Fans noticed that in Godfather movies Oranges were used to foreshadow death

“Oranges🍊 appear whenever death is in the air: When the Godfather gets shot in the street, he's buying oranges, which scatter on the ground as he falls. When Vito dies at the very end, its while peeling an orange and putting the rind in his mouth to make funny faces at his grandson and several other instances.”

But the moviemakers said it was a coincidence, they added oranges 🍊 just for some bright color 😊

@Bold: Seriously? 😮 Oranges signify death?

I mean death is always portrayed with the help of dull and decaying colours such as white, gray etc. And Orange colour is such a lively colour 😕

Well, in that movie yes

“Oranges, or even the color orange, foreshadow death. Clemenza asks for more wine and is given a pitcher of wine with oranges floating in it by Paulie, the driver he later has killed. Tessio reaches across a table for an orange, foreshadowing not only his death but that he will "cross" the Corleones. There are oranges on the table between Tom Hagen and Jack Woltz. Vito Corleone is buying oranges when he is shot. Carlo is wearing an orange jumpsuit when Sonny beats him up, foreshadowing both of their deaths. During the sit-down with the other Dons, an orange is placed in front of each Don that Michael later has killed. Vito has an orange peel in his mouth when he suffers his fatal heart attack.”

But the makers say it was a coincidence. They were just props to add some color and brightness, otherwise that movie was all black and grey

The whole movie is about revenge and killing and filled with scene of murder, assassination and death

So naturally fans assumed that... It must be the most analyzed and talked about HW movie ever esp by men

What’s not to love, brother killing brother, brother in law, enemies in variety of fashion... Shooting in the eye glasses - I’ve only seen in this movie... Placing the head of a newly butchered dead horse in the mattress next to the owner... What’s not to love
