You could go to Nepal and become a Ghurka?
I hear ya man, I live at 39 feet above sea level. Anything over 4,000 feet has an effect on me, especially while I'm out climbing or hiking. |

It's a fun movie. I loved the part of him teaching the groundhog how to drive.

That movie is a straight up metaphor for neurotic behavior, the inability to accept adulthood.
the movie depicts a man who has rejected the Pain of Life and like most people, is therefore living the same day over and over he lives in a perpetual gloomy winter he is poisoned with self-loathing and this has made him cynical and unpleasant. he keeps trying to ease his emotional pain with alcohol and other empty creature comforts he keeps rejecting the inevitability of pain and death, as symbolized by trying to keep the old man alive finally, he gives up and accepts his own mortality, he drops his obsession with childhood this lets him drop his defenses, he no longer feels the need to push people away, and he can finally enjoy the world around him, become a caring and worthwhile person. at the end, he is released from his "prison" and decides to make puxatawney his home. note that at the very end of the movie, he says, "we'll rent to start". that's him cleverly and slyly asserting his old personality. that's the real dead giveaway as to the metaphorical nature of the movie |

I don't agree on the pain and death focus. I like how Ebert puts it: There is a moment when Phil tells Rita, "When you stand in the snow, you look like an angel." The point is not that he has come to love Rita. It is that he has learned to see the angel. Simply the idea of maturing, and maybe of accepting life on its terms rather than on his fantasy's. The end of his self-indulgent juvenility, the spiritual awakening. |

Quoted: does anyone else find it ironic that there is a huge winter snow storm happening on Groundhog Day?? This cold, frigid, Arctic air. This big mass out of the north. It will meet up with all this moisture coming out of the Gulf... mix together at high altitudes and cause some snow. It won't hit us here in Pittsburgh. It will push off and hit Altoona. Close call. |
