Response to Groundhog Day

Groundhog day is a terrific movie. It is about Pittsburg weatherman Phil Connors dispatched to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to cover Groundhog Day. While there, Connors falls into a loop of living the same day over and over again until he turned a new leaf. The loop ended after Connors realized that the needs of others are more important than only fulfilling his own and falls in love while transcending. This movie is fantastic. 

Groundhog day made me reflect on what falling in love is. 

Falling in love is not superficial. Falling in love is two like-minded people who connect seamlessly like Lego bricks. Falling in love is taking care of yourself and selflessly taking care of the people around you, no matter what walk of life they come from. Falling in love is expanding your mind on a daily basis. Falling in love is creating something not to impress others, but only yourself. Falling in love is existing happily like the moment after a mother gives birth. Falling in love is being the best human being one can be, and ultimately another becomes your biggest fan. 

I know, I know, Groundhog Day is a classic movie, and I should be ashamed for waiting until now to see this masterpiece. At least I saw the movie, and from here on I pledge to promote this film to anyone who has not seen it.
