Does anyone know what the meaning is behind the movie Groundhog Day?

Answer 1

Life is as worthwhile as you make it.

Ah...and seize the day. :)

Answer 2

Well for starters, you seem to ask the question every day rather than every month. Additionally, there's simply no way to convince you because you want absolute positive proof that you can understand, and that doesn't exist. For one thing, it's not proven that global warming is primarily caused by humans. There's simply sufficient probability that scientists are extremely confident in making this conclusion, but you clearly require 100% certainty and proof which is essentially impossible to attain. The reason scientists are so certain of their conclusions is because they can model global warming and its causes. The models don't fit the results until you take into account human causes of global warming, and the models show that these human causes are the primary contributors. For example, a study by NASA and the Dept. of Energy claims to be the "smoking gun" that global warming is primarily caused by humans. Their reason for concluding this? "The 0.85-watt figure corresponds well with the energy imbalance predicted by the researchers’ modeling of climate change through a supercomputer, the report said. {...} Significantly, those emissions have increased at a rate consistent with the detected energy imbalance, the researchers said. 'There can no longer be genuine doubt that humanmade gases are the dominant cause of observed warming,' said Hansen, director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. 'This energy imbalance is the ‘smoking gun’ that we have been looking for.'" Full article linked below. The data fit their model accurately. If you're not convinced by these models, and you're not convinced by the fact that over 90% of experts are convinced by these models, then you're not going to be convinced, so stop asking for proof. That's the best you're going to get, because it's what the experts' concensus is based on - the fitting of data to climate models. There is of course lots of other evidence, but that's what makes the conclusion so convincing.

Answer 4

I woke up today thinking I am living the movie Ground Hog Day. Note it is not the first time I woke up thinking that, but today was different. I had this rush of thoughts and a moment of clarity about the movie and about my life. I'm now thinking that what I once thought was a funny but annoying movie is now a masterpiece. It is well thought out with deeper sensitivity to changing your life than what it appears on the surface. Everyone knows it's about getting life right in order to be able to move on and get out of your rut. Once you do this you will find happiness, but you are the one who has to make it happen.
When I awoke today I found myself worrying about the same things I wake up thinking about everyday and thinking that I will be able to do something that will help, that will change the things that I " think" I am so concerned about. So everyday I try to do something different, but when I get up the next day I'm thinking and feeling the same thing again. Like the movie, until I figure out that the change goes much deeper than what it looks like on the surface. I need to embrace the activity, not go through the motions of what I think I need to change, but truly change from the heart. Like the movie it is easy to try to put patches on things to try to improve the situations but until you really wrap your mind around the change and internalize what that means you are bound to continue to experience the same emotions and issues everyday. Nothing is ever really fixed by glazing over the surface. If you really want the change you must go deeper. I believe we all struggle with this on some level. The movie and watching it is a metaphor in itself. We watch, we laugh, we think we get that he is a jerk and he has to embrace a different attitude and way of communication that matches in order to get out of the rut of reliving the same day. The fact that I watched this and until today never really took the message to heart is part of the message. Now what? How do I dig in and find the root? I want to wake up thinking of different and more enjoyable things. I haven't seen that movie in probably over 20 plus years. I think I will watch it again today. I have no idea why I am compelled to write this today. I rarely write on blogs, but this was a beyond strong revelation this morning that I felt I had to share. When I did a search on the movie I was surprised to find no one had already shared these thoughts. "Wake up" world and make your own new day! This includes me.

Answer 5

The meaning is to get out of the same habits that we have every day, stop being so repetitive and change. and that's exactly what bill did. love that movie

"can I get some flapjacks"

Answer 6

I watched the movie when I was quite young. the guy experiences the same day over n over again n fixes the mistakes he makes each time.soooo, I guess it means that u should live each day more n more.n value every single day that u have? something like that...

Answer 7

I suppose the meaning behind it is what you would do if the same day kept repeating itself.

The main character gets to relive the same day until he "gets it right". Overall, it changes his outlook on life itself and how he's been treating other people.

And it's hilarious.

Answer 8

Laughter

Answer 9

Carpe Diem, seize the day.

Answer 10

Does it even matter?! That movie was extremely hilarious and Bill Murray is just a god among men in that film.

Answer 11

It means that in order to get the girl, you have to go over the same thing time and time again until you get it right.
