This movie is about a man’s tragicomedy, who lived on February 2nd over and over for a long time. On February 2nd, Groundhog Day is held every year. It is a festival, and it is said that Chuck Wood awakes from hibernation and spring comes from the day.
The main character in this movie is Phil. He works as a weather forecaster. He is sarcastic and egocentric, so he was unwilling to go to the country town and did as he liked. It was terrible. But he has good points. Once he gets absorbed in something, he does hard. And he can work to help somebody. Next is Rita. She is a program producer and she is a woman whom Phil is in love with. And there were a lot of characters in this movie.
The beginning of this movie, Phil, who is a weather forecaster, went on location to the country town for a television program on February 2nd. It is Groundhog Day that is a festival for spring. It was in the country, so he couldn’t endure that and he didn’t work hard. After work finished, he had to stay the town because of bad weather on his way home. When he woke up next morning, he found that it was February 2nd again.
The end of this movie, he tried to escape from February 2nd. He enjoyed doing as he liked every day at first, and he found that he was in love with Rita. But he got tired of unchanging days and he was in a depressed state. Therefore he repeated suicidal acts many times, but the next day was always February 2nd when he woke up. So he began to think positively. He mastered various skills and tried to help other people who were in trouble. After he spent the day with Rita, February 3rd came at last. And they lived happily forever.
I liked this movie, but I also got tired of repeating the same day. This movie tells us that we couldn’t get happiness even if we pursue in our mind, but we could get it from other people's happiness.
