Daybreakers: Difference between revisions

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Society is running out of a resource that it needs to keep functioning. Those in charge of procuring it insist they can always find new supplies of it somewhere. At the same time, they are searching for an alternative more easily renewable resource, but have no plans to alter the selfish behavior that brought about this shortage in the first place. Society's last hope is a scientist who was never very happy with exploiting this resource in the first place and refuses to consume it himself. This movie certainly uses a lot of the classic tropes one finds in a conservationist movie with a [[Green Aesop]].

** While reminiscent of peak oil and fossil fuel depletion in general, it's also reminiscent of any number of scarcity issues, corporate ethics issues, and the like.

** Getting Frankie to turn Alison into a vampire smacks strongly of [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|"correctional" rape]].

* [[Eyes of Gold]]: This is played completely straight as one symptom of vampirism.

* [[A Glass of Chianti]]: Played absolutely straight with {{spoiler|Bromley kidnapping Audrey and draining her blood into a wine glass.}}

* [[Gorn]]: Seen in the army-feeding scene, and in the aftermath of one of the vampire raids.

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Frankie.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Frankie again.}}
