Ground Hog Day analysis | A Lesson In Happiness

My video essay analysis of the film Ground Hog Day, looking at the character Phil Conners (Bill Murray) and his transformation from a sacarstic, withdrawn newsreporter, to someone open, warm, and genuinely happy. In terms of analysis and meaning, what can we learn from Phil's story beyond just film theory talk? What philosophy can it teach us?
This is a reupload, which was originally uploaded on the 24th of December 2019.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
