Last Friday, I had the opportunity to watch “What Happened to Monday” as part of the Rose Scholars Friday movie series. After the initial disclaimer the GRF gave in the beginning of the movie, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. Unfortunately, I wasn’t pleasantly surprised — the movie felt unnecessarily graphic with the plot feeling forced and predictable. I was, however, quite intrigued by the premise behind the movie, and the implications set forth by it. The central issue at hand was one of population control. In the world where widespread efforts, including modern medicine, are in place to keep society healthy and alive, it’s a controversial issue to point out how technology has put us above the evolutionary laws that shaped mankind, and how one day the world may not be able to support an ever growing population. As the late Stephen Hawking used to claim, humans would need to leave Earth and colonize other planets. To some, of course, actions such this movie’s, and China’s, one child policy may seem more practical. I’m curious to see how our society responds to overpopulation when the time comes.
