QQOTD: Tim Minchin and Groundhog Day
“At its essence, Groundhog Day is an existential journey of an unhappy, judgmental, slightly narcissistic, misogynistic, dissatisfied, aspirational, entitled, privileged male who has to learn to be the opposite of all those things to find happiness – to learn that learning is important and that you don't get to control everything.” ~ Tim Minchin , an Australian comedian, actor, writer, musician, composer, lyricist, and director. He was born in Northampton , England , to Australian parents, but raised in Perth, Western Australia . Minchin is best known for his musical comedy, including six CDs, five DVDs, and live comedy shows that he has performed internationally. He has appeared on television in Australia, Britain, and the United States. Has Minchin over-analyzed this fun and goofy film? If not, what aspects of unhappiness, misogyny, dissatisfaction, narcissism, privilege, entitlement, aspiration, judgment, and existentialism can be found in Groundhog Day? * *
