How does the symbolism of carpentery and handling the dead bodies make sense in the Irishman?
I got the point of painting the house as a symbol to kill someone because when you shot someone in the head and he is in front of wall, wall will get painted with the blood. But how is doing "your own carpentry" relate to handling the dead bodies. For recap, this dialogue came up when Frank talked to Jimmy for the first time about how he is a "painter" and do his own "carpentry"?
Best Answer
If "painters" paint with blood, then the same line of thinking would suggest that "carpenters" put people in wooden boxes, i.e. handle and dispose of dead bodies.
