Maybe the only unintended masterpiece in film history

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2012)

It is said that this film has gotten an almost religious following of admirers and rightfully so.
It was intended as just another comedy with Bill Murray as star. Perhaps sometime during the shooting, the director or somebody else may have suspected that it was more than so but much more than a suspicion it was apparently not.
It is funny to be sure but below all fun there lies something deadly serious that was not intended but that nevertheless pulls through and leaves the spectator with a sense of awe for every day of life we are given on earth.
You could simply state that it is about the limitless possibilities in the single moment or the eternity in a single day and that, if we were allowed to live fully and not as slaves to a murderous few, then a life-span of only 70 or 60 years or even less would be fully sufficient to complete our time on earth. The former thought is more likely religious and the latter more likely revolutionary but they are both possible to be induced when seeing this masterpiece of a film, that was never intended or expected to become just that.
