When Phil wakes up he is surprised to see that it is February 2 again, and the day's events follow exactly like they did the day before.

    Analysis Of The Movie Groundhog Day

    To be sure, no lesson provides an authenticity and durability as that gained through first-hand experience. However, if the world's destiny hinged upon the inevitability of personal experience learned through tangible performance, there would undoubtedly be a continuous recycling of mistakes, misadventures, and catastrophes throughout history. As a result, societal advancement would be limited to the knowledge gained and exercised in a lifetime. Imagine every generation being left to repeat essentially the same process in a perpetual state of affairs. In the 1993 movie Groundhog Day, the protagonist (Bill Murray) had to repeat the same day over again, scores of times, in order to gain enough information to break out of an inexplicable cycle…

    Groundhog Day Anthropology

    Groundhog Day is a very interesting and entertaining movie about a meteorologist who becomes trapped in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. It stars the hysterical Bill Murray as Phil Connors, a sarcastic Philadelphia weatherman who is far too full of himself. He travels with the entourage of cameraman Larry, Chris Elliott, and his lust interest Rita, played by Andie MacDowell. Phil lives through the same day, Groundhog's day, repeatedly with no consequences. Each time around he does things a bit differently, yet little is changed. Strangely enough, the movie applies to what we are learning in religion class.…

    Analysis Of The Movie The Departed Jack's Opening

    The movie starts with a text saying: Boston some years ago. That let us know where we are. The first shot is a fight, the camera is very unstable. That makes it all more chaotic. We get different shots of what’s going on, the police, the bus with a broken window, a black man speaking. I feel like the cameraman takes us around, and we kind of get in the middle of it all. I believe this is a demonstration from the 60’ies for/against the black people or something.…

    Independence day

    Today is certainly a day of joy for us, but on this celebration of independence we also feel pain in our hearts because our families and ancestors had to face devastation. Lebanon was once torn by attacks and invasions from countries and it was once crying from pain and war. We have witnessed bloodshed, a lot of people died and suffered, a lot of people were separated from their families, and lots of tears were shed. Despite this suffering, the Lebanese found solace in getting our independence. So we stand here today to celebrate this golden day in our country. This day is celebrated on a very large scale just to tell our young generation about the value of Independence Day when we can live together without any fear or conflicts. We as Lebanese citizens, have to thank our freedom fighters and Lebanese soldiers for their sacrifices. We all have to appreciate their tough mission, because if it hadn’t been for them, we wouldn’t be here today. Thank You.…
