Ever wonder what happened to Phil after ‘Groundhog Day’?
, it never happened. That’s for the best. No perfect film should be dragged down by an inferior carbon copy, especially one about throwing off the shackles of greed and egomania and embracing your purest, best self.
Still, it’s perfectly sensible to wonder what happened to Phil Connors after his years of endless Groundhog Days. Phil experienced thousands of February 2nds, learned to be a better man, then finally woke up on February 3. Did he maintain his perspective on the world once he didn’t know what’s going to happen at every waking moment? Or did he relapse into self-absorption and narcissism?creator and co-writer Danny Rubin did reveal what happened to Phil after the film.
According to Rubin, Phil eventually settled “in a beautiful corner of the Sangre de Christo Mountains in New Mexico” after realizing “being around people wasn’t as desirable as spending time alone with his thoughts and the simple things he wanted to keep around him.” Interestingly, Phil’s love interest in, Rita, is never mentioned by name in this entire post; it appears that they broke up somewhere along the way.
Phil did receive guests at his home in the mountains, where he fielded questions like “How many days were you stuck in the time loop?” and “What’s Bill Murray really like?” He would try to answer them as best he could but, “The truth is most people are looking for answers from someone who can just tell them and get it over with.”Gallery — The Best Movies of 1990:
