This evening, I woke up and I felt like seeing a movie, so I was going through the batch of movies that I had bought the previous day. One movie in particular stood out to me since the cover was appealing and I adore vampires, so that was a plus. So, I inserted the disc inside the DVD and got a blanket so I can be comfortable. I started watching the movie and it instantly caught my eye when noticed that the vampires were farming humans for their blood. The more blood that was harvested, the more humanity was disappearing. Blood was used as a common resource which one could buy at any business, as in restaurants, stores, markets, etc. The more limited the blood became, the more of a demand it became. This was because blood is a necessity for vampires to keep their original form; if not they will turn into these horrible bat creatures called Subsiders. This eventually happened when vampires decided to not eat blood so it was pretty unavoidable consequence. They needed blood in order for them to go through their day, vampires were pretty dependent on blood, and there was no substitution for blood, causing many to be very concerned. I was able to relate this movie to our current crises; the shortage of oil. This is because our lives pretty much depend on oil. We use oil for many things including using as a resource to get around, as in getting us to the doctor, dentist, therapist, mental institution, and so on. We rely on oil based transportation as in cars, buses, and trains. I fear that humanity will become like the “subsiders” and become aggressive, loose all self-control, and lose stability in our lives all because the desire for oil.
