What fruit is associated with death in "The Godfather"?
While Francis Ford Coppola is still out there making movies, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who wouldn’t say that he hit his peak as a director in 1972. "The Godfather" is still considered by many people to be one of, if not THE, best movies ever made.
Beyond Marlon Brando’s stylizing voice work and appearance, the attention to detail, quality of production, and compelling screen adaption of the 1969 novel have kept viewers coming back again and again across generations.
There’s a lot to unpack in this movie, and thanks to everything Coppola put in there you could probably spend a lifetime analyzing it. One thing we know for sure: there’s a lot of violence. Such is the life in the family. But if you pay close attention, you’ll notice that one fruit tends to be associated with death throughout the film. Which tasty snack has a bit of a darker side in "The Godfather"?
