taxes included. And we also have a psychic groundhog. Groundhog Day, a non-holiday made internationally famous by the Bill Murray movie, is held on February 2 of every year. On this day, a groundhog, a very specific one with a human name(more on that later), emerges from its burrow, and makes a bold prediction about whether spring is just around the corner, or whether we will have to wait six more weeks for the torture of winter to end. The groundhog, sadly, does not make a calculated and well-researched
While watching the movie Groundhog Day and also keeping in mind Buddhist beliefs, I did find many similarities. The movie consists of a man reliving the same day over and over again. When it is predicted that there will be six more weeks of winter, Phil is forced to live the same life on repeat. He wants to go elsewhere and find a new life, and a place of happiness. This is where Buddhism is present in the context of Nirvana. When Phil is unable to escape this Groundhog day cycle he starts finding
feel like your living the same day over and over again? Phil Connors (Bill Murray) can relate in the 1993 film “Groundhog Day”. This film written by Harold Ramis is a romantic comedy that keeps the audience guessing, but also makes them reflect on themselves. Phil is a stuck up guy, that only worries about his own problems and doesn’t think about how he is affecting others. After visiting Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania he gets caught in a “time loop” and relives the same day over again, so many times that
feelings while making you laugh a little here and there. However, Groundhog Day is different than the modern day romantic comedies.

Phil is accompanied by Rita the new producer, and Larry the cameraman. In the film Phil has to relive the same day over and over again. When Phil wakes up the next day he is a bit confused as to why
The 1993 film Groundhog Day provides a message through a self-absorbed weatherman stuck in a time loop that changes his attitude after realizing it is his worst flaw. The philosophical idea of eternal recurrence was implemented by Friedrich Nietzsche in the book The Gay Science, and the movie Groundhog Day uses Nietzsche’s idea for its plot.

Aristotle “Happiness depends upon ourselves”. In the movie “The Groundhog Day” the main focus is to learn how to find happiness within us. Happiness according to Princeton is the state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. I agree with this definition, because in order to be happy you need to be in a well state of being. With that been said we have to look for happiness within us.
