ReBecca Richardson: Blog 1-film

The film Ground Hog day fascinated me because of the character of Phil. He was not a very nice person, yet he was given the chance to make his life better. Also Phil never verbally asked why is this happening (at least to my recollection) he only asked what is going on. He discovered the what adter the first repeated day, and he did not elude to a higher power until the old man died and he looked to the sky, as though it might answer him. The events were interesting to watch them unfold, and I believe Phil had said a perfect day could be planned over a few years. I thought it was interesting that the time frame was not pointed to more often than it was. Again the purpose as to why Phil, why at that time, and why was he freed when he was is interesting. Maybe it was because that last day he didn't seem to be thinking of the fact that the day would go on, but rather he actully lived it, rather than partaking in the nothing he had before hand. (Lived it as in appreciated life, and the Nothing as in he didn't have much to live for beyond his own ego.)
