"Groundhog Day"

A few years ago, there was a computer game called "The Legend of the Heroes of the Martial Arts", in which there was a famous Dragon Boat Festival BUG: If you choose hunting that day, the next day will be the Dragon Boat Festival. Time stops. As long as you keep choosing hunting, this The Dragon Boat Festival will not be able to go out. With this BUG, ​​players can fully practice their hunting skills.
"Groundhog Day" is about a "repeat today" story. The protagonist is an American. The weatherman of the TV station is a bit sloppy. It happened to him.
The rough title of the film: A certain state in the United States calls the day when spring comes as Groundhog Day, which means that the groundhog crosses the winter and climbs out of the dirt hole, which means that spring is coming, often on February 2 or February 3. It's like the beginning of the Spring Festival in my country, which is almost February 4th.
At the beginning of the story, be patient, otherwise it will feel a little boring-provided that you haven't watched the brief introduction of the film. This is especially the problem when watching movies. Compared to the instigation of the advertising media, or directed at the actors, directed at the director, or read the plot introduction, even if it is a one-sentence introduction-sometimes a relative understanding of the film background will promote The understanding of the film, and I prefer to watch the film without knowing the background of the film. Although the thinking after watching the film is primitive, I will not ignore the things that I think are valuable.
The movie is not just for purely satisfying the senses or imagination. Looking down patiently, you can find that the hero is stuck in a strange hole of time. Every day is February 2-Groundhog Day.
I woke up in the morning and found that today is yesterday, and it seems that there was no such thing as yesterday.
The film gives you an extreme perspective: For example, he soaked beautiful eyebrows. On the first day, he didn’t know her, and then he talked to her to know some of her situation. On the second day, it was actually the same day, and his progress was fast. Too many, know the other party’s preferences, do what they like, develop rapidly, and do anything that takes a long time in one day.
Of course, the film is not meant to tell us this, so let's watch it.
He found that this crush was too easy, and he increased the difficulty a little bit-no wonder that people are animals that have pursuits. The goal this time is for a colleague of his, a very beautiful girl. Haven't seen "Green Card" before? It was played by the horticulturist.
According to the same method, the method used is to gradually understand the other party to achieve the goal. For example, one day I know your birthday, another day asks about your preferences, another day asks about your favorite TV and even serials, and finally all of these are used in one day. On, surprising coincidence, the same hobby, please-everyone likes to be pleased.
But Meimei is very shrewd, seeing that it is a trap, and always walks away at critical moments-oh yeah!
The hero, I forgot what his name was. It seems that the name in the movie is the same as the name of the groundhog. I'm tired of this. It's like you play the same game every day and you can't pass the level.
He began to experiment with various methods to seek death. In the story, he grabbed a bank and dragged a car with the police, but plunged headlong into the valley without any difficulty. The next day is still today. Tiepi Zhong ruthlessly broke his illusion. After reading it This film, when I was going to the mall, I always paid attention to whether there were such clocks in China, but unfortunately I didn't see them for sale.
Nowadays, many American dramas say that many Americans have depression. If you put you in his state, you will be depressed if you can't help it. But there is still something to be said in the film, and it can't make him so depressed.
He started to do some good things. Later, he would go somewhere every day to help an old man, because the things that happened to others were almost fixed. Only he could change everything that happened in reality, and his life became regular and finished. For some good things he can do, he goes to learn the piano-this is a manifestation of western culture.
Those who knock on the same teacher every day talk about beginners every time, and the starting point is different every time.
Change me, what shall I learn? Elementary Accounting Training? Spanish?
He learns ice sculpting, he reads books, learns to learn, he will become a talent, he did not make any deliberate actions, won the crush of crushes, but the crush pursued him-but this confused me, why should I be Like pretty girls, she doesn't know how to play piano or ice sculpture.
On the last day, everything was so perfect. Anything that could make the protagonist shine happened, and the crush was soaked. I doubt whether this bubble and the original bubble have sublimated in their minds, or is still a simple desire. Drive it. It turns out that Meimei has always regarded him as a dumpling-my opinion is basically the same as Meimei.
Then the ending is a typical Hollywood. The tin clock resumed its normal timing function. The two chose to stay in that town-it turned out that they went to the town for business trips only for work reasons. Of course, I don’t like this ending. I chose the ending. It should be the same as Tin Bell still let him go back to February 2. With this ending, a comedy became a horror movie, and it was the only horror movie that you can watch through with a smile. When you leave the theater, a sense of fear comes to your mind.
The movie also has a name that seems to be called "Stopping Love".
From the ending of the movie, the intention of the movie can be figured out. The whole story has no reason and cannot be accepted in a very convincing manner. An extreme state reflects that the performance of the characters still conforms to a certain logic. The movie tells us that everyone’s realm is different. Perhaps the meaning of realm is not accurate. It should be the changes in people’s hearts that are the real changes, and the changes that appear on the surface can confuse some people because they confuse them. Things are not what you want. In other words, true talent cannot be replaced by opportunism. However, the real talent in the movie itself was also obtained by taking advantage of time, which is also a kind of speculation.
Playing the piano-many children of my colleagues know this.
I don't have time to learn foreign languages ​​now, because I can't buy a metal clock like that.
