Matt Brookman Ground Hog Day

Groundhog Day was a movie with Bill Murray playing the lead actor. He was a news reporter who seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. Bill Murray goes to the town to be there when the groundhog sees his shadow or not. The funny thing is after the first day of covering the event with the groundhog he goes to sleep and when he wakes up it’s the same day over and over again. This repeats over and over and Bill Murray begins to have fun with his situation and also does things to help others. How does sacred time transcend itself was a question we discussed in class concerning the film. The significance of his life becomes more of his concentration as the movie progresses. Throughout this time in the movie Bill Murray’s character goes through a slow transformation in life. The first time I watched this movie I turned it off before it was over so when we watched it in class and discussed certain aspects of the characters and the film I seemed to really enjoy what it brought to the table.
