I ran across this bit of wisdom on the Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day. It reminded me of the bits of detective work that I often encourage my fiction students to pursue. Sometimes this sort of deduction is a pointless way to spend your mental energy--like my colleague Bob who railed about Sam and Frodo walking the wrong direction at the end of one of the Lord of the Rings movies--but sometimes such an exercise can reveal significant information about the story--or the film--that you would not have uncovered in any other way.
The significance of Bill Murray's movie? I'm not sure there is any, but you never know.
