The public has spent many years figuring this out.
The tragicomedy “Groundhog Day” was released in 1993. The audience was delighted with the story of Harold Ramis about a TV presenter who got into a time loop. At the same time, few people guessed how long the hero of Bill Murray was to stay on February 2nd.
For all the time the journalist lived in the American city of Punxsutawney, he managed not only to try all kinds of entertainment, but also mastered several very difficult hobbies. For example, he learned to make ice sculptures and even learned to play the piano. All the metamorphoses of Murray’s hero fit into the 34 days shown in the film, but in reality there were much more.
As the director said, he originally planned for a period of 10,000 years. But during this time the protagonist would definitely go crazy, so it was decided to reduce the duration of the loop. As a result, Ramis does not say exactly how many days the journalist should live on February 2, but attentive fans managed to find the answer. According to them, the period was between 30 and 40 years, and some viewers are sure of a more accurate date – 33 years and 358 days.
At the same time, no one has been able to confirm exactly these data. Filmmakers carefully hide the truth from the public and keep it in the dark for many years.
