If you wake up one day and find that the time is still stuck on the previous day, and everything around you is frozen and played back on the same day, what would you do? Anyway, you don't have to worry about gaining weight. First, eat all the food that you don't dare to touch on weekdays. Anyway, every episode is a one-night stand. First, you will tease those young ladies who have a good impression on yourself. Anyway, everyone will lose their memory the next day. unhappy people.
After a few vents, I am very happy! Then what? This day is still in the loop, you start to think about finding true love... but you find that the goddess is on the altar, just one day is not enough for you to upgrade from a licking dog to a "family happiness" with her. companion. No matter how many tricks you have learned to flirt with girls, you can't really move the goddess in terms of temperament.
Life can be unchanged, but people's perception of time is always accumulating. When you are tired of a stable life, you begin to regain your childhood interest - the piano, start to learn ice sculpture in this cycle of winter, and occasionally write some small poems to cultivate your sentiments. Slowly, you find yourself getting accolades from many people for being good. In addition to the ecstasy, you will also be thinking "what's the use of me wanting all this fame?"
The external pursuits of money and praise have all been satisfied, and you begin to break away from the limitations of "self", to treat the world with compassion, and to find the meaning of life in devotion. By this time, you have become a moral model for the community, and the society will give you not only money, but also moral flags. But these are not important. What makes you most happy is that the goddess who used to be unable to ask for is now automatically attracted by your personality charm. You, successfully hold the beauty back!
That's right, that's the choice the protagonist Phil made in Groundhog Day. In one day of this cycle, he experienced excitement, ecstasy, boredom, despair, and finally, heartfelt joy. Looking back at Phil's growth trajectory, we can clearly correspond to "Maslow's Pyramid of Needs". (See the picture below) From the physical catharsis at the beginning to the final self-realization, Phil's transformation on this day is not the growth that each of us needs to experience in his life?
You don't even feel how different you are. It's such a sudden day for you, and you will choose to vent your desires first. Because no matter how "noble" we are on weekdays, we just haven't encountered the real temptation: after prostituting for nothing, everything will return to normal tomorrow, and we don't need to be responsible. For such a low-risk good thing, dare to ask which animal is the best survive? Only when people have a stable life can they talk freely about art and ideals. Including many directors and actors of the previous generation, very few planned the ideal at the beginning and then achieved it step by step. On the contrary, their reasons for entering this industry are very simple, to make money and to survive. These two sentences are inseparable from the ideal, which only came after the material level of our generation improved.
Therefore, Phil's growth can basically be true for most people. Isn't our life a cycle of one day? It's just that the dramatic expression of the film makes it easier to see clearly. If I have to get some inspiration from this commercial entertainment film, it is to keep growing, try new things in the changing mood, and finally reach a reconciliation with this cycle of life and achieve inner peace.
