Daybreakers shows the story of one vampire, named Edward and played by Ethan Hawke, and his attempt to help repopulate Earth with humans long after they have become an endangered species and vampires have taken over. Humans are farmed for their blood, but they cannot be reproduced as quickly as they are being used to feed the huge quantity of vampires. Edward works at this giant farm as they all try to come up with a substitute for the blood.
Like oil running out in our own greedy society, blood is running out in theirs. And according to Edward's boss, "There will always be those who will pay a little extra for the real thing." This makes me also want to compare their human farming to today's factory farming. People don't want to know the truth about it as in the movie the vampires do not want to be human again. Their greed craves immortality, ours craves taste bud pleasure. It's too bad that people won't allow themselves to seek the truth, that factory farms are horrific and not worth it (especially when the products are so bad for you and the environment). And it's too bad the vampires don't want to listen to Edward. But, thankfully, he gets the cure out.
Always finding a way to tie everything back to your fight against the oppression of animals eh Sadie? Well, I certainly commend you for your determination and effort.
