Agape is love in its purest form. It is the spiritual form of love. This is God's love for humanity. It is different from philia love because it has a nature of self-sacrificing love. We love others and we demand and expect nothing in return. (What is the meaning of agape love?) Early in the film, it is clear that Phil has no respect for the agape form of love. He is mean, ruthless and selfish. But when he finds himself trapped during Groundhog Day, he ends up connecting with people on a deeper level. For example, Phil courts Rita just to seduce her sexually, but when he learns more about her goodness and kindness, he feels that he does not deserve her. Rita has been an object of eros and agape love for Phil, but "just before Phil is freed from the seemingly endless loop of the day repeating itself, he makes it clear that he has completely abandoned the pursuit of Rita and s is immersed in his love. for her instead. (Valentine's Day). This happened because Phil learned through this time loop to love unconditionally. This trap makes Phil kind, merciful, unconditional, selfless and helpful to others. This point is clear from the example of a homeless old man. At the beginning of the film, Phil completely ignores the man and doesn't give him a single coin. But when he is trapped in the time loop, he repeatedly comes across the same man and finally, towards the end of the film, he gives all his money to the homeless old man and takes him to the hospital (Ciscell). When Phil learns that the old man will not survive, he makes his last day of life pleasant by providing him with food and comfort. This represents love for humanity, a spiritual aspect of agape. The strongest effects of Phil being trapped in the time loop concern his perception, belief, attitude, and practice of agape.
