15) The Hidden Warning of Oranges in The Godfather

In The Godfather, orange is always used as a symbol that something bad is about to happen or someone is betraying you. For instance, oranges surround Michael Corleone before the violent events in the book. This visual motif signals the darker themes, hinting at the tragedy and moral decay that unfold. Fans who pick up on this will enjoy how this serves to underpin what the film has explored: power, family, and inevitable death; there's a layer of meaning given to the film's iconic images.
