SUMMARY:Film & Philosophy: "Groundhog Day"
DESCRIPTION:Weatherman Phil (Bill Murray) is out to cover the annual emergence of a town’s beloved groundhog (Punxstawney Phil) from its hole. He gets caught in a blizzard that he didn’t predict and finds himself trapped in a time warp\, leaving him doomed to relive the same day over and over again…until he gets it right. Directed by Harold Ramis\, this 1993 film is both a comedic and philosophical jaunt into what it might mean to live a good life. \n\n\n\nWatch the Movie Trailer\n\n\n\nPlay\n\n\n\nWhat We’ll Be Doing\n\n\n\nAfter grabbing a seat in our mini-theater and welcoming hello…we’ll settle in & watch The Groundhog Day. This classic comedy will have you reeling…even if you’ve seen it before! (Pun intended!). After the film\, we’ll have a free-flowing community conversation led by Student Scholar Fellow Gavin Payne based on some of the philosophical questions the film raises…from ego and choice\, to meaning\, purpose\, and the good life. \n\n\n\nWHENSaturday\, August 15th3pm-6pm (MST)WHEREIn the Conference Center @ Reeder's AlleyCOSTFree ($5 suggested donation)OTHERAir-conditioned space (come get cool with us!)BYOB & SnacksFilm Run Time: 1 Hour & 45 MinutesShort break & community conversation to follow\n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Facilitator\n\n\n\n\n\nGavin Payne is a senior at Helena High School\, a regular participant at Merlin activities\, and our first ever high school student scholar fellow.
