in groundhog day the movie, the main character a weather man is stuck in a time loop reliving the day of the annual groundhog day over and over again. at first he was like thinking everyone was crazy, then it was great for him for he can do thing with no consequences then it started to become his nightmare. he started to try everything to stop it but he don't know how. in this way it does show the five states of grief. first come denial then anger follow by bargaining, with a slice of despaired to mix it up and to finish it up it was accepting of his fate.
at first in the movie he started to wake up and he never believe it was true and he thought everyone was just screwing with him, not believing what is happening he just go on with his days this represent the state of denial.
after a while he try to make it stop and he started to act aggressively even yelling at a person who say good morning to him. he insulted the annual groundhog day represent anger.
after his anger impulse. he started to calm down and started to help alots of people. including an old man that is going to died on the groundhog day. this show that he is bargaining in hope that if he do good then something will change on this day. Bargaining.
In the near end of the movie we started to see Phil the main character started to go through his day with no emotion at all. he been doing this for so long untold many repeat that he specialize in many subject. he look like he is lost his will to live, he even try to kill himself over and over again, jumping down a church hit by bus etc. this represent depression.
the last stage is acceptance. he accept his day he goes on and help a lot of people, old lady car tire is broken he fix it. an old man is dieing he try to help him through the day. a couple who is having a wedding he pick the wedding for them. he did many thing that make him a better person then before.
