What is the CHANGE this movie is about? What is the Transformational Journey of this movie?<div>

A change from seeing life and everything from a negative perspectiv, hating it to appreciating and even loving it.

Lead characters:

Who is the Change Agent (the one causing the change) and what makes this the right character to cause the change?

Rita embodies positivity and seeing things in a loving way

Who is the Transformable Character (the one who makes the change) and what makes them the right character to deliver this profound journey?

Phil is unhappy and miserable to the core. We hate the way he treats others.

What is the Oppression?

The world is resistant to how he behaves, is setting up new rules. His way of being doesn´t function anymore.

How are we lured into the profound journey? What causes us to connect with this story?

We feel that it is impossible to go through life like this.

We all have moments where we hate everything. But don’t always express it. It is fun watching him be so ruthless.

Looking at the character(s) who are changed the most, what is the profound journey? From “old ways” to “new way of being.” Identify their old way: Identify their new way at the conclusion:

Old ways:

Mean to others, hating everything and everyone, being cynical, self-centered.

New ways: Caring about others in every possible way, from saving their life to just being interested and friendly.

What is the gradient the change? What steps did the Transformational Character go through as they were changing?

Rita shows him a different, joyful perspective on the groundhog.

He does not become happier with the way he behaves even when he changes things.

How is the “old way” challenged? What beliefs are challenged that cause a main character to shift their perspective…and make the change?

First he thinks he knows everything: Everything he is sure about, the weather, that his behavior works well for him, proves to be wrong. Even his knowledge about the day and tomorrow.

He has to unlearn who he is and how he acts, step by step.

He has fun. How he has fun is also changing. First through being mean to others, that through knowing no more boundaries, then through making others happy and enjoying life.

What are the most profound moments of the movie?

He is making fun of Rita in the car in a very ugly way.

The new day is the same day.

He understands that he has a choice how to behave.

He want to kill himself to stop it.

He saves other peoples lives.

Rita hits him. Then repeatedly.

He is genuinely nice to Rita.

What are the most profound lines of the movie?

He says he doesn’t deserve her, but he would love her forever if he could.

He says „ I am asking for help!“

He says „ I’m not gonna live by their rules anymore“.

How does the ending payoff the setups of this movie?

He hates the town. At the end he wants to live there.

What is the Profound Truth of this movie?

One always has a choice how to see the world and how to behave.

Acting with kindness and appreciation makes one a happy person.
