Living A Groundhog Day


Fascinating story about Michelle Philpots, a woman stuck in a real-life Groundhog Day who lives the same 24 hours over and over again - because her memory is constantly wiped clean. She suffered severe head injuries in two separate road crashes and has been left with no short-term memory since 1994.

Michelle wakes up every morning thinking it's 1994 and cannot remember anything from the past 16 years. She even has to be reminded by her husband Ian of their 1997 wedding day and has to be shown the album of the big day to prove it happened.

Isn't that more like Momento than GH Day?

I would say it sounds more like "50 First Dates" than GH Day.

I can't believe that nobody has mentioned how horrible it must be for her to have to live like that.

You just want to determine which movie her life resembles!
