Every time I am involved in some community activity here at school, we do a variation of “Breaking Boundaries” in which every person in the group answers a set of questions. One question is always – “If an atomic bomb was about to go off in 10 minutes, what would you do?” I swear, I’ve answered this question at least five times now and every time I have to answer, I give some generic response.
- I would call my family and tell them I love them
- I would do anything possible to not be hit by the bomb and seek shelter
- I would eat as much food as possible
- I would hug everyone around me and wish them peace
Now, these aren’t horrible responses and I don’t want any of you to think that I’m not an authentic person for responding this way, but the truth of the matter is – that I would probably not do any of these things. I can’t answer this question unless I’m in the moment and it is actually happening. That’s just how I feel.
So I think it’s pretty interesting that Steve Carell and Keira Knightley are starring in a movie that answers this question. An asteroid is on its way to hitting Earth, and the two character have a limited amount of time before they are dunzo. After Carell’s wife leaves him in a panic, he sets out to find his high school sweetheart with Knightley in tow.
