Okay, stay with me here, but I think one of the many themes of Groundhog Day is the life-changing power of books. After his days of indulgence and days of depression, Phil Conners turns to literature and it makes him whole.

This moment shows him reading by himself, then looking around to see if anyone else‘s world changed when he read something beautiful. A quiet, simple moment. I know that moment and I bet you do too.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk One abandoned idea for the movie had Phil going to the library each day and reading a single page. By his final day through the loop he would have read every book in the library multiple times. (edited) 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I like that idea, haven‘t we all wished for that time in a library. 6y

I've been waiting 2 1/2 years to see this! Intermission now. I've never witnessed a more enthusiastic audience at a musical. The humor throughout is very Tim Minchin.

MrBook Yes! My hometown! Enjoy 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻!!! 7y

Listen up, Woodchuck Chuckers! Taking a break from my book because I've got business... in Punxsutawney. #igotyoubabe #bing
