Groundhog Day Movie
Questions:
1. In the bowling alley, Phil asks the two local drunks, “What would you do if you were stuck in one place, and every day was exactly the same and nothing that you did mattered?” One drunk replies, “That about sums it up for me.”
What does the drunk mean? Can you relate?
2. Near the end of he film, Phil delivers these lines in front of the camera and the crowd, “When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.”
What does Phil mean?
3. What had changed in Phil between his conversation in question 1 and his monologue in question 2?
