Inside finally shows the significance of a popular Willem Dafoe meme from 2021. Two years later, the psychological thriller pays off the iconic meme.
Willem Dafoe’s new psychological thriller Inside finally pays off the best Dafoe meme. In October 2021, an image of Willem Dafoe with a cigarette in his mouth and holding two oranges, one of which was moldy, went viral. The meme was posted by a gimmick Twitter account and the tweet received over 2,300 retweets and inspired others to redraw the meme to various hilarious results.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Willem Dafoe’s orange picture was first posted by experimental artist Alvaro Urbano on his Instagram account on June 2, 2021. Inside follows Willem Dafoe as Nemo, who becomes trapped in a penthouse full of priceless art after a heist goes wrong. His isolation sends him into a spiral of madness that grows worse with each passing day. Despite the odd premise, Inside at least explains the meaning behind the famous Dafoe moldy orange meme.
Unfortunately, the oranges do not work, and Nemo is forced to put his survival skills to the test, leading to an unsettling Willem Dafoe performance. While the oranges may not seem immediately significant in Inside, the photo encompasses what Inside is about - art. While rock-hard oranges with painted mold may not seem like art for some, it is Nemo’s love for art that drives him to steal, and it eventually gives him hope in his awful situation.
Inside Subtly Changes Willem Dafoe's Iconic Meme For those who catch the iconic oranges in Inside, the meme becomes slightly less gross knowing that Dafoe was not actually holding moldy oranges. As for Dafoe’s expression and cigarette, it now seems likely Dafoe was acting silly on a cigarette break. Memes come and go, and there is not always an explanation for why they are popular or why they are funny.
Willem Dafoe’s performance in Inside highlights his acting chops, making it a perfect film for Green Goblin fans. Dafoe’s popularity as a performer and personality keep him in the meme hall of fame, but Inside is far from a funny film. For those who want to watch Willem Dafoe shine by himself for an hour and half, however, Inside is a treat tastier than ripe oranges.
