"How come you used a guy like Luca Brasi? An animal like that?" The Don had proceeded to instruct him. "There are men in this world," he said, "who go about demanding to be killed. You must have noticed them. They quarrel in gambling games, they jump out of their automobiles in a rage if someone so much as scratches their fender, they humiliate and bully people whose capabilities they do not know. I have seen a man, a fool, deliberately infuriate a group of dangerous men, and he himself without any resources. These are people who wander through the world shouting, 'Kill me. Kill me.' And there is always somebody ready to oblige them. We read about it in the newspapers every day. Such people of course do a great deal of harm to others also. "Luca Brasi was such a man. But he was such an extraordinary man that for a long time nobody could kill him. Most of these people are of no concern to ourselves but a Brasi is a powerful weapon to be used. The trick is that since he does not fear death and indeed looks for it, then the trick is to make yourself the only person in the world that he truly desires not to kill him. He has only that one fear, not of death, but that you may be the one to kill him. He is yours then."
The Godfather, by Mario Puzo

Thank you so much for making this blog! It's one of the main reasons why I decided to dowlnoad tumblr! Ngl, the family corleone is my favourite book of the series and I'm glad someone makes content for it :)
What do you think of Luca Brasi and his gang in the book?
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much, I hope tumblr treats you right!! I love it here!
Okay so Re: Luca's tie in the Family Corleone, I thought it was interesting to explain his speech patterns with his pill habit... like that was a lot of backstory just to justify Coppola's use of the stuttering scenes when he talks to Don Corleone? But yeah I guess you'd need some way to explain why Luca acts the way he does around Vito even though they have history together, so that solution works for me lol. And always always love the wiseguy-isms on the page of a book! it hits just right 🤌

Did Vito sacrifice Luca Brasi by sending him on that spying mission?
I know that in the book there's more buildup to Luca's death and that he'd been attending Bruno Tattaglia's club for some time, but the end result is the same.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who knew Luca or knew of him, would think him likely to turn traitor and wouldn't be wary of him suddenly wanting to switch sides.
So was the Don slipping as Sollozzo said or did he decide to send him on a mission that he knew would likely end in his death?
I'm leaning towards the latter because of this quote in the book
" When the door closed Don Corleone gave a small sigh of relief. Brasi was the only man in the world who could make him nervous. The man was like a natural force, not truly subject to control. He had to be handled as gingerly as dynamite. The Don shrugged. Even dynamite could be exploded harmlessly if the need arose"
Sonny makes it clear that their biggest fear is that Luca would turn on them. So did the Don have Luca disarmed, before he could be used against the Corleones?

for as long as you can remember, luca brasi had always been there for you. though he had been proven by the incessant word of mouth to be a frightful, revered man of deadly, brute strength, you'd never seen it. to you, luca was your bodyguard during chatty walks in the tomato garden, peaking through the cordon stakes as the blooms veiled across his stern italian face. he had been your quiet playmate when you were young, keeping you company while the large oaken door to your father's office was kept closed and locked to potential interlopers. in the mornings, when called to do business, he'd stand outside your family’s home to catch a glimpse of your window curtain sliding open, so he'd know you'd made it through the night. luca was a man who was feared by all who knew what was best for him. but to you, he was the greatest guardian angel you'd ever known and you loved him for it without fault. now, as you loaded the last of your chests into the trunk of your family's car, swatting wisps of hair from your face, the tight little knot in your chest causing your lungs to sigh repeatedly from heartbreak and nostalgia, you turn to see him lingering by the patch of green beneath your mother’s clothesline in the distance, unsure of himself, but absolutely sure of your presence soon weaning like the sun befalling the dusk. you float past the car to him. he visibly stiffens, nerves overpowering the rest of his likeness until he was bloated and red in the face with frustration, and you take his fat hands in yours, rub your thumbs along his thick olive skin. he tightens around your fingers gratefully for you are his safety now. "i..." he starts, breaking to give a heavy breath and recall the words he practiced with concentrated eyes. and though he spoke with sentiment, his voice was still as proud and as penetrating as ever. "i will be here when you... you come back." luca brasi was a man who kept his word. you know deep down in your gut that he didn't mean to lie. his death was the hardest you'd ever lived through. to this day, recalling the sting of the news, you’re reminded that it still is.

Trying so hard to be back on my bullshit rn but I can't because the content I want to be obsessing over doesn't exist and I'm too depressed to make it myself.
Anyway, who remembers the feathery blue alien hitman from MIB: International because that's peak character design right there

Top Five Favorite Movies That Had Pro Wrestlers involved
Top Five Favorite Movies That Had Pro Wrestlers involved
Brian Damage Pro Wrestlers have been involved with Hollywood, almost as long as movies were being made. Many times they would film a quick cameo appearance or be an extra as a “heavy” without many even realizing they were professional grapplers. Nowadays, wrestlers have become more leading men and women, starring and headlining feature films. Today’s top five looks at my personal favorite movies…

(via luca brasi - Google Search) I finished reading The Godfather recently since it’s the 50th anniversary of the film. Yo, Luca Brasi was a much bigger goon in the book than he was in the movie!
