Kay: The Woman in Red

Today while watching the Godfather we were discussing the significance of the outsider like character Kay (Micheal Corleone's girlfriend), and how she is so different compared to the other women that are in the corleone family. One can tell immediately that she is not fully accepted when Micheal first introduces her to his brother Sunny, the look on Sunny's face and the lack of interest at the moment shows how dfferent she is compared to the girlfiends/wives of other men in the Corleone family. Her clothing was very interesting too, in teh two scenes we saw her, she was always wearing red. In the second scene where she is present, as soon as you see her red dress underneath the fur Mischeal sees a newspaper saying that "New York's biggest Gangster" was murdered. It reminded me of the horror film The Omen (the newest one), whenever the color red is presented something very terrible happens.
