we never find out why bill murray lives the same day over & over either.
i think this is one of those areas where, when you're dealing with a fantastical concept, attempting to give an explanation would probably just diminish the results.
i thought happy death day was a shockingly enjoyable film. funny, reasonably clever, never dawdled, didn't overstay its welcome, cute girls. for this kind of film, i don't think you could ask for much more.
huh, i don't remember that at all. i just remember him going to bed the first day wanting to go home & waking up to sonny & cher. but i'm not doubting you. it's been a good length of time since i've watched it.
regardless, that's not an explanation in any real sense, which was kinda what i was trying to get at. i don't think you need some sort of word-salad star trek-style dylithium crystals are running low-style explanation. just accept the premise & go along with the ride. the ride in this case, i thought, was pretty fun.
It was always a talking point of how it happened and a quick shot of him being accidentally hit in the head with shovel is what a lot of people think causes the looping. There really is no logical way for someone to be living the same day over and over in a movie.
The IMDB trivia says the director has stated that there are Easter eggs (including one big one apparently) which explain why it's happening. So I was wondering if anybody caught it.
