Eternal cross

This film reminded me of how terrifying human beings would be if they were nailed to the eternal cross. Today is tomorrow, there will never be February 3, only the hapless Groundhog Day.


The bitter weather forecaster played by Bill Murray encountered such a terrible thing. He tried to commit suicide in even more ways: jumping off a building, getting an electric shock, crashing a car, burning... But every day he woke up he would face that never-ending day. To make
matters worse, no matter how perfect and likable he is today, the woman he loves will always forget all this and think he is a hopeless bastard. It's as if God takes away his lover from his hand every day.


This is not a standard love movie. It discusses attitudes towards life, while Bill represents the bad habits and wanderings about life.


In the end, love saved him and made him work hard to become a truly respectable person. He tried to remember Rita's hobbies, remembering that she doesn't like white chocolate, she likes summer but she doesn't like the sea, French poetry and Rhinestone, learning ice sculpture only because
she stands in the snow as beautiful as an angel... After pursuing her once, she was forgotten by her again.


What surprised me was that Bill Murray, who was not handsome at all in "Lost in Tokyo", could be so charming, and his helplessness and affection more than deeply moved Rita. At the same time, he also told the audience a truth, it is not the love of handsome men and beautiful women that is romantic, but superb acting skills are the key to moving people's hearts.
