Classics have the potential to be replicated, and the comedy "Palm Springs" on Hulu can be seen as the Mojave 2019 version of Bill Murray's masterpiece "Groundhog Day" (1993). The Mojave Desert, which covers California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, is very much of the American West, feeling like Mars during the day and the back of the moon at night.
The name of the film, Palm Springs, is taken from a city on the edge of the desert. The story is about the chemical reaction between the bridesmaid's boyfriend and the bride's sister in the process of attending a wedding. The two eventually surpassed the secular prejudice against cheating and achieved a physical and, more importantly, spiritual fit. Outdoor or indoor. Weddings are very common in American movies. People need a suitable scene for cheating, promiscuity, jealousy, family and friends bumping into each other.
The apparent difference between the two films is that Bill Murray in Groundhog Day wakes up every morning to Bob Dylan sung by the alarm clock, while Andy Samberg's eyes are open in close-up in Palm Springs open, but the essence of life is the same, that is, every day is an endless repetition, an endless cycle. The audience may be forced to think of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Heidegger, and the emptiness of existence pervades. There are only two options. The male protagonist accepts his fate and tries to survive in compromise. The heroine tries her best to break free, including doing good deeds, or running long distances, fleeing from Palm Springs, California to Austin, Texas, or even committing suicide, but in the end she finds that the cycle is still the same, and a new day still repeats yesterday.
