In the picture above, "Groundhog Day" (1993) is also the last ref of the film, "The Day of the Groundhog"——
The long-awaited "Happy Death Day" selection was released in China on February 2, just like the global LOGO that flashed three times in the opening scene, or the final "Groundhog Day" ref, which is an even more unexpected artificial easter egg.
In China, the raising of the second dragon on the second day of the lunar calendar is called "Spring Plowing Festival" and "Farming Festival". In the West (mainly in North America), the raising of the head is not a dragon but a groundhog. They call the 2nd day of the Gregorian calendar. It is called "Groundhog Day" and it is also a farming festival.
It is believed that on the morning of February 2nd, the hibernating groundhog will stick its head out of the cave. At this time, if the groundhog can see its own shadow, then there will be 6 weeks in winter in winter. End; but if it can't see its own shadow, then spring will come soon. The farmers then decided the time of sowing according to the behavior of the groundhogs.
The custom of allowing groundhogs to predict the weather is said to have originated in the German colonies of southeastern and central Pennsylvania in the 18th to 19th centuries. The earliest written record can be traced back to 1841, and it has a history of more than 100 years.
Many regions in Canada and the United States have similar traditions every year. Wilton, Canada, and some areas in Wisconsin, USA, have similar traditional festivals. The most famous one is probably the town of Pukettoni in Pennsylvania (or translated as Pusutani, that is, "The Groundhog" Groundhog Day where the story took place). The groundhog who works as a "predictor of spring" in the small town of Puketoni is named "Punxsutawney Phil...Phil" (the name of the character played by Bill Murray in "The Day of the Groundhog").
Although every year is called "Phil", in fact every year is a different groundhog.
Similarly, the groundhog in Staten Island in New York City is called "Chuck", the groundhog in Georgia is called "General Beau Lee", and the groundhog in Washington is called "Potomacfield". (Potomac Phil)...... This kind of image is reflected in the image in the similar setting story, the moral is like " Although it is the same person every time, but in fact it is not, there will be new changes every time . "
In 2004, "Groundhog Day" remakes a bird version of Groundhog Day. It is about an Italian TV star who came to a small island in Spain for making a documentary about stork and then day after day. Stuck on August 13-
When Bill Murray was stuck on February 2 for 4576 days (or 12,403 days in another way), " 12:01 ", which was released in the same year as "Groundhog Day," was repeated day after day. One day fell on April 27th--
Compared with the romantic comedy of "Groundhog Day", the murder and suspense elements involved in " 12:01 " may represent the romance of this kind of " reset setting " film——
In comparison, "The Day of the Groundhog" may be more harmless to humans and animals like in "Westward Journey"——
...
When "Groundhog Day" was released, it seemed to have been accused of plagiarizing " 12:01 "... However, since Shengyu He Shengliang, " 12:01 " is really a very underestimated " type sample ".
At the beginning, the other American drama we mentioned day after day was a American drama——
It was cut in half because of low ratings. The story is about a black police detective who is accused of murder, and then he gets stuck in the same day day after day, trying to find the truth. I think that if the protagonist was cast during the day, or it was broadcast two years later when Obama took office, the drama might have a longer life.
In fact, there are many reserved single episodes of this kind of "day after day" setting in animation or American dramas, especially in science fiction dramas, like TVA " Galaxy Boy " and " Space Dany " produced by BONES. "Mouse Day Collection", a certain episode (S 614) in the "X-Files" is also particularly famous——
There is a line in it that can very well summarize the creative intention of the " Doomsday Judgment " in this type of film :
Like the "Horror Cruise" we mentioned earlier, there are also things like these-
They allow the protagonist to enter a certain mode of " continuous death " in time or space , to find opportunities and reasons for life... From another perspective, it is like the interpretation in "Life and Death": this can be understood as one kind of near-death experiences -
But for me, the day of the groundhog, my enlightenment is to borrow the lines from the collection of the day of the groundhog (S605) in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"——
Therefore, we need to turn around like the heroine of "Happy Death"——
Finally, due to time constraints, I especially recommend a five-minute short film——
