If You Were Bill Murray in Groundhog Day

[Recca Gatsby]

How long would it take you to completely lose your mind? I read that he spent 10,000 years reliving that same day over and over again.

That shyt was like hell. 2 years tops

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

He basically went through every scenario.

 

[Alpha Male]

[Recca Gatsby]

Exactly what I imagine Hell is like.

Until he starts being better, but yeah how many years till you just start killing yourself everyday though lol

Such a great film.

He was stuck in that time loop for about 8 years.

He eventually snapped, but we don't know how long it took. At a certain point I think anyone would start doing GTA type shyt just for the fukk of it.

I think Bill actually wanted to divulge into the more darker aspects of reliving the same day over again (murder, torture, robbing banks, etc), but Harold Ramis just wanted to stick to the script and avoid all of that. They actually had a huge argument over it and that (along with the fact that Bill was going through a hard divorce) is what caused them to not talk after making this movie for a long time.

I think the problem was that he was stuck in that small ass town every single time. If he was stuck in nyc. It may not be as bad cuz he could probably have new experiences every day

We've pointed out before that, according to the original script, Phil spent 10,000 years repeating the same day, but a lot changed between that version and the finished movie. And the film skips over most of it in a montage, during which Murray's character masters a number of complex skills, taking advantage of all of the extra time.

So in order to determine how many days Phil actually repeats, blogger Wolf Gnards (we hope to dear Jesus that's his real name) started by counting the ones that are shown in the film -- the answer is 36, which frankly doesn't sound that bad. Oh, but we're just getting started. The blogger then took into account lines in the movie that suggest the passage of time. For example, at one point Phil tells Rita that he has been "stabbed, shot, poisoned, frozen, hung, electrocuted, and burned" -- of those, only the electrocution was shown on screen, so, assuming all the others didn't happen at the same time, that brings the minimum total to 42 days.

Gnards then took into account the skills Phil learns throughout the movie: throwing cards was six months (according to the dialogue), robbing a bank was probably a month, playing the piano takes at least three years, ice sculpting is about the same, and learning French probably took about two. Did Phil take on all of these one at a time? Probably, since ice sculpting is pretty difficult to master, and it's not like he's in any rush.

The movie's director, Harold Ramis, actually commented on this theory, saying the estimate seemed too short and declaring that people like Gnards have "way too much time on their hands." Yeah, probably.

At around the second day, I'll cry a lot, go through some self loathing, then master everything in life (which he keeps btw)

After the curse is broken, I'm the GOAT at everything = billionaire.

Worth it.

As long as I am not confined to one town, I think I could make it work. I would definitely start by reading a lot and work on a lot of self-improvement stuff. Then I would travel to local places like Orlando or Miami to see all the different scenarios I can get into.

The only thing I would be worried about is the curse breaking after I did something truly foul and instead of waking up in bed I am in a prison cell
