Unironically too gruesome and depressing. In the book, he forces a midwife to throw a baby into a furnace then threatens to kill her if she tells anyone. She asks Vito for help and that's when he hires Luca as his muscle man.
Yeah, Luca is supposed to be the ultimate badass until he gets necked, "Not even Don Corleone will be able to call him off!" Vito is even a little bit afraid of him(?) and is careful to be respectful with him. But Luca's gift-giving scene doesn't really show that, Luca is painted like a dumb, obedient dog.
The story goes that he was scripted to be calm and confident, but the actor was so nervous about his scene with Brando that he kept forgetting his lines. They went with it because the fact this big tough guy was even afraid of Vito made him look more powerful. Might be an apocryphal story but there you go.
It's not when he's with the mob. It was a young, possibly underaged girl he'd impregnated (probably through rape) and for whatever reason, didn't want anyone finding out.
always found it goofy how long the mcclusky sits their mnunching after being shot in the forehead
How'd they get their food so quickly?
a good place has all the stuff on the menu ready to go the only thing that is made "fresh" is the meat
the veggies are already cooked and warm in the kitchen
Same with the guy in 2 who young Vito shoots through the cheek. He stands there like it was a bad slap when the back of his brain would have been blown out.
I AM HERE OUT OF RESPECT TO MY FATHER, VITO "CORLEONE" ANTOLINI! AND YOU, SOLOZZO "THE TURK", SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO BRING AN OUTSIDER, A POLICE OFFICER AT THAT, TO OUR SITDOWN! THE OLDTIMERS, NAMELY LUCKY LUCCIANO, ORGANISED THIS THING LIKE A PARAMILITARY ORGANISATION SO THAT NOBODY COULD GIVE UP THE BOSSES! YOU'D THINK THERE NEVER WAS AN ANTONIO MEIUCCI THE WAY THEY TREAT PEOPLE!
im superior to you irl in every aspect I can imagine of
but nice try calling me autist when a fricking human being is moronicly chewing when he got shot in the head you absolute poor unnatractive nonwhite manlet subhuman
>Maybe I should continue putting the screws on Sonny. He's emotional enough to be manipulated. >Nah, I'll just have a sitdown with his Marine Corps brother who helped saved their father in the hospital.
Sollozzo was a moron.
That's why he brought McCluskey along: killing a Captain [of the NYPD] was totally unprecedented before that night. The restaurant scene caused such a major shitstorm that it took more than an entire year to somewhat normalize the situation even with the full apparatus of the Corleone family (who had journalists and politicians in their pockets too) and wasn't solved until the end of the Commission meeting.
The sit-down between the Corleones and Sollozzo was inevitable, and the Turk took every necessary step for their protection. The plan only slipped because McCluskey left a report about his whereabouts in his office before he left to the rendezvous. As a cop he had to do it, but he could've just lied something - obviously, McCluskey didn't think that the unimaginable could happen. That's how Sonny's detective learned the info, then the rest is history.
I love the way when he leaves the bathroom and pauses, then goes and sits down, we think he's lost his nerve, he's not going to shoot them. But it was actually the opposite. He decided to do it head on, looking them in the eyes, more honorably.
I think he was worried, conflicted. That's why we get the long dolly in, his shifting eyes, the train wheels screeching. He has to work up the balls to whip out the gun.
Also notice now Clemenza told him not to look at anyone and leave quickly without the gun. Instead Michael meets all of the workers eyes, pauses in shock, and then haphazardly drops the gun like he was about to forget
>He tries screwing over Michael. >"You went against the family, Tom." >"I'm not your family." >Second act reveals that Tom and Michael have both been manipulated by whatever villains were in Part III >They work together to kill them >Tom ends up getting killed despite redeeming himself >Michael still dies alone in Italy
Why no Luca prequel?

the guy playing brasi was an irl mob enforcer. they probably just didnt want to make him mad.
bad for your health

lmao wtf purpose would this serve the mob?

Hey, Sollozzo!
How'd they get their food so quickly?

does he bump the camera at :22?
He does

this was the most kino scene in both movies
>this was the most kino scene in both movies
No. That would be the baptismal sequence.
ive seen way too many rekt threads and the scene, while it is kino, is unrealistic
>caring about realism in film violence
Autism.

>caring about realism in scenes where the director was trying to be realistic by was too moronic to pull it off
never go full moron
>why do you care about realism in films?
Fricking moron
>Maybe I should continue putting the screws on Sonny. He's emotional enough to be manipulated.
>Nah, I'll just have a sitdown with his Marine Corps brother who helped saved their father in the hospital.
Sollozzo was a moron.
criminals are what they are

What do you guys think was going through Sollozzo's head at that moment?
>gets shot in the head
>grabs his throat
why?
>hit the part of brain that tells you not to choke on your food
Or
>food went down the wrong pipe due to the shock of the situation.
I think this is bait but nonetheless, Michael shoots him in the throat first.

Lucas Brassi sleeps with the fishes
>Luca Brasi sleeps with Derf Ishuss
Who was Derf Ishuss and why was Luca Brasi fricking them such a big deal?
What would have happened after Godfather 2 if Hagen returned?
>He tries screwing over Michael.

>"I'm not your family."
