Phil Connors plays a weather man who is trapped in groundhogs day, every day he wakes up he is forced to re-live the same events of groundhogs day every day, Phil develops a strong sense of the meaning of his life throughout the film.
I feel that phil connors thoughout the entire film went through stages in order to realize the meaning of his life, at first it was a little strange to him and he had a hard time figuring out why the day kept repeating but he started to have a little fun with it and seeing how his actions would affect the day differently each day it repeated. Phil starts to grow tired of reliving the same exact day every single day and he wants nothing more than to kill himself which he does try doing multiple times in all very different ways. At the beggining of the film he was kindof bossy and cocky and nobody really warmed up to him because of that but as the film progressed he focused more and more on being a nice guy and making everyone in the little town like him and that became important to him. Phil also starts to fall in love with his coworker and tries all different ways to woo her but he knows it wont matter because she'll forget all about it in the morning. To me phil realized the meaning of his life was to fall in love with this women and make her love him too. and as soon as she does love him the curse of reliving groundhogs day is completely broken and he can go on living with the love of his life and that to me is what the movie was all about.
