week one lit feature hunt

the use of oranges as a metaphor for death is easy to spot as it is used repeatedly whenever vito corleone is in paril. In the assassination attempt on his life he is buying oranges, and later, he dies of heart failure in an orange grove. these are not just coincidences but very clear use of literary features by Francis ford Coppola. this, in my mind, sets him and his directing style apart from modern film becuase i beleive that modern mainstream movies have degenerated from art into somthing more similar to the walls in Fahrenheit 451
