@@Dragnmastralex I'm sorry if people have called you homophobic, sexist, racist, etc. Regardless of how one person feels, calling names or labeling people is not a good way to have a discussion. I can relate to some of the things you are saying. When I was younger, I didn't understand all this lgbt stuff (this was before the term lgbt even existed). But you know, now I have family members who are gay, and I've taken the time to learn the difference between sexuality and gender, and it turns out it's really not that complicated! There are not 500 genders, there is male, female, and those who don't identify as either (nonbinary). As for sexuality well, I personally feel some people make it a bit more complicated than it needs to be, but basically it's just different variations of gay, straight, bi, or none. look, I don't know if your actually going to read this, but the bottom line is this, it's a lot less threatening when you realize it doesn't affect you at all. All that "Woke" stuff, it doesn't hurt anybody. Some of it might go over board, especially with the name calling, but who cares! Ignore it. If someone thinks their baby is gay (I agree that's would be silly) again who cares! Not your business! You actually causing your self suffering by getting so emotionally invested. I"m sure you have enough of your own problems without worrying what other people are doing. ya?

@@Dragnmastralex What people actually try to claim their baby is gay? That makes no sense, a baby has no concept of gay or straight. The baby is neither, and when people say they were born this way (gay or straight or something else) they don't mean they knew they were when they were a baby, they just mean it's a part of them that they can't just decide to turn off. No one is born knowing they are gay or straight, that is something one discovers as one lives and grows.

For me, the old man is the most significant part of the film, that makes Phil’s growth solidify - the fact he can’t save the old man tells is he isn’t all-powerful; it gives him perspective that compassion without satisfying results is part of being human, of living life, and that it’s OK to be that way. It sells Phil not just acting kind, but BECOMING kind. The old man’s death is inevitable, but the experience makes Phil better and in turn, he betters those around him just for its own sake.

I see that there are a few of you that have a different opinion. All I will say to you is that if you think that your death is a better option than you need to get help. It's better to start that process before you need the police intervention. Also, my son bonded with the female officer that did show up that night. We ended up being escorted to Primary Children's so we could get my son taken care of due to the amount of pills he had taken. At no point in our experience was the police presence traumatizing. If you actually want a look into what the Suicide hotline actually does I recommend watching the HBO special Crisis Line Veterans press 1. You can purchase it here on KZitem for a couple of dollars.

Can I just say, I additionally love the scene with the falling kid because even though Phil knows that whatever happens will just reset itself, and even though the kid never thanks him or displays any amount of appreciation whatsoever for having his life saved, Phil still shows up day after day to save him, knowing he may never get anything out of it besides the knowledge that he did the right thing. (I mean, heck, when you live in a situation where reality literally resets itself every morning [and Phil himself has died so many times only to wake up 100% healthy the next time around], it would be easy after a while to go, "Eh, let him fall. He'll be fine again when six a.m. rolls around.") I think it's another clever way the screenwriters demonstrated how his character had developed and how he'd turned his focus away from his own comfort and towards the needs of others.

Feeling like everyday is repeating itself sounds like textbook depression. Depression is maybe most characterized by the feeling that life's texture is gone, and it's just a samey drudge with no escape but, ultimately, death. It's no coincidence that it drives Phil to attempt suicide. The plot is supernatural, but psychologically speaking, this is what life feels like for a lot of people in a bout of depression. The sameness is their hell, nothing matters. Or seems to matter. It's basically all in your perception, and it's illustrated by Phil's growth. We either see each day as an interesting and different experience, or as the never ending hell of sameness if our perception is clouded by depression.

This. As someone who battles long-term depression, it really is more like daily blah than anything. And honestly, it's not necessarily constant - you can have days or weeks or even months that you seem to be doing well, only to have a trigger happen that wakes the monster. Yet, even with depression, it's possible to have spurts of joy. It's just that after the spurts of joy, you return to blah. The baseline is blah. The thing is, though antidepressants work for some, they're not a cure-all. For me, talk therapy works a whole lot more than medicine when it comes to maintaining. Of course, there are good therapists out there, and there are horrible therapists out there. And the requirements to do therapy are varied from state to state - some states only require a short certificate program to become a licensed therapist. This, unfortunately, would be like going to a clinic because you're sick and having a medical assistant diagnose you and prescribe antibiotics. Problem is, you didn't have an infection - you had cancer. But the medical assistant didn't have the ability to understand that, because he/she didn't have the background knowledge to diagnose you properly. Social Workers are like the Nurse Practitioners of therapists, and Psychologists are like doctors... well, they technically ARE doctors, just not the medical kind (they have Ph.Ds or Psy.Ds). But even with the education, you need to make sure that your therapist and you are a good fit. And honestly, develop a decent enough relationship with your therapist so that he/she can challenge you. That's what I really like about my therapist - she listens, sure, but she knows I'm smart enough to figure out the answers myself - she just guides me in the right direction.

I believe I haven't watched it again since my early teenage years, so it should be very interesting to do so now that I am 23 and defnitely have a lot more context for everything that's happening in it.

In a way, Phil is like Sysyphus. As Sysyphus does the same thing over and over again, Phil relives the same day seemingly endlessly. Albert Camus argued that Sysyphus is a happy person because he "has a purpose in life". I remember that in school, we were to discuss Camus' statement in ethics class. I remember I argued that Camus was wrong in so far, that an excercise or a task is not the same as a purpose and that it depends on Sysyphus whether or not he sees his task (rolling the big rock up the hill just to see it roll right down and start all over again) as "purposeful" or not. My conclusion was that we cannot say whether or not he (Sysyphus) is a happy person just because he has a task or routine and that the gods chose this punishment for him as exactly that - punishment, because routine and living a neverending boring life is something that feels like hell for most people. Interestingly enough, I was like 15 or 16 and until then, didn't really have a proper job, but somehow I could already sense back then what the reality of the job market looked and felt like, lol. Anyway, I think it was in the LOTR video when Jonathan pointed out that if life has no meaning, it means that you have to give life a meaning and I think that really sums up both stories, Sysyphus and Groundhog Day. Sometimes it really seems we are stuck in a situation, uncomfortable, maybe even senseless, meaningless and without any goal or end in sight. So though we might have a job, a task, or even though we don't starve to death physically or whatever, sometimes we still may feel starved emotionally, intellectually, mentally and unhappy. And then all we can do is find meaning, and fill our days with as much joy and excitement as we can. Phil does that by learning new things and I assume he re-discovers his joy in learning and interest in new things that he probably had before, but lost somewhere in his life due to routine, boredom, etc. In a way, Phil was already in a Sysyphus situation before (I assume), however, it was only becoming apparent when he started to live in the Groundhog day timelapse.

Cinema Therapy I thought y’all did a great job using that particular movie and generalizing it to make it so relatable to what we are going through in our every day lives now. I’m telling you, the emotions are everywhere! First I was determined to be the best home school teacher, while trying to figure out how to do my real job of teaching others. Then the second week hit with guilt and it was not so easy. Now that we are In the last couple of weeks, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. So I do feel so much better! I will definitely watch one again! I’m an GenXer all the way! Love those classics! Take care! 🤟🏻🤗😳

As a holder of an associate degree in video production and as an individual with more than a mild interest in psychology, I was quickly drawn to this channel. I can greatly appreciate the how's and why's of your content and the two of you have a great dynamic on screen together. It is also refreshing to know that you are both strong and proud men of faith not timid to use that viewpoint in your commentaries. I would like to recommend, for your channel, the movie Second Hand Lions. If you're not familiar, it is a coming-of-age story loaded with opportunity for psychological commentary from multiple points of view, including the main character as a young teen AND as an adult looking back on his life's experiences. There's also the points of view from his uncles who guide him and help him develop into the man he has become, not to mention the reaction of some other family members as well as various other town members. Your take on this film would be most entertaining to watch.

Like the original ending was Phil finally wakes up to a new day and is all excited, and Rita rolls over with a groan... because that's the day she's been repeating for who knows how long.

As someone who's both gone through a failed suicide attempt and has dealt with numerous suicide cases coming into the ER, I need to say this. I appreciate what you're trying to do. Your break downs of movies are fantastic, and including the psychological component is a great take. But this couldn't be more misinformed about what's going on in someones head when they're suicidal. If you want to reach out, that's great, but it needs to be in a way they'll hear and understand. Another reminder that people don't understand what they're going though and will use that as a way to make themselves feel good is just another painful reminder to the person contemplating suicide; yet more justification for it.

@@mikshinee87 I think you missinterprate beeing alone with beeing lonely. I enjoy beeing alone and I have intrests that allows me to do this. I read, I write, I play games and make art. I am not "unproductive" or boring. I just dont like spending a lot of time with people, heck it can even give me headaches if I spend more than 2h with 6people. My life isnt boring as you seems to belive, its just diffrent from yours. I didnt complain about your lifestyle, I simply stated that Im having a great time since I have a legit reason people wont argue with to not do things. If you somehow got offended by this I apologice for that is never my intention to do. But I will not apologice for actually beeing happy and relaxed due to no social preassure from extroverts :) Now, if you will exuse me, its time for me to watch dog videos so have a lovely evening :D

And, while you played the scene that was the key to the meaning of the film, it’s central message, you missed it’s import! When he unburdens himself to two locals about the meaningless repetitions of his life, one of them responds as follows: “Well, that about sums it up for me.” And this signals that Phil’s situation isn’t science fiction and doesn’t suspend reality at all! The film from this key admission makes it clear that this is the situation of mankind generally-“the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” (Thoreau) The movie is about the complete transformation of a human being, and there is nothing like it that ever came out of Hollywood! And (And!) they did it with a comedy! How amazing that is. JWC

TW: not fun talk for ppl who feel depressed. I don't think I'm in depression (anymore). I think I was a few years back and I've turned my life around to save myself since, which started with a project to live abroad for a year to change my scenery (it worked). But I have never thought my life has meaning or value. Yes I may have some small things to offer others, but the cost of me being alive far outweights the benefits. I have never and will probably never try to take my own life, because I don't wish myself to suffer, but I am not adverse to the idea of being dead. I am autistic, which is something I only learned about (and about myself) after 28 years of living and extensive research. I have realized that not knowing before, was the cause of my depression. On the other hand I found great peace and renewed my will to pursue my wishes of a quiet life during the quarantine : I was FINALLY allowed to not come to work in person, where it's crowded and unnecessarily noisy, where people treat you like discarded wrappings and everything's ugly. My mental health was good, I could rest a lot without senses and social overload, and I was as productive as ever. Be kind to people different from you, because you may unknowingly cause them immense pain and suffering when you won't accept different ways of being and interacting than what you normally see or experience.

I get his frustration 😂😂Only way out is through... This is an excellent representation of the EGO death and rebirth of a dark night of the soul which, if you do it right, eventually results in enlightenment of your soul. Being kind, Art, nature and having an excellent sense of humor and acceptance and control of your dark side are all par for the course. You'll love, then hate the ones who you love who keep hurting you, then love unconditionally...with boundaries of course.

I like the movie when I make myself ignore that the final relationship between Rita and Phil is rather disturbing within the actual timeline. I mean, we get to see his development, but if you watch the start of the movie, then after he goes to bed the night before Groundhog Day you cut straight to the last day... it's such a jarring one-day swap in character that Rita suddenly hopping into bed with immediate talk about permanently moving to the town is so hard to process as in character to her introduction.

That is a very good question. I would be bold and say, he actually might, but since he has so much time in that loop he is stuck in, my guess would be that he also has already time to process and work through the experience. Because even though he is reliving the same day over and over again is being held captive, at some point he realizes that there is a chance and power in all the possibilities that situation has to offer and in a way it is ALWAYS A NEW DAY, because although technically it's the same day, the way he spends that day and designs his future self is on him and offers various outcomes. He may be powerless in the day itself repeating itself, but he is not powerless in what he makes out of it. And when he realizes that, he is no longer a victim of the situation, he becomes a "survivor" (as you would say in trauma, which technically would be weird because he cannot really die) and eventually overcomes the situation. Therefore I would say, he would not, he already had so much time to process it while he was in there and move past it.
