Groundhogs Day


Happy Groundhogs Day everyone! And in celebration of one of the most looping movies ever, I make this post. The film Groundhogs Day, with Bill Murray, while a comedy, at its core has a pretty meaningful message. If you don't know, Bill Murray, is a news reporter, and you get the feeling that he's kind of a jerk. Ok..he's a big jerk. He gets caught up in the time loop that causes him to repeat the same day, groundhogs day, for weeks. He soon comes to enjoy his fate, but quickly realizes that his life won't move on... He tries to commit suicide multiple times, but to no effect, he just wakes up to the same loop. One of my favorite scenes, is that he befriends an elderly homeless man, and he takes him in, buys him hot soup, keeps him warm for the night, but he ends up dying anyway. So the next night, he goes back to the same homeless man (who's alive again, cause the days repeat) and tries to help him again, but he still ends up dying. The nurse who takes in the man's body, tells Bill Murray, "it was just his time to go." Anyway, if you haven't seen it, check for it on Tv today, I'm sure one of the stations will be running it. Its not the most thought provoking movie, but its nature with time, and repetition, almost required me to put up a post...

And the picture is another droste effect! Remember guys you can send in your own submissions for articles, pictures, and designs of your own artwork of loopy paradoxical structures and images! Damnthemachine09@aol.com

  2. Groundhog Day is an excellent movie. I actually watched it a few weeks ago, just because.

    If I haven't mentioned the movie Primer before, watch it. It is a brilliant time travel movie, full of loops and paradoxes.
