- Santino drives past a billboard advertising oranges just before he dies
- Don Vito was buying oranges just before he was shot, and in the scene where he was lying on the ground there are two oranges next to him:
- the sheets of the bed that the horses head was in were orange
- Carlo Rizzi was wearing an orange suit when Santino beat him up
- The dress that Kay Adams was wearing often seemed like it could be orange, though this may have been simply bad coloration because if the age of the film.
This is interesting. It seems as though oranges could symbolize many things in the film, but especially death.
It is a hint that something bad is going to happen.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with most of your examples. In most of those scenes there are oranges as a fruit. The only scene that i don't agree with is the horses head scene. I don't believe that the bed sheets are orange but instead more golden. However, there were oranges in this scene. When Tom is having dinner with Woltz, there is a bowl of oranges on the table.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the majority of your examples, however i do not agree with your last. In most scenes, Kay Adams is wearing a red dress, the colour of this dress is probbably scarlett, which is a dark red colour
ReplyDeleteI agree with a lot of your examples, except for the part about Kay's dresses being orange, as Devon said. The dresses were not orange, they may have maybe had an orange-y tint to them, but that might have been an oversight.
ReplyDeleteAs a reply to Sunny's comment, In the picture that Neil has supplied of the horse head scene the sheets do look more golden; however, I feel that orange, gold and yellow and shades of the same base colour -- not the same, but similar. Close enough that I believe that the golden of the sheets can get away with being an orange.
I saw the same thing as Sunny. There was a bowl of oranges on the dinner table during that particular scene.
