Groundhog Day

I found Groundhog Day to be very entertaining and amusing. Bill Murray did a wonderful job with the jokes and the moods and it was especially interesting that there was a suicide montage. Normally people cannot die more than one time but the reliving of a single day made this possible. The reliving of the same day brings very interesting thoughts to ponder. Phil (Bill Murray) does many things that people would not try normally because he knows that he will live the day again. If I were him I would probably do the same type of thing because there are many things that I would like to do but are not practical to do if I were not to live again. Yes that last sentence was very confusing but it is an example of the repetitive nature of the film with added vagueness. More or less it was a good movie that made viewers think about how they would spend a day if they could do anything in it without any consequences.

haha i enjoyed the little suicide scenes also, was pretty awesome in that one scene where he stands behind the car and then just walks right in front of the bus. it was really terrible when you think about it but because of the movie setting and murray doing the scene, it was hilarious

i love the way you put your thoughts down on how you could and would repeat a day, very nice dan. The film definitely made you think, as you stated, about how you could live a day without consequences over and over, and through bill murrays comedy i think it was portrayed quite comedically. with his suicide montage and different ridiculous antics groundhog day definitely has been my favorite move so far, glad you liked it too.

Are you even kidding me? Your post had many good ideas, but it was nigh unreadable. You say that you're immitating the style of the movie. This may be so, but you're doing it at the cost of making your blog incoherent. Kudos

You bring across a good point, that the movie does make the viewer think about what they would do if they lived a day over and over again. Good job. And i agree, bill murry was funny.
