Vampire theme

Vampires have always been a symbol of the bourgeoisie, and they live a noble and prosperous life by sucking the blood of the proletariat. Starting from the iconic vampire literature "Count Dracula", the charm of the vampire image comes from the superiority and pain brought about by being separated from the public, lonely, and immortal. This can be seen as the introspection of the bourgeoisie.
"Bloodthirsty Breaking Dawn" has a big breakthrough compared with other works in the setting of the story background-vampires have changed from a niche to the masses, becoming the main body of society. This actually strengthens the metaphor of the real society even more, corresponding to the new changes in capitalist society. Vampires have an instinctive impulse for blood, which is often difficult to control. When everyone in the real society is unable to resist the desire to appear in the form of consumption, that is, almost everyone has become a vampire driven by desire, there will be a blood crisis corresponding to the energy crisis in the real world. The advertisements of the vampire society that have appeared constantly in the movies also reveal the criticism of consumerism all the time.
So this film with a little blood at the end is a very clear-cut missionary film. Call on people to bring down the greedy oligarchs and call on the conscious bourgeoisie to take the initiative to reflect on themselves. What's interesting is that people who restore humanity need to sacrifice their own blood to awaken the humanity of vampires. Change must start from within, and someone must be willing to sacrifice.
As for the repeated occurrences of cure and substitutes, they are just two words that point to the topic. Desire is hard to fill, and finding alternatives is just drinking poison to quench thirst. And we are from the Healing Department, and we have to find a cure. We found it, and it's not too late. If you want to cure, you have to deny yourself and protect our lovely earth, Amen.

    The final scene was shocking. What if I found a way to change it back. The entrenched pattern makes people not want to change, so they continue to fight. Humans are inherently selfish.

    This is the best vampire-themed movie I've ever seen. There are only three things I'm not satisfied with. The device for extracting human blood is too easy to make people die; the special effects of the bridge when escaping midway are not good; When the sun burns, the chest should add some burns. Other than that, it's all very good. Hawke turns into a human and is more handsome than a vampire. For the first time, Willem Dafoe is on the same frequency as other actors.
