Literary Features Hunt-The use of oranges and the colour orange in "The Godfather"

    Coppola, has added many oranges and has used the colour orange in many of the scenes in The Godfather to show danger, death, something bad is about to happen, sad mood or atmosphere and sometimes coincidence.  Since The presence of the colour orange or oranges have been presented throughout the part of the movie that we have watched in class.
     One of the examples that I noticed that show death and danger through the use of the colour orange is when Luca Brasi talks to Bruo Tattaglia and Sollozzo. The glass next to the door  Brasi was going to enter through to talk to Bruno Tattaglia and Sollozzo had fishes on it. The camera focused on these fishes before going on and filming Brasi and their conversation. These fishes meant that something "fishy" or strange was going to happen. These fishes were clear translucent in colour and the light in the room behind the glass was reddish orange in colour, which makes the fish look orange, which was a coincidence. Luca Brasi was killed later, after the conversation, which means that the fish symbolize both strangeness and danger and death. Another example, also having to do with fish, happens when Sonny and the Corleone family find out that that Luca Brasi died. When a package containing a bullet-proof vest with a fish wrapped up in it  is sent to the Corleone's, the fish had the colour orange on it and it symbolizes the death of Luca Brasi.
     Other examples include: the oranges that were being sold in a market when The Godfather was getting shot, the orange flowers that Enzo brings when he visits The Godfather and the orange Christmas lights hung around the city and the arch of the entrance to the hospital where The Godfather was staying. There are much more examples than the ones I have mentioned above and I believe there will be a lot more coming up in the movie. The symbols of oranges and the colour orange may soon play a more obvious part in figuring out and coming up with a theme that is depicted in the movie.
