Phil, a pretentious, eloquent weather broadcaster with extraordinary confidence. But he was suddenly trapped on the day of the groundhog, which he hates. (ps. Groundhog Day is the Holy Candle Festival on February 2 each year.) Wake up at 6 o’clock every day to face the same character and the same job, The same situation became a prisoner for a day. At first he couldn't believe the reality, so he decided to go to the hospital to check if there was something wrong with his head or spirit. Later, I decided to do whatever I wanted under the inspiration of a drinker. Playing with the police and sabotaging official duties, but no matter what, he was detained in the police station at night and woke up at 6 o'clock the next day. He was still lying in bed and started repeating February 2. He became impatient, collapsed, and decided to commit suicide, but even if he experienced car accidents, fires, jumping from buildings, etc., he would still be safe. So he began to suspect that he was a god (not God). After experiencing various setbacks and failures, he is determined to use this "special power" to catch up with his beloved girl and his work partner, Rita. He learned everything about Rita for a long time, and finally gave all his strength in a certain angel to almost get Rita’s heart. Since Rira would forget everything that happened yesterday the next day, Phil was very impatient. This resulted in no success every time. Phil decided to change himself. He started to learn piano, gave alms to the homeless old man, bought all the insurance business of his high school classmates, helped the two ladies repair the car in time, rescued the middle-aged man choked by food, etc. These actions made him Within a day, he became the most popular person in Pusutani. It was these unexpected things that made Rita admire Phil and emptied his wallet at the single men’s auction to "buy" Phil. After coming down, Phil finally ushered in his own tomorrow.
If there is no tomorrow, what would you do today? Step by step? Do whatever you want? Or let you have the best today? As ordinary people, we are all imprisoned for a day. We live for tomorrow. We live on that day, but we think in our hearts what we are going to do today. We can live better tomorrow. We never think about whether we are living well now. Did yesterday make today better? If you live well today, tomorrow you will naturally not regret what you did today, and you will finish every day. Don’t use it to mourn the past and look forward to tomorrow. What is worth looking forward to is the next second, or a shorter time, because of changes. The time of life trajectory is usually imperceptible.
Give you the chance to spend the same day at once, you know a few people at most, you can't even remember the name of a person, you only walk once on a road, in a restaurant, we only taste one kind of food, and after a cup of coffee in a hurry, we Swallowed food but forgot its taste. Give you three chances to spend the same day. You will start to say a few more words to strangers because you want to understand a story different from yesterday. You start to chew food and drink coffee with different flavors. Give you the chance to spend the same day ten times, and you will quickly become friends with many people, as if you hit it off. You can make some changes, help others, and add a little happiness to yourself. In this way, no matter if it is for you, you will lose the same day, and you will always live each day and interpret different stories.
The story of this film is simple, there are only a few actors, and the scenes are repeated, but it won't bore you. The short story tells you the great truth of life. (Personally, I think it’s better to watch this movie in winter, and it feels warm)
