I was shocked when I learned that. There are other estimates, but 10 is the lowest reasonable number for Murray to accomplish all of his tasks


Just look at the Brinks heist - his complete awareness of the environment, "Gust of wind", implies dozens if not hundreds of repetitions of that one act. Mastering the piano from nothing, as a adult, assuming he dedicates whole slices of time during the period is at least a couple of years. Now, he could be multi-tasking (playing the piano 3 or 4 hours a day, every day, pulling the heist every day) and he certainly was selecting certain critical tasks to do every day - saving the kid, attempting to save the old man, etc., but still - 10 years is probably the lowest I would set.

But, in that environment, is the passage of time really significant, or is it the metahporical "journey" versus "destination"?

He probably has to pull the heist everyday to pay for piano lessons.

No, I don't think the actual time matters. I just never realized it until I read it somewhere a few years ago. I never actually thought about how long it would take to do all of those things. I just always assumed he relived the day for a few months because the movie only shows like 40 of the days.

And I agree. 10 years is pretty close to the bare minimum. It was probably much longer.
