"He's my student!" - She thinks she has only given him one lesson, and it makes her look as if she is taking credit for Phil's skill, but she IS actually the one that taught him everything he knows. That makes me so happy to know.
Since Phil is trying to be the best version of himself possible, it's likely he spoke to the piano teacher sometime that day before he played, telling her she was his teacher - perhaps when he was a child but certainly long ago.
@@dawnbaxter33 I'd never thought of that, but it really fits in with the person Phil has grown into over all those repeated days, and it makes me even happier! What a wonderful addition, thank you!
Wish I could relive the same day for 30 years. Would actually be a terrible experience, but the opportunity to have no responsibilities and just take the time to develop yourself, learning thousands of new skills would be so rewarding once you escaped the loop.
Took him 33 years of the same day but he finally found the secret to true love to just be a good man plus ice sculpting and playing the piano did help 😂😂😆
really the movie is about HER and him having to bring himself up to a standard she would accept, or was it someone saying "look, if you want that, you need to do all these things and change for the better".
He went from being too good for the groundhog party and opting to sit in his room alone at the beginning of the movie to going to it and having a great time with everyone.
My brother Rob tuned the piano that was used for the lessons. For the film, the crew moved the piano to where it is in the film. Murray wanted to actually play it, so they had to tune it after it was moved. Then, when they finished filming, they had to move it back, and my brother tuned it in its original location. He had to hang around all day waiting, so he spent a lot of time between takes talking about guitars with the late Director Harold Ramis. Sadly, most of what was filmed that day never made it into the movie.
In a world where he wakes up and every day is the same, music is the one thing that can give variety to his day. Every different note he plays is going to alter what the band plays, giving him just a tiny bit if change to his day
i think this was the last time i heard your species having real music played well and original type of vibe to it... this was it in this movie... last time... then came that britney girl few years later and it was all downhill from therre
I would argue music is just a shorter version of how he can make every day different. A song is 3 minutes roughly and everything he does differently is instantly reflected in the band playing different notes. That's what happens with everyone he intereacts with.
This is one of my top 10 movies of all time. It so good natured, and there are so many heartwarming moments in the film. It reminds me of the great moment in a Fred Astaire / Ginger Rodgers movie where he pretends he doesn't know how to dance and shows off after just one lesson (i think Top Hat). A wonderful use of Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini
You should check out the movie "Palm Springs". It's only available on Hulu, but Hulu has a 7 day free trial offer and you can cancel at the end of the trial with no charge.
Bill Murray is just phenomenal, probably a comedy trend maker in the 80's and early 90's before Jim Carrey & Tom Hanks got their big breaks after 1994. 🍷
Love this bit. When I was young, I wanted to learn and actually did play the piano cos of this movie, cos of him. Instead of doing jack shit everyday in my life, watching VHS tapes and playing Nintendo back then, I thought Bill Murray was right. Be positive. Pick up a piano skill. Play it over and over again til you get good at it and so others can notice you (like girls I like) or others can hear you. Rather than just sit at home stare at the TV & video games. And because of this movie, I never looked down or judge old homeless people. I gave them food and money or help whenever I can when I see one. Love this movie.
@@stevechance150 The usual 9-5 job. But not now cos of Pandemic and lock downs. Music: I picked up Guitar a bit too. Not great & recently just learnt new songs on Piano by watching RUclips.
I've seen this movie a hundred times but for some reason I've never connected that Phil's piano instructor is the same lady who tells Phil outside his Bed and Breakfast that she's headed to Gobbler's Knob. "It's Groundhog Day!"
I've also seen this movie a dozen times and never realized until last night (Feb 2) when I watched it with my 6 year old daughter for the third time that he actually told Rita what was going on. He told her! The ending made much more sense after that. The director could have made it slightly more obvious or am I the only one?
@slothlovechunk I can't tell if you're being serious, lol. The scene in which Phil tells Rita about his situation is a very notable, drawn out scene. The fact that you overlooked this after watching this a dozen times makes me wonder whether you were paying attention to the movie at all ...
@@47imagine right when the finish dancing at the party on the last repeat day, she insists he tell her what's going on. He then starts talking "with the short version." And while the auction is starting you see them talking in the background After that her disposition is completely changed and she accepts everything about him. She bought the story almost immediately. This is why him saying "I love you" and the last line "let's live here" all make sense and he doesn't get pushback from her because she knows he has spent half of a lifetime or whatever getting to know her and the people in the town. It was the missing piece for me... Like the penny finally dropped. I feel this was a director error if I'm not the only one and it took me this long to understand this.... I honestly thought the movie ended with him being somewhat dishonest still. But that tarnish has been removed for me now and the writing seems to click better... Anyway...
except he got the girl. However long it took him to get into her pants, he never learned the juice ain’t worth the squeeze, or that his lady love was a pretentious twat. Winning in this case was actually losing
My question is how many times did he play with this band in the loop? They felt his style with the Rachmaninov changes so well and morphed right into a rock coda. Cheers to this amazing band Cheers to his piano teacher who taught him everything he knows.
Maybe before the gig, he told to the band something like "Listen, guys, in the middle of a Blues I'll stop you to play a quick Rachmaninov solo to impress a girl and then you join me to finish with a Blues-Jazz progression"
This scene shows the Piano Teacher is actually the entity controlling the loop. At this point Phil obviously has nothing left to learn about playing the piano. He's also shown to be having a very busy day, too busy to fit in an entirely extraneous lesson. That she says she is his teacher therefore demonstrates that the piano teacher must remember all the previous "days" where she was, in fact, giving him lessons. Her ability to remember that is a strong indication she is controlling the loop, or at least monitoring it. Not shown in this clip is her telling Phil she is so proud of him (and not necessarily just about his piano playing?) which is not something she would tell someone of that skill level if they'd popped over for a quick update on finger positioning. And then there is her knowing expression as she watches him dance with Rita. Also, earlier in the film she "just happens" to be in the right place and right time to confirm for a confused Phil at the start of his second time through the loop, that it is indeed still Groundhog Day.
Maybe or maybe not responsible, but she might have sensed/knew of the loop in some way. Definitely an intriguing one. We might add in, in his piano lessons her comment - 'are you sure this is your first lesson Mr Connors?' before his father as the piano mover quip. It clearly wasn't, and she knew it, and it's seemingly played for a smile on the surface - but this brings another angle anew on that comment. I wonder if Richard Kelly in Donnie Darko thought of this film as well - the Manipulated Living is one from that film that might fit this one as well...
some guys look at this glass and say its half full, and other guys look at this glass and say its half empty. i bet youre a half empty kinda guy, am i right?
The days we actually have in life are even better. We have decades of days that are causally connected. Imagine what you could do if you put your mind to it.
the problem is that this kind of proficiency takes a lot of time , and considering we dont have much, most of us are lucky enough if they ever reach this level on something they like...
@@ExcitingOnion at fifty-two seconds into the clip he starts playing "Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini". Here is the version of the song in the movie "Somewhere In Time" ruclips.net/video/T6mckTqHi0s/видео.html
There should be another prequel movie that goes into detail about why the citizens of this town dance to a different song than the one playing. It's eerie.
Notice how several beautiful actresses gave their one great role playing opposite him? You can see him startle them into genuine emotions. He and Kevin Spacey were the great actors of their generations. Murray deserved the Academy Award for Lost in Translation, but he's still immortal because of this unique film. It has slowly become an American classic, the way It's a Wonderful Life and Wizard of Oz slowly did. If you meet someone who hasn't seen Groundhog Day you're surprised, and tell them, sincerely, "You really should." You even pity them a little.
Meanwhile, in the most profound part of Hades: "Let's make this a reboot!" - "No, let's make a sequel!" - "Even better, let's make a franchise!". That is the current pathetic state of Hollywood.
They messed up when the teacher said "He's my student." From her perspective, he's a guy who just walked in to her life earlier in the day, already proficient in music.
If I were stuck in a time loop, It would take me a 900 x 10^G64 years to learn the phockin piano.,,or heck, anything at all. Which is more that I can say in my lifetime.
Okay, fellow Somewhere in Time fan, that was not part of John Barry’s music for that movie, it is part of Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Sergei Rachmaninov. It was written many years after the time he went back to, which is why she didn’t recognize it when he was humming it in the rowboat. That may be why she knew he was from the future, and went looking for him late in her life. “Come back to me” is still one of my favorite movie lines.
It bothers me a bit to see comments bordering on cruel about the piano teacher's line. While Phil plays quite well, he is certainly capable of learning more from a teacher -- just like many professional musicians (many of us seek out teachers for continued study, or, at the very least for avoiding bad habits). It is perfectly logical that, having periodically visiting her over his years of Groundhog Days (he would only need to make occasional visits as he slowly worked towards his boogie woogie plus a bit of Rachmaninoff goal), he stops by to ask her to be his teacher, and then invites her to see him sit in with the band that night. In her excitement, in the moment at the dance, she can't help but brag a bit -- little knowing that, over years, she really was his teacher (which is very touching to think of). The piano teacher is also consistently clapping on the 2 & 4, so she definitely gets the benefit of any doubts, in my book (other than the brief moment showing her and Rita clapping on 1 & 3, which may be an editing/syncing error).
No, it's not perfectly logical that he saw her that day, having done all the other important things (young man from the auto club, feed the old man, caught the boy in the tree, saved the patron from choking, etc.), leaving little time to visit. Under what pretense could he enlist her services, for she would recognize immediately his abundant talent. The writers just messed up.
The piano teacher's response should have been - he is so good! He can sit in with the band anytime! In all likelihood, she wouldn't even have seen him that day until they were there at the party ¿`_
I can only bring myself to watch this movie once in a while as the price of admission is very high. It forces me to reflect on my own life, the missed opportunities, the wrong decisions and to ask myself if I am a better person today than I was yesterday. and as time passes, those questions only become even more poignant. This is not a movie for the feint of heart. Yeah sure, the first half of the movie is a good ride and plenty of laughs but by the end I am a sobbing catatonic mess.
Sad for you, Hollywood seeks to cause misery, especially to men. Women can whore around and manipulate, always narcissistic, but they get the princess treatment. Wake up to reality, they use us, that's all. Cheer up too, play some sports, give some food to the homeless.
My dad asked me how long I thought it would take a person to learn to play piano like that. The answer is one year. Dennis Quaid didn't know how to play piano before being cast as Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire. Jerry Lee taught him how to play like him in ONE year.
That is absolutely true. You can get surprisingly good after one year. But to become a true master still takes 5 to 12 years, depending on the person and amount of daily practice. It's just you keep getting diminishing returns on practice. You get like 60% to master after year one, then every year after that you get less and less improvement. Probably the same with most skills and instruments.
It's different when you're training just to play one or two specific things as opposed to being good enough to play all kinds of stuff. Reminds me of "The Kid Who Batted 1000"
If you look carefully at his hands during the wide shots you can see that Bill is actually playing the right sequence of keys. Now, I don't know if he performed all of those songs by himself, but he at the very least learned the song well enough to hit the right notes at the right time. Way better and more immersive than the fake mashing of keys other movies consider "playing."
Yeah, I feel the same way about actors faking riding motorcycles, rock climbing, working a cash register, flying helicopters, skydiving out of airplanes, getting punched in the face, having great sex in steamy locations, getting shot and being blown to pieces. They look so ridiculous if they can't do all that stuff for real. So there!
No sequel required. This movie is perfect.
Except for the fact that Bill Murray and Andie whatever are in it. And the piano teacher's horrid dancing.
It had many sequels in 1 film
Like The Princess Bride.
Absolutely
Oh, I thought they'd be making President's Day for sure....
"He's my student!" - She thinks she has only given him one lesson, and it makes her look as if she is taking credit for Phil's skill, but she IS actually the one that taught him everything he knows. That makes me so happy to know.
Yeah... But to her she's taking credit for his skill so she doesn't even realise she's correct. To herself she's being an asshole. Makes ya think

How about repeating the same day for 10,000 years? According to the book its based off of thats how long he was stuck.
He is god. Small g
Nah, the loop will destroy you mentally if your not prepared
Just lock yourself in an apartment for 10 years and cut off the connection to internet, news, tv. and you're halfway there!
Took him 33 years of the same day but he finally found the secret to true love to just be a good man plus ice sculpting and playing the piano did help 😂😂😆

Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania had a bombing nightlife for a tuesday!
That little move she makes at 1:29, gets me EVERY time!
So only a remake of Soviet 1988 movie "Зеркало для героя" ("A mirror for the hero").
Amo esa película!
0:43 oh THAT'S where your intro comes from
It bothers me a bit to see comments bordering on cruel about the piano teacher's line. While Phil plays quite well, he is certainly capable of learning more from a teacher -- just like many professional musicians (many of us seek out teachers for continued study, or, at the very least for avoiding bad habits). It is perfectly logical that, having periodically visiting her over his years of Groundhog Days (he would only need to make occasional visits as he slowly worked towards his boogie woogie plus a bit of Rachmaninoff goal), he stops by to ask her to be his teacher, and then invites her to see him sit in with the band that night. In her excitement, in the moment at the dance, she can't help but brag a bit -- little knowing that, over years, she really was his teacher (which is very touching to think of).
The piano teacher is also consistently clapping on the 2 & 4, so she definitely gets the benefit of any doubts, in my book (other than the brief moment showing her and Rita clapping on 1 & 3, which may be an editing/syncing error).
No, it's not perfectly logical that he saw her that day, having done all the other important things (young man from the auto club, feed the old man, caught the boy in the tree, saved the patron from choking, etc.), leaving little time to visit. Under what pretense could he enlist her services, for she would recognize immediately his abundant talent. The writers just messed up.
In case anyone is wondering. That’s a simplified version of rachmaninov’s 18th variation.
Wait, why did Phil keep going to piano lessons after learning this much? That means he kept interrupting that young girl's lessons.
The piano teacher's response should have been - he is so good! He can sit in with the band anytime! In all likelihood, she wouldn't even have seen him that day until they were there at the party ¿`_
I can only bring myself to watch this movie once in a while as the price of admission is very high.
It forces me to reflect on my own life, the missed opportunities, the wrong decisions and to ask myself if I am a better person today than I was yesterday.
and as time passes, those questions only become even more poignant. This is not a movie for the feint of heart.
Yeah sure, the first half of the movie is a good ride and plenty of laughs but by the end I am a sobbing catatonic mess.
Sad for you, Hollywood seeks to cause misery, especially to men. Women can whore around and manipulate, always narcissistic, but they get the princess treatment. Wake up to reality, they use us, that's all. Cheer up too, play some sports, give some food to the homeless.
Like life, it is beautiful.
The most realistic thing about this movie is how shitty that little synthesizer sounds playing Rachmaninoff. 🤣
Does anyone here know what kind of sunglasses bill has on?! Those are some fancy shades with the side shields! I want me a pair of those
this film is a how to list for what ALL front bums want men to do for them.
Fall short... and your kicked to the kerb.
They didn’t even need actors for this film, this is just Pennsylvanians in their natural state
What if we all had the time to become the best version of ourselves? What is aspiration?
This was the last "perfect" day, wasn't it? So if he had a paino lesson on the last day, does that mean he also robbed the bank that day too?
If there's even a mote of truth to this movie, the woman involved is going to suffer a meaningless life. Just one mote.
Movie is based on Buddhist theology unless I'm mistaken
My dad asked me how long I thought it would take a person to learn to play piano like that. The answer is one year. Dennis Quaid didn't know how to play piano before being cast as Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire. Jerry Lee taught him how to play like him in ONE year.
That is absolutely true. You can get surprisingly good after one year. But to become a true master still takes 5 to 12 years, depending on the person and amount of daily practice. It's just you keep getting diminishing returns on practice. You get like 60% to master after year one, then every year after that you get less and less improvement. Probably the same with most skills and instruments.
@@ThatFadedAsian do you believe in 🎅?
If you get taught by him.
Phil wasn't taught by him
To play like this? One year, sorry, no. More like ten, and that's with a lot of practice. Jerry Lee Lewis is way simpler than what he's playing.
It's different when you're training just to play one or two specific things as opposed to being good enough to play all kinds of stuff.
Reminds me of "The Kid Who Batted 1000"
He spent so many days trying to win her affections, then finally learned to become the man she wanted.
Andie McDowell needed some serious teeth whitening in those days.
I'm surprised this movie isn't on the BBC more often, they love repeats...
Love this movie instant classic. It's the type of movie that if its on every night you could watch it every night and it not get old.
I've watched this movie a hundred times see?
Bill Murray is a comedic genius.
This Rachmaninoff rendition I am not familiar with😂
Beings me to tears the labor of love 💗
If you look carefully at his hands during the wide shots you can see that Bill is actually playing the right sequence of keys. Now, I don't know if he performed all of those songs by himself, but he at the very least learned the song well enough to hit the right notes at the right time. Way better and more immersive than the fake mashing of keys other movies consider "playing."
He definitely did play it all himself in the EARLIER scene at the piano teacher's house.
Wow, this is cool to know. Credits to Bill!
He’s getting a lot of range out of that 61 key Korg M1, which sounds nowhere near as close to a grand piano as the recording.
God bless KORG M1.
I always loved this movie. This was one of my favorite scenes. I'm a musician myself, The Korg M1 was one of the first keyboards I played. CLASSIC 🔥🔥
Me with moonlight sonata 3rd mov
Being a musician, it's always burned my toast that the people miming on instruments look so ridiculous. So there!
Yeah, I feel the same way about actors faking riding motorcycles, rock climbing, working a cash register, flying helicopters, skydiving out of airplanes, getting punched in the face, having great sex in steamy locations, getting shot and being blown to pieces. They look so ridiculous if they can't do all that stuff for real. So there!
Oh... like they say in this movie, don't spoil it..
Actually, at least in the scene at the piano teacher's house, Bill Murray is NOT faking it at all.
1:04 Getelman says Rachmaninov?
what is the song at 0:54 ? thanks very much
While it’s great that he gave her credit for teaching him how to play, it means that the girl still got kicked out of her lesson.
Repeatedly was kicked out for who knows how many years he was there.
what is the guy with the bass whispering?
this dude has 10000 hours in game.
Nice that like Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c, he took advantage of the time loop .
I would have kissed Carter too. Who wouldn't? Sexual assault these days though.
No one could do it like Bill Murray lol
