The Olympics have me thinking about Parisian Murray... After watching a screening of “Ghostbusters”, it became clear to Bill Murray that the film was going to be the biggest thing to ever happen to him. Bill admitted, “Being in the United States with that level of fame would have been self-destructive for me at that time. When Bill discovered that “Ghostbusters” hadn’t yet been released in France, he bought a one-way ticket Paris. “So I just moved to Paris for a while. Nobody knew who I was there.” In France, Bill attended The Sorbonne in Paris, “I was as close to an empty vessel as I had ever been. I studied philosophy and French at Sorbonne in the morning. It taught me that there was a much bigger wheel turning. In the afternoon, I studied film at the Cinematheque Francaise.” “I think in all of us there’s a belief that there’s something bigger than ourselves, much bigger than the wheel that’s turning. To think we are the centre of the world or the reason for its existence is sort of absurd. Paris remains one of the most cherished times in my life. I not only learned a lot, but I was also able to hold on to what I value in myself.”
