"I did a stupid thing today, met two turtles, said N stupid things, and missed the fucking affair, I really do not regret it. If I can come back today, I will avoid the turtles, and I will get hold of Aventure, I will live a perfect life..." Okay, God has moved God sincerely, and God has fulfilled your wish, so that your tomorrow will be a repeat of today, and all people and things will be reproduced as they are; you will no longer be Feeling uneasy about uncertainty, you will no longer regret for doing stupid things, you can correct all your faults; to some extent, you control the world, you are the only sane creature... "Oh, really Is it true? I wish this day it was me and my little lover walking on the beach, holding hands in the afterglow of the sunset, looking at each other affectionately..." Hey, wake up, kid, don't take an inch.

"Groundhog Day" is just such a movie, a very profound comedy that takes you to realize your wish of "going back to the past and being immortal". The TV weather forecaster Phil, played by Bill Murray, is bitter and self-righteous. He is the lucky or unlucky person. When he woke up, he realized that everything around him was a repeat of yesterday. At first, he was nervous and at a loss; then he was ecstatic, because he had the power to control everything: picking up a girl became easy, and grabbing a bank was as easy as picking up trash. Life can finally be designed and controlled. The fear caused by uncertainty has completely disappeared. Laws, responsibilities, morals, and all the fucking restrictions are all hell, fuck all the standards, no matter what disaster is caused, tomorrow At six in the morning, everything started again. Finally, one day, he became bored, lamenting that everything he did was in vain. At dawn, everything ceased to exist. He crashed, jumped, hanged, self-immolated, and killed himself... Tried all suicide methods, but At six o'clock tomorrow morning, the nightmare will begin again.

Lincoln said: Most people can be happy as long as they make up their minds. Li Ao said: Living happily is only a technical problem, and we can get rid of unhappiness on a technical level. Phil is a wise man. He began to change his life habit of taking destruction for pleasure. After all, the pleasure of demolishing a house is not as good as building a house. He began to help others for pleasure. Fading; he began to read books, learn to play piano, learn ice sculpture... as William James said, he developed all his potential. He became gentle, friendly, helpful, versatile, and became the most popular bachelor in the town. Love, of course, also got it.

The movie starring Bill Murray is interesting. Needless to say, this movie is also very enlightening. Isn’t our life a repetition of today? In a sense, we are luckier than Phil. We are infinitely different. Tomorrow. Everything depends only on one's own attitude, and the environment is not any obstacle at all. Lamenting the shortness of life and regretting the past are manifestations of insufficient wisdom. They are of no use except to make people unhappy and waste the time that can make oneself "multi-talented." Determined to get rid of the negative emotions below the horizontal line, this is "just a technical problem."

    Although the male protagonist keeps emphasizing on making every day meaningful, in terms of the critical point set by the screenwriter to break the eternal return, the film inevitably slips into a typical Hollywood heroic narrative because the ending has already deviated. The original existential presupposition has turned into an American-style declaration of values ​​that uses "superpowers" to help others live. The heroine's love is the ultimate boss that needs to be overcome to break the cycle. In the program of the game, die again and again and start again with the previous experience until the game is cleared, and then continue to live with the superficial truth learned How superficial!
