Living in the life you live in

              The existentialism is to find out the meaning of life for themselves since everyone has different values. However, it does not mean that our actions goes without responsibility, as we grow up to an adult and desire more freedom, the more responsibility comes to us as well. Moreover, we are going to become what type of the person in the future is all about our choices in nowadays, and that’s the responsibility that we need to take for ourselves. In the movie the Groundhog Day, the weatherman Phil, is going to report the Groundhog day and he meets the snowstorm that stops him from going back home which requires him to stay in the town for one more night. However, when he wakes up in the next morning, he finds out that he gets caught in a blizzard that trapped in a time warp. He feels stressful and painful at the first couple days, and then he turns into “enjoys” his life by doing all the crazy things that he needs to consider about the consequences in the reality but not for now. After he feels in love with the girl, Rita, who is the Pd, he tries to remember all the things that she likes in order to get closer to her. However, that does not work very well. After Phil gets to know the people in the town and knows what happened in the day, he tries to help everyone to saves their life, which moved Rita and makes her falls in love with Phil. At the time that Phil thinks the time is over and all the happiness things are gone and the day is going to start over again, he finds out that he gets out from the time warp and the happiness do come true.

              In this film, the time wrap is an opportunity for Phil to find out what is really valuable for him. At first he is a person that is tried of his job, and hates the town so much. After experiences the time wrap and gets to know the people in this small town, he learns how to love and care about others, and most importantly, he turns himself into the right way to stop the time wrap. This experience helps Phil to develop himself and inspires him to show his hidden side, which is the positive side, to others. I really recommend this film since this film also let us think about ourselves. Do we really live in the right way and do we actually treat the person that we love wholehearted? That's the question the film drops to me and let me think about myself.
