This film was my favorite of the year. This romantic comdedy starts out all goofy laughs and giggles, then rolls into a film you can really think about. The story really has a strong message. That message being, if your going to care only about yourself, everyday is going to be the same, and you will miss important things in life, like friendship and love. This movie really gets this point across as Bill Murray's character makes a total 180 turn. This films uses many of the techniques we learned in class. The editing techniques really play a big role in how this movie is projected. Just in the morning scenes we can break down many aspects of different rechniques we learned in class. At first there is always an extreme closeup up the alarm clock reading 5:59, then 6:00.
Then, "iv got you babe", the musical motif by Sonny and Cher appears many, many times. Then the camera slowly pans to Bill's face. This scene always starts this way and then differenciates throughout the film. It is really cool how the editing really emphasizes different aspects of the film, and is really important to telling the story. Overall this was a GREAT film and I got two thumbs way up for it.

I think that your right about the underlying theme. I never thought about the idea of if you only care about yourself then your days will see the same. That is a really cool way of thinking about it. Sweet. I also think it was cool that everyday and all the shots were the same. Wahoo
