the groundhog day project

taking a look at the beginning of the third revision of the screenplay with phil's boss gil and phil's 'girlfriend' stephanie decastro.

looking at how danny rubin's original script begins, the unnecessary voiceover, phil predicting phil's behavior, and how phil counted his days in the loop (and why you shouldn't).

phil gives his first weather report after saying he wants to be in a big blue nothing. time loop of the week: groundhog lays.

tao te ching, siddhartha, nietzsche, eternal recurrence, derrick jensen, ralph waldo emerson, daniel quinn, and the usefulness of memory

geographic isolation, ouspensky, nietzsche, faust, atwood, ellis, shakespeare, infinity, siddhartha, and community

daughton, nietzsche, faust, lavery, rilke, hesse

macbeth, two wolves, plato's charioteer, time loop of the week: happy death day, screenplay comparisons, nino rota, blue sky and clouds.
