely he had to go to a local hospital and get stitches for a finger
The man he performed the Heimlich on was his brother Brian Doyle Murray
Wonderful reaction. So much fun to see your expressions and you have the best laugh. The thing I love about this film is even though it's a fantasy film it's grounded in real emotion. Probably in my top 10 favorite films of the '90,s.
I agree with your thoughts on the film. I can watch it over and over. And yes Aria C has the best laugh. Plus she's cute.
@24:31 Mozart Sonata in C. …..bottom of page 1 or beginning of page 2. It’s been 30+years since I learned all 11 pages for piano exams.
Two of the Ghostbusters were in it of course, plus it was directed by the late Harold Ramis. It really is a warm hearted, feel good film. I'm glad it wasn't just silly, forgettable humor, but also very human.
Lots of SNL people- Bill, Brian Doyle-Murray, Robin Duke (played the waitress) and Chris Elliott.
I have developed a theory on GROUNDHOGS DAY, having now seen reactions to it over and over and over again. It all begins right after Phil gives his first Groundhog Day speech to which Rita tells him to try it again "without the sarcasm". But even though she is his boss he totally disses her, saying "We got it". And then he walks away. That I believe is what got him in trouble with some unseen force who decided to condemn him to relive the day over and over until he complied with his boss' wishes. And some 40 years later (from Phil's point of view) we finally see him giving a great speech and without even realizing it he broke the curse by doing what Rita asked at the start of the movie.
The moral of the story I guess is this. When your boss asks you to do something they have every right to ask you to do, do it. You never know who might be listening.
Interesting🤔
I’d say you’re mostly accurate but not completely. He was basically lost. He couldn’t love anybody but himself because he was so narcissistic. When he truly becomes a good person and get somebody to love him and it happens.
@@nedrini1055 I think you are missing the point of what I am saying. Your solution, which is the way I think it is commonly understood does not explain why it happened in the first place. People don't get stuck in time loops simply because they are narcissistic. There has to be some explanation. And the only explanation the movie gives us is when Rita tells Phil to do it again without the sarcasm, which leaves us to speculate that if maybe had he done as she requested from the start this might not have happened.
@@nedrini1055 And he doesn't even like himself.
So, this is my favorite movie and one of my favorite readings or interpretations of this movie is : The first day he spent in that town was the worst day of his life and the last day was the best day of his life. The only thing that changed was him
I used to show this movie to my pupils for the last class back in time. Until they were bored by watching a movie, internet…
I suggested you to watch It’s a Wonderful Life some time ago to put your heart to the test, there’s some similarities…
Did you teach myth for highschool? Our teacher showed us this movie back in 2006
The most heartbreaking line in this film is when Phil is in the bar and says "What would you do if you were stuck in one place and everyday is the same" then the man says "That about sums it up for me". Heartbreaking.
Honestly, the most heartbreaking scenes are with old guy. When he realizes that "I can't save everyone". And he concentrates on the people he can save. Like the kid in the tree, Buster the groundhog honcho, etc. It's kind of sweet. It's like "I know my limitations, but there is some stuff I can do."
The mayor, Buster, is Bill Murray's real life older brother, Brian Doyle-Murray
One estimate suggests that it takes at least 10,000 hours of study (just over a year's worth of time) to become an expert in a field, and given the number of loops seen or mentioned on screen, and how long Phil could spend per day studying, that Phil spent approximately 12,400 days, or nearly 34 years, trapped in the loop.
He’s not becoming an expert in anything. Just learning a piano song is not the same as studying the whole field.
'Just learning a piano song is not the same as studying the whole field." But he played multiple songs. And a jazz song with a band he'd never played with. I can play piano and he seemed like an expert to me. He didn't learn to write songs. So, he's not Elton John or Billy Joel. But give the guy some credit. He was never asked to explain music theory to anyone. Let the guy have his moment.
The drunk at the bar..."that sums it up for me" I know the feelin 🤣🤣🤣
20:03 _This_ scene, I think, illustrates the kind of extreme measures to which ordinary people can be _pushed._ In everyone else's experience, prior to this, Phil was just kind of _abrasive_ and _cantankerous,_ but they put _up_ with it because he was extraordinarily good at what he _did._
Point of interest, the announcer who was choking on food is Bill Murray’s brother. He was in several other movies with him. While the movie is placed in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania, most of the film was shot in Woodstock Illinois. According to wiki they even put a plaque on the sidewalk marking the location of the puddle Phil kept stepping in. Another similar themed movie is “Scrooged”. If you haven’t seen it already it is a fun movie to watch. Even with the well known theme the way it’s presented is new and entertaining.
Woodstock has markers with placards all over the town square and immediate area for each scene in the movie. Phil's puddle (which has obviously been repaired for safety), Ned's corner, the "Philadelphia Hotel" which is the Woodstock Opera House, "Gobbler's Knob" and bandstand in the town square park, the alley where he tries to save the homeless guy, the movie theater with Heidi II on the marquee. Since the movie, they have 5 days of events over the week of Groundhog Day- breakfast, dinner, daily showings of the movie etc.
That was an absolutely precious reaction to this movie, this is one of my favorite reactions for it I've yet seen. You're a great comedy reactor! And also a great romance reactor! Definitely keep hitting those from time to time! "Raising Arizona", fantastic, brilliant, one-of-a-kind comedy with a great love story, the Coen Brothers second movie, Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter, 1980s...... "Annie Hall" the very definition of a comedy love story, one of the best ever, saw a reaction for it recently and it was fantastic , Diane Keaton at her greatest. And let's go classic: "It Happened One Night", great rom-com! you're the best, Aria! I hope you're having fun making these videos because they are so much fun to watch! Thanks for this one, it was very special! :)
PS: "Tootise" and "The Royal Tenenbaums", two fantastic one-of-a-kind comedies with love stories.....and Bill Murray! Bill Murray has supporting roles in both movies but he's great. Both are classics, both you'll love. 1982 and 2001 are the years of both movies, I believe. THANKS, ARIA!
Thankyou ❤️
We don't have 6 weeks of winter here in Houston. So, if the groundhog sees his shadow, we get 6 more hours of winter. Also, we should all eat pork sausage on February 2 since it's groundhog day and pork sausage is made from ground hog. Also, I don't think you can learn an instrument in a day. You have to stretch muscles over time in order to make certain keys and key combinations. But Phil's body resets at the beginning of each day.
I know I'm a year late to the party, but there are a couple of things nobody mentions, 1. a fresh set of clothes waiting for you every morning, no laundry and 2. he got to stay in a really nice Bed and Breakfast for 30+ years for the price of a single night.
31:53 I never thought of it that way, "He knows the entire town". He's like The Matrix NEO in that town
Another great movie ! And reaction ofc🔥🥰
Good reaction once again. You've already heard the theory about how long he was stuck in the loop. Some say 10 thousand some say 34 or whatever. Personally I haven't invested much of my time thinking about that. What I have thought is the message. Would I like to be able to live the same day over and over until I'm the greatest guitar player of all time, the greatest sex machine, the greatest mathematician, the greatest anything.....yes. Then no. Whatever "higher power" forced Phil into the loop knew it was both a gift and a curse. Don't let any day pass you by without realising it.
Wonderful reaction to a great movie. Thank you.
another funny Bill Murray movie very worthwhile is "What about Bob?"
Every February 2nd, I playy DVD and watch it... more than once. After all it's Groundhog Day!!! ✌️❤️🌹
Thank you, Aria, for sharing your reaction to one of my favorite movies.
Another great Bill Murray comedy is What About Bob
Fantastic reaction! If I remember correct the time was suppose to be around 33 years. A long time, but if I could have a timeloop (that indeed would end) I would want to do it.
15:00 "Sweet vermouth. Rocks with a twist, please."
_No,_ Phil. You don't want the lady to feel like she's being courted by _herself._
The guy that Bill Murray encounters at the top of the stairs every morning played the Santa in the park in the first Home Alone movie. He is also from Chicago like the Murray brothers.
Also Max in Armageddon
Thanks for sharing.
👍
i love Arias reaction videos... thank u for doing it
❤️❤️
If you really loved this movie, you will also love "Lost In Translation" starring Bill Murray.
Awesome, thanks .
@2:36, love that Scottie lamp
the director said he was stuck on Feb 2 for 30-40 yrs
The lesson he learned: "I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do....let me do it now....for I shall not pass this way again." -- Henry Drummond. Or more universally: "Love your neighbor as yourself" -- Leviticus 19:17 and Mathew 12:31
"When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter. From Punxsutawney, it's Phil Connors. So long."
Fun Fact: There are exactly 38 days depicted in this film, either partially or in full. The actual time Phil (Bill Murray) spends in his loop can only be guessed at.
Art Imitates Life Fact: The idea of Phil Connors reading to Rita Hanson (Andie MacDowell) while she sleeps came from Bill Murray. His wife drank too much champagne on their wedding night and fell asleep early, so Murray read aloud to her until he too fell asleep.
Falling Boy Fact: When Phil (Bill Murray) takes the elderly man to the hospital, and talks to the nurse, a boy with a broken leg can be seen in the background. This is the same boy who falls out of a tree later on in the film, only this time, Phil catches him. Shaun Chaiyabhat, who played the boy in the tree, grew up to become a local television news reporter.
Location Location Fact: The film was not filmed in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, but actually in Woodstock, Illinois (just fifty miles from Bill Murray's hometown of Wilmette, Illinois). There is a small plaque that reads "Bill Murray Stepped Here" on the curb where Murray continually steps into a puddle. There is another plaque on the building wall at the corner that says "Ned's Corner" where Phil Connors was continually accosted by Ned Ryerson (Stephen Tobolowsky). During the Ned scene the sign for "Woodstock Jewelers" is clearly seen in the background.
wow I didn't notice the boy in the hospital
Aria C ...Yeah, it's real subtle visual storytelling. I think it is cool the boy grew up to get into the news business.
Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍
FYI: Debbie's fiance: Michael 'Zod' Shannon...
You will kneel before Debbie’s fiancé!
If you want to see a _horror_ movie that relies on this same concept, let me recommend the movie _Happy Death Day._ It's a movie in which a young lady named Theresa keeps reliving the day of her _death._ And wouldn't you know, they managed to produce a _sequel_ called _Happy Death Day 2U,_ but I think _that_ movie relies a little too much on the _humorous_ elements of this theme.
And if you want to see an _especially_ humorous take on this concept, let me recommend an episode of a sci-fi series we once had on TV, here in the US, called _Stargate: SG-1._ It's the sixth episode of the fourth season, called "Window of Opportunity."
interesting Bill Murray's character and the groundhog are both named Phil!
Another great Bill Murray movie to check out in December is Scrooged. A different take of A Christmas Carol
Phil is in purgatory (first day “what the Hell?), Ned the salesman is the devil [“heckfire”; orange feather (horn) in his hat, “watch your step” (falling into Hell) “It’s a doozy,” etc.] trying to get him to sell his soul via signing a “life insurance” contract, the bartender is God watching with a smirk, and Rita is an angel.
But Phil did sign "life insurance" contract with Ned.
.
Did he sell his soul ?
.
@@michaelharvey75 Phil was released from the time loop the day he signed the contract. So I vote "yes" the happy ending was a facade, and Phil's true damnation and suffering was about to begin (off screen - to sell more tickets for a happy ending).
I think it was worked out that he was reliving the same day for 10 years although the original script had considered 10,000 years.
One of the fun thing that almost every movie does "wrong" is that they have people standing under a shower before turning on the water. In reality, everyone let the water run to get warm and they check. In movies they pretend that the water would be warm directly.
ok ok, only the when there is an actual scene with the start of a shower. So almost every movie is incorrect. But if they have such a scene... 95% (yup, out of my ass) that they don't let it run first.
NICE
In eastern state they call them Groundhogs….
In the west they are called Woodchucks 👍
"Can you call in sick?"
You got the joke!
So many reactors miss the fact the he's making a gay pass at Ned and Ned realizes it and is totally grossed out.
"Why did I think it was going to be a giant balloon?" - maybe because the news cant stop talking about Chinese weather balloons...
17:47: so glad you left that one in
Phil got an extra life.
The mc who almost choked: Brian Doyle-Murray, related to Bill.
Dammit this is like the 10,000th time I've seen this reaction. I'm not gonna comment on it again.😣
Okay, camper, rise and shine…
i watched a video theory of this film, the guy who created the video thought maybe 40+ years because of all the things he had to learn, piano, ice carving, each and every person in the town he learned their names, and back grounds. but there is a behind the scenes interview with the producers, and one of them said he was in the loop 54 years. anyways, great reaction to a classic! 👍
1:43 _"I_ think it's a nice story."
Maybe, but this act of covering the festival is a job for a _journalist,_ not a _meteorologist._ Journalism is the discipline in which people become adept at documenting and reporting the _news._ Meteorology is the science that focuses on the ways that _weather_ can be predicted. Journalists and meteorologists often work _together,_ but they're not the same people. They don't have the same _expertise._
This is good. But "What about Bob?" Is even a better comedy movie. Top 5 for me in fact.
A year? To reach the level he was on musically as far as his piano playing alone goes would’ve taken many years of concentrated daily practice.
Happy Death Day is a horror version (although PG-13) of the plot. A woman has to figure out who is trying to murder her and her friends, again and again.
That sounds interesting
To the best of my knowledge, Groundhog Day, is the only movie, for which I laughed out loud at a man jumping off of a building, trying to kill himself.
7:41 It's not so much that it _happens._ It's that it happens over and _over_ again.
8:15 It's not so much that it _happens._ It's that it happens over and _over_ again.
I hope he didn't steal the bag of money on the last day of the loop!
Yeah😅
Someone else on one of these boards suggested that on that last day he could have just gone up to the piano teacher at the party and said something like you probably don't remember me but years ago you were my first piano teacher, it was because of you that I can play like I do now. Knowing how well he would know her at that point he could make that sound plausible. Phil made that last day as perfect as he could, he wouldn't have wanted to steal and he wouldn't want the young piano student thrown out of the house!
How would you react if you found in the same situation ? 🕛😏
Hello Aria
hello
🔥👍🏼💛
I’m guessing at least 50 years
I'd 100% actually learn to play the guitar. That's it.
Menos onda que bandera de lata.
He gets stuck in Groundhog Day because he's a jerk. The movie is a story of redemption.
In the script, he is stuck for decades because his ex girlfriend put a curse on him.
One thing... The old man, his days advance, he recognizes Phil, and he says in different ways, and Phil calls him Dad and Pop!😮😮
15:38 "Believe it or not, I studied 19th. century French poetry."
🤔 Am I the only one who finds this kind of _lazy?_ I mean French is such a poetic language _already._ Take the _Encyclopedia Britannica_ article about Credit Default Swaps, read it in French and it sounds _poetic._ The _true_ measure of a skilled poet is being poetic in a language _not_ so pleasing to the ear.
Oh, but not along the lines of _German._ If you grow up in the US, you tend to have the wrong idea of just how poetic _German_ can be as _well._ Odds are, you've grown up with what German sounded like from the _soldiers_ we dealt with, in WWII. But _any_ language is going to sound harsher in the mouth of _soldiers_ than the mouth of _poets._
Mandalorian pleaseeee

@@ariachanson01 thank you Ari I'm your #1 fan from Monterrey Mexico. best wishes to you
Thankyou❤️❤️❤️
@@ariachanson01 Thank youuu , you've made my day for answering me.
You need 10.000 hours of training to play an instrument well.
No you don’t. 10000 hour rule is a misconception.
