This guy is the master of false humbleness and sarcasm. The way he uses his eyes to act is superb.
Fun fact, in the French version, Rita was studying Italian poetry in college and Phil learns Italian for her ^^
True
Here’s another fun fact from the same movie. In real life, the actor who played Ned Ryerson was in Stevie Ray Vaughan’s first band.
Why didn’t they just stick to the script? 🤷🏼
@@Yeast85 Obvuosly they can't make fun of their own culture. No one likes to laugh at their own expense! And how do you translate French to French in a movie scene?
I thought she said “19th century FRENCH poetry”?
Wouldn't we wish we all could have retakes like in groundhog days.
But not only for 1 day in endless loop. To start over from certain day or year would be OK, you can avoid bad decisions, but then you want to go forward.
Every second of my life!!
I would like to live in the mountains, at high altitude.
Tbh,being practically immortal would have its perks. You could do so many otherwise unethical scientific experiments.
Would be nice to have a retake a few times on a day when the lottery numbers were called.
That french poem translates to:
"The girl that I will love
Will be like good wine
Which will improve
A bit each morning”
Really? well, that poem sucks.
Fits the movie well though.
That poem is awesome.
But he says it wrong
Yes but hard to understand what he says... « la fille qui j’aimera » déjà ne veut rien dire, et ensuite je comprends « un peu chaque matin »...
Listen from 1:50 with your eyes closed and wait for the punchline
lmao how did you come up with this you're amazing
How come this comment is not the most upvoted in CZcams's history?
fbi should be here then
lol
People just noticed this?
I thought it was intentional that they made it sound that way lol.
0:44 is always hilarious how Phil unconsciously laughs at Rita "wasting her time" and then tries to recover, but knows deep down "dammit, I blew it. I gotta start over."
ghostbusters Docktor venkman
First class bullshit artist.
Of course, he's right the first time, but you can't tell the truth to a girl if you want her to like you!!
Thank you for your deep explanation of the scene mysterious mystical mystery
lmao I thought it was a pretty resourceful save..
unfortunately for him, Rita's too sophisticated for that bs
Phil scrambled 1K miles to the nearest mega Library to find he most relevant French Poetry to quote. No convenience of Google or Siri to be found.
Or he could have just called a librarian to give him a romantic quote. Before Google, it was "phone a librarian".
Well he could have just learned French. It sounded like a poem that he could have written himself, so if he just learned French he could wing it. How to speak books are quite common anywhere so there'd be some around.
And he didn’t even find French poetry; he found Belgian song lyrics.
I remember watching the movie with my sister and her boyfriend.
They bursted into laughter at the first line of french
@1:45 you speak french... 'oui' - best line of the movie
It's all in the way he delivers it. Absolutely hilarious!
It's funny that, after doing all his research on Rita's background, Phil responded to "I studied 1800's French poetry" with words from a 1957 French song, rather than any of thousands of 19th century poems.
I would have quoted her this one:...C'est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière,/
Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons/
D'argent ; où le soleil, de la montagne fière,/
Luit : c'est un petit val qui mousse de rayons./ Un soldat jeune, bouche ouverte, tête nue,/
Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu,/
Dort ; il est étendu dans l'herbe, sous la nue,/
Pâle dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut./ Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort. Souriant comme/
Sourirait un enfant malade, il fait un somme :/
Nature, berce-le chaudement : il a froid./Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine ;/
Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine,/
Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au côté droit. (these spaces don't seem suited for gaps between lines and verses in poetry)
Rita's polite, "You speak french!" tells me that she's a lady of quality, that Phil's obsession is warranted. Rita's willingness to be polite and not call Phil on hit fraudulence could also be a hint that she's always liked him, but that she needed him to stop being a jerk. ... My involvement with the plot aside, I think you've caught the filmmakers in their having a bit of fun.
Phil never said he was the one who studied 19th century French poetry, so the scene was written correctly, showing a guy who knows some French and maybe a poem or two, what century is irrelevant, though, if he could have tracked down a French poem from that era, he probably would have. No internet then and a small public library most likely.
@@mizofan Rimbaud
@@mizofan A poem about a dead soldier beside a river doesn’t seem very romantic for that moment. Do you have a poem about a man falling in love, or enchanted by the woman, that would be better suited?
"You speak French?"
"ouiiii"
lmao!!
I literally cracked up with his expression at that exact moment lmao!
@@underground1019 same! I'm French.. he nailed that scene.
Murray's performance in Groundhog Day is simply amazing. He is the Michael Jordan of comedic acting... but what sets Murray apart is that he is also a fantastic dramatic actor. He should've been nominated for an Oscar over Fishburne for this role.
my family have made it a tradition to watch this very groundhog day. we try and imagine just how long he must have been stuck and it always amazing! we love it
actually my son and i just caught a link and they had it figured as 12,395 days or =33 years 350 days. still awesome. have you ever sen the movie "The Razor's Edge"? it is just his best work ever. but he's good in zombieland also!
Marlene Tombleson He's my favorite actor. He's made me cry from laughter so many times that I've lost count. I've never heard of The Razor's Edge. I need to check it out. I've seen Zombieland. It's a great movie.
vandywisky see it! it is the best, i think. it is very dramatic. teresa russell, catherine hicks, james keech. OMG its stunning
Groundhog's day is our favorite move of all time and we too watch it every year on Feb 2nd. Also, Razor's Edge is a great performance, but nowhere has Bill Murray been better at being Bill Murray than in this.
"Gosh I wish we could all live in the mountains"...F;in brilliant
The way he says “Oui”!
Classic!
When I saw the movie for the first time, at the moment he started speaking French, I lost it 😂
maybe the best scene from one of the best comedies ever made.
Slamming her for having studied 19th century poetry is golden😂
I just imagine him spending months of time skipping everything and grinding skills out all day 😂
Bill Murray the best comedian ever!
I watched this Movie when I was 8 for the very first Time. I learned so much about Life in that Movie...we all dream of the Chance to go back in Time and make something different...it was such a Mindfuck for me when I was young...English is not my first language and I wish I could descripe how this Movie change me and still doesnt let me go all this years later! Forever one of my all time favourits!
From "What a waste of time! I mean, that's so Bold of you to choose that"
to "La fille que j'aimera, sera comme bon vin, qui se bonifiera, un peu chaque matin" .
Bill Murray's metamorphosis from faux pas to coup de maître in 15 seconds is timeless.. which kinda coincides with the essence of the film, eh
Ahahaha, reading all of these great and whitty answers on here, I feel reminded of "Good Will Hunting": At times, CZcams comments feel quite like the construction site the protagonist William is working at... Cheers everyone! Oh brave new world, that has such people in it. :)
Merci beaucoup for the translation.
Sure as hell Je'ne parle pas France
@@cosmopolitan4598 It's actually "Je ne parle pas français" What you wrote means "I don't speak France." 😅
0:27 the barmaid wiped her hand on the old guy xD
1:15 no residue left on him that time
Groundhog Day is up there with The In Laws, Beverly Hills Cop, Friday, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Odd Couple, My Cousin Vinny, Coming to America and Midnight Run in the greatest film comedies of all time!
The way the waltz phrasing matches the scenes...
I remember when I first saw this movie and saw this scene, I never laughed so hard in my life when he started speaking French.
Funny fact. The Snowman scene, as well as many others, were filmed in my old home town of Woodstock Illinois USA. Look it up and visit sometime. You will be sorry.
Why would I be sorry? It looks fine to me
I like how he just laughs out loud at first because he knows he has a million more days and he can just do it over again
Straight laughs in her face lol
- You speak french?
- Si!
Still think Phil’s day isn’t too bad, well imagine you’re playing a video game and you have to jump on every ledge just perfectly, but when you mess up you have to wait an entire 24 hours to start over.
I loved the part where they were making the snowman, but wished they would have shown where they were all having a snowball fight with the kids that was the best part.
Fun fact is that in the french version, Rita studied italian poetry so do speaks Phil in this scene!
Now try that again, but in English.
I understand what you were trying to say, I just really don’t like how you said it
@@AZ-kr6ff
It's not that hard to decipher what they meant. Use some initiative.
Best. Movie. Ever!!
'Oui' pronounced in the most English way, “weee” lol
the people behind them must've drank loads of beer each time they did this XD
I actually dated a lady named Judy who had a, kid you not, PhD in French poetry or something like that. She worked as a bagger in a grocery store.
Bill was right "...what a waste of time."
+Spoo o If we dated, how did she turn me down?
He radiocarbon-dated her.
That's so bold of her
but she had poetry in her heart, which beats superficial value judgments in modern capitalist societies obsessed with money and occupations
mizofan poetry in the heart, nothing in the bank
I wonder how long for him took before the guy went full blown gta mode cuzz you know he done it :D
I have seen this masterpiece hundreds of times but still found small funny moments that I missed. (when he takes out two pieces of coal and a pipe from his coat) What a scenario, RIP Harold Ramis.
He is so full of shit......it's hilarious! This scene is right up there with the Chekhov quote at Gobbler's Knob. "Hey man.....you really moved me." Classic Bill Murray!
We'd better get going if we're going to stay ahead of the weather.
I knew you were going to say that!
If everyone lived in the mountains it would be awfully crowded. lol
Imagine the amount of therapy needed to come out of this 30 year 1 day everyday experience
When I was younger I never found Andie MacDowell all that attractive; I’ve changed my mind.
She is so beautiful
A MUST WATCH worldwide ❤👏
10,000 years takes him to broke the loop, think how many things that he becomes expert...
That maneuver from sarcasm to french speaking took couple of months
Happy Groundhog Day!!!
This is 1 movie I have never seen.
Love the part where Phil speaks French...very Funny. Too bad he only spoke French for 10 seconds. 20 seconds would have been a lot more impressive!
If we had to re-live every life's day, every day. Who could be so optimistic?
Best movie ever. Am I right? Or am I right?
u right
Oui.
Awesome indeed, mais le meilleur film est Sansho Dayu de Mizoguchi.
Wrong, but good anyway.
1:50 In the background that's the Opera House in Woodstock IL.
01:48 Bills face...😂
Headcannon: After this, Phil gets a job in France for the US diplomatic service as an English translator, as well as teaching English and Piano and playing piano on the weekends at a coffee shop. Rita's doing her thesis at the University of Paris. Phil wins the World Art Ice Championship in Fairbanks, Alaska.
1:50 Close your eyes.
So you understand that EVERYBODY in the movie is reliving the same day again and again except THEY start over without any memory of the "previous" day where Bill Murray has the advantage of remembering. So in a way he "saves" the entire world and helps them step into "tomorrow."
"Oui"
I do but I know I'd screw up even worse with each retake.
Luckily for Phil he's a reporter, so he probably got better with each retake.
“We should all live in the mountains at high altitudes”. ........what a crock of shit.......only Bill Murray......I love it!
Classic
Oui. 🤣
look at the old guys jacket in the background, the shoulder didn't have a white spot on it
Every their repeatings are their one generation to passing by.... Now how many of generations that did he have repeated already....?
J'ai mis un certain temps à comprendre ce qu'il disait : "La fille que j'aimera Sera comme un bon vin Qui se bonifiera Un peu chaque matin"
Thomas Lugagne Delpon HUH?!?!?!?¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿¡¿
Mon postillon a été frappé par la foudre.
Nice movie but: this guy has to change everything about himself over years and years just to meet the basic requirements of the girl. Way too much work
Well, it's not like he really had anything else to do...
If you've noticed by the end of the movie, he's practically conquered every single person on town... In one day! All those years in a loop, I'd bet he spent months getting to know 1 person, Rita's just the final boss.
@@ncdxero88 You're too funny!!!
Who's Watching this after Seeing the Broadway Show?
I did not know even know Peter Venkman can speak French.
The All American Cowboy He has an accent
There had to be weeks or months between the first and second scene to learn French.
Don't worry guys, we french can only understand "oui" too. lol
But at least it's quite realistic.
I didn't expect Phil to have much effort and abalities to do it anyway. Even if he has literally all the time in the world. 😁😅😊
What he said in French means "The girl I fall in love with will be like a fine wine that's gets a little better every morning."
all me would learn French for a special woman.
I am myself french and except for the "oui", i don't understand a single word of what he says supposedly in french.
Mhm, it's right across from the Chinese place / record shop where he met Claire. 😅
As much as I love this movie Phil is a creep
Wait so every time he messes up and starts over, he is meant to have relived an entire 24 hours again, just to get back to that point?
Yes. And do everything the same way, if he deviates it probably doesn't happen. Part of the reason why I think he was in there for centuries at the least.
@@czperiod2576
CZcams videos saying 32-34 years, others say 35-40.
He learns from his mistakes, each day he goes to piano lessons and remembers what he learned "the day before"
@@289cobra9 I know, however they don't take into account how long one would be in complete madness, falling apart for centuries before finally starting to get it together. Every one is "Well, he will start learning ice sculpture, and that will take X hours...."
Baloney. I'm sure there were plenty of starts and stops and heck knows what.
She is pretty hard to please if it took him 40 years to meet her standards.
She probably would've settled for less in a real world. It's a testament to his love and desire for her that he took a lifetime to transform himself into a man of her dreams.
la fille que j'amerais😅😅
You speak French?
Wee.
I sub
Même moi en tant que français je n'ai pas compris
😂🤣
il a parlé français ? j ai rien compris
La fille que j'aimerai
Sera comme du bon vin
Ce qui améliorera
Un peu chaque matin
Is this in Germany?
1:47 someone meme this
Say what you want but at least he's not intimidated by a strong woman
guy stays up all night learning a language to impress a girl what a dumb .... oh wait i did that.
😎
Great actor Bill, but he speaks French very poorly except when he answers yes : "oui". A French coach should have helped him.
Aa
Oui mais c'est dans plein de films ça, à cause du doublage.en tout cas son français est tellement mauvais que c'est presque incompréhensible, ils ont dû inventer le poème.on se doute que c'est le français et pas l'Italien qu'elle a étudié parce qu'ensuite il lui parle de baudelaire
… La fille que j'aimera
Sera comme bon vin
Qui se bonifiera
Un peu chaque matin…

Terrible, terrible accent.

When I saw the movie for the first time, at the moment he started speaking French, I lost it 😂
