It seems that luck is always ups and downs. The next day after being tortured by "The Age of Innocence", I unexpectedly opened this movie that made me sigh and admire me, and I cannot help but say that it is a kind of return: "Land Transfer" "Day of the Rat", a classic movie that is definitely worthy of endless aftertaste.
No spoilers (for friends who haven't watched it): The
choice of this movie was purely accidental, because my roommate asked him to show it to his girlfriend. And I always thought it was "Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun", so I put it silly for a long time. When I was about to delete it recently, I accidentally opened the "Verify Body", but it meant that it was a life piece. Check it on the Internet. The IMDB value is as high as 174. Therefore, like Dig Dabao, it is officially scheduled to watch today's prime time.
The main plot of the movie is that when a male anchor goes to a small town to do a show, he accidentally falls into a peculiar curse: it repeats on February 2nd. No matter what happened today, it will be back to the beginning the next day, as if pressing the "reset" key. The same thing, the same person, speaking the same thing (if you will), doing the same thing. What's even more peculiar is that, except for the male protagonist, everyone else is repeating this day without realizing it, and they still have a good time. So, the actor became the only person trapped here, what should he do?
From the overall point of view, this movie seems to be a love sketch with science fiction. I thought so at the beginning, and I also looked forward to the appearance of some characters such as "fairy godmother" and "hell Satan" to make the film. It has to be more lively. However, to my surprise, although the film made a lot of jokes, it did not reduce the level to the direction that you and I can think of. February 2 is just repeated eternally, day after day, day after day-can you imagine what it feels like? If you were the leading actor, what would you do?
Throughout the movie, you can feel love. And love is indeed a secret thread throughout the play. But I think what makes me even more amazed is that the film didn't just turn around in love. In the second half or so, you can clearly feel the change and improvement of the plot theme.
If we can only enjoy one day, how should we face it?
It's definitely worth thinking about all people who are bored with life.
Plot discussion area (for those who haven't watched it carefully):
This is not a very exciting detective film, but the openness of the ending makes our traditional experience lose its basis. Yes. You can go back to the beginning of the same day at the end of the day. What will you do?
The movie has made the most extensive assumptions here: complaining, picking up girls, robbery, strikes, hitting people, crashing, suicide (in countless ways), the protagonist PHIL has tried all of these darkest activities of mankind. To some extent, you Also "successful", because he tried everything, but did not need to bear any price. But when he put all his attention on the theme of "courtship", he encountered the most difficult situation: even if he knew all the preferences of the heroine RITA, he still couldn't get the heart and body of the beauty. Because he just wants to love to satisfy his desires. When slap after slap fell on his face, he seemed to understand something.
In this world, we always think that we are the most important, others should like ourselves, at least know ourselves. However, as a host who broadcasts the weather every day on a TV station, PHIL is not even as well-known as a mouse (groundhog) in the town. It can be seen that whether a person can be remembered does not depend on where you are from, but on what you have done for other people (even if only one person). So, my favorite segment began. After the hero’s love loss, the movie didn’t fall into the clichés. Instead, he used some bitterness in exchange for sympathy. Instead, he went slant and showed PHIL’s great changes in life. A beggar can take out all his money and run to the side of the road to catch a child who has fallen from a tree; he can touch everyone in front of the TV with touching words (even if it’s the same show day after day), he can also use The fluent piano touches the heartstrings of everyone on the dance floor.
All in all, he no longer loves himself, but completely dissolves and dedicate himself to others. Therefore, before he did not expect, he greeted everything he wanted: everything he wanted but didn't want.
Irony? But at the same time it was shocking.
The only flaw in the film is that it does not reveal the mystery of Groundhog Day. But thinking about it again, since the theme of the film has been sublimated to the meaning of life, what does it matter if it is not the answer? When the hero and heroine hug each other out of the eternal day, I also hope that I have found the deepest meaning of life.
